DEATH OF ANOTHER VETERAN.
Dr. J. A. Edmiston Answers the Last Roll Call After a Sickness of Several Weeks.
At 6 o'clock yesterday evening Dr. J. A. EDMISTON died at his home on North Monroe street, aged 63 years, 1 month and 26 days, of enlargement of the heart.
John A. Edmiston was born Feb. 6, 1839, in Logan county, O. He attended school at Bellefontaine, O., and Paris, Ill., and began teaching when 17 years old. In 1857 he came to this county where he studied medicine under Drs. GOODBRAKE and his uncle, T. K. EDMISTON, and later attended medical college in Chicago, and then returned to Ohio where he enlisted for three months in the war, and at the end of this time joined the 20th Reg. Ill. Vol. and became hospital steward under Dr. Goodbrake, of Clinton. Soon after the battle of Ft. Donelson he was made 1st lieutenant of Co. E., and went on duty the morning of the Shiloh battle. Three months later he was made captain and held that position during the rest of the war.
After the war he returned to Clinton and again attended a medical college in Chicago, graduating February 24, 1866, and became a partner of Dr. T. K. Edmiston until 1870, when he engaged in the drug business for five years. From that time until his last sickness began he practiced medicine. December 17, 1867, he was married to Miss Mary HAYNIE, who survives him. One daughter, Mrs. Kate RAHT, lives at Chattanooga, Tenn. He was a member of the Presbyterian church and of the Masonic order. Politically he was a Republican. Funeral will probably be held tomorrow afternoon at the home.
