PRIVATES

Alderman, Baccus G. enlisted at age 26 Feb 24th 1865 Mustered out with Company 9/11/1865

Almond M Allyn

Allen, Almond M. enlisted at age 18 Feb 10th 1865 Mustered out with Company 9/11/1865

Almond's granddaughter wrote in a family history: "...When Almond was a very short and rather frail teenager, he enlisted in the Ohio Infantry at the age of nineteen to fight for the North and the freedom of slaves. He had become accustomed to sharing the family cellar, the woodshed, the barn and any other hiding place with runaway slaves as they struggled north. He enrolled at Morgan, Ohio, on February 10 and was mustered in at Warren, Ohio on Valentine's Day, 1865, as a private on Company K of the 196th Volunteer Infantry. The record states that the boy was only five-foot three, with gray eyes and brown hair. I doubt if he even weighted half as much as a yearling calf. Due to his slight physique, Almond had been inducted as a drummer boy for his unit. Pvt. Almond Allyn was mustered out seven months later in September with an Honorable discharge at Baltimore, Maryland. His record states: 'Totally disabled from the performance of manual labor by reason of disability while in line of duty, by disease." The record doesn't reveal the nature of his disease.'

LOCKWOOD, NILES CIVIL WAR VETERAN Niles, March 24.--Winfield Scott Lockwood, aged 84, one of the youngest Civil War veterans in the state, died of infirmities of advanced age at 1:30 a.m. Friday at his home, 924 N. Main St. Mr. Lockwood suffered a paralytic stroke last June, and had been an invalid since that time. He was born in Niles Sept. 15, 1849, a son of Ira and Elizabeth Bishop Lockwood, pioneer residents of the Mahoning Valley. Mr. Lockwood had spent his entire life in Niles. Too young to enlist at the outbreak of the Civil War, with two older brothers he answered the call to the colors at Warren when he was but 15 years of age, enlisting in Company K, 196th Regiment, O.V.I. He served under Captain Theodore M. Hughes, and was not yet 16 when he received his discharge at Baltimore, Md., on Sept. 11, 1865. Completing his service, he returned to Niles, where he followed his trade as a contractor. He had been retired a number of years. He married Miss Catherine Rook of Pennsylvania, and on Sept. 21 the venerable pair celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary. The couple resided in their present home for 48 years, and had probably been married longer than any other couple in Niles. Mrs. Lockwood is 80 years old. Of the 10 children born to the union, all are living. In addition to his wife and children, Mr. Lockwood is survived by 23 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. He also leaves a brother, Edgar, also a Civil War veteran, and a sister, Mrs. Julia Carlton, of Ashtabula. The other brother who was a veteran, Theodore, died several years ago. The ten children are Jessie Lockwood, Mrs. Edward R. Grubbs, Mrs. Harry Price, Mrs. Arthur R. Nicholas, Mrs. D.F. Williams, Mrs. Ray Bailey, Mrs. Charles Hurst, and Edgar G. Lockwood of Niles, James of Cleveland and Mrs. Edward Teidy of Canonsburg, Pa. Mr. Lockwood was the "baby veteran" of McPherson Post, G.A.R. His death leaves the Post membership, once more than 180, with only six veterans surviving. At the time of his death, he was serving as officer of the day for the Post. He was a lifelong member of the Christian Church. Funeral service will be held Monday at two p.m. at the family residence, N. Main St., Rev. W.S. Collins officiating. Interment will be in Union Cemetery.
