Harrison Carroll Hobart
Class of 1842 - Born, Jan. 31, 1815, Ashburnham, Mass. Son of Phineas Hobart. At the age of fifteen he left his home and went to Haverhill, Mass., where he served an apprenticeship of three years in a printing office. While working at the printer’s case he became impressed with the idea that if he was to be successful he must have a more liberal education than could be obtained in a printing office, and in 1838 he entered Dartmouth, paying his expenses by teaching. Whileattending college he was principal at the Rochester Academy, in New Hampshire. On finishing his collegiate course he entered the law office of Bradford Sumner and Robert Rantoul, Jr., in Boston, and was admitted to the Suffolk bar in 1845. In 1846 Mr. Hobart went to Wisconsin and settled in Sheboygan, where he began the practice of his profession. In the autumn of that year he was elected a member of the territorial legislature, as the representative of Sheboygan and Washington counties. He was the first statesenator from his district, and assisted in framing the constitution of the state. He was Speaker of the House during the session of 1849. While serving in the assembly he moved from Sheboygan to Chilton. He was an unsuccessful candidate for Congress in 1850 and in 1856. In 1859 he received the Democratic nomination for Governor, but was defeated by Alexander W. Randall, the war Governor of Wisconsin. When the Civil War broke out Mr. Hobart organized a company called the Calumet Rifles, and, as its captain, wentto the front as part of the Fourth Wisconsin. He was advanced in command until at the battle of Chickamauga he was in command of the Twenty-first Wisconsin. During this battle his regiment became detached from the main line, and Colonel Hobart was made prisoner. He was taken to Atlanta and thence to Richmond, where he was confined in Libby prison. The story of the escape of a number of the prisoners from Libby is a matter of interesting history, and has been told in a pamphlet issued by General Hobart later inlife. After recovering from the effects of prison life, Colonel Hobart was given command of a new regiment, and at the head of this he went with Sherman on his march to the sea and up through the Carolinas. He had the grim satisfaction of marching his regiment into Richmond and around the prison from which he had escaped. At the close of the war General Hobart took up his residence in Milwaukee, and in the fall of 1865 was again nominated by the Democrats for Governor of the state, but was defeated by GeneralLucius Fairchild. He resumed the practice of the law and was for a time the attorney of the Pennsylvania Central Railway, to look after its interests in Wisconsin. Later he was appointed an agent of the United States Treasury Department in matters connected with the revenue. He served in the assembly in 1867. He was the father of the act creating the Milwaukee High School. Shortly after the close of the legislative session General Hobart opened an office in Washington as an attorney for the collection of claims,and was admitted to practice in the United States Supreme Court. He remained in Washington much of the time for several years, but always regarded Milwaukee as his home. He was elected alderman, and was chosen president of the council in 1876, and successfully championed the measure creating the Milwaukee public library, with which he was prominently connected as a trustee until a few months ago. He also took an active part in establishing the Milwaukee Normal School. He had served as president of the board ofhealth, and was for several years a member of the school board.

Mr. andMrs. David Underhill
Mr. and Mrs. David Underhill Died On The Same Day. He And Four Brothers In Civil War
Word was received recently of the death of Mr. and Mrs. David Underhill at their home in Little Rock, Iowa. They were at one time residents of Winooski in the Town of Lyndon, Mr. Underhill being a son of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Underhill Sr.
This family certainly did their bit in the War of the Rebellion as all the five sons enlisted as follows. Monroe Underhill enlisted in the 27th Ill. Infantry; Arnold Underhill enlisted in the 8th Wis. Infantry and died while in the service in 1863; Ervin Underhill enlisted in the 10th N. Y. Artillery; Nathan Underhill Jr. enlisted in the 8th Wis. Infantry and was wounded in battle; David Underhill enlisted in the 1st Michigan Sharpshooters. He ran away from home to enlist at the age of 17 years.
Mr. Underhill who was the last survivor of the family, and his wife passed away the same day. They are survived by two sons, Edward and Harry, both living in the State of Iowa.
Mr. Ervin Underhill resided for many years on the Underhill homestead at Winooski. He passed away 5 years ago and is survived by his wife and daughter Mrs. P. A. Wightman who still reside on the homestead.
Mrs. E. Underhill's Parents Also Patriots
The parents of Mrs. Underhill, widow of Ervin Underhill, were also patriots and workers for the freedom of the negro. The old log house the picture of which is given, was the home of Mrs. Underhill's parents. It stood in the fields near Winooski, and was one of the stations in the so called "Underground Slave Railroad." The hand marked with S.S. was what Mr. Walker received from the Confederacy for his work in helping the slaves escape into the north. S. S. means Slave Stealer. But it took more than branding to keep Mr. Walker from helping in the good work of freeing the negro. [Source: Plymouth Herald (31 May 1924) submitted by Diana Heser Morse]
