I had the day off. I found this information online today on Abram Ber Gotlober while he was at Białystok, Poland. There was a film made in Polish at his grave. Also a post card that he mailed while he was in Bialystok was put up for sale in Jerusalem. You can see the film and many others by going to the following link.

January 22, 1167(4927):Ibn-Ezra passed away at the age of 78 in Calahorra which was on the border between Navarre and Aragon. There is no way that any entry could do justice to this Sephardic writer, philosopher, scientist and most important of all, world traveler.[2]
January 22, 1349: SPEYER (Germany) The Jewish community was destroyed. The Jewish inhabitants were either killed, converted or fled to Heidelberg. All their property - including the Jewish cemetery - was confiscated. [3]
January 22, 1521: Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, opens the Diet of Worms. The Diet of Worms would vote to declare Luther an outlaw, banning his literature, and requiring his arrest” and require that he be punished as a heretic. Ultimately this would lead to warfare between Charles and the rebellious Germanic princes who supported Luther. This outbreak of fighting would determine who “the real Charles was” when it came to dealing with Jews. Charles wore two hats or should we say, crowns. As King of Spain, he was the grandson of Ferdinand and Isabella, following in the footsteps, the monarchs who brought the inquisition to Spain and expelled the Jews in 1492. But as Holy Roman Emperor “he had issued a letter of protection for Germany’s Jews” and “did not tamper with the privileges extended by previous Emperors to his Jewish subjects. When the fighting broke out, Spanish troops came to Germany to support Charles against the rebellious Protestant princes. When the Jews complained that the Spanish troops were treating them in the “Spanish manner,” the Emperor issued an order to end the molestation of the Jews. So in this instance Charles wore his “German Hat” and ironically it was a better deal for the Jews of that time and place.[4]
January 22, 1729: Birthdate of Gotthold Lessing, German poet, philosopher and playwright. Although a strong believing Christian, he advocated religious tolerance. His plays, such as “Die Juden” which appeared in 1749, portrayed the Jews as decent, admirable people. Lessing was a close friend of Moses Mendelssohn, who provided the inspiration for the character of Nathan in “Nathan the Wise” a play whose sympathetic portrayal of the Jews earned it the distinction of being banned by 18th century Christians and 20th century Nazis.[5]
January 22, 1775: Pope Pious VI reinforces all existing anti-Jewish legislation as part of his campaign against liberalism. He passed away in 1781.[6]
January 22, 1785: *To BUSHROD WASHINGTON
Mount Vernon, January 22, 1785.
Dear Bushrod: The enclosed letter was brought here some days ago. I desire you will present Mr. Ryan’s note to him for payment; which, if not immediately made, or such assurances as you can rely on, that he will make in a very short time, return it to me or Mr. Rumsey,[7] if he is in Richmond, as I do not incline to transfer the debt from him to Ryan. It was not my intention to receive an order upon any one, for the Sum contained in the Note. It was sent about the time it became due to Mr. Henderson[8] (one of the Members for this Country) to receive for me, who not having an oppertunity of presenting it (on Acct. of Mr. Ryans indisposition at Petersburgh) returned it to me a few days since.
As you are now at the fountain head of information, I should be glad if you would examine into, and send me a Copy of some Ordainance which must have passed (according to Col. Crawfords letter to me) at the Session next preceeding the 20th. of Septr. 1776. (which is the date of that letter).
There are some other little matters which I wanted you to do for me in Richmond, but they have escaped my recollection at this moment; when they occur again, I will write, the Ordinance above, may be necessary in the prosecution of my Ejectments over the Mountains, as Col. Crawford in his letter to me says, ~t passed with an eye to such cases as mine, upon his representation.
All here join in best wishes for you, and I am etc.[9][10]

Fri. January 22, 1864
In camp 70 new recruits came in today gray beards[18] arrived at rock island[19][20]
On November 17, 2007 I was on my way to my niece Lauren Goodlove’s basketball tournament in Rock Island, Illinois when I remembered that William Harrison Goodlove mentioned something about Rock Island in his diary. I had about 30 minutes of light left in the day so I went to the Rock Island Historical Society, (another reason to have GPS, which directed me to the address listed) where they directed me to the Rock Island Arsenal. The last thing she said was “Do not go over the speed limit at the Arsenal! After waiting 10 minutes for a train to passed I was crossing the bridge to the Arsenal and saw a white car coming my way. I looked at my speed, 35, I looked at the speed limit, 15!! I hit the breaks, look at the officer in the car, he looks at me, he drives on. Check point at Arsenal, heavily guarded. Drivers License out, purpose of visit, “family history, confederate cemetery”, as official as I can sound. “Up and and to your left, he smiles. I wonder, to myself, how many people even know about this place.
The Confederate Cemetery, Rock Island Illinois.
The only tangible remains of the Rock Island Barracks is the Confederate Cemetery. The Rock Island Barracks was one of 21 prison camps operated by the Union. From December 1863 to July 1865, 12,192 Confederate prisoners were held at the prison camp. A total of 1,960 prisoners died. Each gravestone identifies the individual soldier, his company, and his unit.
The National Cemetery Administration maintains the Confederate Cemetery. [21]
Among the Confederates who were imprisoned at Rock Island were Anthony Baker (23rd Va. Cavalry) and Lemuel Brill (18th Va. Cavalry), grandsons of Francis Godlove (Franz Gottlob).[22]
In a small box, at the entrance of the cemetery I find a book that list those who are buried at the cemetery, and their location. I find an R B Vance listed as #1440.
Flag of the St. John Guards, captured at Fort Donelson. It was made by the ladies of Woodbury and presented to a group of local volunteers, commanded by H. J. St. John in May 1861.[23] I saw the original flag at the Tennessee State Museum in 2010.

