Old Fayette County Troops for the War
Old Fayette County details the Fayette County formed OtiTown Infantry during the Civil War era. It covers recruitment by Hen. Wm. Yue Dover, muster at Dubuque, roster aspects of Company F led by James W. Towser, and notable officers including Almer G. Neff and Edgar Tisdale. It notes later service, promotions, wounds at Pea Ridge, and postwar lives of several veterans, including legislative service and church leadership. The piece also mentions other unrelated notices and a fraud warning about a bunco salesman targeting farmers.
