RANK - INDUCTION: 2 CORPORAL RANK - DISCHARGE: PRIVATE ALLEGIANCE: UNION HTTP:/WWW.ITD.NPS.GOV/CWSS/SOLDIERS.HTM 111TH REGIMENT, NEW YORK INFANTRY ONLY 3 WEEKS AFTER ENTERING THE BATTLE (SEPT. 18, 1862), THE ENTIRE REGIMENT WAS CAPTURED AT HARPER'S FERRY AND SENT TO CAMP DOUGLAS, CHICAGO TO BE HELD IN CAMP (ON "PAROLE") UNTIL THEY COULD BE TRADED FOR CONFEDERATE PRISONERS. EXPLANATION OF PAROLE IN THE CIVIL WAR: (FROM HTTP:/WWW.EDHELPER.COM/ READINGCOMPREHENSION_35_106.HTML) WHEN THE CIVIL WAR BEGAN, THERE WAS NO REAL NEED TO BUILD PRISON CAMPS. PRISONERS WERE EXCHANGED RIGHT AFTER THE BATTLE WAS OVER OR WITHIN DAYS AFTER THE FACT. ONE PRIVATE WAS TRADED FOR ANOTHER, A GENERAL FOR A GENERAL, AND SO ON. IF THERE WERE NOT ENOUGH MEN OF A CERTAIN RANK TO EXCHANGE, THEY COULD BE PAROLED INSTEAD. THE SPECIFIC RULES FOR THIS WERE WORKED OUT IN THE JULY 1862 DIX-HILL CARTEL. A PAROLEE WAS UNDER PROMISE NOT TO RETURN TO THE BATTLE UNTIL THE RIGHT NUMBER OF MEN HAD BEEN EXCHANGED TO EVEN THE BALANCE. THE DIX-HILL CARTEL SOON FAILED DUE TO SEVERAL PROBLEMS. THE CONFEDERATE GOVERNMENT REFUSED TO EXCHANGE BLACK PRISONERS, SAYING THEY WOULD BE TREATED AS RUNAWAY SLAVES. ALSO, MANY SOUTHERN PAROLEES DID NOT HONOR THE AGREEMENT. THEY QUICKLY RETURNED TO DUTY, WHICH IS WHAT HAPPENED AFTER VICKSBURG. AN INTERESTING PATTERN BEGAN TO DEVELOP REGARDING EXCHANGED PRISONERS. THOSE FROM THE UNION OFTEN WENT HOME AFTER BEING EXCHANGED. THOSE FROM THE SOUTH OFTEN WENT BACK TO THEIR UNITS TO CONTINUE FIGHTING. THEY WERE IN IT FOR THE LONG HAUL, AND THEIR EXPERIENCE MADE THEM MORE VALUABLE. UNION SECRETARY OF WAR EDWIN STANTON DECIDED IN OCTOBER 1862, THAT PRISONER EXCHANGES WOULD STOP. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WAS WELL AWARE THAT THE CONFEDERACY HAD LIMITED RESOURCES, AND IF THE NORTH COULDN'T WIN ON THE BATTLEFIELD, THEY WOULD DO IT THROUGH DEPLETION. BY FORCING THE SOUTH TO HOUSE, FEED, AND GUARD PRISONERS, THEY COULD USE UP VALUABLE RESOURCES. SOON PRISON CAMPS WERE SPRINGING UP ALL OVER THE NORTH AND SOUTH. SOME OF THE PRISONS WERE FORTIFICATIONS, BUT MOST WERE FORMER JAILS, ALTERED BUILDINGS, FENCED BARRACKS, AND OPEN STOCKADES. MANY OF THE CONVERTED BUILDINGS IN THE SOUTH WERE TOBACCO WAREHOUSES AND FACTORIES. THEY OFTEN HAD POOR VENTILATION AND MINIMAL FACILITIES. ANDREW'S RAIDERS WERE KEPT IN SIMILAR BUILDINGS AT THE START OF THE WAR BEFORE BEING EXCHANGED. ON OCTOBER 4, 1862, GEORGE W. SALISBURY WROTE THE FOLLOWING TO E. B. MORGAN (WHILE ON "PAROLE" AT CAMP DOUGLAS IN CHICAGO): CHICAGO OCT 4 62 HON. E. B. MORGAN MY DEAR FRIEND ALTHOUGH UNDER PROSPECTS NOT QUITE AS FLATTERING AS WHEN WE PROUDLY MARCHED THROUGH THE STREETS OF AUBURN A FEW WEEKS AGO TO JOIN THE LAST GREAT ARMY OF THE NATION, YET OUR COURAGE IS JUST AS STRONG & OUR LOVE & AFFECTION FOR THE OLD FLAG IS STILL THE SAME, BUT IT IS RATHER HUMILIATING TO SEE THEM RAISE THE SACRED OLD BANNER EVERY MORNING & WE SITUATED UNDER THE PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCES. I HAVE ONLY TIME TO WRITE A WORD NOW AS MORGAN ASKED ME TO DIRECT HIS LETTER. HE BY THE WAY IS ONE OF OUR BEST BOYS. JOHN TICE HAS LEFT US. WE ARE GETTING