GARFIELD POST No. 18, G. A. R.
DEPT. OF MARYLAND
March 10,1908.
On the27th inst. there passed from us one of
our beros of the war of the Rebellion.
Men, women and children have passed him on
the street and noticed perhaps a quiet unas.
suming man, intent upon his business, and have
gone their way without a second look or thought,—
yet they passed one ot the noble men ol our Re
pub Ic.
Comrade John J. Wigton was born in Doyls
town. Bucks county, Pa., Feb. 6, 1845.
When the war ot tbe Hellion broke out in 1861
comrade Wigton was about sixteen old.
Immediately on tbe call of President Lincoln
for troops Capt. Davis, of Doylstown, who com
manded a military Co, called bis Co together
and annonneed his readiness to go to the defense
ot his Country and flag and asked those ready
and willing to go to step forward—about one-half
of the Co marched to the front. Then he asked
for enough men to fill up his Co. Comrade Wig
ton was one of the first to respond and entered
his name upon the roll, but on account of his
youth and the objections of his mother, Captain
Davis would not permit him to go.
Comrade Wigton then looked about him for
something to do and hired on a farm. In May
he bad saved sufficient funds, which be sent to
Philadelphia for three volumes of army tactics
which he studied with such industry that in a
very short time he was able to muster a Company
of boys, and by August first had one of the best
drilled Companies that ever left the State.
After tbe three mouths service was at an end
Capt. Davis returned to Doylstown and was short
ly commissioned Colonel oi tbe 101 th Regiment
Infimtry.
Immediately on opening his books lor recruits
Comrade Wigton was among tbe first to respond,
his being tbe eighth name on tbe roll.
Colonel Davis recognizing the energy of the
young man made him eighth Corporal of “A"
Company of bis regiment.
Many of the officers of the regiment were with
out military training aud Com rade Wigton drilled
them in their duties tor about *wo months while
ip camp.
After tbe regiment bad assumed its place at tbe
front at the battle of Fair Oaks the Confederates
raised a white flag which is regarded always as a
call for truce.
Comrade Wigton's Company "A” was directed
to march to a convenient point and bear what
was to be said in reference to the summons, when
contrary to military law and usages the Con
federates opened on the Company a merderous
fire, fortunately for Comrade Wigton he carried
ip bis pocket a combination camp requisit con
sisting of a knile, fork and spoon. A ball Btruck
the spoon, glanced off and cut a gash about tour
inches long and the depth of the ball along the
top of his hip. Tbe wound took him to a hospital
*n New York, from which he was furloughed to
his home until well again.
It was while his regiment was on duty on the
coast of North Carolina that Comrade Wigton
showed tbe great soldier spirit and love for bis
fellow. At night fall details were made to re
lieve the out posts, to reach these posts tbe trip
bad to be made by row boat, which was under
fire much of tbe time after embireatlon.
One evening a detail had been made, when one
of the men selected who had been writing home
to his wile and family, became so panic stricken
that he declared be could not go and begged to
be excused, as be was sure he would be shot.
Comrade Wigtop seeing the man's pitiful condi
tion Stepped up to the Captain and saluting, said:
“Captain, send me, I’ll go in bis stead.”
For this sacrifice he wore upon his breast a
medal which nodoubt biscbildren will prize long
after his ashes have returned to mother earth.
He continued in the service until his term of
enlistment expired he then re-enlisted, serving as
commander of his Company until the close of the
war in 1865. when be was honorably discharged.
Peace to his ashes.

Senator Whyte Dead.
United States Senator William
Pinkney Whyte died at 7 05 P. M.
Tuesday, at his home, 9 East Chase
street, Baltimore, following a sud
den sinking spell. Erysipelas,
which had confined him to his bed
since Saturday, was the direct cause
of his death'.
Uuder the constitution Senator
Whyte’s successor must be elected
by the - Legislature, the appointive
power of the Governor being only
effective when the Legislature is
not in session. The consensus of
opinion seems to be that SeDator
elect John Walter Smith will be
elected to serve out Senator Whyte’s
nnexpired term. On the expiration
of Senator Whyte’s term Senator
elect Smith’s six year term begins
March 4, 1909.
Senator Whyte, who was af
fectionately referred to and ad
dressed as “Governor” by nearly
every one who knew him, has been
in public life since 1848. He was
born in Baltimore August 9, 1824.
