Death of Captain Jacob F. Bandy
Though the deaths by the southern fever are confined to that section, the bereavement and sorrow are not. Last week the Enterprise noticed the death o W.W.C. Miller, formerly of Dodgeville. It is today our sad duty to chronicle that of Captain Jacob Fullenwider Bandy, at his home, at Memphis, Tennessee, Friday, October 11th after a sickness of five or six days. He had been quite well up to that time, and it was hoped would entirely escape, but a wise Providence has willed otherwise. Mr. Jacob F. Bandy was born in Indiana, December 6, 1836, and came in childhood with his father's family to the neighborhood of Kossuth, where his youth and early manhood were spent. When the war began he came home from Minnesota, where he had spent four or five years, and enlisted in the second Iowa cavalry. The pluck and honesty that had characterized him in civil life, brought friends and promotion in the sterner service in which he had entered. and he made a fine record for unfaltering bravery as a soldier, having led his company in forty-five hard fought engagements. After the war was over he returned to the south and settled near Memphis, married there, and lived there ever since, and leaves his wife and children there. His former neighbors and his old comrades will feel his death a personal bereavement, and will deeply sympathize with his aged mother, his relatives and family, in the loss of one so exemplary as a son, a brother, and friend. The above we clip from the Enterprise, of Mediapolis, Iowa, October 24 1878.
