Benjamin Dornblaser, Forty-sixth Illinois Infantry, commanding brigade HEADQUARTERS FIRST BRIGADE, YAZOO EXPEDITION, Vicksburg, Miss., May 22, 1864. "The only casualty I have to report in my command is that of Sergeant[Lansing] Eells, Company D, Forty-sixth Illinois Infantry, who was killed on the morning of the 14th, while acting as a scout, for which he was well suited, and in which capacity he had rendered much valuable service. Although the march was a long one, and rendered wearisome by the heat and dust, but very few complaints were heard, and whenever a fight was expected every man was found in his place ready and eager for the fray. The officers of this command, including my personal staff, are entitled to great praise for the able and prompt discharge of every duty devolving upon them. I have the honor to be, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, Colonial B. DORNBLASER, Commanding Brigade JARWELL, Lalon Joseph - Civil Letters from Vicksburg KAMRAR, Abram W.

Obituary Contributed by Karen Fyock - From the Pension papers of Henry Luttig: YORDY, John Sgt. Co B 26th IL Inf. Photo contributed by John Lancaster by Sharon Olsen. Born Lancaster County, Pennsylvania April 1, 1840. He died April 14, 1901 in Freeport Illinois. Son of Christian Yordy Senior & Susan Sowder Married to Elizabeth Wareham YOUNG, William Born 9 February 1820 in Lebanan Co PA. Son of Robert & Sarah (Wallace) Young. He enlisted in Co. G. 46th IL Vol. Inf. and was active in encouraging others to follow his example. At the organization of the company he was unanimously chosen its Captain and marched at the head to the scene of conflict. They had received their equipments at Springfield, whence hey proceeded by rail to Cairo, and were present in the first engagement at Ft. Donelson, in February 1862. The 46th Regiment was the first to enter the town after its surrender. After this had been effected they marched into Shiloh and were engaged in the thickest of the fight, during which Co G distinguised itself, and had reason to be proud of its Captain. Many were carried lifeless from the field and others received grievous wounds. Capt. Young was struck in the jaw by a minie ball, which carried away all his teeth. His courage was equal to the emergency, but he was obliged to succumb and was sent home when able to be removed. There he remained until his partial recovery, and when strong enough determined to rejoin his comrades on the field. His wound, however, prevented his partaking of soldiers fare, and he was obliged to resign his commission and return sorrowfully to his Northern home. He had, however, in the meantime met the enemy again, being in the battle of Hatchie, where the Colonel of the regiment was fatally wounded. Capt. Young remaining at his side until he expired. At the close of his army life our subject returned to Lancaster Twp.
