COPNER, James E. -- Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal 2-5-1897
35 years ago the 19th inst it will be remembered the memorable battle of Mill Springs, Ky was fought. The 10th Indiana regiment, which had a company from Montgomery County was one of the leading regiments in this engagement. Among those who were killed were James E. Copner and Amos K. Misner of Co B. It will also be recalled that the rebel General Zollicoffer was also killed. James Viers lived about 7 miles from the battlefield and next day after the battle he went over there and was present when gen. Zollicoffer was prepared for burial. A cake of soap about 8” long was used. After the washing the soap was cut in small pieces and given to those present, Mr. Viers receiving a piece. This same piece was exhibited at the Journal office Friday. After the war Mr. Viers moved to this county and settled on Black Creek. He, however, kept the soap while he lived and at his death his oldest son, William was presented with it who prizes it as a relic of the war.

- this is soooo awesome. Thanks so much to Boyd McN -- here is his note about this awesome historical find. "Karen, I finally got around to sending my great grandfathers Army Discharge. Sorry for the delay. There’s a really odd story about how I got this. Early in my research I had posted a question about George Ocheltree on a family forum. One day I got an email from a guy in Fort Wayne wanting to know if I was still interested in George Ocheltree and that he had his Army Discharge. I figured it was someone that had gone to the Ft. Wayne Library, found the information and wanted to cash in on his work. I decided to reply anyway. Turns out the guys sister-in-law’s husband was from Montgomery Co.. They had been “home” and bought an old book and the Discharge was in that book. The guys wife was the family genealogist and her sister gave her the paper to see what she could find out about George Ocheltree. The wife had died and he was cleaning up some of her stuff and the paper had fallen behind her credenza. He saw my post, contacted me and then ended up bringing the Discharge to me, he wouldn’t let me go get it or even let me meet him half way. I look forward to seeing these images on the Montgomery Co. page. Boyd" -- note: the backside is not filled out (thought it was interesting however and so wish every soldier had had his completed) but some of that information is on the (above) front page - WOW what a great historical find - blessings upon the man who got this to Boyd :)
