Charles G. Bratton.

First I want to give a big thank you to all the volunteers of the Topeka Room, of the Topeka/Shawnee County Public Library, for without their help this page would not have been possible.
-------------------------------------

When I first ran across Charles G. Bratton, I found his story very interesting, a lot of it had do with I grow up around Burlingame Kansas, ( Scranton .) I did a page on him in 2008, which you may want to read as there is some information on that page that will not be on this page. http://civilwarthosesurnames.blogspot.com/2008/12/charles-g-bratton-officer-of-law-1871.html

Charles was born in September 16, 1848, Pennsylvania, to Rev. George and Rebecca J. ( Allison ) Bratton.  Charles came to Burlingame Kansas as a small boy and grew into manhood there.  Mrs. Bratton was the proprietor of the Bratton House ( Hotle ), Mr. Bratton was a Minister but a carpenter by trade.  There is no record on his live in Burlingame.  In 1870, we find him in Wichita Kansas, he was 21, years.  There is no historical record on how or way he was there, but in February of 1872, he was a special policeman on the Wichita plice force.  Nothing is found on him till 1874, when we find him back in Burlingame, there is no record on why he was in Burlingame, more then likely to visit his family. 

On December 27, 1874, this news story appeared in ( The Commonwealth p4., col. 3.)

Date December 23, 1874, Afatal stabbing affray took place in this city last night.  As James Louders, our city marshal was taking Don Wurtze or Wortz to the lock-up, on a warrant for attempting to shoot his wife, Wurtze pulled a butcher knife from his boot and stabbed Charles G. Bratton twice.  Bratton was aiding marshal.  The first time in his side, the knife penetrating to his lungs, the second time in the small of his back, the knife going through one of his kidneys.  The wounds are considered fatal.  Wurtze was under the influsnce of liquor.  He was proptly disarmed and conveyed to the lockup.

On December 30, 1874, another story appeared in The Commonwealth Col 1., p. 4.

A Letter from our Burlingame correspondent brings the news of the death of Mr. Charles Bratton at that place.  Mr. Bratton was a cordial friend, a good citizen, and we, in common with the citizens of Burlingame deplore his untimely end.

The circuit court of Osage county will hold an adjourned session next week.  Probably Wortz or Wurtze will be tried for the murder of Mr. Bratton.

A final news story appeared in The Commonweath, on December 30, 1874, p.4, Col. 2.

Date December 29, 1874, Charles G. Bratton, who was stabbed by Don Wortz or Wurtze , as reported in the Commonweath, died on Sabbath morning and was buried yesterday.

Last evening Don  Wortz or Wurtze was brought up for examintion on the charge of murder, and pleaded guiltyand is sent up to jail at Topeka to-day.

Charles G. Bratton, Burial was at the Burlingame City Cemetery, Osage County Kansas. 

Charles G. Bratton can also be found on the United States, Officer Down Memorial, which is on line.

Rev. George Bratton, father of Charles G. Bratton.

REV. GEORGE BRATTON came to Kansas in 1854 from Indiana County, Pa., having first organized a company, which was afterwards concentrated with the American Settlement Company of New York. Mr. Bratton located a quarter section of land, which is now a part of the town of Burlingame. He afterward took an additional claim of 160 acres near the present town site. In the spring of 1855 others came and joined the feeble settlement and located a saw-mill and went through all the privations of pioneer life. Rev. Mr. Bratton was born in Mifflin County, Pa., May 27, 1816. Resided there until 1838 and learned the carpenters' trade and moved to Western Pennsylvania. Was married November 1, 1838, at Centerville, Pa., to Miss Rebecca J. Allison, a native of Indiana County, Pa. Resided in that locality a few years, and returned to his native county.

Exhorted some and was a member of the Quarterly Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church before coming West. In 1845 he united with the denomination of United Brethren in Christ, since which time he has been a minister of that denomination. While on his way to Kansas, Mr. Bratton, with others, was robbed of all the money he had, on the steamboat, but received assistance from Mrs. Bratton's brother, S. A. Allison, who, by the way, was the first postmaster of the little settlement. They kept a tavern in the building where the Kansas Lumber Company's office now is. In 1858, the Bratton House was erected, the lots being deeded to Mrs. Bratton by the Town Company. The first place of worship was in Mr. Bratton's cabin, which stood near the spot where the depot now stands. For many years Mrs. Bratton was the active proprietor of the Bratton House, Mr. Bratton being occupied with other matters.

They have had nine children, of whom only two are now living; Joseph, now in business at Burlington, Coffey County, and Emma, now Mrs. S. E. Shibby, of Burlingame. Emma was the first child born in Burlingame. Two of the boys were in the army; Robert A., first in the Second Kansas and afterward in Company E, One Hundred and Fourth Illinois Volunteer Infantry; he was wounded at Peach Tree Creek in front of Atlanta, and brought home by his father, but never entirely recovered; was afterward elected Sheriff of Osage County but subsequently died from the effects of his wounds; Joseph M. enlisted in the Twelfth Kansas and served until the close of the war.

