Tennessee from the beginning, until desperate wounds necessitated his assignment to less active duties. Wounded at Fort Donelson and again at Shiloh, and still again at Corinth, on the 16th of November 1863 he was assigned to the 4th Veteran Reserve Corps at Rock Island, with which he served out his term of enlistment.

After his return to civil life he first became sheriff of Madison county, then manager of a railroad, thence essayed farming, and subsequently, after a short residence in Florida, became a resident of St. Louis, where he died.

He was married on May 10th, 1858, to Mary, the eldest daughter of Dr. J. H. Weir, from the fruits of which happy union four children were born, two of whom survive.

He was a genial, courteous gentlemen, a model husband, a kind father and a true friend.

While we, his companions of the Army of the Tennessee, mourn his loss, we do not forget the yet deeper sorrow of his widowed companion and devoted children with whom we deeply sypmathize.

WILLIAM TECUMSEH SHERMAN.

GENERAL UNITED STATES ARMY.

BORN, FEBRUARY 8TH, 1820,

DIED, FEBRUARY 14TH, 1891.

General John Wallace Fuller died suddenly at Toledo, O., March 12th, 1891.

General Fuller was born at Harston, Cambridgeshire, England, July 28th, 1827. In 1833 he emigrated with his family, and settled at Vernon, Oneida county, N. Y. At the age of fourteen he removed to Utica, N. Y., and there accepted a clerkship in a book-store. His previous opportunities for acquiring an education having been limited, he eagerly seized upon the advantage thus afforded by his surroundings, and soon acquired a fine literary taste, and became a writer of no mean ability.

He removed to Toledo in 1858, and there engaged in the book and stationery trade, and this continued until the declaration of war, when he at once espoused the Union cause, and soon entered the service as Colonel of the 27th Ohio Infantry, and with it served in Missouri, and subsequently in the advance against New Madrid and Island No. 10, in which he commanded a brigade.

His subsequent military history would be but a repetition of the history of the Army of the Tennessee, with which he served from its organization to the close of the war.

In personal appearance General Fuller was small, compactly built, with piercing black eyes, and inclined to baldness. While not a striking military figure, his earnestness and energy, while in the discharge of his military duties, impressed the observer with his capacity for command.

At the close of the war he retired to private life with the rank of Brevet Major-General of Volunteers, and engaging in business pursuits was highly successful, not only in accumulating a competency for his family, but in winning a reputation for his sterling integrity of char

acter.

He was a member of the Baptist church, Toledo Post G. A. R. and the Ohio Commandery of the Loyal Legion.

He leaves a wife and six children, all of whom, save one daughter, Irene-who was abroad, were present at his death-bed.

His death was traceable to a severe spell of sickness he had four since, from the effects of which he never fully recovered.

years

Genial, whole-souled, honorable and loyal to his friends, his memory will ever remain green in the hearts of his comrades of the Army of the Tennessee.

Dr. Christopher Goodbrake died March 16th, 1891, at Clinton, Ill., from the effects of a severe cold, contracted in the discharge of his professional duties.

Dr. Goodbrake was born on the 14th of June, 1816, at Stuttgart, and with his parents came to America in 1821, locating on a farm near Salem, Columbiana county, O., and attending such schools as were accessible in that sparsely settled country. He subsequently studied medicine at Allegheny City, Penn., and in the summer of 1840 began

practicing at Portsmouth, O., where he remained three years. In 1847 he removed to Clinton, Ill., where he has since resided.

He first enlisted as a private soldier in Company E., 20th Illinois Infantry, but soon thereafter became a Surgeon.

A year later he was promoted to Medical Director of 3rd Division, 17th A. C., and subsequently accompanied his chief, General Logan, through all the various campaigns of the Army of the Tennessee, from its organization to the close of the war.

Returning to his old home he again entered upon the practice of his profession, and became one of the most enterprising citizens of Clinton, serving his fellow-citizens as Mayor, member of the School Board, and in other places of honor and trust.

