Generation: 3

  1. 4.  William Small was born on 10 Dec 1842 in Granville, Milwaukee, Wisconsin; died on 18 Oct 1921 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin; was buried in Lake View Cemetery, Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

    Notes:

    William Small served in the Civil War with Company K, Wisconsin 24th Infantry from August 21, 1862 until June 6, 1865. He is buried next to his wife, Sarah Caroline Harmison Small, and his brother, Benjamin Small, at Lake View Cemetery, Eau Cla ire, Wisconsin.

    According to his pension papers, William Small came to Wisconsin in 1870 and was a boarder in the home of Isaac Harmison and Eunice Barrett Harmison when he first arrived in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. He and their daughter, Sarah Caroline Harmison , were married in 1871. William and Sarah, along with her parents, Isaac and Eunice Harmison, homesteaded farms in Barron, Wisconsin from 1875 to the early 1890's. Isaac and Eunice lived with William and Sarah at the time of their deaths.

    In the papers he was required to fill out in order to receive a pension through his service in the Civil War, the question was asked: "Have you ever before, or do you intend, to marry anyone else?"; to which William replied: "I have been marri ed to my beloved wife for more than 20 years and hope to continue to have the privilege for many years to come."

    When World War One broke out, the Ladies of the Salvation Army had written an article in the local newspaper bemoaning the fact that they were unable to knit sweaters and scarves 'for the boys overseas' as they weren't able to obtain knitting ne edles due to shortage of materials. William Small, by then an elderly man, took it upon himself to cut done a tree or two in his back yard and whittled more than 200 pairs of knitting needles, for which the good Ladies thanked him in a letter t o the editor of the Eau Claire Telegram that also featured a picture of him. I have a pair of the knitting needles my 2nd great grandfather made, in my possession.

    An apparently humble man, he purchased a large stone monument for his brother, Benjamin, when Benjamin died and had a loving memoriam to his brother engraved upon it. William provided for much smaller stones for himself, and his wife, Sarah Car oline, upon his own death. William and Sarah are buried side-by-side behind the large Small monument of brother, Benjamin, in Lake View Cemetery, Eau Claire County, Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

    William and Sarah retired from farming in the early 1900's, and retired to a large home on 7th Street in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. He spent his 'free time' doing carpentry work for himself and his neighbors. The home stayed in the Small/Snyder fa mily until his granddaughter, Evelyn Louise Snyder's marriage.
