Our History War Troop Movements On Early Local Railroad Recalled By Johnson Editor's Note: Following is another in a series of articles about the settlement and development of Richmond and Wayne county. No. 898 By Luther M. Feeger Troop movements were common sights on the Indiana Central railway in the Civil War. Recruits were transported to training camps.

Wounded men singly and in large groups were moved over this line to their homes in the West. One of the largest and most spectacular troop movements was the transfer of two corps from the eastern war theater to the Army of the Cumberland in Tennessee, which took place in the autumn of 1863. Many cities and towns on the route of the Indiana Central Railway, including Richmond, Centerville and Cambridge City, had civic organizations that were prepared to feed soldiers on the troop trains. One of the fine demonstrations of the appreciation of civilians of the sacrifices of the soldiers was given by the citizens of Centerville in September, 1863. It took place when President Lincoln and Secretary of War Edwin M.

Stanton quickly transferred two army corps from the Army of HEE Robert U. Johnson the Potomac to the Army of the Cumberland in response to an earnest appeal of Gen. U. S. Grant for reinforcements.

Robert Underwood Johnson, famous editor of Century magazine and diplomat, in his autobiography, "Remembered recalled the passage of these troops through Centerville.

Dr. Frederick R. Darkis, a company chemist, reported similar studies. Dr. Gross said that from 1932 until 1953 no research was being done on the physical effects of smoking.

The Duke chemistry professor said he was unaware of any literature linking cigarette smoking wither lung cancer until 1950 and that only newspaper reports which "did not appear conclusive." Trial of Prichard's suit, in which he charges Liggett Myers was deceitful in its advertising and negligent in safeguarding its product, was recessed until Monday because of the Easter weekend.

"Beside the track were long improvised tables upon which was placed everything in the way of delicious food that the imagination could suggest; big kettles of coffee were kept over flaming fires. Bell Would Sound "At the sounding of the courthouse bell, which gave ample notice of the coming of each train, the farmers, laden with fruits and melons, would hasten to town and join the citizens in serving the swarming soldiers, who, as this was their first experience of the kind since they had left Harrisburg, were puzzled to know on what terms they were being fed. "It was arranged that every train should be stopped in order that there should be plenty of time for this provisioning, which was quite in contrast to the gov- Farm Bureau Plans Jacksonburg Meet JACKSONBURG.
