Samuel D Gault a representative farmer of the town of Bloom, where he has resided for many years, is one of the loyal and patriotic sons of the republic who went forth in defense of the Union at the time of the crucial period of the Civil war, in which his record is one of long and Gallant service. Mr Gault is a native of Allen Co., IN where he was born Aug 22, 1845, and he is a son of John and Margaret (Davis) Gault, both of whom were born in Ohio, where they were reared and where their marriage was solemnized. As a young man the father followed the trade of blacksmith, and in 1842 he removed to Allen Co., inwhere he reclaimed a farm from the forest and where both he and his wife passed the residue of their lives, secure in the esteem of all who knew them. He was a Whig in his political affiliation and both he and his wife were worthy and consistent members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. They became the parents of three children: Elizabeth is deceased; the subject of this sketch was next in order, of birth; and William T. of the Eleventh Regiment of IN Cavalry, died in the army hospital at Jacksonville, Ind. After the death of his first wife John Gault married Sarah Steel, of Adams Co.,Ind., and of their three children two are still living, ---George, a resident of Allen Co.,Ind., and James, who resides in Adams Co.,that state. Samuel D Gault found in the pioneer schoolhouse in the vicinity of his home his early educational advantages, which were limited in scope, as a matter of course, proving, however, the basis upon which he has reared a substantial superstructure of knowledge and wisdom gained in the effective school of practical experience. He was but nine years of age at the time of his father's death, and he then went to the home of his paternal grandmother, in Ohio, where he was living at the outbreak of the Civil War. His youthful patriotism was quickened to responsive protest and in 1861, when he was but fifteen years of age, he enlisted as a private in Company B, Sixteenth regiment, Ohio volunteer infantry, which was recruited in Wayne Co.,. William Spangle was captain of Company B, and John DeCoursey was colonel of the regiment. Mr. Gault proceeded with his command to Kentucky, the regiment being assigned to the Thirteenth Army Corps, with which he took part in the engagements from Tazewell, Tennessee, onward during the historic retreat of Col. George W. Morgan. in the autumn of 1862 the regiment was sent to Memphis and thence down the Yazoo River, participating in the sanguinary battle of Chickasaw Bluff. Thereafter the command served under General Grant and took part in the battles of Thompson's Hill, Champion Hills, Black River Bridge, the siege of Vicksburg and battle of Jackson, after which last engagement the regiment returned to Vicksburg, proceeding thence down the river to New Orleans, then to Brashier City, La., from which point it proceeded on a march of 120 miles, to Opelousas, that state, and then back to New Orleans, whence the command was sent to Metagorda Bay, Texas, where it remained in camp three months. Returning to New Orleans, it was soon afterward sent up the Red River, returning in season, to take part in the battle at Morganzia Bend La. in October 1864, the regiment returned to Ohio and was mustered out, at Camp Chase, in Columbus, where Mr. Gault received his honorable discharge, having suffered severely from rheumatism and other ailments. Soon after his discharge he came to Richland Co.,Wis., for a visit, returning to in in 1865, to visit his old home. While there he reenlisted, becoming a member of Company H, One Hundred and Fifty-second Regiment of in volunteer infantry with which he went to Harper's Ferry and later to Winchester, doing guard duty until Aug 30, 1865, when he again received and honorable discharge. He then returned to Richland Co., WI, where he was employed at farm work during the ensuing two seasons, in Richland Township. in 1868 he located in Bloom Township, where he has since resided, except for one year passed in Kansas. He is the owner of a well-improved farm of one hundred and sixty acres, about one half of which is under cultivation. The farm bears marked evidence of thrift and good management, and the substantial and attractive buildings on the place were erected by the present owner. He is engaged in diversified farming, stock-growing and dairying and his efforts have been attended with success in each department of his enterprise. Mr. Gault is one of the popular citizens of Bloom, and he here served sixteen years as justice of the peace and eight years as assessor, having also held other local offices. He is aligned as a loyal supporter of the Republican Party and is an appreciative and valued member of The Grand army of the Republic. in 1867, Mr. Gault married Miss Sarah Shambaugh, of Richland Co.,Wis., who died in the following year, as did her infant child. in 1874 Mr. Gault was married to Miss Susan James, of Carroll Co.,O., and she was summoned to the life eternal in June 1898, being survived by six children, namely: Josephine, who is the wife of Lester Henning, of this Co.,; Jay, who remains at the parental home; Winnifred, who is the wife of Wayne Beaty of Woodstock, this Co.,; Emmett, who is a farmer of the town of Bloom; Pearl, who is the Wife of William Clark, a successful teacher at Eagle, this Co.,; and Wilbur who remains at the parental home. The maiden name of Mr. Gault's present wife was Anna Nelson, and she was born in Christiania, Norway. They have no children.

Samuel D Gault a representative farmer of the town of Bloom, where he has resided for many years, is one of the loyal and patriotic sons of the republic who went forth in defense of the Union at the time of the crucial period of the Civil war, in which his record is one of long and Gallant service. Mr Gault is a native of Allen Co., IN where he was born Aug 22, 1845, and he is a son of John and Margaret (Davis) Gault, both of whom were born in Ohio, where they were reared and where their marriage was solemnized. As a young man the father followed the trade of blacksmith, and in 1842 he removed to Allen Co., inwhere he reclaimed a farm from the forest and where both he and his wife passed the residue of their lives, secure in the esteem of all who knew them. He was a Whig in his political affiliation and both he and his wife were worthy and consistent members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. They became the parents of three children: Elizabeth is deceased; the subject of this sketch was next in order, of birth; and William T. of the Eleventh Regiment of IN Cavalry, died in the army hospital at Jacksonville, Ind. After the death of his first wife John Gault married Sarah Steel, of Adams Co.,Ind., and of their three children two are still living, ---George, a resident of Allen Co.,Ind., and James, who resides in Adams Co.,that state. Samuel D Gault found in the pioneer schoolhouse in the vicinity of his home his early educational advantages, which were limited in scope, as a matter of course, proving, however, the basis upon which he has reared a substantial superstructure of knowledge and wisdom gained in the effective school of practical experience. He was but nine years of age at the time of his father's death, and he then went to the home of his paternal grandmother, in Ohio, where he was living at the outbreak of the Civil War. His youthful patriotism was quickened to responsive protest and in 1861, when he was but fifteen years of age, he enlisted as a private in Company B, Sixteenth regiment, Ohio volunteer infantry, which was recruited in Wayne Co.,.
