Biblical Aromatherapy

by Robert Bike

The Bible mentions about 232 plants by name, or closely enough to figure out what plant is meant. Of these, 24 are aromatic plants; that is, parts of the plants can be pressed or distilled to get an essential oil. Essential oils are the lifeblood of plants and have tremendous healing capabilities.

The healing power of plants is the basis for modern medicines.

Biblical Aromatherapy
discusses how the plants were used in biblical days and how you can use the essential oils from biblical plants.

Originally published in manuscript form in 1999, I completely revised the book and added illustrations.

The Civil War Roster
Stephenson County, Illinois

Freeport and Stephenson County produced an astounding six Civil War generals!

The best known, Lt. General John McAllisterSchofield, later was Secretary of War in President Andrew Johnson's cabinet, and eventually, Commanding General of the U. S. Army.

Amazingly, John's brother, Brigadier General George Wheeler Schofield, gave the Schofield brothers two generals in one family! George was the inventor of the Schofield revolver and commanded Fort Apache.

Brigadier General John Wilson Shaffer, a Freeport businessman, built the house that was later developed into Freeport Memorial Hospital, and ended his life as Governor of Utah!

Brigadier General Smith D. Atkins was the first man to enlist from Stephenson County; he designed the Civil War monument at the Court House, and was later editor of the Freeport Journal, Postmaster, and author of two books.

Major General Benjamin Dornblaser later was warden at the state prison in Joliet, was a state legislator, and was in the grain business at Dakota, Ill. He authored a book about the Illinois 46th Volunteer Infantry.

Brigadier General Rollin V. Ankeny later was a U. S. Marshall, and worked as a surveyor in Florida and Oregon.

When a telegram came on April 17, 1861, that Lincoln had issued his first call for troops, Mr. Smith D. Atkins, then State's Attorney for the district, at once drafted an enlistment roll and wrote his own name at the head of the list, the first to enlist from the county. Largely through his efforts a company was raised and organized. Atkins was elected captain; M. E. Newcomer, 1st lieutenant; S. W. Field, 2nd lieutenant; E. T. Goodrich, H. A. Sheetz, William Polk and R. W. Hulbert, sergeants; C. T. Dunham, J. O. Churchill, R. H. Rodearmel and W. W. Lott, corporals; C. E. Cotton, drummer; and J. R. Harding, fifer.

The officers and the following privates took the oath April 20, 1861: W. W. Allen, J. W. Brewster, Robert Brennan, W. N. Blakeman, A. S. Best, H. P. Parker, W. H. Brown, Frank Bellman, J. S. Chambers, J. M. Chown, Thomas Chattaway, A. Coppersmith, F. Dreener, J. W. Duncan, J. P. Davis, M. Eshelman, William Eddy, J. Geiser, J. R. Hayes, E. J. Hurlburt, W. J. Hoover, L. Hall, T. J. Hathaway, J. E. Hershey, J. F. Harnish, F. M. DeArmit, W. W. Hunt, W. J. Irvin, S. H. Ingham, Nicholas Kassel, D. L. Fanner, O. F. Lamb, T. H. Loveland, S. Lindeman, S. Lebkicker, J. H. McGee, U. B. McDowell, W. T. McLaughlin, F. Murphy, D. McCormick, J. M. Miller, F. R. McLaughlin, J. P. Owen, J. Pratt, A. Patterson, G. L. Piersol, N. Smith, L. Strong, J. S. Stout, O. F. Smith, M. Slough, C. Sched, J. S. Sills, C. G. Stafford, T. Wishart, W. P. Waggoner, M. S. Weaver, J. Walton, Stephens Waterbury, J. Walkey and J. Work.

May 1, 1861, the company left for Springfield. At Springfield, Capt. Atkins' Company was assigned as Company A, the Eleventh Regiment of Illinois Volunteers.

