Today, Joy shares with us a Civil War story about a family member entitled Hilled on Independence Day.
Take it away, Joy. James Redfield of Wiscotta, Iowa served only one term in the Iowa Senate. After the call for volunteers came from the White House, James Redfield became Lieutenant Colonel of Company H, 39th Iowa Infantry Regiment. During the Civil War, I've read that only single men were accepted as volunteers. But Redfield was a family man, as were others in his unit.
Iowa still wasn't a state when he graduated from Yale in 1845. Redfield raised a company of soldiers. most of whom were from Indiana. ex-hosiers like himself. When they marched for the South later that year, there were at least three marshal men along.
the brothers Colin and Miles Z., and a nephew, Clayton. All ex-Hoosiers. Old Miles Marshall of Economy Indiana was always an abolitionist. He and a great many others had hoped that the Whig party would abolish slavery. Two of his sons, Colin, and Miles C., better known as Bob, served in the war between the states.
as well as three grandsons, Clayton? and two more in Indiana regiments. Several of Miles Marshall's children had already moved to Dallas County, Iowa. including one who platted the town of Dexter, and another who discovered and developed a mineral spring. which eventually became the popular Dexfield amusement park.
Colin and Bob were the youngest brothers. According to C.E. Charles, an Indiana historian who was fascinated by the great number of Wayne County, Indiana families who relocated to Dallas County, Iowa. The Marshall Brothers and their nephews, were young farmers whose families would suffer from their absence. Colin owned a farm west of what is now Dexter.
struggling to get started in cattle feeding. He nevertheless talked over the war situation with his wife Sally and decided to enlist. A few months later she wrote I thought I never could bear for Call to go in the war. but he thought it was his duty. After training, the 39th was sent to eastern Iowa.

and started home two days later, accompanied by his younger brother, Bob. I'm sorry. Ten days later, Bob arrived in Redfield without the coffin of his 37-year-old brother. He got as far as Eddieville, Iowa. 80 miles from home.
but there was no freight service from there. Apparently, according to Mr. Charles, steamers couldn't navigate the Des Moines River. North of that point, in July. Bob had his brother buried there temporarily.
then came on alone. Their older brother, Pete Marshall, drove a team of horses and a wagon to Eddieville. Returning home seven days later, with Colin's casket. He was buried in Masonic style. on a hill at Wiscott.
A military burial might have been more fitting. but there were not enough soldiers left around Redfield to accomplish that. Two of old Miles Marshall's grandsons, Swain and Alonzo, also served. with Indiana units. Alonso was wounded by a mini ball.
but finished the war working in a military hospital. Swain also survived the war. Part of the Victory Parade in Washington, D.C. Their sister Rhoda Marshall had married a Tennessee man. When the war broke out, John Neal joined a Tennessee Confederate cavalry unit.
