Colonel Robert G. Shaver

A source of interesting information about the Thirty-eighth ArkansasConfederate Infantry is theobituary of its organizer and commander.Colonel Robert Glenn Shaver.
From the Confederate Veteran, Volume XXIII, pages 178-179:
Col. Robert G. Shaver
By Col. V. Y. Cook, Batesville, Arkansas
"Colonel Robert G. Shaver died at the home of his daughter; Mrs. P. B.Williams, at Foreman, Arkansas, on January 13, 1915, aged eighty-fouryears. He came to Arkansas with his parents from Sullivan County; EastTennessee, in 1850, locating at Batesville, where in 1856 he wasmarried to Miss Adelaide Louise Ringgold, a beautiful and accomplisheddaughter of Col. John Ringgold, one of the State's most prominentcitizens. Some three years later he removed to Lawrence County, wherehe was licensed to practice law
"In the spring of 1861 he recruited and organized the 7th ArkansasInfantry for the Confederate army and was elected its first colonel.He and his regiment saw service at Columbus and Bowling Green, Ky, andon the evacuation of the latter place by General Albert SidneyJohnston in February; 1862, Colonel Shaver; as senior colonel of thebrigade in which his regiment was serving, commanded the rear guard ofGeneral Johnston's army to Nashville, Tenn., a most critical period.
"At Shiloh, April 6 and 7, 1862, Colonel Shaver, still in command ofthe brigade - i.e., the 1st Brigade - i.e., Hindman's Division, 3dArmy Corps, composed of the 2d, 6th, and 7th Arkansas Infantry and the3d Confederate Infantry; two-thirds of the latter regiment also beingArkansans - rose level to his country's need, and the soldiers whofollowed him were of the very best type. Colonel Shaver initiated thefight on the Confederate right early Sunday morning, the 6th, wherethe fighting was fierce and incessant throughout that bloody struggle,a struggle in which brothers were standard bearers of the opposingforces, and where he led there was much carnage; yet victory was hisat every point, as his troops surged forward in conjunction with hisalignment of the Confederate center and left wing, pushing theFederals back toward the Tennessee River; where late in the afternoonthey appeared a conglomerated mass of fugitives on the river bankseeking the friendly aegis of the Federal gunboats.
"The 7th Arkansas, Colonel Shaver's own regiment, went into action onthe left of the brigade. Lieutenant Colonel Deane commanding, withits drum-and-fife corps playing Granny, Will Your Dog Bite?
"Colonel Shaver had two horses killed under him during the day and oneon the following day, when he and his brigade continued to fightgallantly and effectively. General Hardee, in his report of thebattle, said that Colonel Shaver's conduct was most satisfactory,skillful, and exemplary throughout both days' fighting.
"Early in June, 1862, Colonel Shaver; with General Hindman, wastransferred to the Trans-Mississippi Department; and at Jacksonport,Ark., on the 8th of September of that year; Colonel Shaver organizedthe 38th Arkansas Infantry, of which he was unanimously electedcolonel and which he continued to command during the various campaignsand battles in that department. In the fall of 1864, at thereorganization of the Army of the Trans-Mississippi, Colonel Shaverwas again elected colonel of the 38th, and on the same day, in adifferent field, he was also elected colonel of Shaver's 27th ArkansasInfantry. Gen. Kirby Smith consolidated these two regiments, and theywere known thenceforth until the surrender, in June, 1865, as Shaver'sInfantry Regiment. He participated in all the principal battles foughtin the Trans -Mississippi Department after June, 1862, among whichwere Prairie Grove, Mansfield, Jenkins's Ferry; Poison Springs, MarksMill, and all the battles incident to Gen. Dick Taylor's Red Rivercampaign against General Banks, during all of which he displayed hisusual gallantry and resourcefulness. That Colonel Shaver was notkilled was not his fault, for he gave the Federals every opportunityon many fields.
