LYMAN HEMENWAY

 

Too young to volunteer, Lyman ran off at the age of twelve to fight in the Civil War. He ended up as a drummer recruiting troops. He drummed up troops throughout Northern Illinois.

DIED - HEMENWAY

In this city, Aug.21, Horace R. Hemenway, (son of Charles) aged 21 years.
Mr. Heminway was a student in Elgin Academy, and will be remembered by those who were present at the closing exercises of that institution last June, as one of the six competitors for the prize offered for the best essay read on that occasion. By his gentlemanly deportment and thorough scholarship he had won the confidence and respect of both students and teachers.
