From the 11th., Regimental HIstory.

Alonzo B. Searing enlisted in Company E, Eleventh New Jersey Volunteers, August 18th, 1862, and was, at the time of his entrance into the service, eighteen years of age. He was with the regiment during its entire term of service, being present at its muster-out, June 6th, 1865. Searing, like many others in the regiment, became a soldier when quite young, and the effect- ive fighting element of the army was composed of just such men, the great bulk of them serving in the three-years volun- teers of 1861 and 1862. At Gettysburg the two men on his immediate right were mortally wounded, while he escaped with a slight ankle wound. Searing was a faithful, brave and effi- cient soldier. Since the close of the war he has served five years in the National Guard of New Jersey. He now resides at Dover, New Jersey.

Dr. William P. Madden.

William P. Madden first saw the smoke of battle during service at Floyd Mountain, West Virginia. He later took part in the battles of Lewisburg, Somerset and Knoxville, under General Burnside, and at Strawberry Plains, Stanton and Lynchburg, Virginia, it being during the latter engagement, as noted above, that he was taken prisoner and sent to Andersonville. On April i, 1865, he was exchanged and with many others who were thus released from the cruel stockade later became one of the two thousand three hundred and thirty-four exchanged prisoners who boarded the ill-fated steamer "Sultana" bound for Cairo, Illinois, and when that vessel enroute was sunk by reason of the explosion of its boiler was one of the six hundred and thirty- four who were able to make their escape and reach shore, he having been on deck and able to leap into the water free from the wreckage at the time of the explosion.

In due time he was able to report to his command and on May 30, 1865, was mustered out by special order of the war department, as one of the survivors of the "Sultana." Upon receiving his discharge he resumed his work on the home farm in Clark county and in that neighborhood early in 1868 was married, later establishing his home on a farm in Adair county, Missouri. In 1873, at Kirksville, Missouri, he took up the study of medicine, under the preceptorship of Dr. J. H. Wesher, and later entered the Eclectic Medical Institute at Cincinnati, from which he was graduated in 1875. Upon receiving his diploma. Doctor Madden opened an office at Cedar- ville, in this county, and there continued in practice until 1885, when he moved to Xenia, where he was engaged in practice the rest of his life

James “Dick” Liddell

Push to enlarge.

James “Dick” Liddell was a member of William Clarke Quantrill’s Confederate guerilla band during the Civil War. In this photo, Liddell is wearing a mounted services jacket, most likely taken from a Union soldier. Quantrill and his guerrillas harassed Union soldiers, raided pro-Union towns, and scored several dramatic and devastating victories, such as the raid on Lawrence, Kansas on August 21, 1863, and the massacre of General James Blunt’s command two months later at Baxter Springs, Kansas.

In 1874 Liddell was convicted of horse stealing and served three and a half years in the Missouri State Penitentiary. In 1879 he joined the Frank and Jesse James gang for their robbery of the Glendale Missouri bank. In 1881, Liddell was arrested, tried, and found guilty for the robbery of a U.S. paymaster. Released from custody, he testified against Frank James when the famous outlaw was tried in Gallatin, Missouri, for the murder of a passenger during a train robbery. Following the trial, Liddell went to New Mexico, traveled to New Jersey, and was finally arrested in Missouri in 1891 for the 1881 murder of Wood Hite, another member of the James gang and perhaps Jesse’s closest friend

Sandusky County, Ohio History.

DAVID DAUB, a veteran of the Civil War and well known retired farmer of Burgoori, was for many years one of the leading agriculturists of Jackson Township. He was born February 18, 1845, in York County, Pennsylvania, and is a son of Michael and Kajherine (Harmon^ Daub, the former a native of Germany and the latter of York County, Pennsylvania. Michael and Katherine Daub were the parents of the following children: Lydia Ann, deceased ; David, subject of this record; Rebecca; Katherine; Sarah; Henry M., and Michael, all of whom, with the exception of our subject, reside in Putnam County. Ohio. Michael Daub passed out of this life at the age of eighty-two years,his wife dying at the age of about sixty years.

David Daub was about ten years old when his parents moved from York County, Pennsylvania, to Lancaster County, where he was educated and grew to man's estate. On February 20, 1864, he enlisted at Phila- delphia in Company B, in the 45th Penna. Vol. Inf., and served throughout the entire war, participating in many important bat- tles, including the Battle of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, and the Battle of Peters- burg. On July 30, 1864, when the mine was exploded at Petersburg, he was taken pris- oner and confined for a period of seven months in the Andersonville Prison, be- ing taken from there to Libby Prison pending an arrangement for an exchange of Federal and Confederate prisoners. In two days he was released from prison and given a fifty days furlough after which he re- turned to the regiment and served on guard duty until the close of the war, being discharged July 17, 1865, at Alexandria, Virginia.

After the war he came to Sandusky County, Ohio, and located on a farm of 120 acres in Jackson Township, where he fol- lowed farming in a general way until April, 1901, when he came to Burgoon, where for a number of years he was engaged in the hardware business and acted as agent for farming implement firms. His hardware establishment was destroyed by fire on Feb- ruary 23, 1908, since which time he has been living in retirement. Mr. Daub still owns his farm, which is operated by his son- in-law, J. I. Rinebolt, and has an interest in a gas plant in this locality.

August 27, 1868, Mr. Daub was married to Lydia Shale, a daughter of John and Katherine (Crites) Shale, who were among the early settlers of Sandusky County. Mr. and Mrs. Daub became parents of the fol- lowing children : Alice D., married Charles Ritzman, of this county and has one child, Leona M.; Sarah C, lives at home; Minnie V., married William White, of Turner, Michigan, and they have two children, Gar- rett and Virgi; Charlotte, married Elmer White, a brother of William White, her sister's husband, and they reside in Gratiot County, Michigan, and have five children; Daisy, Clarence, U. V., Annie and Emma, twins; U. V., who lives on the home farm in Jackson Township, married J. I. Rinebolt, and has one child, Gertrude; Lillie, died aged five years.

Mr. Daub is a member of the G. A. R., Eugene Rawson Post, of Fremont, Ohio. He takes an active nterest in politics, has served as road supervisor, and was ap- pointed by the County Commissioners to see that old soldiers without money were given a proper burial. He is a member of the Evangelical Union Church.
