Camp 43rd Regt Ills Inf. Vols. Little Rock, Ark. Oct. 6th 64 Governor: The undersigned Officers of this 43rd Regt Ills. Vols. most respectfully beg leave to represent to Your Excellency the following facts ,with the request that Your Excellency would take immediate steps, to secure us the ends which we wish to attain. According to the rules & regulations of the Muster-out of troops, the Hon. Veterans of our regiment would have to be mustered out by companies separately and successively as they were mustered in, in August and September 1861. Those of companies "A", "B", & "C" have accordingly been mustered out. The Mustering officer here contends that no company can be mustered out until after the expiration of the term from that date, where it had attained at least the minimum number of men; thus Companies "B" & "C" were not discharged until the 26th day of September, although these companies were mustered in almost a month previous to that time in 1861. Capt Pitcher of the regular Army mustered and accepted into the service of the U.S. eight companies of our regiment during the month of September 1861, although some of them had not at the time attained the minimum number of men and issued to each of the comdg officers a <hr /> copy of the Muster-in Role of their respective companies. These organizations have since continued to excist and be paid as such, fully officered to the present day, without the least objection ever being offered by the Government either through the Adjs General, who viewed the regular Muster Rolls, or it's Mustering and Disbursing Officers. Two more companies, "I" and "K" organized at Benton Barracks Mo and mustered-in, the former on the 8th and the latter on the 29th November had also not the requisite number of men, and never had since, but were nevertheless accepted as organizations and continued. On the 16th day of December the first 8 companies were again mustered and sworn by Lieut N. F. Swett, 13th U.S Inftry. This Officer promptly forwarded the Rolls of said Muster to Washington, which Captain Pitcher has evidently neglected to, for upon application being made by the regiment Comd'r for advice from the War Department when those Men belonging to companies, who never attained the Minimum, should be mustered out, as the case is not clearly defined in the general Mustering Regulations, answer was received here day before yesterday, that no more companies should be mustered out before the 16th of December 64, <hr /> as there was no record on File in the Adjt Genl's Office that any of the companies had been accepted previous to Lieut Swett's Muster on the 16th day of December 61. except Co "C" which company had previously been mustered by Capt Pitcher, and was entitled to be discharged Sept 5th 64. How that single roll came to the Adjt Genl's hands, and no other, is impossible for us to tell. At all rates the authority of Capt Pitcher's Muster is acknowledged and his signature on the roll retained by the company comdr's here, should be respected, and the men mustered out accordingly. The Adjt Genl. also confirms, that no company can be mustered out till after expiration of the term from the date where the same attained the Minimum Number.

The Men swear on their Enlistment to serve Three Years, and after the faithfull performance of duty during this time they should be discharged. No one in this regiment will refuse nor grumble about serving a reasonable time beyond he term should excigencies demand it, and a good many now have thus already served over a month longer, but to be held, for mere sake of the want of a clearly defined rule in such a case as ours, some three <hr /> three months beyond the term, is decidedly unjust, and not carrying out the conditions of the mutual agreement between the soldier and the U.S. and we are certain this matter would immediately be attended to, if the facts are only brought to the Knowledge of the War Department. As however, before an answer can be received from Your Excellency, the space of time between this and the 16th day of December 64 will almost have transpired, we sincerely beg your Excellency, to secure for us at least this much as the War Department, that all the Men in the Regiment who have established prior to the 16th day of December 1861, will be discharged & mustered out at once on the same date in this Year, no matter whether the companies to which they belong were minimum companies at the respective time or not; so that the remaining portion of the regiment can be promptly consolidated and reorganized.

Camp 43rd Regt Ills Inf. Vols. Little Rock, Ark. Oct. 6th 64 Governor: The undersigned Officers of this 43rd Regt Ills. Vols. most respectfully beg leave to represent to Your Excellency the following facts ,with the request that Your Excellency would take immediate steps, to secure us the ends which we wish to attain. According to the rules & regulations of the Muster-out of troops, the Hon. Veterans of our regiment would have to be mustered out by companies separately and successively as they were mustered in, in August and September 1861. Those of companies "A", "B", & "C" have accordingly been mustered out. The Mustering officer here contends that no company can be mustered out until after the expiration of the term from that date, where it had attained at least the minimum number of men; thus Companies "B" & "C" were not discharged until the 26th day of September, although these companies were mustered in almost a month previous to that time in 1861. Capt Pitcher of the regular Army mustered and accepted into the service of the U.S. eight companies of our regiment during the month of September 1861, although some of them had not at the time attained the minimum number of men and issued to each of the comdg officers a <hr /> copy of the Muster-in Role of their respective companies. These organizations have since continued to excist and be paid as such, fully officered to the present day, without the least objection ever being offered by the Government either through the Adjs General, who viewed the regular Muster Rolls, or it's Mustering and Disbursing Officers. Two more companies, "I" and "K" organized at Benton Barracks Mo and mustered-in, the former on the 8th and the latter on the 29th November had also not the requisite number of men, and never had since, but were nevertheless accepted as organizations and continued. On the 16th day of December the first 8 companies were again mustered and sworn by Lieut N. F. Swett, 13th U.S Inftry. This Officer promptly forwarded the Rolls of said Muster to Washington, which Captain Pitcher has evidently neglected to, for upon application being made by the regiment Comd'r for advice from the War Department when those Men belonging to companies, who never attained the Minimum, should be mustered out, as the case is not clearly defined in the general Mustering Regulations, answer was received here day before yesterday, that no more companies should be mustered out before the 16th of December 64, <hr /> as there was no record on File in the Adjt Genl's Office that any of the companies had been accepted previous to Lieut Swett's Muster on the 16th day of December 61. except Co "C" which company had previously been mustered by Capt Pitcher, and was entitled to be discharged Sept 5th 64. How that single roll came to the Adjt Genl's hands, and no other, is impossible for us to tell. At all rates the authority of Capt Pitcher's Muster is acknowledged and his signature on the roll retained by the company comdr's here, should be respected, and the men mustered out accordingly. The Adjt Genl. also confirms, that no company can be mustered out till after expiration of the term from the date where the same attained the Minimum Number. But the Government certainly does not want to thus formally press the men into it’s service. The Men swear on their Enlistment to serve Three Years, and after the faithfull performance of duty during this time they should be discharged. No one in this regiment will refuse nor grumble about serving a reasonable time beyond he term should excigencies demand it, and a good many now have thus already served over a month longer, but to be held, for mere sake of the want of a clearly defined rule in such a case as ours, some three <hr /> three months beyond the term, is decidedly unjust, and not carrying out the conditions of the mutual agreement between the soldier and the U.S. and we are certain this matter would immediately be attended to, if the facts are only brought to the Knowledge of the War Department. As however, before an answer can be received from Your Excellency, the space of time between this and the 16th day of December 64 will almost have transpired, we sincerely beg your Excellency, to secure for us at least this much as the War Department, that all the Men in the Regiment who have established prior to the 16th day of December 1861, will be discharged & mustered out at once on the same date in this Year, no matter whether the companies to which they belong were minimum companies at the respective time or not; so that the remaining portion of the regiment can be promptly consolidated and reorganized.

