John Baptist Clunk
John
Baptist Clunk was one of the 15
children born to Anthony Clunk &
Anna Elizabeth Elder of Adams Co,
PA.The Clunk family moved from
PA about 1825 to Columbiana Co., OH,
based on the birth locations of
John’s siblings.
About
1846 in Ohio he married Julianna
Kibler, d/o Adam Kibler &
Catharine Comer from Mt Calvary
Shenadoah, VA.Her
family moved from VA to Carroll Co.,
Ohio during the 1830’s.
John
& Julianna had 7 children, the
oldest being James (my 2nd
Civil War Veteran - see above).
On May
12, 1864 John signed up for the Ohio
National Guard. This group became
Co. K of the 143rd
Regiment of the Ohio Infantry.The
group was organized for 100 day’s
service under Col. Wm. H. Vodrey, it
at once moved to Washington City.The
Regiment performed garrison duty
until June, when it was placed in
the trenches at City Point and
afterwards Fort Pocahontas.It
was
relieved the last of August and
returned to Ohio for muster out on
Sept. 12, 1864.
Records
indicate that August 3 -7, 1864 John
was in the Fort Hospital at Wilson’s
Wharf, VA with a Bilious disease
& Malaria.
August
18, 1864 he was in Post Hospital,
Fort Pocahontas, VA with
constipation & Malaria.
A story
taken from his pension files reads
as follows:On
the march between Washington City
and Ft. Slocum, he came down with
Rheumatism and was unable to carry
his gun or knapsack.He
could not walk.His
Major gave up his horse and took him
to the hospital at Ft. Pocahontas
where he remained until his
discharge.He
served as a hospital nurse for a
short time, but was unable to rejoin
his regiment.He
mustered out Sept. 13, 1864.He
attributes rheumatism to rain at
Camp Chase in Columbus, where the
water was inside of the tents and
the soldiers were required to sleep
on the wet ground.
His
military pension was granted in 1887
because of his rheumatism.
On a
trip to OH approximately 10 years
ago, Gene & I visited a rural
cemetery and located the grave of
Julianna Kibler Clunk.The
only
thing to indicate that John was
buried there was a metal flag maker,
but the marker was for WWII, which
we knew was incorrect.
Julianna
had passed away in 1884, and a year
later John married a widow Elizabeth
Swogger Degarmo Haines.When
John died in 1901, Elizabeth
collected his civil war pension
until her death in 1918, but she is
buried next to her first husband,
Mr. Degarmo.Pension
records indicate she was almost
penniless, thus the reason for no
tombstone for John Clunk.
With the help of the
Lisbon City Cemetery officials, I was
able to contact the Veterans
Administration and they prepared a
marker for John Clunk, which the son
of the Lisbon City Cemetery
administrator placed for me.He
provided photos of the plaque, so now
the graves of both of my 3rd
Great Grandparents are marked.