A second company was soon organized, with W. J. McKimm, captain; Henry Settlee and Philip Arno, lieutenants; Carl F. Wagner, Jacob Hoebel, D. A. Golpin and Theodore Grove, sergeants. The company included: Joseph Meyer, Jacob Fiscus, E. Wike, John Bauscher, L. Lehman, Amos D. Hemming, Joseph Boni, George Moggly, Dietrich Sweden, John Kruse, Meinhard Herren, C. H. Gramp, Jacob Steinhauer, Mat Allard, John Berry, Peter E. Smith, James Holmes, Henry Groenewald, Albert Kocher, Thomas Burling, C. Protexter, David Stocks, Henry Luttig, Thomas Shuler, Adam Haiser, Andrew Olnhausen, E. Neese, David French, J. M. Maynard, A. Borches, Jacob Doll, John A. Raymer, Jacob Ernst, Leonard Sherman, Frederick Deusing, John T. Palmer, John Wheeler, Martin Aikey, R. Harberts, A. V. L. Roosa, Emanuel Evee, C. F. A. Kellogg, John Niemeyer, Thomas Willan, James Vore, August Temple, Jacob Rohrback, Henry Spies, Charles Entorff, Isaac Kephart, James Barron, Herman Froning, Daniel F. Shirk, James Kenneg, Albert J. Miller, William H. Hennich, John Wiefenbach, William Morris, Henry Kasper, Martin D. Rollison, Henry D. Black, John F. Black, Henry Rubald, Bernard O'Brien, George Philbrick, William Quinn, John B. Yoder, John Ginther, M. D. Miller, John Yordy, Moses Burns, Gotlieb Vollmer, Garrison Haines and Max Lamprecht, privates.

Stephenson County furnished a total of at least 3,168 soldiers to the Civil War effort, of which more than 700 perished.

Much of the information on this page came from the 1880 History of Stephenson County; some came from General Dornblaser's Complete History of the 46th Regiment Illinois Voluntary Regiment, and other information comes from personal research. There are undoubtedly typos, misspelled names, and transcription errors, but the information is as accurate as I can make it. As much as possible, here is the name, rank, enlistment date, discharge date or date of death, disabled, promotions, and photos of as many people as I can find. Research is ongoing!

One major problem with the 1880 History of Stephenson County and all other histories that I have read on this topic, is that the only men listed are the ones who enlisted in Stephenson County. If a man from Stephenson County enlisted anywhere else, he is not listed. Also, those who were already in the army or navy when war broke out were mysteriously ignored. The most famous of these are the Schofield brothers, including the most famous of all, General John Schofield!

My research continues, and I will add to this page as I gather more information. Soldiers who died in service are linked to my war memorial page, where more is written about them.

Enjoy!

FIRST MISSOURI INFANTRY

Gen. John McAllister Schofield graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1853, seventh in his class.

He served for two years in the artillery. He taught as an assistant professor of natural and experimental philosophy at West Point from 1855 to 1860. He took a leave to be a professor of physics at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, from 1860-1861.

At the onset of the Civil War, he signed up with a Missouri volunteer regiment as a major and served as chief of staff to Maj. Gen. Nathaniel Lyon. Lyon died in battle at the Battle of Wilson's Creek, Missouri, in August 1861. Much later, when Medals of Honor were being rather freely handed out in the 1890's, Schofield was awarded the Medal of Honor for "conspicuous bravery" while replacing Gen. Lyon at Wilson's Creek. He thought so little of the Medal, that he failed to mention it in his autobiography, "My 46 Years In The Army."

He was promoted to Brigadier General of volunteers on November 21, 1861, and to Major General on November 29, 1862. On April 17, 1863, he took command of the 3rd Division in the XIV Corps of the Army of the Cumberland.

He returned to Missouri as commander of the Department of Missouri in 1863. In 1864, as commander of the Army of the Ohio, he took part in the siege of Atlanta under Major General William T. Sherman, who, after the fall of Atlanta, took the majority of his forces on a March to the Sea through Georgia.

Schofield's Army of the Ohio was ordered to join Major General George H. Thomas in Tennessee. Confederate General John Bell Hood invaded Tennessee, and on November 30, Hood attacked Schofield's Army of the Ohio in the Battle of Franklin. For his services at Franklin, Schofield was elevated to the rank of Brigadier General on November 30, 1864.

Schofield soundly beat Gen. Hood, joining his forces with Thomas. On December 15-16, Schofield took part in Thomas's victory at the Battle of Nashville.

Schofield then moved his corps by rail and sea to Fort Fisher, North Carolina, in 17 days, occupied Wilmington on February 22, 1865, fought the action at Kinston on March 10, and on March 23, joined Sherman at Goldsboro. Schofield was promoted to Major General on March 13, 1865.

