Leonard Family - Lenoir Inez Leonard - My Apology to my Man.

This poem was written by my mother's mother, Lenoir Inez Leonard Triplett - also known as Bobbie. This was written at an unknown date. I declare that I have the copyright to this poem.


My Apology to my Man.

My poor husband

Doesn't know that I know' Why he's so dreadfully henpecked;

Such simple little things, a basket

of darning, twonedn't need to be more.

When I set me task and I don't

Succeed..... it's


Pop- why don't you mow the lawn,

You haven't fixed that light switch yet

Why don't you use the edger, we look

All frayed around about. For nineteen

Years he's patiently endured the

Scoldings I should have given me.

Fisher Family - Jeremiah Fisher - Headstone and Pension Record

This is the record of Jeremiah Fisher's pension file.

He is on the last line of this snapshot.

The line record reads as:

United States Revolutionary Payment ledgers, 1818 - 1872 7 vol F Revolutionary War pensioners

Jeremiah is the 12th pensioner listed.
The record lists his name as Jeremiah Fisher.
Rank - This looks like he was a wagoner.
I cannot read what his monthly allowance/pension was. Maybe 40 and no pence/cents?
The last notation off the line states he "Died 11th Octo 1846".
I cannot read the rest of the writing on that line.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is Jeremiah Fisher's headstone. His wife Elizabeth is also buried/memorialized on this headstone.














I will be adding more to this website.

Wheeler Family - Andersonville

This was found on 22 October 2022, documenting on the NPS.gov the imprisonment of Barney Wheeler. Barney was Lydia Fisher's last husband. I have read in the testimony of Lydia Fisher, that he was a drinker of alcohol. He worked as a cook in town.

Apparently he was asked by the town of Sycamore to leave the vicinity. I believe that he was never seen in the area again.

The notation regarding Barney Wheeler reads as follows:

Held at Andersonville and survived.

Prisoner Location
Andersonville

Location: Illinois [I believe that this was his home state.]

The Website for Andersonville is:https://www.nps.gov/ande/learn/historyculture/camp_sumter.htm

The official name of Andersonville Prison was Camp Sumter in honor of the county it was located in. The prisoners had been moved from nearby Richmond Virginia. 

The prison covers 16.5 acres.

The camp was opened in February o 1864. 400 prisoners arrived daily.

 Andersonville 's size was enlarged to 26.5 acres due to overpopulation. At one time the camp held 33,000 prisoners. The camp was opened in February 1864. 400 prisoners arrived daily.

45,000 Union soldiers were imprisoned at Andersonville. 13,000 died from disease, poor sanitation, malnutrition, overcrowding or exposure.

The "deadline" was then area closest to the outer fence. The area was the 19 feet inside the wall. If a prison stepped over the line, the guards were allowed to shoot the prisoner.

I have read that the Confederates did not have enough food, clothing and medical care for the their own soldiers, the prisoners were lower in priority that the Confederates.

As General Sherman's Union forces occupied Atlanta on 2 September 1864, the prisoners were moved into South Carolina and Coastal Georgia. [Watch Gone with the Wind for a filming of the escape from Atlanta.]

Captain Henry Wirz was tried and found guilty by a military tribunal. He was hanged in Washing, D.C. on November 10, 1865       


Clara Barton and Dorence Atwater [a former prisoner at  Andersonville] worked to identify and mark the graves of the Union dead, transforming the grounds into a cemetery. Only 460 union soldiers out of the 'dead' population were marked as "unknown Union Soldier".

Andersonville was sold to the Woman's Relief Corps [WRC] which was the national auxiliary of the GAR [Grand Army of the Republic.]


In 1910 the WRC donated the site to the people of the United States, administers by the War Department and its successor, the Department of the Army. It was designated a national historic site by Congress in October 1970. It  has been administered by the National Park Service since 1971.

Fisher Family - Lydia Fisher - Marriage - Luke Aldrich

 This is the marriage record of Lydia's fourth marriage. This time it was to Luke A. Aldrich. Luke was a widower with 2 sons in tow.. I do not know the ages of the boys, but Lydia reports that she got along with them well.

While I do not know the reason for the marriage ending, Luke finally took the 2 boys with him and moved to Canada. 

I have not found a divorce action against Luke by Lydia until Lydia was working to procure the pension assigned to her first husband Duncan MacDonald.
