Obituary:
Ezekiel J. Ingersoll was born in Lebanon, Ohio, November 18, 1837, being 88 years of age at the time of his death. For the past year or more he had been in feeble health and Wednesday he was stricken with paralysis. He never regained consciousness after the stroke came.
Capt. Ingersoll was one of the first settlers of Carbondale and often related many interesting incidents in connection with the growth of the city. He, with his wife who was Miss Harriet Lawrence, of Paris, came to this city shortly after their marriage in Paris, and Mr. Ingersoll engaged in the jewelry business. Early in 1862 he returned to Paris and enlisted in the 53rd, Illinois, known as the "Preachers Regiment," under the command of Col. J. Guest, and was made Captain of his company. This regiment was part of the Army of the Cumberaland command by Gen. Geo. H. Thomas, known to his comrades as "Old Pap Thomas," and was with Sherman's march to the sea. Capt. Ingersoll and his company participated in many of the more important battles of the Civil War. He was a personal friend of the late Gen. Jno. A. Logan and other leaders in that great conflict.
At the close of the war Mr. Ingersoll returned to Carbondale and again entered the jewelry business. He opened his store in the J. M. Campbell & Son building, later belonging to the firm of Richart & Campbell, on the corner of Washington and Main streets, the present location of the First National Bank. From there he moved to the present location of Entsminger's confectionery, thence to the Wilhelm drug store and then to the room now occupied by the C. E. Gunn jewelry store where he remained until he sold his business to Mr. Gunn on June 27, 1918, and retired from active business life.
A few years after Mr. Ingersoll opened his business here following the war, the late A. G. Shephard came to Carbondale and became his partner. The firm of Ingersoll & Sheppard was widely known over this section. They operated jewelry stores in Marion, Benton and Cobden in addition to their business i Carbondale. Mr. Sheppard died a number of years ago.
Capt. Ingersoll was a life-long Republican. In 1833 he was elected a member of the State Legislature on the Republican ticket. A number of years ago he served several terms as May or of the City of Carbondale. At one time he was a member of the board of trustees of the Southern Illinois State Normal University, serving as secretary of the board. He was also a member of the city school board for several years.
Mr. Ingersoll united with the Methodist church when a young man and has since lived a consistent Christian life. For many years he was superintendent of the First Methodist Cunday school and at the time of his death was a member of the board of trustees of the First Methodist church.
The deceased had been a Mason for more than sixty years and was a member of the Order of Eastern Star and of the White Shrine. Capt. Ingersol was active in the G. A. R. Post and had served as the Post Commander.
Mr. and Mrs. Ingersoll had no children of their own but had taken a number of children and young people into their home and cared for them. Mrs. George L. Bowyer of this city, who is spending the winter in Florida was taken into the Ingersoll home when a small child and was reared and educated by them. Also raised by the Ingersolls were James Brush and Abbie, Marion and Elizabeth Lawrence. Mrs. Ingersoll died at her home here twelve years ago. After the death of his wife, he married Mrs. Julia Carter.
A brother, Henry Ingersoll, preceded him in death.
In the passing of Capt. Ingersoll, Carbondale and Southern Illinois loses one of their best, most upright citizens. He took active interest in every enterprise that was for the advancement and betterment of the community. He was always ready to lend a helping hand to the unfortunate.
Capt. Ingersoll passed away at his home on South Normal avenue on Thursday morning, February 26, 1925 following a stroke of paralysis. His funeral was held at the First Methodist Episcopal church under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity. Dr. W. P. McVey, pastor of the church, officiated.