When the war ended, Schofield was sent on a special diplomatic mission to France because of the presence of French troops in Mexico. During Reconstruction, Schofield was appointed by President Andrew Johnson to be military governor of Virginia.

From June 1868 to March 1869, Schofield served as Secretary of War in President Johnson's cabinet.

In 1873, Schofield was given a secret task by Secretary of War William Belknap to investigate the strategic potential of a United States presence in the Hawaiian Islands. Schofield's report recommended that the United States establish a naval port at Pearl Harbor. Schofield Barracks, a major military base on Oahu is named after him.

In 1876 Schofield became superintendent of the United States Military Academy.

From 1888 until his retirement in 1895, Schofield was Commanding General of the United States Army. On February 5, 1895, he was commissioned a Lieutenant General.

He retired on September 29, 1895, upon reaching the mandatory retirement age of 64.

General Schofield died at St. Augustine, Florida, and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. His autobiography, linked above, was published in 1897.

Today, Schofield is remembered for a lengthy quotation that all cadets at the United States Military Academy at West Point, the Officer Candidate School at Fort Benning, and the United States Air Force Academy are required to memorize. It is an excerpt from his graduation address to the class of 1879 at West Point.

I wrote extensively about General John Schofield here.

George Wheeler Schofield, John's younger brother, was born in Gerry, New York, on September 30, 1833, and was just 10 when the family moved to Freeport, Illinois.

He rose to General in the Civil War, was a respected "Buffalo Soldier," designed the Schofield Revolver and was commander of Fort Apache.

He enlisted in the 1st Missouri Volunteer Infantry in November 1861 and served with his brother John. George was a Captain in Company A, 1st Missouri Light Artillery at the Siege of Vicksburg, Tennessee.

He earned a promotion to Lieutenant Colonel in the 2nd Regiment Missouri Volunteer Light Artillery. In command of the 2nd, he was active in the campaigns of Georgia.

Near the end of the Civil War, he was brevetted Brigadier General of U.S. Volunteers on January 26, 1865 for gallant and meritorious service during the campaigns in Georgia and Tennessee.

The Schofield family now had two brothers who were Civil War generals! John Schofield's son-in-law, Avery Delano Andrews (1864-1959), was also a Brigadier General in the United States Army. Another brother, Charles Brewster Schofield, too young to serve in the Civil War, rose to Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Cavalry. One other brother, Major Elisha Schofield was killed at Vicksburg after the battle when the courthouse roof collapsed while he was on it taking down the Confederate flag.

DEPARTMENT OF VIRGINIA, ARMY OF THE JAMES

Gen. John Wilson Shaffer, also known as J. Wilson Shaffer and J. W. Shaffer was born in Pennsylvania on July 5, 1827.

He was a Freeport businessman, a Colonel and Chief of Staff to General Benjamin Franklin Butler.

In May 1862, General Butler commanded the force that captured New Orleans. Butler ran the city with great firmness and political subtlety. Shaffer learned how to command power and use it firmly.

By the end of the war, Shaffer was brevetted Brigadier General.

After the war, President Ulysses S. Grant appointed him Governor of the Utah Territory in 1870. Gov. Shaffer died under mysterious circumstances in Salt Lake City, Utah, on October 31, 1870.

He is buried in Freeport.

ELEVENTH ILLINOIS INFANTRY

Gen. Smith D. Atkins, commissioned May 14, 1861. Born Jun. 9, 1835, he was a brevetted Brigadier General, the first man to enlist in the Civil War from Stephenson County.

He was cited for conspicuous bravery at Fort Donelson.

He was put on a special assignment by General Grant.

He was cited for bravery at the battle of Pittsburg Landing.

He refused to send runaway slaves back to the South.

He defeated Wheeler's cavalry at Waynesboro.

In his citation for brevet Brigadier General by special order of President Lincoln: "In all his stations as a commanding officer he was popular with both the rank and file; he was a perfect disciplinarian, and was kind and considerate to the men under him; his courage and his judgment as a strategist won their confidence, and they readily and heartily supported him wherever he went." — 1880 History of Stephenson County.