"At the evacuation of Little Rock, September 10, 1863, Colonel Shaverwas in command of his brigade and covered the Confederate retreat outof the city southward. He was greatly chagrined and deeply mortifiedthat he was not permitted to engage the enemy, and he always contendedthat General Price should have offered battle; that his forces werenumerically superior to the Federals under General Steele and were infine trim and anxious to fight. It has been truthfully said of ColonelShaver that he had rather fight than eat, even after a week'ssubsistence on half rations and those who knew him and saw him on thedifferent battle fields can well testify to his worth as a resourcefulofficer and a tenacious fighter. He was a soldier by intuition,adaptability, and desire, and withal a strategist and tactician, awarrior with but few peers. He is mentioned in twelve differentvolumes and on many pages of the "Records" of the Union andConfederate armies, made up of the reports of the various commandinggenerals and published after the war by the government.
"Colonel Shaver not only had no friends at court, but much strongopposition caused by a political fight engendered in a State campaignin 1860. One of the defeated candidates for State honors, being inhigh authority at Richmond in the Confederate Senate, always opposedColonel Shaver's promotion; otherwise he would certainly have attainedat least the rank of major general. With that rank opportunities wouldhave offered which he would have availed effectively, thereby placinghim beyond the reach of the deadly enmity of the politician; for as amilitary genius he was Gen. Pat Cleburne equal in every respect, andeverybody knows there were none better than Cleburne.
"Colonel Shaver's well-earned sobriquet of "Fighting Bob Shaver" wasknown throughout the different armies in which he served. He waswounded four times and had six horses killed under him in action.
"A poem on the Arkansas Confederate soldier mentions Colonel Shaver inone of its stanzas, as follows:
"We fought with Lee at Gettysburg,
with Clehurne always our saver,
With Bragg at Chickamauga Creek,
at Shiloh with Bob Shaver."
"So loyal was Colonel Shaver to the Confederate cause that he nevercomplained of the ungenerous and untoward opposition to him by thepoliticians and carried the heart wound to his grave without a murmur.
"Colonel Shaver was a member of the Grand Council of the Ku-Klux Klan,and many of the Latin terms which expressed its polities and tenantsbore the earmarks of his ability and scholarly attainments. He was thehighest ranking officer of the Klan in Arkansas, General Forrest beingthe highest in the entire Klan, its commander in chief. Early in thewinter of 1868 Colonel Shaver; on account of his connection with theKlan in Arkansas, and especially his campaign in Woodruff County, inwhich he participated in two skirmishes against Clayton's Militia, wasforced by the Clayton regime of carpetbaggers, then in power inArkansas, to leave the United States, going to British Honduras, wherehe remained for several years. Returning to Arkansas, he was appointedsheriff of Howard County by Gov. Elisha Baxter, the carpetbaggers inthe meantime having been dethroned. Later he was appointed majorgeneral of the Arkansas State Guard, which he at once reorganized, andin 1896 he was elected Commander of the Arkansas Division, UnitedConfederate Veterans, and at once gave to it its first semblance oforganization. This position he held for two years; and notwithstanding his great popularity, fitness, and adaptability for theposition, he declined further election, as had been the custompreviously and since, with one lamentable exception. This he did thatother comrades might share this great and exalted honor. He wasgreatly adverse to scrambling for U. C. V positions in the State andgave his influence for rotation after a term of two years.
"Camp Shaver where the Confederate veterans were camped during theLittle Rock Confederate Reunion in 1911, was named for ColonelShaver; and he was further honored by being placed in command of theencampment. His duties were executed with loving kindness toward theold soldiers under his charge, and yet with such military precisionthat a successful discipline was accomplished, attractive andbeneficial to those participating.
"His memory is embalmed in the hearts of his countrymen, and long anddeeply will they remember and appreciate his heroic service for thiscountry's cause."

