• Notes

  INGRAHAM, CLAY CO, IL PVT CO. F 46 IL U.S. INF JOINED: SEP 29, 1863 ST LOUIS, MO MUSTER IN: SEP 29, 1863 ST. LOUIS, MO TRANS TO VET RES CORPS MAR 26, 1864 Dorman Ingraham was born in Edwards Co., Ill., Feb. 19, 1826, was married to Eveline Newman, and to them were born ten children. He with his father moved to Laclede Co., Mo., in 1859, and one time when on their way to Lebanon for supplies, were taken captive by the Confederates. They found nothing against Dorman and let him go. His father was kept a few days longer, and upon him promising to leave the state, he, too, was released. The two families returned to Ingraham, Ill., where the subject of this sketch died Sept. 17, 1880. After his return to Illinois, he enlisted in Co. F, 46th Regt. Ill. Vol., Sept. 29, 1863, and was transferred to the "Veteran Reserve Corps" Mar. 26, 1864; did service at Washington, D. C., and other points and was present at President Lincoln's second inaugural. He was an industrious farmer and excellent as a corn raiser, had a large family to care for, yet he did a great amount of reading, and possessing as he did a very retentive memory enabled him to speak entertainingly of the great men and events of the world's history. After the war he lived on Brooks Prairie and while here he interested his neighbors in religious matters, organized a Sabbath school and church in a school house and kept things going until he moved back to Ingraham. He took up his vacated eldership and continued to serve the congregation in that capacity until he was called hence. He was buried at Ingraham, and his wife, after 32 years of widowhood, was laid by his side Oct. 12, 1912. As I remember, his sermons were short, to the point and instructive, and as to offenses he never gave them, neither did he allow himself to take them from others.
