James Jaquess and many "men of the cloth" served in the ranks. The unit was so successful, that the 116th Illinois was formed from the excess men.
On 31 December 1862, George was killed on the night before the Battle of Stones River (Tennessee).

[NI0150] From the 11 May 1887 edition of the Jefferson Democrat newspaper (Hillsboro, MO):

A lamentable tragedy occurred at Valle's Mines last Friday, which
resulted in the death of Robert C. Outman, whom we have always
considered a good citizen. From what we can learn Outman and a man
named Manwarring had a fight over an old difficulty, and Outman got the
better of his antagonist. George Minor,already known to fame as having
served a term in jail, through clemency of a petit jury, was present,
and remarked that he would whip Outman after giving him a day's rest.
Outman thought he didn't need any rest, but after quarreling a while
they made friends and started home together. When they got to where
their roads parted, Outman who carried a jug of whiskey, handed it to
Minor and asked him to take a parting drink. Minor took the jug, but
instead of taking friendly drink, as was expected of him, suddenly struck
Outman on the head with it, knocking him down, and following up the
assault. Friends came and took Outman home, where he lingered till
Sunday, dying of a fractured skull. Minor was permitted to escape, but
it is to be hoped that he will yet be arrested and meet with the
punishment he deserves. Outman leaves a wife and several children.

In 1862, when William was 9 years old, his father joined the Union Army and a few months later was killed in the Battle of Stones River. William's mother, Amelia, then took her children to northern Illinois to be near family. Amelia later decided to move to Kansas to make a home there. They left Illinois in the spring of 1869 and traveled in a covered wagon across the prairies. They settled near Guilford, Kansas. In the autumn of that same year, when William was 16 years old, his mother Amelia passed away. William took his 2 younger sisters, Mary and Ella, to northern Illinois to once again be near his Mother's family, the Corbett's.

In the 1880 Federal Census, William Henry is listed as living with his wife Margaret, son Robert, and daughter Mary in Berlin Township, Bureau Co., Illinois.

William followed the example of his father to become a teacher/principal and eventually settled in Marseilles, Ill. where he devoted his life to teaching. William married Margaret M. Steele of Malden, Ill. and together they had 5 children: Robert N., Mary E., Orr K., Winfred, and Leslie Roy (my grandfather). Margaret died in 1897 and in 1899 William married Alzoea Brownrigg of Jordanville, NY. Together they had 3 children, Virgil T., E. Amelia, and Evelyn Amelia Outman.

William Henry Outman had always yearned to know more about his father's family. In 1910 he learned of other Outman families in Michigan and began a correspondence. Eventually he learned more about the Outman family history, and located "practically all the descendents of 4 branches (Jonah, Stephen, John, and Jacob) of the Outman family". This culminated in the organization of an "Outman Family Reunion" with attendees from all 4 of these Outman branches, a tradition which continues today.

William Outman was a member of the Methodist Church and one of its leading workers. He was a bitter foe of the saloons and it is said of him that when he was but a small boy he was a strong advocate of temperance. He was an able speaker and was frequently called upon to talk. He became most prominent as President of the Law and Order League, as he was plaintiff in a test liquor case which went to the Supreme Court and was decided in his favor. He also was a leading member of the Modern Woodmen, a fraternal life insurance society, and a social member of the Royal Neighbors.

Biography of George W. Mellen Taken from the Book "History of Calhoun
Co.", Vol II, Pages 737 & 738:

GEORGE W. MELLEN - If peace tribunals and councils of arbitration accomplish the desired evolution in the international attitude regarding the bearing of arms by nation against nation, then will the old soldier become a rarity indeed. But never will America cease to reverence her patriots who have so courageously borne arms in her behalf. The historian points with pride to every old soldier and among these records with interest the chief facts in the life of George W. Mellen.

This worthy farmer is of Scotch-American ancestry. His parents, Phillip and Aurora (Best) Mellen, were New Yorkers, who were born in 1807 and 1811 respectively. Phillip Mellen, who was a cooper, left New York for the newer civilization of Ohio, later taking up his residence in Michigan, where he bought a farm of 80 acres on which he lived until his death.

George W. Mellen was born in 1837. He began life in the rural surroundings, which ever since have been his chosen habitat. His earliest agricultural experience was gained through farming on shares in Kalamazoo Co.. In 1856 he removed to Barry Co., where he bought a farm of 40 acres, which he retained and lived on for one year. His success was such that at the end of that time he bought another farm doubling the first in size in Calhoun Co.. This he again sold, buying again with a second expansion of his property, to the extent of 96 acres. He now owns a farm of 140 acres, well tilled and improved.

Mr. Mellen's estimable help-mate was the daughter of Jonah and Orenda (Isham) Outman, the former a New Yorker, the latter a native of Vermont. Like Mr. Mellen's parents, they too, changed their residence first to Ohio and later to Michigan. Mr. Outman who was of French descent was a particularly successful man for his day, becoming the possessor of 240 acres of land. His family was of the good old-fashioned kind, numbering eleven children. Mrs. Mellen was born on April 16, 1841.

