WHEN MY SON ENLISTED, AND STARTED AWAY, ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS REMARKED "THAT WOULD BE THE LAST TME I WOULD EVER SEE MY BOY" I ANSWERED THAT IF HE SHOULD FALL, I WOULD GO AND TAKE HIS PLACE. WHEN I HEARD OF HIS DEATH, I IMMEDIATELY MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO GO AND FILL HIS PLACE. WHEN I WAS EXAMINED AT PEORIA, ILLINOIS. THE SURGEON REJECTED ME, BUT THE TWO OFFICERS I WAS WITH TOLD ME TO GO ON TO THE REGIMENT ANY HOW, AND THEY WOULD GET ME INTO THE SERVICE. I HAVE FORGOTTEN THE NAMES OF THE OFFICERS. THE MONEY I RECEIVED FROM THE GOVERNMENT FOR MY SERVICES, TOGETHER WITH WHAT I DREW ON THE ACCOUNT WITH MY SONS SERVICE, ENABLES ME TO LIVE WITH OUT WORK UNTIL THE LATTER PART OF 1866. WHILE IN DOUGLAS COUNTY KANSAS, I WAS ON CRUTCHES MOST OF THE TIME.AND MY BROTHER-IN-LAW, SAMUEL MCWHIRT, FURNISHED ME LAND AND THE MEANS TO EMPLOY A MAN TO WORK THE LAND FOR ME, AND GAVE ME $150.00 FOR THE CROPS, WHICH WAS ABOUT SEVEN ACRES OF CORN AND TWO THIRDS OF WHICH WAS MY SHARE.

MY WIFE HELPED OUT TO DO THE WORK AND I HAD TO HIRE SOME OF THE WORK DONE, AND ONE DAY WHILE TRYING TO CLEAN A WINDOW IN THE SECOND STORY, FELL OUT AND BROKE MY HIP, AFTER THIS WHEN ABLE, I DROVE A MILK WAGON AT $15.00 DOLLARS PER MONTH AND BURDENDED MYSELF. FROM PARSONS, KANSAS, I MOVED TO EUREKA SPRINGS, ARKANSAS., WHERE I HAVE SINCE RESIDED, WORKING AT ODDS AND ENDS, AND MY INCOME HAS NOT AVERAGED TWO DOLLARS PER WEEK. I HAD NOT PAID ANY TAXES FOR ABOUT EIGHT YEAARS BEFORE THE DEATH OF MY SON. WHILE IN PARSONS, KANSAS., I PAID TAXES ABOUT SIX YEARS ON A SMALL PROPERTY THAT WAS ASSESSED AT $125.00. I HAVE PAID TAXES IN EUREKA SPRINGS, ARKANSAS FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS; AMOUNTING TO $150.00 PER YEAR: ONE DOLLAR WHICH IS A POLL TAX : THE .50 BEING ON MY LITTLE PERSONAL PROPERTY - ASSESSED AT $35.00. DURING ALL OF THESE YEARS, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO PERFORM MANUAL LABOR, THAT REQUIRES ME TO BE ON MY FEET; AND SINCE MY SECOND MARRIAGE, MY WIFE HAS HELPED TO SUPPORT THE FAMILY BY WASHING, WHEN SHE WAS ABLE TO, AND IT COULD BE FOUND. AT OTHER TIMES FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO OUR SUPPORT. YOSF JCUR (In his own handwriting) JOSEPH CARLOCK
