244. George Henry Wollam (Alfred Wollam , Jacob Andrew Wollam , Mary Magdelene Weaver , Christopher ) was born on 9 Jan 1863 in , Columbiana, Oh.

This record was written by George Henry Wollam and copied by his grandson. Theodore B. Wollam. .It was not completed. Contributed by Ida Woolam, 2693 S.E. 5th Street, West Linn, Oregon. (Ida is now deceased) Taken from Periodical "Union Echoes" Vol. 6, #5, Sep. 1986 Issue and received from the Allen County Library, Fort Wayne, IN..
I was born on January 9,1863 in a place then called Fredericktown, in Columbiana County, Ohio. About 30 yards east of the house in which I first saw the light of day, very close to the bank of a roaring little stream, stood my father's cooper shop. This shop was deeply entwined in the childhood memories of my older brothers and sister.
My father was Alfred Wollam, born on January 8,1818, being 45 years and a day older than I. He was born near this same town, Fredericktown, about a half mile north and half mile east. His father Jacob Wollam was 26 years old at the time of my father's birth, or in the year 1792 being the year of his birth and the place was Old Virginia, a few miles to the south and west of Martinsburg, now in W. Virginia, on a slow moving little stream still known as Sleepy Creek. This Jacob Wollam was my grandfather. At the age of 12 years he moved with his father Baltzar Wollam from Martinsburg to Columbiana county, Ohio.
They moved by ox team and hand made wagons across a narrow arm of Maryland till they came to the Monongahela River. Here they stopped and built a crude raft, loaded all their things, such as oxen, cows,, dough troughs, ox yokes, hoes, wooden pitch forks, home woven linen clothing, guns, axes, boats, cow chains, harrow teeth, chickens, buckskin coats. A cabin was on this raft, in fact all they had. There were other families on this raft besides Baltzer and his boy Jacob. One man named Spahr (See Spahr Genealogy) with a little daughter 8 years old. This child, Elizabeth Spahr, afterwards became the wife of little Jacob and became my grandmother. Baltzer Wollam had sons Ben, John, William, Henry. Joe and Jacob. Baltzer was born in 1742 near Martinsburg and spent most of his active life there, as the records testify to his land transactions.

George married Susan Delaney on 10 Mar 1884. Susan died on 14 Jul 1913.

AMERICUS CARNSAmericus Carns, second child of John and Alvina Miller Carns, was born near Mt. Sterling, Iowa, September 9, 1848, and passed away at his home in Cantril, September 25, 1926, aged 78 years and 16 days.On May 3, 1864, he enlisted in the Union army, becoming a member of Company K, 45th Regiment of Iowa Infantry Volunteers, this Regiment being a part of the army of the Tennessee. In speaking of the great Army of the Tennessee, General U. S. Grant once said: "As an army the army of the Tennessee never sustained a single defeat during the four years of war; every fortification which it assailed surrendered; every force arrayed against it was either destroyed, captured or defeated. No officer was ever assigned to the command of that army who had afterward to be relieved from it, or to be reduced to another command. Such is history, not accident." Mr. Carns was honorably discharged in October 1864.On February 12, 1867, he was united in marriage with Viola J. Wollam. To this happy union one daughter, Dora, was born. Their first home was on a farm about six miles east of Cantril where they resided until 1902 at which time they moved to Cantril.Shrewd, honest and industrious, Mr. Carns was remarkably successful as a farmer and business man. For several years he has been a director of the Cantril Savings Bank, also a leader in many other worthy enterprises.He was a faithful member of the Grand Army of the Republic and for twenty-four successive years, Decoration Day has found him at the graveside of his comrades, of all wars, there to help decorate the last resting places of the men, who like himself, had fought for their beloved country. His comrades who are left behind will not soon forget this loyalty and faithfulness.He was a kind father and loyal and loving husband. As a neighbor and friend he was pure gold. His untimely death has cast a gloom over the entire community.He leaves to mourn his departure, his loving companion, Mrs. Viola Carns of Cantril, one daughter, Mrs. Dora Fowler of Keosauqua; five nieces, Mrs. Alvina Hauk of Des Moines; Mrs. Rucks of Warren, Arkansas; Mrs. Lear of Nevada; Mrs. Dora Waston of Mt. Sterling, and Bee Davis of Rock Island, Ill. Six nephews, George A. Carns of Winthrope, Minn., Hop, Grove and William Carns of DeWitt, Ark., and James Scotten of Mt. Sterling.

Smith. Seven noble old veterans of the Civil War also conducted the funeral rites of the G. A. R.The following veterans of the Civil War and World War were present and acted as an escort: Civil War veterans, Fowler, Harriman, Burkett, Fosnot, Deford, Johnson, Armstrong and Mallot.
