Horrall, Spillard F. - 42nd Indiana Volunteer Infantry Company G
I quote from his book. "The above mentioned - the author of this book - was born May 22, 1829, in Veale township, Daviess County, Indiana. He was married, January 27, 1853, to Jane Crabbs, and to that union seven children were born, five sons and two daughters. His early life was passed an a farm, in agricultural pursuits, and during that time he had the advantage of the country schools as they were at that day. In the '50's he became a student at the Asbury University, Greencastle, Indiana, where he too a belles-lettres or scientific course of study, including the languages, and afterwards for several years was employed as ateacher in schools, the most important of which was in the capacity of principal of an academy at Benton, ILL. home of Gen. John A. Logan then. His parents and grandparents were by birth South Carolinians, but were of the earliest settlers in Daviess County, Indiana. His grandfather, William Horrall, was a Revolutionary soldier, and his father, Thomas Horrall, a soldier of the War of 1812. The subject of these remarks drifted into journalism in 1857, in Washington,Ind., continuing the profession of editor until 1861, when in October of that year he entered the United States service as Second Lieutenant of Company G,42nd Indiana, and in due course of changes was promoted to be captain of thatcompany, holding such commission when, on September 16, 1864, by reason of disabilities from service, and severe sickness, he retired from active field service, but was employed, upon partial recovery, in the office of theProvost-Marshal-General, at Indianapolis, until very near the close of the war. Since the war he has chiefly been engaged in his chosen profession as a journalist; and now resides in Washington, Indiana. Nearly two years of his military life was employed as a staff officer - inspector - on the staff of Brigadier-General John Beatty, now of Columbus, Ohio. In journalism, after the was, this gentleman, as local reporter of the "Daily Journal, Evansville, Indiana, was one of the editorial and reportorial staff of Col. Jno. W. Foster, now secretary of State. He has ever indulged a feeling of justifiable pride that his former chief in journalism has won such honor and distinction in diplomatic relation; as well as the fact that his military trainer, Col. chas. Denby, U.S. Minister, Peking, China - likewise from Evansville, Indiana - has also won distinction as a successful diplomat. It is not often any city is so honored by two of its citizens - or a State, as to that matter."

Jackson, William - Company G, 42nd Indiana
Born August 24, 1845, Hudsonville, Indiana, the son of Ulysses E. Jackson and Mary J. Kelso Jackson. He volunteered at age 16 to become a part of Company G, 42nd Indiana, under the command of Captain Eli McCarty. The company was formed on September 28, 1861 of 118 volunteers from Daviess County, Indiana. The company was mustered in at Camp Vanderburgh near Evansville, Indiana on October 9, 1861. William Jackson and The 42nd Indiana patrolled throughout Kentucky as far south as Nashville, Tennessee. They were attacked by Southern sympathizers in Henderson, Kentucky and again in Calhoun, Kentucky but did not engage in a major battle until October 8, 1862. At 3:30 that afternoon, the 42nd Indiana, along with other regiments under the command of General Crittenden ran into the Rebels at the bottom of Chaplin Hill near Perryville, Kentucky. The regiments broke into companies and formed at the top of the hill and engaged the Rebels. The fighting was fierce and there were many casualties. The 42nd Indiana was engaged with the "Louisiana Tigers." At sundown, Company G, the Daviess County unit was steadfastly holding their position behind a fence on the side of the hill. William Jackson was off to one side with one of his comrades. The Southerners were approaching from their right flank and Company G was ordered to withdraw. However, William Jackson and his friend were unaware of the order and held their position. When they learned of the order to retreat, the two soldiers arose from their position to withdraw, but it was too late. The Rebels were upon them. William's comrade made his escape, but William was hit in both legs and brought down. The Rebels advanced over the position and found William lying wounded. William thought they were going to do him in. But, they asked him if there was anything that they could do for him. He said "No!" The Rebels persisted and William said that he would like to have a blanket to put under his head. The Southerners rolled up a blanket and placed it under his head and then continued the battle. The fighting continued throughout the night. By morning, the Rebels pulled out and the Yanks moved back over the hill and collected their wounded. William Jackson ended up in the hospital in Cincinnati where he remained until March 4, 1863. He was declared 50% disabled and was discharged at Camp Dennison, Cincinnati, Ohio.