ALONG VERY WELL, HAVE PLENTY TO EAT & THAT IS GOOD & NOTHING TO DO. IT IS UNHEALTHY HERE AS THE GROUNDS ARE VERY WET & MUDDY. I HAVE NOT BEEN VERY WELL SINCE WE HAVE BEEN HERE. OUR RAPID TRANSPORTATION & THE KIND WAS TO MUCH FOR ME. REMEMBER ME TO ALL MRS. AND MISS MORGAN. TELL HENRY I WILL WRITE. YOURS TRULY, GEO. W. SALISBURY THE REGIMENT WAS EXCHANGED SOON AFTER THAT AND THEY FOUGHT AT GETTYSBURG. ONE FOURTH OF THE REGIMENT DIED THERE. JOHNSON MCDOWELL HAD HIS LEG AMPUTATED. AFTER THE WAR, HE BECAME A DRUGGIST AT AURORA WITH GEORGE W. SALISBURY. HTTP:/WWW.NETACC.NET/~ORGANMAN/NYINFT/MAJBATL.HTML HTTP:/WWW.ROOTSWEB.COM/~NYCIVILW/GSHERMAN.HTML MAJOR BATTLES OF THE 111TH NEW YORK INFANTRY VOLUNTEERS "IT SEEMS THAT THE CALL TO VOLUNTEERS WAS DONE AT A TIME OF CHAOS AND CONFUSION. THE GOVERNMENT SEEMED UNPREPARED AND DISORGANIZED AT THE TIME THAT THE 111TH MUSTERED INTO SERVICE ON AUGUST 20, 1862. FOR EXAMPLE, ON AUGUST 21 THEY WERE ALL PUT ONTO RAILROAD CARS AND SENT TO WASHINGTON D.C. WHERE THEY WERE TO BEGIN BASIC TRAINING. THEY HAD NO WEAPONS ON THEM AT THAT TIME. THEN ON AUGUST 22, WITHOUT ANY TRAINING WHATSOEVER, THEY WERE ALL TRANSFERRED TO BARGES AND TAKEN DOWN THE HUDSON RIVER TO NEW YORK HARBOR WHERE THEY WERE AGAIN TRANSFERRED TO STEAMSHIPS. FROM THERE THEY WENT TO AMBOY, NEW JERSEY, WHERE THEY WERE ONCE AGAIN TRANSFERRED TO RAIL CARS, AND THEN TAKEN TO PHILADELPHIA AND THEN ON TO BALTIMORE." "IN BALTIMORE THEY RECEIVED NEW ORDERS TO BOARD STILL ANOTHER TRAIN THAT WOULD TAKE THEM TO HARPER'S FERRY, WEST VIRGINIA AND, UNDER MILES' COMMAND, THEY WERE TO FACE THE CONFEDERATE GENERAL, THOMAS "STONEWALL" JACKSON. DURING BATTLE ON SEPTEMBER 13, 1862 THE VETERAN (TRAINED) UNION TROOPS FLED THE SCENE, AND THEN PINNED THE SUBSEQUENT MISERABLE LOSS ON THE NEW RECRUITS OF THE 111TH WHO HAD RECEIVED NO WEAPONS, TRAINING, NOR SUPPORT BY THE TIME THAT THEY WERE LEFT TO FACE JACKSON. THEY WERE CAPTURED, IMPRISONED, AND THEN LATER PAROLED ON SEPTEMBER 16. ON SEPTEMBER 24, 1862 THE 111TH MARCHED TO ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND TO BOARD TRAINS TO CAMP DOUGLAS NEAR CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. THEIR DUTY IN CHICAGO WAS TO GUARD CONFEDERATE PRISONERS. ON NOVEMBER 19, 1862 THEY WERE SENT BACK TO WASHINGTON D.C. WHERE THEY FINALLY RECEIVED TRAINING. BY JUNE 24, 1863 THE GETTYSBURG BATTLE BEGAN TO BUILD WHEN THE 111TH AND OTHER REGIMENTS WERE SENT." MORE THE NEW YORK 111TH WERE MUSTERED INTO SERVICE ON AUGUST 21, 1982. THEY TRAVELLED FROM THE 22ND THROUGH THE 26TH, ARIVING IN HARPERS FERRY, VIRGINIA. THEY WERE ENGAGED IN PRELIMINARY TRAINING AND RECEIVING THEIR MILITARY EQUIPMENT RIGHT UP TO THE SIEGE OF HARPER'S FERRY. FIRST BATTLE WAS THE SIEGE OF HARPER'S FERRY, VA. 12-15 SEP 1862. ON SEPTEMBER 24, JUST TEN DAYS AFTER THE CULMINATION OF THE HARPERS FERRY BATTLE, THE 111TH PAROLEES BOARDED IN ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND A TRAIN WHICH BEGAN THEIR TRIP WEST TO CAMP DOUGLAS. THE CARS HAD PREVIOUSLY HELD CATTLE AND HAD ONLY RECEIVED A CURSORY SWEEPING. IN PITTSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA THE DIRTY CATTLE CARS