  • Notes 
    • Enlisted in Company B, Iowa 8th Infantry Regiment on 12 Sep 1861. Mustered out on 3 Jul 1862 at Davenport, Iowa.
      Eighth Infantry -- Cols., Frederick Steele, James L. Geddes;
      Lieut.Cols., James L. Geddes, John C. Ferguson; Majs., John C.
      Ferguson, Joseph Andrews. This regiment was organized in the
      latter part of the summer of 1861, and was mustered in Sept.
      Soon after its organization it went to St. Louis, from which
      place it moved to Syracuse, where it joined Fremont's army in
      pursuit of Price's forces and operated in southwestern
      Missouri, losing heavily through sickness. It returned to
      Sedalia in November and remained there until ordered to join
      Grant's forces in Tennessee the following spring. Col. Steele
      was appointed brigadier-general and Lieut. Col. Geddes
      succeeded to the command, Maj. Ferguson being commissioned
      lieutenant-colonel, and Capt. Joseph Andrews of Co. F was made
      major. The regiment participated in the battle of Shiloh,
      fighting 10 hours on the first day, repelling attack after
      attack, and, with the battery which it was supporting,
      inflicting terrible punishment upon the enemy. It was the
      last to leave the advanced line of the army, being surrounded
      as it attempted to withdraw and compelled to surrender. Out
      of 650 men engaged, it lost 64 killed, 100 wounded, and 47
      missing. The 8th, 12th and 14th Ia. formed four-fifths of the
      little force that held back ten times its numbers at the close
      of the first day at Shiloh, giving Buell time to bring up his
      forces and snatch victory from defeat. Entirely cut off, they
      fought until they could fight no longer, and threw down their
      arms only to see many of their number shot down in cold blood
      after they had surrendered as prisoners of war. The officers
      above the rank of lieutenant were sent to Selma, thence to
      Talladega, returned to Selma soon afterward, three months
      later to Atlanta, thence to Madison until Nov. 7, when they
      were sent to Libby prison, Richmond, and were paroled a week
      later at Aiken~s landing. The lieutenants and enlisted men
      were sent to various prisons in Alabama and suffered the
      miseries and privations so common to southern prisons. A few
      of the 8th who escaped capture went into the "Union Brigade" a
      consolidated regiment rather than a brigade, and took part in
      the Tennessee and Mississippi campaigns, distinguishing itself
      at Corinth. The regiment was reorganized at St. Louis early
      in 1863 and made an expedition to Rolla, after which it joined
      Grant's movement upon Vicksburg. It took part in the battle
      of Jackson, participated in the assault at Vicksburg on May 22
      and also in the siege. It accompanied the army to Jackson,
      and after the evacuation there engaged in the pursuit of the
      enemy. It then went into camp at Vicksburg where Lieut.-Col.
      Ferguson died of disease. A short march to Brownsville was
      the only movement of interest until early in November, when
      the regiment moved to Memphis, thence to Lagrange and
      Pocahontas, where it remained until ordered to Vicksburg to
      take part in the Meridian raid. Soon after that event most of
      the command reenlisted and visited Iowa on veteran furlough.
      Returning to Memphis, it performed provost guard duty during
      1864 and the early part of 1865, its most notable work being
      the repulse of Forrest, who made an attack on the city Aug.
      21, 1864, the regiment being assisted by the "Gray-beard"
      regiment from Iowa. Early in March, 1865, the regiment moved
      to New Orleans and proceeded to Mobile bay, where it took part
      in the assault upon Spanish Fort and captured several hundred
      prisoners. This assault was made by a brigade commanded by
      Col. Geddes. Maj.Gen. Steele, the former colonel of the 8th,
      won high praise for the manner in which he conducted his part
      of the siege of Mobile, and Geddes' assault on Spanish Fort
      was conceded to be the most brilliant performance of that
      campaign. The regiment moved to Montgomery shortly after and
      served until mustered out. The original strenght of the
      regiment was 921; gain by recruits 106; total 1,027

      Author: Progressive Men of Western Colorado: Chicago: A.W. Bowen & Co., 1905

      Since 1889 Whitaker Jayne, of near Raven, Garfield county, has been an
      industrious and progressive resident of Colorado, and during the whole of the
      time has been devoted to the interest of the state and active in the promotion of its welfare. He is a native of Wayne county, Pennsylvania, born on June 25, 1842, and the son of John W. and Deborah (Early) Jayne, the father born in the state of New York and the mother in Pennsylvania. They began their domestic life in Pennsylvania in 1841. In 1854 they moved to Iowa, and when the Civil war began both father and son joined Company B, Eighth Iowa Infantry, in defense of the Union. The son served until discharged on account of disabilities incurred in the line of duty. At the battle of Shiloh the father was taken prisoner, but was soon afterward discharged through the Confederate lines because of his physical disability and weakness. The late years of his life have been devoted to the fire insurance business at Lone Tree, Iowa. Whitaker was the only child born in the family, and he and the father survive the mother, who died on August 25, 1842. She belonged to the Baptist church, as the father does now. He is also a member of the Grand Army of the Republic and the Republican party. The son attended the public schools at Muscatine, Iowa, and also an academy. He remained with his father, working in his interest, until he reached the age of twenty-one, then began farming for himself in Iowa. From 1854 to 1877 he lived in that state, then moved to Franklin county, Nebraska, but meeting with no sufficient success in his efforts there, transferred his energies to Sherman county, Kansas. In 1889 he came to Denver, and locating about seven miles northwest of Denver, began ranching and raising stock, which he continued in that neighborhood eleven years. In 1900 he came to his present location and settled on the ranch that he now owns and operates. It comprises one hundred and sixty acres, one hundred and fifteen of which can be cultivated, and raises good crops of hay, grain and vegetables. He also raises numbers of
      cattle which form a profitable industry. Mr. Jayne was one of the original
      incorporators and has been one of the main promoters of the eighteen-mile high line ditch, and is the present road overseer of his district. He belongs to the Grand Army of the Republic, and in politics gives his allegiance without stint to the policies and candidates of the Republican party. On February 25, 1864, he united in marriage with Miss Alice Budlong, a native of Oakland county, Michigan, the daughter of Milton S. and Guli A. (Alvord) Budlong, natives of New York state. Leaving their native state, they lived for a time in Michigan, then in Iowa. In June, 1854, they moved to Nebraska, and in 1872 returned to Iowa.

      The father was a lawyer in active practice, and during the later years of their lives both were members of the Presbyterian church. The mother died on February 8, 1884, and the father on December 18, 1903. Their four children all survive them: Susan A., wife of Ferdinand Furst, of Adair, Iowa; Mrs. Jayne; Augustus, living at Salem, Oregon; and Cassius E., at Salem, Oregon. Mr. and Mrs. Jayne have had eight children. A son named Ferdinand has died, and the seven living are: Julius E., at Camden, New Jersey; John W., at home; Mary A., wife of Ernest Douglas, at Sunnyside, Washington; Deborarh E., wife of J. Ernest, at Raven, Colorado; Milton R., at home; Gulie, wife of Edward Martin, at Toppenish, Washington; and Morton S., at home.