Garden nestled among buildings is hidden treasure

October 5, 1994

Renovations have recently been completed on the President's Court, a collection of hosta plants and other greenery nestled in the enclosure surrounded by Buildings 3, 10. 11 and 13.

Eighty percent of the concrete walkways surrounding the square garden have just been repaired. A dirt path that went through the garden from one corner to the other has also been replaced with a blue stone walkway.

The garden is home to at least 10 different types of hosta plants, identifiable by their large tropical-looking leaves. They were a gift from Frances Ropes Williams, a 1904 MIT graduate and avid gardener. According to Norman Magnuson, route supervisor in grounds services, she bred different types of the plants she enjoyed and named them in memory of her sister, Constance Williams Hosta.

"Peter Heinrich Gideon of Bavaria in company with his wife and one year old son, Peter, started for the new world about 1749. The wife died en voyage but Peter Heinrich and his son, Peter, arrived safely at Philadelphia. Peter Heinrich Gideon remarried and had other children. Both father and son fought in the Revolutionary War. Peter Gideon located in Maryland but later removed to Loudoun County, Virginia where he followed farming until his death in 1844 at the age of 96 years. He had seven children, the oldest son being George.

"George Gideon was born in Maryland in 1788 and married Elizabeth Miller of Virginia in 1812. During the War of 1812 he served in the Virginia Militia. Their three children were with them when they pioneered into Champaign county, Ohio in 1817. The Gideon family came to Clinton in the spring of 1847 when Clinton consisted of only a dozen or so houses. The trip from Ohio to Illinois was made overland in eight large prairie schooners. George Gideon conducted a hotel in Clinton and laid out the Gideon addition to Clinton. He died at the age of 92 years in 1880. His wife died at the age of 72 years in 1864. They raised a family of ten children: George William, Sarah, Catherine, Armstead M., Peter Miller, Ann, John Wesley, Samuel Hitt, Jacob Boucher and Elizabeth." - Clinton 1835-1985, Dewitt County, Illinois 1839-1985; IL (Dewitt) HIS 1985, pp.227-228; Bloomington-Normal Genealogical Society Library, 201 E.

Gideon, George W (I5659366280)

Though Peter (Peder) and Beret were both born in Kristiansund, they met for the first time in
Calumet, Michigan and were marrried in 1899. He was 29 and Beret was 24 when their first child, Arthur was born. Iver Oness, a brother of Beret, came to America before she did and was in Calumet, Michigan, before Peter and Beret. A sister of Beret, Marie, also came to America at another time.

Peter and Beret moved to Duluth in 1902 and to a homestead in Holt in 1910.
They moved to Ponoke, Alberta, Canada, in February 1919 and rented a farm form a man named Paulson. Later they had a farm at Wetaskiwin, between Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta, then to a place in Morningside, Iver Oness, A brother of Beret had gone to Canada before they did. Their daughter, Mabel
moved to Bremerton, Washington, where a friend lived, in the mid 20's. Arthur came down next and worked in the Bremerton shipyards. Peter, Beret and the three younger children followed later. Ethel had already married and left for California. Peter moved to Sequim where he had a dairy farm and then to Port Orchard, Washington, where he farmed and raised chickens. He died June 28, 1939 in Port Orchard and is buried in Bremerton. He had a hernia operation and as he was being wheeled out of the hospital he died of a blood clot in the heart.

"In the year 1817 several members of the Miller family emigrated from the vicinity of Harper's Ferry in Loudon County, Va., to Champaign County, Ohio. The emigrants consisted of Valentine Miller, his wife and some of his family including several sons-in-law. It was a sort of exodus of the Miller family since the father and mother resolved not to be left behind if the children came West.

"Valentine Miller was of German descent and followed the occupation of a miller continuing in it for years after coming to Ohio. He bought a tract of land in Champaign County and divided it among his children retaining a farm for himself. He and his wife are buried in a family burying ground on a part of the Miller estate near Millersville, Ohio, which took its name from this family.

"The wife of Valentine Miller was Sarah Conrad. She was of English and Welsh descent and came of that early Virginia colony which obtained its wives by paying for their passage with tobacco. ..." - The Clinton Register, Clinton, Illinois, 26 Jan 1912, excerpt from the obituary for Ann (Gideon) Parker
