Below information provided by Karen:
"On March 24, 1864 my relative J. W. Liveringhouse sent a letter to the editor of the Goshen Times concerning his capture and escape from the Rebel Prison at Danville, Va. At the end there was a P.S. that reads: 'I would say to the friends of James H. Venamon, James Newell and Marcus Wilson that I left them at Danville, Va. in good health and spirits.'"

James Newell served in the Civil War (Union).
In 1864 he was captured and a prisoner of war in Danville, Va., Libby Prison with 3 other gentlemen, James H. Venamon, Marcus Wilson and Jacob W Liveringhouse. *(Many THANKS to Karen for the names of men with James and prison name they were in).

Liveringhouse was appointed Census Enumerator in the spring of 1880, and held it until July of that year, after which he came to Juniata, Neb., and was engaged in dealing in agricultural implements in company with JAMES NEWELL until January 1, 1882, when he sold out and purchased his present business of B. W. Hammond.

Newell's uniform was found over 100 years later and his family donated it to a Civil War Museum in Georgia.
