WILLIAM CANTWELL
(deceased), was born in August, 1786, in Brooke Co., Va. He
married Ann Williams, and afterward removed to Jefferson Co.,
Ohio, where they remained until 1820, when they removed to
Richland Co. and settled on a farm two miles from Mansfield, on
the Spring Mill road, where they resided almost continuously up
to the time of the death of the wife of Mr. Cantwell, which
occurred in January, 1850; he survived his companion, with whom
he had lived over fifty years, but died in 1857. William and
Anne Cantwell will be remembered by the pioneers, who still
survive, very favorably and kindly, and Mrs. Cantwell will be
remembered as one of extraordinary intellectual acquirements for
one in the period of pioneer life in which she lived; they
raised a family of Twelve children, eleven of whom grew up to be
men and women. Thomas, the oldest, located on a farm hear Olivesburg, in Richland Co., about 1820, and remained there till
his death in 1868; William was accidentally killed by the fall
of a tree; Martha married Jacob George; Margaret married
David Jacques; Rachel married William
Williams; Elizabeth married John Cary;
Jane married John Scott; Col. James married
Sarah S. Ferguson; Nancy married Samuel
H. Davis; John F. married
Matilda Casebeer, and J. Y. married Mrs. J. C. Curtis; they
were all at one time residents, of Richland Co. Only three of
the family survive- Margaret Jacques, Jane
Scott and J. Y. Cantwell. James Cantwell was born in December, 1810, and hence
was 10 years old when be came with his father to Richland Co.;
in 1845, he responded to the call of the Government and
volunteered in the military service for one year during the
Mexican war; he was elected and served as First Lieutenant of
the company of which McLaughlin was Captain: after the war, he
represented Richland Co. two terms in the Ohio Legislature, and
the district of which Richland forms a part, one term in the
Ohio Senate. In 1859, he removed to Kenton, Hardin Co., and at
the breaking-out of the rebellion, he raised a company the
second day after Fort Sunder was fired upon, and went to
Columbus, April 16, 1861, when his company was assigned to the
4th O. V. I., and he was elected Lieutenant Colonel of the
regiment, Louis Andrews being Colonel. In October following, he
was tendered a commission as Colonel of the 82d O. V. I., which
he accepted, and recruited and organized in less time than any
other three-years regiment was organized. In January,
1862, the regiment was ordered to West Virginia, and from the
first was one of the most active regiments in the field it took
part with Schenck and Milroy at the battle of Bull Pasture
Mountain in May, 1862; then marched with Fremont and Seigel
across the Shenandoah Mountains and took part in the memorable
campaign of Jackson and Banks in Shenandoah Valley; was at the
battle of Cross Keys; then marched over the Blue Ridge and
joined the Army of the Potomac; was at the battle of Cedar
Mountain it was one of four regiments connected with Milroy's
brigade, the advance guard of Pope's army in its march toward
the enemy, and the rear guard on its retreat, and hence for ten
successive days prior to the second battle of Bull Run the
regiment was continually under fire; it was engaged actively and
in the foremost of the second Bull Run battle on the 30th of
August, 1862, and while gallantly leading his regiment on a
charge, Col. Cantwell was instantly killed, the ball passing in
just below the left eye and out at the buck part of the head.
Thus fell one of the bravest of men, beloved by all the
soldiers, and leaving many friends behind him; but he died as a
true soldier would choose to die, upon the field of battle and
his widow and family, who reside still in Kenton, Ohio,
appreciate the sentiment inscribed by an officer upon the board
that marked his temporary grave upon the battlefield "How
sleep the brave who sink to rest By all their country's wishes
blest."
His family and friends revere his memory as a true and
faithful husband and father noble man and soldier, and a firm
friend J. T. Cantwell was born in December, 1824, within two
miles of Mansfield; he grew up to manhood in this locality;
read medicine with J. W. Chandler, in Mansfield; graduated in
the spring of 1847, and practiced medicine in his native town
successfully until the breaking-out of the rebellion, and
entered the service of the Medical Department on the 15th of
April, 1861; was first connected with the 4th O. V. I., but was
afterward appointed Surgeon of the 82 O. V. I., Col. Cantwell's
regiment, and was in active duty in the field till December,
1863, filling the position of Brigade, Division and Corps
Surgeon, as official orders will show; he participated in more
than twenty battles, in all of which he occupied the position of
Operating Surgeon in January, 1864, he was commissioned by
President Lincoln Surgeon of the U. S. Volunteers, and assigned
to duty by the Surgeon General as Inspector of Hospitals, with
Washington as headquarters; in this capacity, he visited all the
principal cities, inspecting hospitals, discharging, etc.;
returning to duty, be was transferred to the Veteran Reserve
Corps, where he remained till April, 1865, when he was assigned
to duty at Columbus, Ohio, as Superintendent of Hospitals, where
be remained till the Government property was disposed of and the
hospitals closed in October following, when he was mustered out
of service, but, by recommendation of the Surgeon General of the
U. S. Army, for meritorious services, he was breveted Lieutenant
Colonel, and he now holds a commission, signed by Andrew Johnson
and Edwin M. Stanton, conferring upon him that rank. After the
war, he went to Alabama and engaged in the planting interests as
well as his profession, but has now returned to his native city,
where he expects to spend the greater portion of his time during
the balance of his life.

WILLIAM CRALL, was born in Ireland about the year
1794, the enact date not known; he emigrated with his parents
to this country, and settled in Washington Co., Penn.; his
father died shortly after coming to the country, and be being at
that time but 12 years of age, and the eldest of the family, the
support of the family mainly devolved upon him; he learned the
carpenter trade with a Mr. Enos, who afterward removed from
Pennsylvania to Richland Co., and settled in Mifflin Township;
during the war of 1812, William enlisted in a Pennsylvania
regiment, and, with his command, marched to the West, against
the Indiana and British; when the command arrived on its march
at Cadiz, Harrison Co., they received the news that peace was
declared. and the war was at an end. The command was shortly
afterward disbanded, and William with other discharged soldiers
came to Mansfield, which at that time was nothing more than a
wilderness; remaining here a short time, he went back to his
home in Pennsylvania, and afterward returned here with his old
employer, with whom he worked at the carpenter trade. The first
house in this city furnished with a shingled roof and "plowed
and grooved" floor, was erected by him at the southeast corner
of Fourth and East Diamond streets, on the lot now owned by Minor

political affairs of the country, and for a woman was remarkably
well posted in political matters. She was fond of reading
political speeches, and when able, often attended political

official position, that of Constable, which office be held at
the time of his death, which occurred in July, 1863. James S. Crall enlisted in the 82d O. V. I. during the war of the
rebellion, and was appointed a Second Lieutenant to recruit a
company for that regiment; upon the organization of the
regiment, he was elected Captain of the company; upon the death