He was an enthusiast in his profession, in which he achieved great and deserved distinction, being a life member of the Illinois State Medical Association, and for a term its honored President. He was the founder of the De Witt Co. Medical Society, and for two years its Secretary.

In 1866 he was elected President of the Central Illinois Medical Society, and for a number of years the leading surgeon of that section of his adopted State.

He was married to Miss Charlotte Gleason, a native of Brookfield, Mass., in 1847, with whom he happily lived until her death in March, 1872, leaving an only daughter, now Mrs. Amanda Taylor.

His life work has been finished, and all that is mortal of our esteemed friend and warm-hearted comrade now rests in Woodlawn cemetery, clothed in commandery uniform, and bearing upon his left breast the badge of the Society of the Army of the Tennessee.

General William Emerson Strong, died at Florence, Italy, April 10th, 1891.

General Strong was born in Granville, Washington county, N. Y., August 10th, 1840. Nine years later he removed with his father's family to Cambria, Niagara county, N. Y., and subsequently to New Fame, a village about fourteen miles distant from Lockport, N. Y.

In 1853 the family moved to and commenced farming in Rock county Wisconsin, where young Strong, though but thirteen years of age, became his father's principal assistant in all the arduous duties of a farmer.

His educational advantages during this period were confined to "winter terms" and home instruction, until the spring of 1857, when he was granted the privilege of attending the preparatory department of Beloit college, supplemented by a course of legal instruction, in the office of his brother-in-law, Henry T. Fuller, Esq., of Racine, Wis., resulted in his admission to practice on the 15th of April, 1861.

On the very day of his admission to the bar, the news of the fall of Sumter was flashed over the wires, and young Strong at once tendered his services to the Government, and on the 24th of April was given

his commission as Captain of the "Belle City Rifles," and ordered to rendezvous his company at Camp Randall near Madison, Wis. His company was subsequently assigned as Company F. Second Wisconsin Infantry and with that regiment reached Washington City, June 1st, 1861. Subsequently assigned to the brigade commanded by General Wm. T. Sherman, it went into camp at Fort Corcoran, Va., opposite Washington City, where it remained until the forward movement of the Union army.

He commanded his company during the engagement at Blackburn's Ford, July 18th, and during the battle of Bull Run, July 21st, and subsequently during the advance into Virginia via Cambridge in September, 1861.

September 12th he was commissioned as Major of the 12th Wisconsin Infantry, a new regiment then being enlisted, with Colonel Geo. E. Bryant as Colonel.

Returning to Wisconsin he joined his new command and during the months of October, November and December was actively engaged in fitting it for active service in the field.

The regiment left camp January 8th, 1862, under orders for Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where it arrived February 10th.

In the latter part of this month the regiment was transferred to Fort Reilley, at the junction of the Smoky Hill and Republican Forks, where it arrived April 25th, and just one month subsequently embarked for Columbus, Ky. where it arrived June 2nd and at once participated in the laborious work of repairing the Mobile and Ohio R. R., and rebuilding the bridge over Obian river, which being completed on the 1st of July, the regiment moved to Humbolt where it remained during the months of July, August and September, and until the second battle of Corinth, when Major Strong, then in command of the regiment, was ordered to make a forced march with his regiment to Bolivar, Tenn. for the purpose of intercepting the retreat of the Confederate army at the crossing of the Hatchie.

The 12th was subsequently attached to Lanman's brigade of 6th Division and assigned to the “Right Wing" of the Army of the Tennessee, and with it participated in all the subsequent operations of that army, while Colonel Strong was detached and ordered to report for duty as Inspector-General-Right-Wing of the Army of the Tennessee, on staff of Major-General McPherson, commanding, an assignment and association terminated only by the General's untimely death in front of Atlanta on the 22nd of July, 1864.

After General McPherson's death he continued on the staff of General Howard as Inspector-General of the Army of the Tennessee until the close of the war, when he was appointed Inspector-General of the Freedmen's Bureau, in which position he served from May 19th, 1865 to September 1st, 1866, when he resigned with the brevet rank of Brigadier-General.

He was an active participant in the battles of Blackburn's Ford, Bull
