(*)Jacob Senneff enlisted in Company D, Thirty-fourth Illinois Infantry, that was organized in September, 1861, Col., Kirk and Capt. Pratt being bis commanders, both of whom are dead.
The regiment was attached to the Army of the Cumberland, and in the dreadful years that followed saw a great deal of hard service, in all of which our subject gallantly and uncomplainingly bore his part. He was with his comrades at Shiloh, and marched with Gen. Sherman from Atlanta to the sea, doing his share of the fighting in the numerous encouuters with the enemy. Occasionally privations and sufferings that he had to undergo proved too much for him, and he would have to lie in the hoopital for a time, but it was not until Sherman's last engagement with the Confederates at Bentonville, N. C., March 19, 1865, that he was wounded, that battle being almost fatal to him, for while in the, thickest of the fight his right arm was shot off, the left arm was broken and the hand disabled. This ended his career as a soldier, but as the war was so near its close he was well content, as he had done his duty nobly. He was honorably discharged in July, 1865. A grateful Government grants him a pension of $72 a month for what he did and endured in it's behalf.
