  • J.R. Whippo Iowa First

    J.R Whippo
    Fell August 10th,at the battle of Springfield…
    Yes many a mothers darling son,
    Comes home no more-the murderous fray
    Was pitiless;Their young lives were
    Their country’s; on that fearful day…
    We scarcely name one, from the whole
    But bless the graves that cover all.
    A loyal Band-unparalleled,
    In their most consecrated fall,
    Two brothers went-brave-noble-true
    Now greets but one, the mother’s view…
    Thy death young Whippo,binds the chain
    That brings us peace and hope again.

    -L.A.F
    [Mrs.Lydia A. Folwer] Mt.Pleasant, Sept, 1st 1861
    Home Journal September 7, 1861
