VET of CIVIL WAR


WILLIAM S STOCKER is an honored veteran of the Civil War, in which he sustained a wound that sent him home when the struggle was still at its height. He has been a resident of Kosciusko County for more than half a century and the productis of the earlier years have enabled him to enjoy a comfortable retirement. . . .

He was born in Tuscarawas County , Ohio, May 1, 1842, a on of Andrew and Margaret (Strieby) Stocker. His parents were both born in Stark County ,Ohio. In the Spring of 1863 the parents and eight children came to Indiana and settled just ovine in Noble County, just opposite the farm of William Stocker. Andrew Stocker died near Webster, December 13, 1882, at the age of sixty-five.


Will S Stocker was reared in Ohio and in that state on August 17,1862, enlisted in Company K of the ninety-Eighth Ohio Infantry. He was sent to General Buell's army in the Kentucky campaign and only a few weeks after his enlistment took pae Battle of Perryville. where he was wonded in the left side. He was sent to a field hospital at Perryville, was later removed to Lebanon and from there to Louisville and after a partial recovery was given an honorable discharge. Dec 28, 1862 and sent home. He accompanied his parents to Indiana



The following article is found in the "Biographical and Historical
Record of Kosciusko County" by pp. 272-273.
"William S. Stocker resides on section 1, in Tippecanoe Township,
where he owns sixty-three acres of land. He came to this county in
the spring of 1863, with his parents and seven other children, who
settled across the road in Noble County, opposite to where he now
lives. The father died near Webster, on a farm he then owned, the
13th of Dec., 1882. He was born in Northampton County PA, and was
sixty-five years of age when he died. The mother, formerly Margaret
Strieby, is living on the old farm where the family first settled when
they came to Indiana. She is two years younger than her husband.
Both parents were born in Stark County, OH. The brothers and sisters of
our subject were the following--Nathaniel, who died in 1878, near
Aetna, Noble County; Eliza Jane married Alexander Miksch, and died in
1865, while her husband was in the army. William S. was born May 1,
1842, in Tuscarawas County OH, where he was reared to manhood. August
17, 1862, he enlisted in the United States service, and was honorably
discharged the 28th of Dec. 1862. He was a member of Company K,
Ninety-eighth Ohio Infantry, and served under General Buell, in KY.
He was discharged on account of a wound received at the battle of
Perryville. He was wounded by a minie ball in his left thigh, and was
taken to a hospital at Perryville; thence to Lebanon; thence to
Louisville. He was married Nov. 19,1868, to Miss Sarah C. Knepper,
who was born in Franklin County PA, Jan. 29, 1847. When she was a year
old her parents brought her to Noble County, where she was reared to
womanhood. Her father was born in Cumberland County PA, and is now
sixty-seven years old. The mother was born in Franklin Co. same
state, and is now sixty-five years old. They are living on the farm
where they first settled. Both parents are of German origin. Mr.
Stocker's grandfather died when William was five or six years old. He
has given considerable attention to bee-raising. In the spring of
1885 he had three swarms of bees, and they have now increased to
twelve swarms and produced 300 lbs. of honey. In the fall of 1885 he
sold two swarms, and in the following spring commenced with ten
swarms, and they have produced five or six hundred lbs. of honey. The
comb honey sells for 15 cents per pound.Politically he affiliates
with the Republican party."
