Col. AJ Hawn of New Maysville, Putnam County, died yesterday and was taken to Indianapolis for interment. He was a gallant officer in the Union Army.  He enlisted in the 16th Regiment at Greencastle in April 1861 and was chosen Capt. of Co. K, known as the Asbury Guards. He was subsequently appointed Lt. Col. of the 115th regiment which he commanded at the siege of Knoxville and in the campaign of that year. He was a good soldier and leaves many friends to mourn his loss.