Ella SwainAs his army swept through the south with General Sherman's army near the end of the Civil War, he met the daughter of the President of the University of North Carolina, Ella Swain. They eventually married. She is shown at right. The story of their romance is told in the book Undaunted Heart — The True Story of a Southern Belle & a Yankee General by Suzy Barile.

The Stephenson County Civil War Monument was designed by Gen. Atkins. Twenty thousand people attended the dedication.

"Build them monuments of marble, surmounted with statues of Victory. Cut their names in enduring tablets of stone. Tell of their heroic deeds in story, and sing of them in song. Keep their memories green in our hearts forevermore. And yet we will not pay one half the great debt of gratitude and love we owe."—General Smith D. Atkins, Dedication of the Stephenson County Soldiers' Monument, 4 July, 1871.

He was editor Freeport Daily Journal, Postmaster and author of Democracy and Dred Scott (1860) and Abraham Lincoln (1909).

Gen. Atkins died Mar. 27, 1913.

EIGHTH REGIMENT
COMPANY B

Leonard ColbyGeneral Leonard Colby, enlisted as a teenager as a private; wounded in the siege at Mobile; captured a Confederate flag in the charge at Fort Blakely, Alabama.

On June 25, 1875, Colby earned a commission to First Lieutenant of Infantry in the Nebraska State Troops, and served in the Sioux and Cheyenne Indian wars.

In June of 1877 he earned a commission as Captain of a company of mounted rifles.

In 1878, Colby commanded a battalion in a 500-mile march against hostile Indians in Nebraska, Wyoming and Dakota.

In August, 1880, he was commissioned Captain of the Beatrice Guards. In July, 1881, he became Colonel of the 1st Nebraska Infantry Regiment.

From 1887-1896 Colby held the office of Brigadier-General, with command of the Nebraska State Troops, two infantry regiments, a troop of cavalry and a battery.

In 1890-1891, Colby led his troops during the Sioux Indian uprising. For the successful conduct of this campaign he received a gold medal from the State of Nebraska for gallant service.

President Harrison appointed Leonard Colby to be Assistant Attorney General of the United States from 1890-1893.

He was an 1867 graduate of Freeport High School.

General Colby's official biography is here, with the Class of 1867.

The true, remarkable story of General Colby's life is told in my book, Remarkable Stories, Volume 1. Only 99 cents to download in .pdf format or $11.99 in paperback.

Myron LawverLawver, Myron Alonzo, enlisted March 31, 1861, transferred to Company B, veteran battalion. In July 1938, he was the last known of Stephenson County enlistees still alive, at which time he was 91 years old. He died at age 92.

"Lon" as he was familiarly known among among his many friends in his native town of Lena was probably the last surviving soldier of the Union army confined in the notorious Andersonville Prison during the days of the Civil War. He was the last member and commander of the Wm. R. Goodard post, G.A.R., which was located at Lena.

Only four other Civil War Veterans remained in Northwestern Illinois in 1939 — Capt. William Wildey of Mt. Carroll (age 100), Lewis Fablinger of Elizabeth (age 92), Charles N. Wilmarth of Oregon (age 97), and George Trumbell of Stillman Valley (age 93).

A native of West Point Township and a son of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Lawver, Lon was born on his fathers farm March 7, 1847. Except for the period he served for the Union forces he spent most of his life in and around Lena until he moved to Freeport eight years before his death. Lon's father answered Lincoln's call to arms. The elder Lawver enlisted in 1861 in Company G, 15th Illinois Volunteer Infantry. Injured when thrown from a horse during the battle of Shiloh, he was sent home to recuperate. Myron, then only 13 years old, felt the urge to follow his father's footsteps and subsequently enlisted in the same company. He was later transferred to Company B originally organized at Belvidere. Lon Lawver was with the regiment which campaigned through Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia. They were captured at Big Shanty, Georgia, greatly outnumbered by the Confederates. They were taken to Andersonville Prison for three months. They were fed once a day, cornbread with corn cob ground in, no salt, no meat, but occassionally a few beans. They had to sleep on the ground with no covers and no fresh water. Following this Lawver returned home for a rest but later rejoined the northern forces at Raleigh, North Carolina, arriving a few days before General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse April 9, 1865, ending the war. Lon Lawver then accompanied his unit to Washington where many of the northern soldiers participated in the "Grand Review," held as a celebration for the victorious Union army. His regiment was then taken to Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, where he was discharged on Sept.16, 1865. Returning to West Point Township,he made his home on the farm with his parents. He was married in 1874 to Miranda Galbraith, a native of Stephenson County who died in 1929. Following his marriage, he was in the harness business at Lena for many years. Following his retirement he devoted much time to taking care of his truck garden and orchard, and later moved to Freeport to make his home with his daughter Lulu Lawver. He was survived by one son and two daughters. Burial was in the Lena Cemetery.

