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.

(Research):Whitaker and Theodore
The following is from a newspaper item: "The death of the late John Whitaker Jayne ) of Lone Tree, Iowa has thrown an interesting sidelight upon the character of Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, through the medium of a letter found among Mr. Jayne's effects. It tells of the manner in which Mr. Roosevelt secured an increase in pension for Mr. Whitaker Jayne of Colorado, the son of John Whitaker Jayne. The two Jaynes, father and son, one a middle aged man, the other a mere youth, served thru the Civil War together in the same Regiment, until Whitaker Jayne was wounded at the battle of Shiloh, and was honorably discharged. It is with this arm that the Roosevelt story has to do.
When the President was on a hunting expedition in Colorado early during the present administration, he stopped for some days near the ranch owed by Mr. Jayne, and was an occasional visitor on his property. The first time Mr. Roosevelt came to the House, there was a demonstration in his honor by all the little folks in the neighborhood, armed with flags and flowers, singing and performing marches. Mr. Roosevelt had not met Mr. Jayne and had never heard of him, but as he came up he said, in his characteristic hearty manner: "I might have known an old soldier lived here. No one else would have arranged such a patriotic demonstration."
When the two men greeted, the president noted that Mr. Jayne extended his left hand. ''What is the matter with your right arm" he asked. The old soldier replied that it was shattered by a bullet at the battle of Shiloh & that the elbow was stiff. "Do you get a pension?" was the next query, and then, "How much?" "Don't you know, asked Mr. Roosevelt, when he learned the amount he said, "That if your right arm had been amputated above the elbow that you would have received a much larger pension?" Mr. Jayne knew it. The President continued, "So you have an arm & you haven't an arm, what you have is useless and you ought to get as much as you would if you didn't have it. Now I don't regulate the pensions, but I name the men "who do, and I am going to use my influence in seeing that you get the pension that you deserve."
The President did not forget his promise. Before he left he asked Mr. Jayne if he had any pension blanks, and receiving an affirmative reply, obtained one of them. The next Sunday Mr. Jayne went to church with his family. Mr. Roosevelt was there, and seeing Mr. Jayne on the other side of the building came over to him at once. "I sent the blank to Washington'', the President said, "And you can be watching out for your increase.
(A note of interest to this story by Leslie R. Jayne as related to him by Olive A. Jayne, the,wife of Morton Sterling Jayne who was the son of Whitaker, taken 25 Nov 1966.)

Mr. Roosevelt often visited the Jayne home after this time & became a staunch friend. At one time, before season, the Jayne family shot an Elk for meat and was having the first steaks prepared for dinner when who should arrive on the scene, unannounced , but the President himself. The meat was hurriedly hidden, but there was not time to prepare other sustenance and the President was invited to a steak dinner. After the meal President Roosevelt, with a twinkle in his eye said, "Mrs. Jayne, I believe that was the best beef I have ever eaten, now I wonder if I could have some to take back with me on my return." The Elk was hurriedly recovered and generous steaks were given the President. He warmly thanked Mrs. Jayne again for the beef dinner and the beefsteaks and with a twinkle in his eye left.
