"... April 15, 1875, the remainder of the county [Emmet] was thrown open to actual settlers. At that time the white population of the county was about 150. The Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad had just opened a highway of travel and transportation through the county, and the village of Petoskey had just entered upon its career. Upon the date named the books were opened at the U.S. Land office at Traverse City, and so great was the rush for land that over 800 claims were entered during the first three days. Under an act of Congress soldiers in the late war could homestead 160 acres of land while a citizen could homestead only eighty acres, consequently a greater portion of the land was taken by soldiers who settled upon homesteads of 160 acres."

Department Commander R.R. Pealer and his military connections.
28 June 1899 ~ The Petoskey Record above AND more information about Judge Pealer included below...
From the History of Michigan published in 1915 by The Lewis Publishing Company:
"Judge Pealer...
From 1868 Judge Pealer took an active interest in the Grand Army of the Republic, and served as Post Commander, as Commander of the Department of Michigan, and several times as Judge Advocate of the Department, and also as Judge Advocate General of the Grand Army of the United States. He took the lead in the movement to erect a soldiers' and sailors' monument at Three Rivers and was chairman of the Monument Association, and presided during the dedication ceremonies. He has attended most of the state and national encampments, and has long been an active member of the military order of the Loyal Legion and has been its State Commander.
From his mother he received special encouragement toward a higher education, and as a boy he definitely determined upon the law as a vocation and was planning to enter the Albany Law School in New York, when the Civil war came on. He was attending school at the time of the second battle of Bull Run, and then went to Washington and volunteered to assist in the care of the wounded. On September 9, 1862, he enlisted for three years as a private in Company E of the Sixteenth Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry and served until honorably discharged August 11, 1865. For "meritorious conduct" he was promoted to sergeant major of the regiment, and later was commissioned second and then first lieutenant of Company E, acted as adjutant of the regiment, served on the staff of the regimental and brigade commanders, and at times commanded a company and sometimes a squadron, and during the battle of Reams Station was temporarily in command of the Second Pennsylvania Cavalry. Judge Pealer participated in thirty-five battles and engagements, including the Chancellorsville and Gettysburg campaigns, and the engagements at Shepardstown, Culpeper, Mine Run, Sulphur Springs, the Wilderness campaign. Cold Harbor, North Anna, Petersburg, Weldon Railroad, Plank Road and Hatcher's Run. While leading Companies E and I in the Rattle of Hatcher's Run he was wounded, and was carried from the field on a stretcher, and then removed a distance of six hundred miles to his home. The ball was extracted in Baltimore, and he was cared for by his mother at his home until able to return on crutches to his regiment. While recovering from his wound he studied civil engineering, and after the war defrayed some of the expenses of his legal education by work as a surveyor.
In business affairs at Three Rivers he [Judge Pealer] served for six years as president of the First National Bank, and during that time the First National took over the business of the Three Rivers National, and he was also receiver for the First National bank of White Pigeon. Owning a summer home at Bay View, near Petoskey, Judge Pealer became a well known figure among the summer citizens of that noted resort, became a trustee and took an active part in its affairs."

5 June 1901 ~ The Petoskey Record
Dean Wheaton in his book The Wheatons of Northern Michigan, explained that the Civil War affected everyday Life in Michigan as well as the lives of the military men and women... forever: "Life in Michigan during the war went on but saw many changes. A shortage of labor was responsible for development of many farm machines. Bumper crops and high prices caused farm prosperity to rise to unknown heights. Wheat reached $1.84 per bushel in 1864. Many women were busy preparing bandages and clothing or joined the labor force especially on farms. Industrial production, prices, and profits rose rapidly but wages more slowly, an impetus to unionization later. Lumbering was one industry that was hurt by the war and it did not recover until the war's end." (Transcribed here by permission of Mrs. Dean Wheaton)

The INDIAN COMPANY
"During the Civil War a full company of L'Arbre Croche Indians served with credit
under the command of General Grant."
(page 99 from Mrs. Ethel Rowan Fasquelle's book published in 1951 and titled
When Michigan Was Young)
under the command of General Grant."
(page 99 from Mrs. Ethel Rowan Fasquelle's book published in 1951 and titled
When Michigan Was Young)
"During the Civil War a full company of L’Arbre Croche Indians served with credit under the command of General Grant. Andrew Kag-a-be-tang, an Indian from the ancient village of L’Arbre Croche, was the FIRST soldier from Emmet County in World War I to give his life for this country, while quite recently the remains of several Emmet County Indians have been returned from the battlefields of Europe and the South Pacific islands."
Little Traverse Bay Souvenir The Ottawan by F.C. Wright priced at 50¢ was published in 1895
(and may be accessed on the internet as a PDF).
(and may be accessed on the internet as a PDF).
"One of the interesting features of the late Civil War was a company of Indian soldiers who fought under Grant from the battle of the Wilderness until the surrender of the Confederates at Appomattox Court House. 'Company K, First Michigan Sharpshooters,' was composed almost entirely of Indians from the Little Traverse Region. Of the 100 men who left to fight for their country, scarcely half that number returned. The company was organized at Little Traverse in 1863 by Lieut. G.A. Graveraet, a gallant young soldier, who fell mortally wounded in the battle before Petersburg, after digging a grave for his father who fell by his side.
Letters received home from superior officers stated that the Indians were among the best soldiers in the service. They entered each battle with vim and vigor and fought as gallantly for that same country under the stars and stripes as their ancestors did when they defended it from the whites under the feathers of the wild American Eagle." Page 75

