"Theodore F. Axtell. At the home of Mrs. Hannah Wilbur, at Abbotts, on Tuesday night at midnight, occurred the death of Theodore F. Axtell. He had been ill for some time, and had been a great sufferer.
Mr. Axtell had been a resident of Abbotts for a number of years and was respected by all who knew him. He leaves one sister, Mrs. George Steenrod of Illinois, who was here a few weeks ago to help care for him, but on account of sickness at home had to return there. A number of other relatives also survive to mourn his loss.
Chauncey and Louise Muncell Axtell, parents of the deceased, were living in Friendship when he was born, March 15, 1842. When the Civil war broke out the subject of our sketch was engaged in farming in Will county, Ill., and on February 27, 1864, he enlisted at Wilmington, that state, as a private. He was only eighteen, but possessed of a fine physique and made a splendid soldier. Among the battles in which he took part were Deep Bottom, before Petersburg, Fort Gregg and in the continued fighting up to Appomattox courthouse. At Deep Bottom he was wounded in the right hand by gunshot, and again near Darbytown Road in the right thigh. His military career was remarkable in that, in spite of his experiences, he was never the hospital, never captured, and never furloughed. Those who knew him in the army pronounced him ‘every inch a soldier.' One December 6, 1865, at Norfolk, Va., Corporal Axtell was given an honorable discharge. He was a member of Fair Oaks post No. 616, G. A. R., at Ischua.
Funeral services will be held at the church at Abbotts today at 2 o'clock, Rev. Carter of the Baptist church officiating. Burial will be in the Abbotts cemetery."