Badge of the Seven Confederate Knights
[26]
The order of the Seven Knights of the Confederacy
A History of the Badge of the Seven Confederate Knights
The order of the Seven Knights of the Confederacy was created in 1863 at Rock Island Union Prison by seven Confederate soldiers as one means of combating desertions among their fellow prisoners. Its members took an oath to stand by each other under all circumstances and to die in prison rather than give in to pressure by their captors to take oath of allegiance to the Union and join the armed forces of the United States. This oath was to be binding so long as the Confederate government was in existence. The oath spoke to the behavior of these prisoners of war in the absence of a formal code of conduct for POW's such as we have today.
The badges were made of pearl, bone, or rubber highly polished. The device was a star with seven points, and our motto was "Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori," which means, "It is sweet and glorious to die for one's country." The initial letter of one of these Latin words in each point of the star. In the center of the star was a shield on which were the emblematic letters "C.K."[27]

[15] There were more than 10,000 soldiers serving in the Union Army who were under the age of eighteen. Civil War 2010 Calendar

[18]In 1862, the U.S. War Department authorized the formation of the 37th Infantry to show that men past draft age were willing and able to go war. The unit of 914 men was assembled that December at Camp Strong near Muscatine, Iowa. The oldest man was 80 year old Pvt. Curtis King. Six men were in their 70s, including 72 year old drummer, Nicholas Ramey. Another 136 men were in their 60s. Nearly all of the members of the regiment were over 45.
Required to hike in the mud and sleep in the rain like other soldiers, the Graybeards were spared not of the rigors of army life. They were, however, exempted from combat duty, serving instead as guards of military prisons, railroads, and arsenals in Missouri, Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Only three men were killed in action, but 145 died of disease and 364 were discharged because of physical disabilities.
By war’s end, more than 1300 of the sons and grandsons of Graybeard members had enlisted. So the regiment accomplished its major purpose, to serve as a grand propaganda tool for recruiting.
37th Regiment Infantry organized at Muscatine and mustered in December 15, 1862. Moved to St. Louis, Mo., January 1, 1863. Attached to District of St. Louis, Mo., Dept. of Missouri, to May, 1863. Alton, Ill., to January, 1864. Rock Island, Ill., to June, 1864. Memphis, Tenn., District of West Tennessee, to August, 1864. Indianapolis, Ind., Cincinnati, Columbus and Gallipolis, Ohio, to May, 1865. Provost guard duty at St. Louis, Mo., and guarding military Prisons till May 1, 1863. Guard Pacific Railroad from St. Louis to Jefferson City, Me. Headquarters at Franklin till July 29. Moved to Alton, Ill, and guard Military Prison till January 16, 1864, and at Rock Island, Ill, till June 5. Ordered to Memphis, Tenn., June 5, and duty there till August 27. Moved to Indianaplois, Ind., August 27-31. Guard prisoners at Camp Morton (5 Cos.) and Military Prisons at Cincinnati, Ohio (5 Cos.), till May, 1865.
The idea was a bold one: a regiment of old men in Union blue, risen from their comfortable parlors and front-porch rockers to rally ‘round the flag. The sight of these ancient soldiers marching off to war could make young men blush with shame and send them running to the nearest recruiter,. That was the idea, but the reality of the 37th Iowa Infantry was another story altogether.

[19] The prison at Rock Island stood on an island in the Mississippi River between the cities of Rock Island, Illinois, and Davenport, Iowa. The island itself was about three miles long and half mile wide. Though the prison was not quite completed, over five thousand prisoners were sent during the month of December, 1863, and from that time on the prison usually contained from five thousand to eight thousand prisoners until the end of the war.

[28][28] Civil War prison camp on Arsenal
The camp wasn't operating long before a cemetery was needed. The winter of 1863 was exceptionally cold, something Southern soldiers weren't accustomed to.
To make matters worse, prisoners on the first train were infected with smallpox, pneumonia and dysentery. Ninety-eight died within the month. Before spring, the Confederate cemetery held more than 900 graves. Nearly 30 Union guards also died.
The first prisoners to die were quickly buried adjacent to the prison grounds. Not long after, in February 1864, the bodies were moved to the present site to improve sanitary conditions and end the plague. The prisoner death rate then dropped considerably.
In June, the Secretary of War ordered prisoner rations cut in response to conditions Union soldiers faced in the infamous prisoner of war camp at Andersonville, Georgia.
Malnutrition contributed to the scurvy deaths of at least 12 prisoners, and while it remained a problem, the subsequent drop in the death rate belied rumors of starvation.
After the war, prison buildings were razed. Ornate stone officers' quarters were erected along what is now Terrace Drive.
In following years, the camp gained an allegedly unearned reputation as a place of suffering, torture and death. Many referred to it as the ``Andersonville of the North.'' The myth was fed by articles written by Confederate veterans and published in Confederate magazines.
In her epic Civil War novel, ``Gone with the Wind,'' author Margaret Mitchell noted these accounts in a paragraph which claims ``at no place were conditions worse than at Rock Island.'' The fictional character Ashley Wilkes was said to have been held at Rock Island, in the ``hellhole of the north.''
Over the years, families of about a dozen of the dead Confederates moved their relatives' bodies from the cemetery to family plots. Most however, remain in the cemetery. On Memorial Day, a Confederate flag is placed at every grave and ``Taps'' is played.
Through it all, the American flag flies. For the Confederates, it's perhaps an insult to forever lie in the shadow of the flag they defied. However, Mr. Whiteman said it is there to claim them as our own, although they died swearing allegiance to another banner.
He said the men are honored as Americans who gave their lives for a cause they deemed sacred.
