Lebanon Patriot, February, 4, 1897
James Muldoon, familiarly known as Uncle Jimmie, died at the home of Leonard Kleinhantz, three miles northeast of Lebanon, Tuesday night. He was about eighty years old and served three and one-half years in the army as a member of the Fortieth Indiana regiment.
He came to Boone county in an early day, and for many years was known to be one of the best ditchers in the county. It is said he carried the last hod of brick to finish the court house tower in 1858, and when he had done so, he took from his pocket a half pint flask of whiskey and drank from the scaffold. He was never married.
