Captain Lutz was born October 31st, 1838, at Circleville, O., at which place he resided until the breaking out of the rebellion, when he entered the ranks of the 2nd Ohio regiment, and with it participated in the first battle of Bull Run. After the expiration of his three months' term, he assisted in recruiting and organizing Company B., 13th Ohio regiment, of which he became First Lieutenant, which position he resigned to accept the Captaincy of Company A., 27th Ohio regiment, with which he served under Fremont in Missouri, and afterwards participated in the capture of Island No. 10, in the battle of Corinth, the battle of Iuka and campaign in Northern Mississippi. He resigned in March, 1863, and in the following December was married at Circleville, O., to Carrie Howard, only daughter of Henry Howard, deceased, former Sheriff of Pickaway county, by whom he had two children, Florence and Howard, the former fifteen and the latter four years of age.

In 1865 he established a drug store in Genesee, Mo., where he remained until 1868, when he moved to Chicago, and there remained until his death.

As a soldier and citizen he was all men ought to be, and now we his comrades are called upon to join his bereaved family in tearful regrets over his untimely death.

General John Morrow Hedrick died at Ottumwa, Iowa, October 3d, 1886, of paralysis.

General Hedrick was born in Rush county, Indiana, December 16th, 1831; was reared upon a farm, and emigrated to this county with his father's family in 1845, and remained with his father upon the farm till engaging as a clerk in a dry goods store at the age of twenty, and upon his arriving at his majority he became a partner in the house where he was employed as clerk. The General continued in the mercantile business for nearly all the time after he engaged in it till he entered the army as First Lieutenant of Company D., 15th Iowa infantry, September 20th, 1861. While the regiment was in rendezvous at Keokuk, Iowa, he was promoted to the Captaincy of Company K., of the 15th; and in the first day's battle at Shiloh his regiment was to the front in General Ben. Prentiss' command, and there he was quite severely wounded and taken prisoner. He was six months in various prisons of the South, and finally paroled October 18th, 1862, and came to his home in this city, where he remained until exchanged, and then joined his regiment at Lafayette, Tennessee, February 9th, 1863. He was soon thereafter promoted to the Majority of the regiment, and on the 22d of April following was commissioned Lieutenant-Colonel. In the spring of 1864, the Republican state convention selected the General as a delegate to the National Convention, sitting that year in Baltimore, which convention renominated lamented Lincoln for President, the General being an earnest supporter of his nomination. On the 22d of July, 1864, in the fierce fighting of that day before Atlanta, Ga., General Hedrick received a fearful wound in the hip, the hall passing round near to the spine; and while being borne from the field, he

received another ball through his arm. His wounds proved nearly fatal; and when he did get able to be around, he went on crutches for many months. Unable to take the field, he was detailed for duty in the War Department at Washington, and remained there from March, 1865, to September, 1866. He was a member of the court martial that tried the conspirators who expiated their offense upon the gallows for the murder of Lincoln and the attempted murder of Secretary Seward and others. Upon the fall of Atlanta, the Colonel of the regiment, W. W. Belknap, was promoted to be Brigadier-General, and Hedrick was promoted to the Colonelcy, his commission dating August 20th, 1864. He was soon after commissioned Brevet-Brigadier-General for conspicuous gallantry upon the field of battle. In 1866, he was appointed Postmaster of Ottumwa, and held that office until he resigned to take the position of Supervisor of Internal Revenue for Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Colorado and Dakota in 1870. He held this position until 1876, and until under a revision of the corps of the Internal Revenue officials, when supervisors were superceded by revenue agents. He afterwards identified himself with the leading railroad enterprises of his state, and devoted himself to the advancement of the material interests of his city and state.

He was united in marriage in 1853 to Matilda Caroline Haines, who survives him, a most estimable lady, on whom we know he leaned with loving confidence in all his severe trials. Five children also mourn with their mother their irreparable loss, viz: Kate M. Ladd (a widow with two children), Howard L., Charles M., Harry McPherson and Carita B.

His aged father, Hon. John W. Hedrick, at the advanced age of seventy-seven still quite hale, mourns this his second son sacrificed on the altar of his country. Several brothers and sisters, too, are left to mourn their elder brother.

The funeral services were held at the house and grave, Rev. Blakeley conducting them. At the grave a beautiful tribute was paid to his worth by his old commander, General W. W. Belknap. It were worth the living to have so grand and truthful a tribute given to a friend. Several thousand people attended the funeral. The line of carriages stretched for over a mile. The reunion of the 2nd Iowa infantry in Ottumwa took place on the day of the funeral, and many soldiers and all of the civic societies marched in the funeral procession.

Major-General John A. Logan died at Washington City, December 26th, 1886, of rheumatism.

General Logan was born February 9th, 1826, in Jackson county, Ill. He did but little in the way of obtaining an education until his sixteenth year, when he entered Shiloh College where he remained for about three years, soon after which the Mexican war was inaugurated, and young Logan enlisted as a private in Company H., 1st Illinois regiment. He was soon promoted to First Lieutenant and regimental Quartermaster. After his return home he was elected Clerk of the county of his

native county, which he held until he concluded to study law, in the practice of which he was afterwards so successful.

In 1852, he was elected a member of the Illinois Legislature and subsequently Prosecuting Attorney of the Judicial District.

November 27th, 1855, he was married to Miss Mary S. Cunningham, who has helped to earn and most worthily worn the numerous honors bestowed upon her distinguished husband. No woman in American history has ever occupied so high and conspicuous a place in public esteem as Mrs. Logan.

In 1856 he was again elected a member of the State Legislature, and in December, 1858, took his seat as a member of the 37th Congress. Although a Democrat of the most pronounced type, he at once arrayed himself in antagonism to the unreasonable demands of the Southern secessionists.

In 1860 he was a delegate to the Democratic convention at Charleston, and then warmly espoused the nomination of Stephen A. Douglas. During the gloomy winter that preceded the opening of hostilities, he did all that mortal man could do to prevent the conflict of arms, but when it came he was found in the front rank of his country's defenders as Colonel of the 31st Illinois regiment, and with which he participated in the battle of Belmont, the capture of Fort Henry, and the assault upon Fort Donaldson where he was severely wounded. He was immediately thereafter appointed a Brigadier-General and subsequently Major-General of volunteers, and participated as Brigade, Division and Corps commander, in every march, skirmish and battle of the Army of the Tennessee from the very beginning to the close of the rebellion, finally succeeding to the supreme command of that gallant army which he had done so much to create, and which marched more miles and fought more battles than any other organized army, without ever suffering defeat, or being required to relinquish one foot of territory which their valor had won.

After the close of the war he became fully and actively identified with the Republican party, and as probably the strongest advocate of its principles was again elected a Congressman at Large from the State of Illinois. In January, 1868, his comrades of the G. A. R. elected him Commander-in-Chief of the order, and subsequently honored him and themselves by twice re-electing him to that distinguished position. In 1870, he was again elected Congressman at Large, but soon resigned to accept the United States Senatorship, which he continously filled to the time of his death. His history is the history of the Army of the Tennessee, and the recollection of his loyal, brave and patriotic services will be ever cherished as one of the most sacred heritages of our Society.

He was a brave and dashing soldier, an estimable citizen, a kind and generous husband and most worthy member of our Society.