The younger generation of the George Mellen family consists of two daughters. The elder, Orende, was married to John H. Underwood, a shoemaker of Battle Creek; whose death occurred February 21, 1910. Mrs. Underwood now resides with her parents. The second daughter, Phebe, is the wife of Mr. Bert Miller , a farmer of Athens township.

The family of George Mellen was brought up in the Methodist faith. Mr. Mellen is independent in politics, always weighing the relative value and fitness of men and measures in any issue. He is popular with his neighbors and associates, having been for forty years a member of the Athens Masonic Lodge, in which he has served as junior warden. He is wide awake and interested in all live topics of the day, although he is now rich in years and in memories of the time when as a private of Company A, Sixth Michigan Regulars, he served his country in many battles, including the siege of Mobile. May his days be long in the land.

In the 1920's he moved to Florida and entered politics.

William Dell Outman's biography is in the Special Collections at the Univ. of South Florida in Tampa.

This information is from the biography:
The biography file in question contains an undated obituary for William D. Outman, former legislator and newsman.

Vergennes Township, by F. M. Tuthill.
It will not be considered beneath the dignity of history to give the
origin of the name "Vergennes." Daniel B. Tuthill was, if not the
first, one of the first settlers, and cherished his wife an almost
knightly affection. When a post office was finally established, he had
it named Vergennes, in honor of his wife, whose native place was
Vergennes, in the Green Mountain State. Upon the adoption of a township
organization by the people of Jackson Co., in the year 18 , the name
of the post office was given to the newly organized township.
There are two small prairies in the township: "Cox's Prairie," which
lies near the centre, and "Tuthill's Prairie," which is north of this.
True to New England ideas, a school was soon established for the
education of the youth, in a log-house reared for the purpose. The
first school was a subscription-school, and was taught by Daniel B.
Tuthill, Sr., who was the first settler in the township. The second was
taught in the same place by Miss Wells. The pupils made good progress,
and in a few years thereafter many of them engaged themselves in the
noble occupation of teaching, and it is said that Vergennes furnished
more teachers than any other in the Co..
The first religious association in this township was Methodist. Rev.
Mr. Barnes preached the first sermon in the township, at Mr. Purdy's
house. Rev. Mr. Phelps was the first Presiding Elder after the
settlements. The most of the trading of this colony was done in St.
Louis, to which point they usually made two trips a year. Sometimes,
when pressed for time, they went only to Chester, in Randolph Co..
Most of the original settlers have gone. Daniel Tuthill, son of John
Tuthill, who was a brother of Daniel Tuthill, Sr. mentioned above, is a
resident of Tuthill's Prairie.
The township of Vergennes is bounded on the north by Perry county, on
the east by Elk Township, on the south by Somerset and on the west by
Ora. The chief industry of her people is agricultural. John Tuthill,
Sr., and son D. B. Tuthill, Jr. had at one time a manufactory of
measures, half bushel, peck, four quart, two quart and quart. They
marketed their products at St. Louis. They owned a saw-mill, and sawed
the lumber for their factory with it. Connected with this, was a
grist-mill, which did custom work two days in a week.
The citizens as above stated are mostly engaged in farming. Messrs.
Hack and Morgan have a saw and grist-mill. They grind only corn. Mr.
Holt is a good farmer, and farms on an extended scale, as also does Mr.
Tuthill.

Under the terms of this will, John's mother, Mary (Price) Clute, would have been eligible for 1 share ($11,976; equivalent to about $114,000 in 1999 dollars) , but since she had already passed away John and his brother and sister shared the inheritance.

Bernice Stoddard, 15 years old, was taken by police from a NY bound Train in Utica last night & returned to the home of her parents, No. 417 Hamilton St. this morning.

According to Mrs. Stoddard, Bernice is suffering from the results of injuries and shock received when she was badly burned two years ago. At that time the girl was helping her mother in the kitchen when her clothing became ignited from the flames of the range which suddenly blazed up. Before the blazing clothes could be torn from her body, she had been seriously burned.

Since that time, Mrs. Stoddard said the girl had been acting strangely and a close watch was kept over her. Last night she disappeared. An investigation disclosed that she had told one of her girlfriends she was going to New York. According to the second girl, Bernice had said she was going in search of another girl who lived in New York & intended to walk about the streets until she could find her.

Mrs. Stoddard immediately notified the police & word was sent to the Utica police to look out for the young girl. She was intercepted in Utica on the NY Central Train No. 28, late last night & brought back to this city.

Mrs. Wavle told the court of Miller's wooing in early September 1924. Her former fiance posed as a wealthy Buffalo Hotel Man, she said, when they were introduced by mutual friends.

They decided to marry, Mrs. Wavle said, and she sold her furniture for $155 preliminary to their moving to Buffalo. The day she got the check, the couple went on a shopping tour and first bought a trausseau for Mrs. Wavle. Finishing her shopping, Mrs. Wavle said she told Miller she was afraid of losing the $115 left & he suggested taking care of it for her.

They then bought an outfit for Miller, according to the woman's testimony, following which they went to City Hall to obtain a Marriage License. The City Clerk's Office was closed however, and Miller took Mrs. Wavle to her mother's home on Pine Street, after which Miller disappeared, she said, neglecting to return her money to her.
