A True Story…



His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while
trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming
from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog.

There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming
and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what
could have been a slow and terrifying death.

The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse
surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced
himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.

'I want to repay you,' said the nobleman. 'You saved my son's life.'

'No, I can't accept payment for what I did,' the Scottish farmer
replied waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came
to the door of the family hovel.

'Is that your son?' the nobleman asked.

'Yes,' the farmer replied proudly.

'I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education
my own son will enjoy If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no
doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of.' And that he did.

Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time,
graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on
to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming,
the discoverer of Penicillin.

Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog was
stricken with pneumonia.

What saved his life this time? Penicillin.

The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill .. His son's name?

Sir Winston Churchill.

Someone once said: What goes around comes around.

Work like you don't need the money.

Love like you've never been hurt.

Dance like nobody's watching.

Sing like nobody's listening.

Live like it's Heaven on Earth.

This Day…





April 1096: At the end of April 1096, a certain Volkmar, of whose origins we know nothing, set out from the Rhineland with over 10,000 men to join Peter in the East. He took the road to Hungary that ran through Bohemia. A few days later Peter’s old disciple Gottschalk, with a slightly larger company, left along the main road that Peter had taken, up the Rhine and through Bavaria. Meanwhile a third army had been collected by a petty lord of the Rhineland, Count Emich of Leisingen, who had already acquired a certain reputation for lawlessness and brigandage. Emich now claimed to have a cross miraculously branded on his flesh. At the same time, as a soldier of known experience, he attracted to his banner a greater and more formidable variety of recruits than the preaches Volkmar and Gottschalk could command. A multitude of simple enthusiastic pilgrims joined him, some of them following a goose that had been inspired by God. But his army included members of the French and German nobility, such as the lords of Zweibrucken, Salm and Viernenbergher, Hartmann of Dillengenm, Drogo of Nesle, Clarambald of Vendeuil, Thomas of Le Fere and William, Viscount of Melun, surnamed the Carpenter because of his huge physical strength. [1]



April 10, 1720: Units of Pennsylvania troops apparently did participate in the action at Yorktown(20). There was a John
Dodson in the 1st Company, 2" battalion, Chester County, Pennsylvania troops commanded by Lt. Col.
Thomas Bull also reported by Rev. Ege(21). This John Dodson was born in England April 10, 1720 and died
in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania March 10, 1818. He married Mary Eleanor Evans in 1745(22).
Since Rev. Ege was dealing with the entire Dodson family line between 1600 and 1907, it is easy to
understand how data could be confused between two John Dodsons both serving in the Revolutionary War.

2
Rev. Ege also reported Eleanor's date of death as January 5, 1845 rather than the January 6, 1840 that is
listed in the tombstone inscription records for Finneytown Cemetery(23).

The confused data is not limited to Rev. Ege as the Daughters of the American Revolution Official Roster
for soldiers who lived in Ohio shows "Dodson, John - Hamilton County by Mrs. W. Earle Johnson,
Batavia, 0, Roster I, p 116, B 12-25-1752, Shrewsbury, England; d 5-16-1825; bur Finneytown Cem. On
Winton Rd - Springfield Twp, Hamilton Co, 0, Md. Mil, under Col. Thomas Bull +++. Eleanor Howard b
1-11-1759, d 1-8-1841+++ "(24). Also, the following is found in a Daughters of the American Revolution
Linage Book, "John Dodson m. 1778 Eleanor Howard (1759 - 1845)"(25). Thus, it appears that other
respected genealogical sources as well as Rev. Ege confused the data. [2]





Wednesday April 10, 1754

Lt. Colonel Washington's Virginia Regiment arrives in Winchester VA, and is joined by new recruits gathered by Captain Adam Stephen. The regiment thus grows in size to 159 troops. [3]

Monday, April 10th, 1775



Crossed the Fallen Timbers. Occasioned by a violent gust of wind from the east. The Trees are either torn up by the roots or broke off near the ground. Some Oaks 2 foot diameter are broke off and the tops carried to a considerable distance. Scarcely one tree left standing. I am told it continues 100 Miles in a west course and about a mile broad. Dined at the Great Meadows, a. large marshy place clear of trees. Saw the vestiges of Fort Necessity. This was a small picketed Fort built by Colnl. Washington in the year 1754. About a mile to the westward of this Fort, General Braddock is buried at a small Run. They tell me he was buried in the middle of the road to prevent the Indians digging up his body. Crossed the Laurel Mountain. Saw the place where Colonel Dunbar was encamped when he received the news of General Braddoçk’s defeat in 1755. Great quantities of broken Bombshells, cannon, bullets, and other military stores scattered in the woods. This is called the Laurel Mountain from the great quantities of Laurel that grow upon it. A most delightful prospect of the country to the westward of it. Called at Gist’s Fort. Crossed the Yaughagany River at the Steward’s Crossings. Got to Zachariah Connel’s, Brother-in-law to George Rice. Much fatigued this evening. Heavy rain most part of the day.[7]



April 10, 1778, Lieutenant-Colonel Hans Heinrich Eitel, com-

manding officer of the Hessian regiment of artillery, and at that

time on duty in Philadelphia, prepared a list of his men (i officer

and 16 men) who had escaped capfure in the surprise at Trenton :



Lieutenant Johannes Engelhardt ; Bombardiers Heinrich Ide

and Johannes Humberties Westerburg ; Artillerists Bautzer, Dil-

forth, Geisse, Heckert, Korn, Christian Kuhn,' Kulm, Loelekes,

Muench, Rasch, Ruhl, Schmeermund, Zahn, Zaun.