Kalbfleisch's Accounting of Indians of Company K
"Among those from the Village [Cross Village] who fought in the Civil War were Louis and John B.S. Shomin, Frank Tabasash, and Joseph Ach-Au-Nach." Page 92 of Yesterday's People Revisited A Chronology of Northern Emmet County compiled by Raymond W. Kalbfleisch and printed in 1993. Kalbfleisch also wrote on Page 94 "Also among those from Emmet County who served in the Civil War were at least two Indian men from Bear River (Petoskey). Daniel Wells, or Mwa-ke-we-nah, who laid down his life for his country, and Joseph Na-bah-na-yah-sung, or as he named himself, Gibson, who died from starvation in the infamous Andersonville prison." On Page 122 Kalbfleisch further wrote: "Former members, and one widow of the famous all Indian Company K, First Michigan Sharpshooters living in the township in 1890 follows: Louis Shomin had been a private and lost his right eye. Payson Wolf, private, had incurred scurvy as the result of being a prisoner in Andersonville. Joseph Eshkonek, private, had an arm wound. Frank Tabasash had been a sergeant. Elizabeth Ketchabaptist was the widow of Amos; he had been a private and died in the Andersonville Prison."
On page 132, Raymond Kalbfleisch wrote: "...The village [Cross Village] had a Grand Army of the Republic post. Established in 1883, it was known as the George Washington Post, G.A.R., No. 106. Frank Tabasash, an Indian veteran of the Civil War, held the position of officer of the guard in the post. In 1884, the post had 30 members."

Ceremony to Honor Corporal Royal Teachout
22 June 2024
22 June 2024
The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War – Robert Finch Camp No. 14 to Honor Royal Bradford Teachout of Charlevoix County. Public ceremony to take place on Saturday, June 22, 2024, at 11:00am at Maple Hill Cemetery in Clarion. This event will be held rain or shine (lightening or heavy wind will impact the event).
Royal Bradford Teachout was recorded as the last surviving Civil War veteran in Charlevoix County when he passed away at the age of 94 on November 1, 1937. He had been a member of the Lombard Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) Post #170 in Petoskey. That GAR post was disbanded in 1940 following the death of its last member, Private Ira Stewart who was honored as the Last Veteran of the Civil War buried in Emmet County.
Teachout was born June 2, 1843, in Hillsdale County, Michigan to Sgt. Enoch Peck Teachout and Maria Wealthy Hopkins Teachout.
He first enlisted and mustered in on August 4, 1862, for a three -year term, serving in Battery B, Ohio 1st Light Artillery. He mustered out on a surgeon’s certificate of disability on August 13, 1863, at Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Teachout then reenlisted on August 31, 1864, at Camden (Hillsdale County), Michigan and mustered in that September to Company G, Michigan 11 Cavalry as a Private and later promoted to Corporal. He mustered out on June 16, 1865, at Knoxville, Tennessee.
Royal Teachout married Amanda D. Mason on December 13, 1863, and the couple had six known children. She passed away August 11, 1924, and is also buried in Maple Hill Cemetery.
The task of documenting the final resting places of Civil War Soldiers in the state of Michigan began over 140 years ago by the Department of Michigan Grand Army of the Republic (GAR).
At the beginning of the new millennium, the combined research and tireless effort of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War and their friends, and especially the Archives of Michigan, resulted in over 20,000 records retained at the Department (state) and at the National level from the Department of Michigan. Graves Registration Database: https://www.suvcwmidb.org/
At the present time, the Department database contains over 60,000 records, including all known Civil War soldiers buried in Michigan from any units, as well as any Michigan soldiers that are buried anywhere. We also include the burial places of veterans of any war from the American Revolution through the Spanish American War if they are reported to us.
The Sons of the Union Veterans of the Civil War – Department of Michigan was chartered on June 24, 1884. There are 20 Camps and over 350 members throughout both of Michigan's peninsulas representing the interests of the Grand Army of the Republic and honoring the memory of those who "wore the blue" in defense of our nation. https://suvcwmi.org/
Robert Finch Camp No. 14 is the oldest, active Camp in the Department of Michigan, dating from March 26, 1914. Camp 14 is named for Sgt. Robert Finch, who served in the First Michigan Sharpshooters. Camp No. 14 represents sixteen Northern Michigan counties. Camp No. 14 originally was based in Grand Rapids until it petitioned to relocate to Traverse City, a convenient location for members and potential members in the area. https://robertfinch14.com/
The GAR was the preeminent veterans' organization formed at the close of the Civil War. It was active until 1956 when it dissolved following the death of its last member.
