Obituary:
Thomas B. Fawcett was born in Carroll County, Ohio, August 9, 1837, and died at Tipton, Iowa, April 8, 1895. He came to this county with his parents in 1856 and settled at Inland. On the 11th of August 1862, he enlisted in Co. C, 24th Iowa Infantry. He was strong and rugged and never in the hospital except when suffering from wounds. He was wounded in the head at Champion Hill, May 16, '63 and went to the Champion House Hospital and after his wound was dressed and he revived a little he assisted in caring for others worse wounded than himself. They were all taken prisoners and paroled, and about June 1st the hospital was broken up. Those who were able went home and the others went to regular hospitals. In August they were exchanged and he rejoined his regiment about Sept. 1st at Carrollton, La. At Cedar Creek, Va, Oct, 19, 1864 he was severely wounded in the left arm, having the elbow joint shot out, and was taken prisoner. The rebel surgeons decided his arm must be taken off but just as his turn came the advance of Sheridan's army broke up the hospital and his arm was never taken off and although crippled, was of much use to him for thirty-one years. He was discharged at Davenport, Iowa, May 31st, 1865, for wounds and although said to have died of lung trouble it should be said "he died of wounds" but few know how much he has suffered for many years from the effects of those two gun shots. He returned to his old home and took up the work he had laid down three years before. At the death of his father he took half of the homestead and as years went by bought a farm adjoining, built two barns, a good house and owned a good home. He has been for many years a consistent member of the M.E. Church. His life may be called a success. He laid his plans carefully and then lived up to his plans. He attended to his own business and did not molest others. Feb. 12, 1868, he was married to Miss Harriet Willey who with five children survive to mourn the loss of a kind husband and father. He was buried by Wm. Beaver Post. The funeral service was held in the M.E. Church at Inland. The sermon was preached by Rev. C. L. Gould, and the burial service of the Grand Army of the Republic at the grave, closing with "Taps" by Bugler Hawley. There were thirty of his old comrades in line and a large attendance of friends and neighbors notwithstanding the unfavorable weather.

Resolutions of Respect.
At a regular meeting of William Beaver Post held April 6, 1895, the committee on resolutions submitted the following which were unanimously adopted.
WHEREAS, Our Great Commander has in his own infinite wisdom permitted our comrade Thomas B. Fawcett to be mustered out of the Grand Army here on earth, to join the greater army on the other shore, therefore be it:
Resolved, That in his removal this Post has lost one of its most valued members. One whose courage and intrepidity in time of danger and inspiring to his comrades. One whose cheerful even character was a model for his associates. One whose temperance in all things was an honor to humanity.
Resolved, That in his death his wife has lost a true and loyal companion, his children a loving father, the community an honest citizen and the country one of its most patriotic defenders.
Resolved, That these resolutions be spread on the minutes of the Post, and the Adjutant be instructed to present a copy to the family of the deceased, and copies be given to the local papers for publication, and the charter of the Post be draped for thirty days.
