| 1526 | Former Rankin Man Killed at Bloomington Accident Occurs at Bloomington G. Griffith Injured Rankin, Jan. 1 – One former resident of Rankin was instantly killed, and another badly scaled in a Nickel Plate train accident at Bloomington early Thursday. The dead man is Claude Boyce, about 45, a fireman now at Frankfort, Ind. Injured is George Griffith, Lafayette, Ind., engineer. Griffith was rushed to Brokaw hospital, Bloomington. A string of freight cars rolled down the track and struck the locomotive Boyce was firing. It was switching a freight car at the time. Boyce was killed instantly and Engineer Griffith was badly scalded before he could free himself by unstrapping his wooden leg, which had become pinned in debris of the crushed locomotive cab. The Boyce family lived here until after the death of Mrs. Boyce about five years ago when they moved to Cissna Park. Last fall they moved from Cissna Park to Frankfort. Mr. Boyce is survived by three children, Wilbur, Bernice and Robbie, all of Frankfort, three sisters and five brothers. A McLean county coroner’s jury held defective brakes on an uncoupled string of 33 cars, which started rolling, responsible for the collision which nipped the cab off of a Nickel Plate freight locomotive and ran over the fireman after throwing him out. The fireman’s death was declared accidental by the jury. All by one car of the train had been left on the Nickel Plate tracks east of the crossing while the engine proceeded west to the Alton interchange line to set out a car. Unnoticed in the darkness of early morning, the unattached train began to creep slowly west, on a very slight downgrade. The engine, meanwhile, had reached the switch and backed halfway into the curve with the one car. The left side of the engine cab was directly in line with the runaway cars which struck with a crash, rebounded and struck again. Four of the head cars were derailed and the track was torn up for several rods. Headbrakeman August C. Carlson testified at the inquest that he closed the angle cocks on the airbrake line before uncoupling the air hose, and Engineer Griffith told the jury from his hospital bed that he “set the air” from the locomotive before uncoupling. This procedure, he indicated, was supposed to set the brakes tight on every car on the train so that it could be left in safety. The body of Fireman Boyce was returned to his former home in Cissna Park, Ill, Friday afternoon. Funeral services were held there this afternoon. Accompanying the body was his son, Wilbur Boyce, who went to Bloomington a few hours after the wreck. Albert Steiner, of Paxton, a member of the Daily Record force, is a brother-in-law of Mr. Boyce. Mr. and Mrs. Steiner attended the funeral in Cissna Park on Saturday. The Paxton Record, Paxton, Illinois. Thursday, 7 January 1937. | Boyce, Claude Andrew (I4605)

| 1542 | Fourth Kentucky Volunteer Infantry, Company C. Rank: private. Enrolled 27 August 1861. Mustered in 9 October 1861, Camp Dick Robinson, Kentucky. Enlisted for a period of 3 years. Discharged 8 March 1863, Gallatin, Tennessee. We have a copy of William R. Hedges Soldier's Certificate No.690641 file. In his general affidavit, he writes that in Dec 1861 I received an injury to my left side by being kicked by a mule, while helping to break mules at Crab Orchard Ky the mules back joint struck me three or four times on the lower ribs of the left side causing a rupture of the left kidney so that I urinated blood for six weeks and about the 10th of April 1862 while still suffering from the effects of said injury I was poisoned by eating cheese purchased from the suttler of the region and my whole left side seemed to be affected by said poison and my belief is that my left side being was when I was poisoned the effects of the poison naturally settled in that side and the poison aggravated the results from the injury. An any rate I have continued to suffer from that time to the present with pain in the left side of my head and face like neuralgia and with pain in my left side and hip and spine like rheumatism. The Union Army, v.IV. Published by the Federal Publishing Co, 1908, pp318-320. "This regiment was one of the three which President Lincoln authorized Lieut. William Nelson of the navy, a native of Mason county, Ky., to raise in Kentucky in the early summer of 1861. The day after the August election, Col. Fry with a detachment from Danville, the nucleus of what became Co. A, opened Camp Dick Robinson and three other regiments began to pour in and with a few weeks enough men to fill the four regiments had assembled. The first active service performed by any portion of the regiment was when a detachment of several companies, with a similar detachment from the 3d, was sent to Nicholasville to escort a wagon train loaded with muskets and ammunition from Nicholasville to the camp. In the latter part of October the regiment moved to Crab Orchard and became a part of the 2nd brigade, 1st division, Army of the Ohio. Its first participation in actual hostilities was at the battle of Mill Springs, Ky., in which action the regiment lost 1 officer (Lieut. J. M. Hall, Co.B) and 8 men killed and 52 wounded, which was a pretty heavy percentage in a regiment depleted by sickness and detachments to less than 400 for duty. From Mill Springs the regiment marched by Coffey's mill, Danville, Lebanon, and Bardstown to Louisville and there embarked on boats for Nashville, where it arrived March 4, 1862. It took part in the advance on Corinth, frequently skirmishing and sometimes sustaining loss. After the evacuation of Corinth it pursued the enemy as far as Booneville, Miss. and then returned to Corinth marched via Iuka to Tuscumbia. After a stay of some weeks at the latter place, it moved with the command on July 24, via Florence, Lawrenceburg, Pulaski, Fayetteville, Lynchburg and Winchester to Decherd. Leaving the latter place for Nashville, it marched from there with Buell's army to Louisville. After the battle of Perryville, where the regiment was present though not engaged, it moved with the command via Danville to Crab Orchard, whence via Greensburg and Glasgow to Gallatin, Tenn., Then to Casalian Springs, half way between Gallatin and Hartsville, and there to Elizabethtown. It was joined at Munfordville by the 12th Ky. Cavalry and 13th Ky. Infantry and had a fight with Morgan's rear at Rolling fork; moved thence to Lebanon Junction and thence to Nashville. The Regiment took part in the Tullahoma campaign and was in action at Hoover's gap, Concord church and near Tullahoma, but with slight loss. It went into action at the battle of Chichamauga with 19 officers and 360 men and lost 13 officers wounded, and 160 enlisted men killed and wounded."
