CHAPTER XII
OUR SOLDIERS

    It is proper before these sketches are closed to pay a tribute of
 respect to our soldiers.  The space allowed will not admit of
 an account of the many brave acts performed by them in our
 late war.  Michigan received but little credit for the men who
 went from this section, as Menominee county was not organized
 at the breaking out of the rebellion, and our men rushed to oth-
 er localities where they could volunteer.  The greater number of
 them joined Wisconsin regiments, yet, while other states receive
 the glory of their heroic deeds, Michigan is proud of them.
 Want of space compels me to merely mention the name and reg-
 iment of those who went from or now live in Menominee county:
    John Devine, Charles Ackerman, John Ackley, Lieut. Dean
 Ring, 18th U.S. Reg.
    Lieut. Octave Tetroit, Gilbert Moreau, John Chappee, John
 Kittson, (killed hin Sherman's March to the Sea,) 17th Wis. Vol.
    Seargent George H. Kittson, Alfred Beach, Peter Durocha,