A small guard oi ten men who went to Princeton with baggage

on Christmas day, of course took no part in the fight. They may

be said to have escaped. Their names were : —



Corporal Heinrich Grebe (M), Grenadiers Johannes Brawn

(M), Bernard Loose (By), Georg Hesse (K) and Wilhelm Wim-

melmann (M), all of Rail regiment ; Fusiliers Koch, Jr. (By),



^ Christian Kuhn, a soldier of gigantic stature, after escaping from

the Trenton battle, appears to have deserted the Hessian Corps, for

later on in the war he joined Captain Zebulon M. Pike's company of

Colonel Stephen Moylan's Fourth regiment. Continental dragoons, and

subsequently was discharged therefrom on account of a sabre cut on

his arm. Under Act of Congress, August 11, 1790, he was placed on

the New Jersey Invalid Pension Roll as Christian Koon, spelled also

Khun, Kuhn and Coon, and died January 23, 1823, at Montgomery,

Orange County, New York. Nicholas Luckhard (D), Ochse (M), Jacob Schmidt (M) and Schumacher (D), all of von Knyphausen regiment. [8]

April 10, 1794:

Two tracts of land, one called “Stafford,” and the other “Rich Plain,”located where McCormick settled, were warranted to William Crawford, but soon afterwards became the property of William McCormick, and were patented to him May 28, 1795. A saw mill was erected by him on these premises. An agreement was made by McCormick (April 10, 1794) to sell a part of these tracts to John Gilson for ₤252, and on the 7th of December, 1796, the property was deeded by McCormick to Gilson. [10]



April 10, 1838: John B. (Benjamin) McKinnon married Maria Fleming.

Note: there are duplicate entries here. Benjamin and Maria Fleming April 10, 1838, Vol. 162, page 262. John Benjamin and Marie Fleming on April 18, 1838, [11]





Sun. April 10, 1864

Marched 8 miles camped in 1 pm went on picket 2 nites without sleep slept

Good on picket on retreat for grandecor for supplies[12]



April 10, 1865

It (the 24th Iowa) was then ordered to Goldsborough[13], North Carolina where it was transported by rail, arriving on April 10 as the last of Sherman’s army was marching out.. The health of the regiment is good. Supply of clothing, moderate. Arms in excellent condition.[14][15]

Although the regiment had been reassigned to the 3rd Brigade, 1st Division of the X Army Corps, the men were disappointed to learn that the 24th would not join in Sherman’s advance. They would, instead, garrison the city of Goldsboro.[16]

Occupying an excellent campsite left by Sherman’s advancing army, the 24th benefitted from many items left behind. Rigby’s mess secured a large hospital “fly” tent, well furnished with bunks, tables, and chairs. A cooking apartment was attached, complete with a box cupboard. Private Rigby was thrilled to find also a copy ofr Finley’s Western Methodism and Dr. Cutter’s Revised Physiology. [17]

Goldsboro was an important railroad junction and contained a women’s seminary. The citizens were far from hospitable, and Rigby proclaimed: “We would suppose, at least some refinement amo ng the fair sex from the fine edifice erected for their culture. But on an average they are a fair specimen of clay eating, snuff suckers. Their seminary is now devoted to the use of our sick and wounded while its former inmates have gone out to bless the world by encouraging treason, and making clothing for traitors.[18]









The unit was to used for escorting the President. When Lincoln went to the Old Soldiers home in June, 1864, the unit also had gained the responsibility of guarding Anderson Cottage, where Lincoln stayed.



Lieutenant George Ashmun of this unit responded to the question “How did it happen that , with a guard and escort provided , he was at Ford’s Theatre that eventful night unprotected?”



It had never been thought necessary for him to be guarded when going out for an evening in that way. It was understood that he preferred not to be accompanied in such fashion, when mingling with the people in such places, and in some way the alarm felt during the preceding autumn had lessened. At least the escort heard nothing of the special apprehension and were as unprepared for the attack on him as people in Ohio were. It is true, however that at almost any time a person with Booth’s reckless determination could have reached and killed the President at the White House, or in his walks to the War Department, for it was an almost daily thing to see him walking alone and leisurely to and from his interviews with Secretary Stanton; and it would have been easy for such an assassin to have met him there.[19]



Dr. William McKinnon Goodlove (1st cousin, 3 times removed) and the 57th Ohio Volunteer Infantry Advance on Raleigh April 10-14, 1865.



April 10, 1865: Applauding their courage and valor, Confederate General Robert E. Lee gives his formal farewell to the Army of Northern Virginia.[20]



April 10, 1941: Riots break out in Antwerp against Jews.[21]

•

April 10, 1941: The Croatian state is set up by the Germans and Italians.[22]



April 10, 1942: The Bataan Death March begins as the Japanese force American and Philippine prisoners to march 85 miles in 6 days, resulting in over 5200 American deaths. [23]



April 10, 1963: The nuclear submarine, Thresher, sinks during a test dive in the Atlantic Ocean, killing all 129 crew members.[24]

[Tune: “When Johnny Comes Marching Home”]



The Yankee soldiers sang this and other improvised ballads as they hiked down the long road from Pleasant Hill to Grand Ecore, (Beecher, 114th New York, p. 326.) sometimes ending their ditty with a derisive shout of “Napoleon P. Banks.”(Homans, Mil. Hist. Soc. Mass., VIII, 85-86.) Sneering at the unfortunate Banks was about all the satisfaction to be got from that march. The narrow road had already been badly cut up by the train, which left burning wagons, tents, and other heavy articles in its wake. (O. R., XXXIV, Part I, 609; Part iii, 115.)