At the time of the organization of Osage County, Mr. Bratton was Chairman of the Board and helped locate the county boundaries, roads, bridges, etc. Mr. Bratton has been a member of the City Council for fourteen years. Although becoming somewhat feeble in health, still takes an active interest in the town which he helped make, and still ministers in the church of his choice.  George Bratton, birth was May 27, 1816, his death was January 16, 1888. Burial was  Burlingame City Cemetery, Osage County Kansas.

Rebecca J. ( Allison ) Bratton mother of Charles G. Bratton, Born October 22, 1818, death April 28, 1899, burial  Burlingame City Cemetery, Osage County Kansas.

Samuel A. Bratton, brother to Charles G. Bratton, born May 29, 1851, death December 2, 1879, burial  Burlingame City Cemetery, Osage County Kansas.

Most of his Brothers and Sisters burials are at  Burlingame City Cemetery, Osage County Kansas.

Jack Shoolbred Of Butler's Scouts.

I found Jack Shoolbred a interresting man, for his deeds in the civil war if "Jack" was his real name.  I was unable to find him on any regimental rosters or on any death sites.  Jack may have been a nick name.  If any of you readers have any information on him I well be glad to post it here.
---------------------------

JACK SHOOLBRED SELLS A YANKEE "NIGGER"
In the fall of 1864 the fearless scout Jack Shoolbred, while scouting for Butler in rear of Grant s Army, captured a negro soldier and brought him to General Butler, and when asked what he proposed to do with him, said : "Well, General, I think I can sell him to Dick Hogan." Captain Hogan gave him two nice Yankee horses for the Yankee negro. Hogan sent the negro home and put him in the cotton patch. Jack Shoolbred rode one of the horses (a splendid clay bank) until the end of the war, and
brought him home.

In 1863 Captain McDonald, of the First Michigan Cavalry, was sent out with a squad of men to do up the "Iron Scouts." Dick Hogan, Bill Mikler, Jack Shoolbred, Newt. Fowles, Barney Henegan, Calhoun Sparks, Cecil Johnson, Hugh Mikler, Prioleau Henderson, Joe Beck, George Crafton and Jim Dulin were the kind of men that Captain McDonald was sent after. Only three or four of the above scouts met him. They saw him coming and when it suited them they charged him, killing and capturing the last one of them. Jack Shoolbred, having emptied one pistol, threw it at the gallant Captain McDonald, striking him on the head, and, he being stunned by the blow, Jack drew his other pistol and shot him in the shoulder. McDonald said, "You have wounded me, and I will surrender." Thus ended McDonald s raids for a while at least.

Jack Shoolbred, in the latter part of 1863, while in a house, the Yankees surrounded it and captured him and his fine horse, Don, but Jack never could recapture him as he was ridden during the remainder of the war by the adjutant of the Eighth Illinois Cavalry, who was not required to do picket duty. Jack escaped that night.

In the autumn of 1863 Dick Hogan, Barney Henegan, Prioleau Henderson, Jack Shoolbred and another scout rode up to Mrs. Maxfield s house one day about 11 o clock A. M. and found that the enemy had just left after robbing her of everything they could lay hands on chickens, ducks, geese, bacon, flour, potatoes and even her sheets and wearing apparel. They told her that she had been harboring Hampton s scouts and they intended to break it up. There were seven in the Yankee squad and five of the Iron
Scouts,- who took a near cut on them, and at Mr. Trenniss house they caught sight of them. Now the race began. The Yanks threw away everything they had stolen. Our scouts killed two, wounded three, captured one and only one escaped.

Jack Sanders & Joseph Soper.

Here is a humorous story told about Jack Sanders and Joseph Soper, privates of the First Missouri Engneers.

Push to enlarge.

At Camp Ilasie, Flat Creek, every few days the men were put through the battalion drill and practiced firing at a target. The arms were the old-fashioned United States flint-lock smooth-bore musket and Belgian musket, both altered to cap lock and rifled to sixty-nine calibre, and the recoil in firing was fearful. The men had to clean, load and fire them off nearly every day. Jack Sanders, of Company E, declared he did not want his shoulder bruised into a jelly holding his musket, and said to his chum, Soper, of the same company : " Let me fasten it to your back with your belt, and you get on your hands and knees and fire it off that way." "All right," says Soper, and proceeded to put it into action. The muzzle happened to be close to Soper's ear, and when it went off nearly deafened him, and in the recoil the gun jumped back and sideways, just missing Sander's shins and sending Soper sprawling over sideways.

The 21st of January, at Moscow, a scouting party of Company E, who were out, had two of their men captured, Privates Joseph Soper, Jack Sanders, James Wilson, D. F. Smith and Finch escaping.

Jack Sanders aka Jackson Hastings, private, , First Missouri Engneers Co. E., enlisted July 13, 1861, Adrian, Mich., dead.

Joseph Soper, private, First Missouri Engneers Co. E., enlisted July 13, 1861, Adrian, Mich.

William Valmore Izlar, Edisto Rifles-S. C.

Push to enlarge.

William Valmore Izlar.

Birth: May 13, 1840.
Death: Oct. 10, 1912.

He was the son of Julia Elizabeth Allison Pou and William Henry Izlar.

