Some of you may be interested to know that there were at least 47 Confederate veterans who settled in Montgomery County, IN after the war.
The Montgomery County Family History Book has an interesting article about some of them.
Stonewall Jackson Camp #1, Ladoga
In the mid-1890's, a group of Montgomery County men, all former Confederate soldiers, decided to form a camp of the United Confederate Veterans. The UCV was formed after the Civil War in the South. This veteran's organization was made up of former Confederate soldiers and sailors.
It was decided that the newly organized camp should be in Ladoga, Indiana, due partly to the large number of Confederates in the area and a friendly atmosphere toward the South.
The original charter had 11 members. Their names were: Jonas T. Gish, William P. Camden, John Mangus, Thomas Terry, Isaac Sperry, William Luster, Madison Linkinhoker, Thomas Luster, Jacob Wingert, William Ashwell, and Lewellyn Coppage. William P. Camden was elected Camp Commander and Jacob Wingert was the Chaplain. The camp was named in honor of General Stonewall Jackson. This camp was the only UCV's camp in Indiana, and one of the very few north of the Mason-Dixon Line.
During the next 10 years, several more members were added. They were: David Kennedy, Braxton Cash, William "Billy" Mitchell, William Zimmerman, Alex Sheets, and Joseph Moody.
Stonewall Jackson Camp #1 was in existence until about 1920. The last memeber was William "Billy" Mitchell of Jamestown who died in 1930.