Robert, a Presbyterian minister and professor of languages at Transylvania University, married Hannah Todd, the aunt of Mary Todd Lincoln and Elizabeth Edwards. Robert and Hannah's son, John Todd Stuart, came to Illinois in 1828 after studying the law and immediately set up practice in Springfield. He fought in the Black Hawk War as a major in the battalion in which Abraham Lincoln had commanded a company. He served in the House of Representative from 1832-1836 serving with Lincoln. When Lincoln passed the bar, he practiced with Stuart until 1841. Stuart was elected to Congress, in 1838 defeating Stephen A. Douglas. After serving two terms, he went back into practice with Benjamin Edwards, but was then elected to the U.S. Senate in 1848, serving one term from 1848-1852. After being elected to the U.S. House in 1862 and serving one term, he returned to the practice of law with Edwards. In 1858, his son-in-law, Christopher C. Brown joined the firm. John T. Stuart also served as president of the Springfield City Railway Company, president of the Springfield Watch Company, president of the Betty Stuart Board of Trustees and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the National Lincoln Monument Association.  Stuart married Mary Virginia Nash of Jacksonville, Illinois on October 25, 1837. They had seven children: Elizabeth (Bettie), John Todd, Virginia, Frank, Robert, Hannah and Edwards. Bettie married Christopher C. Brown, a lawyer. After John T. Stuart’s death on November 28, 1885, Brown continued the law firm, eventually bringing his son, Stuart, into the practice. John Todd and Mary Virginia's son, John Todd Stuart, married Emily Webster Huntington. Their daughter, Mary Virginia Stuart married George Ketchum Hall and their children included George Stuart, Henry Huntington, and Archibald Stuart. The Stuart-Hay Families Papers at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library contain correspondence between several members of the Stuart family.

(David Virgil), 1900-1984 Journalist Newspaper editors Newspapers Editorials--Authorship Editorials Illinois--Decatur Description An account of the resource David Virgil Felts, a Decatur, Illinois, journalist, was born on January 31, 1900, in Marion, Illinois. Following high school graduation, Felts entered the University of Illinois at Champaign. In college Felts became the “Campus Scout,” the author of a humorous column about college happenings. This position at the university was also held by Gene Shalit, Allen Sherman, and others who later pursed careers in broadcasting and journalism. After receiving an A.B. from the University of Illinois in 1923, Felts became a reporter for the Louisville (Kentucky) Courier Journal. From 1923 until 1926, he worked as a sports editor for the Illinois State Register in Springfield, Illinois, and then served briefly as a United Press reporter. Following a year of post-graduate study at Harvard University, Felts returned to Springfield in 1928 and became an editorial writer and columnist. In December 1935, Felts joined the Lindsay-Schaub chain of newspapers as an editorial writer and moved to Decatur, Illinois. He became editorial page editor for the Decatur Herald and Review in 1958 and two years later, he was editorial page editor for the entire Lindsay-Schaub chain. Felts also wrote his own column, called “Second Thoughts.” The column contained folksy reminiscences about past events and observations on current affairs. Felts officially retired in 1967, but he continued to write his column three times a week for the Lindsay-Schaub newspapers. The column ran until Felts’ real retirement at the age of seventy-five. In 1975, Felts moved to Ft. Pierce, Florida, with his wife. Felts died in March of 1985. Felts, who was interested in local and state history, was a long time member of the Illinois State Historical Society. He served as Society director from 1980 to 1983 and was elected vice-president in 1983. In July 1958, Felts was appointed by Governor William G. Stratton to the Illinois Lincoln Sesquicentennial Commission. Felts was also active in the Friends of the Decatur Public Library, serving as a trustee for the Library from 1951 to 1960 and as president of the board of directors from 1953 until 1955.  The finding aid for the David V.
