G 101 Ohio Inf. Enlisted: age 33 Erie Co., Ohio Aug 7, 1862 3 yrs. Disch Oct 26, 1863 at Chattanooga, Tenn on Surg. Certf Disability "W.H. Van Ness, a pioneer settler of Hamilton Co was a native of Ohio & from that state he enl in the war. He served in the army of the Cumberland & was for a time attached to the staff of the army in the field and thus was given opportunity to meet & sometimes to measure, some of the noted men of that day. After the war he located in Tipton, Cedar Co, Ia & resided there until 1882 when he came to Hamilton Co. After the death of his wife in 1895 he went to Oklahoma & remained there until his death. Mr. Van Ness was a man of great intellectual attainments and in all the varied activities of a career, he never lost his desire for knowledge & hence his mind was always young. A rare collection of Indian wearing apparel, beads, etc. was given to Kendall Young Library. This collection was made by Mr. Van Ness in the early days & some of the articles date back to very early Indian times." |

Grant. He was under Gen. Grant's Command until after the fall of Vicksburg and then was with Sherman's Army. He came to Iowa in 1870 & has since been a resident of Williams vicinity. Needless to say he is a very popular personally, his radiant personality enabling him to win & return the confidence of those with whom he comes in contact." |