Shippy, Hiram, enlisted August 10, 1862; sick at muster out

At the battle of Altoona Pass on October 4, 1864, he was shot in the left breast. It was very doubtful he would live, but he did, with the ball still in his body.

He was discharged from the invalid corps and sent home in 1865. He lived for 8 years, suffering from his wound the entire time. He died suddenly in 1872.

His wife was pregnant with twin boys at the time he died.

An autopsy was performed which revealed the bullet track through his lung, and into his diaphragm which still had a hole in it. This is eventually what killed him.

His great-granddaughter, Dixie Downs Sampson, wrote that the family has paperwork between his wife and the state fighting to establish his pension for the twin boys born after his death. She had to prove he died of his war wounds.

She did finally prevail and raised nine children by herself on their farm, living to be 99 yrs old. One of the twins was Dixie's grandfather, Herman Shippy.

Hiram was described in his obituary as "a hero, devoted, and brave, doing his duty cheerfully."

21ST WISCONSIN VOLUNTEER INFANTRY
Company B

Frank Ely WickwireWickwire, Frank Ely was born on February 7, 1842, at Winslow. He enlisted at Oshkosh, Wisconisn, on April 20, 1861, in Company B of the Second Wisconsin Regiment, and on August 18, 1862, in the 21st Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, also Company B.

He was taken prisoner at Murfreesborough, Tennessee, on December 31, 1862, and was taken to Libby Prison at Richmond, Virgina, and was later taken to Andersonville Prison according to Helen Wickwire. He was paroled about May 1, 1863, and exchanged sometime during August 1863, returning to the command of Major General Thomas. He fought at Perryville (Danville, Kentucky), Murfreesboro (Stone River) Tennessee, Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain and Mission Ridge. He was on the march to Atlanta and took part in the battle of Kennesaw Mountain and the capture of Atlanta on September 12, 1864. He then served under Sherman on the march to the sea.

He was never wounded.

He was mustered out on June 17, 1865, at Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

He was the 5th or 6th white baby born at Winslow. He was educated at the Winslow School. During his boyhood, he remembered working in his father Ely's Country Store. His father's primary occupation was a blacksmith, but apparently Ely was also involved with merchandising in Winslow, probably with his brother Ezra.

Frank also recalled making the 12-mile ride down to Freeport in 1858 at age 16 to attend the Lincoln-Douglas debate. As Lincoln was preparing for the debate, Frank got close enough to overhear the conversation Lincoln had with his advisors: "Lincoln was preparing his address and there was one question which he wrote on a piece of paper and read to his companions, saying he was going to put the question squarely up to Mr. Douglas in the course of the approaching debate. His companions importuned him not to do it. 'Douglas is too clever a debater,' they warned Lincoln. 'He will simply turn your question against you and make you look ridiculous,' they argued. But Mr. Lincoln stood firm in his purpose. Frank heard Lincoln say: 'I am going to ask Douglas whether he favors the extension of slavery. And it matters not which way he answers, he loses; for if he answers in the affirmative, he loses the north's support; and if he answers in the negative, he loses the support of the South." In the debate, Lincoln tried to get Douglas to explain his pro-southern votes to preserve and extend slavery, which Douglas never answered. Douglas, in turn, accused Lincoln of being a Black Republican Abolitionist, willing to destroy the Union over the issue of slavery, which of course Lincoln tried to deny. Years later, Frank realized that he had witnessed an important piece of American history.

In 1868 or 1869, Frank settled in West Point, about two miles southwest of Winslow. In the 1870 census, he was a farm worker. He played a horn in several Winslow bands, including the Winslow Coronet Band.

Frank Wickwire died in Fremont, Nebraska, on March 18, 1934, at the age of 92. (Information provided by Dick Bedwell.)