He married in Orangeburg District, South Carolina, December 28, 1870, Annie Adella Felder.

William enlisted as a Private in the Edisto Rifles at Summerville, July 20, 1861; reported on muster roll of December 31, 1861, as on extra duty in the Commissary Department; reported on muster roll of February 28, 1862, as present; on muster roll of April 12, 1862.

Spouse: Annie Adella Felder Izlar (1850 - 1932)

Children: Pauline Felder Izlar Bishop (1872 - 1940)

Burial: Felder Family Cemetery, Orangeburg County, South Carolina.

William V. Izlar wrote a book called: A Sketch of the War Record of the Edisto Rifles, Publ. 1914.  This book can be found on the internet.  This book not only gives the history of the Edisto Rifles such as battles and &c. but gives a lot of information on the men as well.

There were other Izlar's in this company as well, Benjamin P., and James F., and one or two others.  You can read about them in the book.  If you would like to learn more Benjamin and James Izlar and their family go to the site of ( Find a Grave.)

I found it interesting on what William V. Izlar had to say about their servants.

Many of the young members of the Edisto Rifles took with them to the army their negro servants, who not only waited on their young masters faithfully, but cooked their meals also. When in Virginia these servants stayed in the rear, with the "wagon train, but w^ould bring meals to the front every day.

I can only remember the names of those I mention below :

Donald J. Rowe's servant Caesa
Medicus Rickenbaker, servant Anthony.
William V. Izlar and brother, servant Sam.
Jude Robinson and brother, servant Cudjo.
Samuel J. Felder, servant Pierce.
George Elliott, servant Peter.
J. H. Hook and brother, servant Cephas.
Frank S. Inabinet and brother, servant Derril.
J. R. Kennerly, servant Wash.
J. A. Holstein, servant Toney.
Samuel Hall, servant Isaac.
Jefferson Stokes, servant Jim.

These servants were regularly rationed by the government the same as enlisted men. My boy Sam came to the front with rations as usual one day when it was comparatively quiet, but about the time
he reached the lines the enemy commenced a vigorous shelling. This was more than Sam could stand, and he made a hasty flight to the rear. He ran so fast that you could see the bottoms of both his feet in the air at once.

William E. Colston, Mosby Ranger.

William E. Colston was born in Washington, March 24th, 1839, but his early years were spent in Virginia, the home of his ancestors. He came to Baltimore about 1857, and was among the first to go to Virginia when the war broke out.

On June ist, 1861, he enlisted as a private in Company B, Maryland Guard, attached to the 21ist Virginia Infantry, but when the First Maryland Regiment was formed was transferred to Company H,
Capt. Wm. H. Murray, June i8th, 1861. In this company he served in all the campaigns and battles of the year, and at the battle of Cross Keys, June 8th, 1862, in Jackson s Valley Campaign he was desperately wounded, being shot through the body. He was permanently injured by this wound and disabled for a long time, but as soon as able to ride he was appointed Volunteer Aid to Major-Gen-
eral Trimble. General Trimble being wound ed and left at Gettysburg, Colston then volunteered into Mosbys command, and was killed in the night at tack on Harper s Ferry, January loth, 1864. He is buried in the Confederate lot at Loudoun Park with his old comrades of Company H, First Maryland Infantry.  A Memorial Room to him has been furnished in the Confederate Home at Pikesville, Md., by his brother, Capt. Frederick M. Colston.

Just "David", Massachusetts.

Push to enlarge.

David is just like the hundreds of escape slaves and freemen and women of color who came to the Union regiments looking for work, many were turn away.  The luckly ones found work as servants for some of the Officers.  Some would cook for a company, others would drive wagons and some would do laundry work.  Some came as run aways and were looking for protection from their masters.  Many of the free colored were trying to earn as much money as the could to feed their family.  Most all felt it was their duty to help the union to free them from slavery.  These people of color were not soldies nor citizzens, but faced the many dangers along with the soldiers.  Some men of color would become friends with a white soldier which would last a life time.  It was not all dangerous, there was time for humor too, take this humorous story told by C. H. Masury, about David.

David, the "little contraband", came to us in 1862 at Ft. Cass as a servant. He scalded his arms in a camp kettle, having them badly blistered. When they healed, they came out white. He came to me and said : "If I scalded me all over, would I be a white man?"

David was of the First Massachusetts Heavy Artillery, formerly the Fourteenth Infantry.  No known last name nor what company he was servant in.

The Farrier.

What is a Farrier?

A farrier is a person who trims horses feet and shoes horses.
They can also be used for overgrown pig feet and goat feet. The exterior of these special high maintenance feet is called hooves.

A farrier is a person who changes a horses horse shoes. In colonial times, the farrier would melt iron, and then fit it to the horses hoof after he had trimmed the hoof. Then he would let the metal cool and nail the horse shoe onto the horses hoof. The nailing didn't hurt the horse because they have no nerves in the area where the farrier nails the horseshoe in. However, the tender inside of the horses hoof including the frog, (which is a part of the horse's hoof) are very sensitive.

The following comes from the Library of Congress.

In 1777, the Farrier was paid $10, per month.