WERE REPLACED WITH FREIGHT CARS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP. EACH CAR HELD FOURTY MEN CROWDED INTO THEM. THE MEN CHOPPED HOLES IN THE CARS FOR FRESH AIR AND SUNLIGHT. THEY ARRIVED AT NIGHT TIME IN CHICAGO. THE MEN REMAINED AT CAMP DOUGLAS FOR TWO MONTHS. THEY WERE RELEASED FROM THEIR INTERNMENT ON NOVEMBER 19, 1862. IT HOWEVER, WAS THE 26TH OF NOVEMBER BEFORE TRANSPORTATION WAS AVAILABLE TO TAKE THEM TO ENCAMPMENT AT CAMP CHASE ON ARLINGTON HEIGHTS ONLY A FEW MILES FROM WASHINGTON, DC. CASUALTIES WHILE CONFINED TO CAMP DOUGLAS IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS IS NOT REPORTED. SANITARY CONDITIONS WERE ATROCIOUS TO SAY THE LEAST. THE FOLLOWING FATAL DISEASES WERE REPORTED AT CAMP DOUGLAS IN 1862: TYPHOID FEVER,DIPTHERIA,SMALL POX,CHOLERA,CONSUMPTION (TUBERCULOSIS),DYSENTERY,MEASLES,PNEUMONIA. GETTYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA PRIOR TO THE GETTYSBURG CONFLICT THE 111TH HAD LEFT COMPANIES B & C, BACK IN VIRGINIA ON DETACHED DUTY LEAVING THE REGIMENT AT ABOUT 64 PERCENT OF THEIR FORCE. ACCORDING TO R.L.MURRAY'S BOOK THE 111TH HAD "95 MEN ***KILL***D OR SO SEVERELY WOUNDED THAT THEY WOULD EVENTUALLY DIE OF THEIR WOUNDS (54 KILLED AND 41 MORTALLY WOUNDED). OF THE 390 MEN AT GETTYSBURG OF THE 111TH THEY HAD LOSSES OF 249 MEN REPORTED. ONLY ONE OTHER UNION REGIMENT THAT FOUGHT AT GETTYSBURG HAD MORE FATALITIES THAN THE 111TH - THE 24TH MICHIGAN WITH 99 MEN KILLED OR MORTALLY WOUNDED."

M. Osborne & Co. fell yesterday afternoon and four men were injured. They are: George W. Salisbury, the well-known bass singer, of No. 1 1/2 Lewis street F. B. Harvey George Tuff James Farrell The elevator was loaded with reaper and mower wheels and, according to the best information obtainable immediately after the accident, the lift was within three feet of the top, the fourth floor, when the machinery gave way and it fell. The descent was not rapid but when the lower floor was reached, the elevator toppled over and precipitated the men and wheels into the pit below. The wheels fell on the men and it took some few minutes to get the injured out of the pit and to the floor above, where Dr. D. F. Armstrong, after a cursory examination, ordered Harvey removed to the City hospital. Salisbury, who ran the elevator, Tuff and Farrell were taken to their homes in carriages. Dr. Crevelling also arrived before all the men had been removed. No definite idea as to the extent of the injuries of the men could be obtained but all were badly bruised and it was said all were suffering from shock and injury to the spine. No explanation as to the cause of the accident was given by the employer. One Dead Later - Harvey died shortly after his arrival at the hospital." Source: http:/www.fultonhistory.com/Fulton.html |

(1907-1908) Exact date unknown Auburn Semi-Weekly Journal Still Reads the Advertiser Has been a reader of the paper for more than 60 years “George W. Salisbury of No. 1 ½ Lewis Street is surely worthy of honorable mention. For a space of over 60 years, he has been a continuous and ardent reader of the Auburn Journal and the Daily Advertiser. Mr. Salisbury’s father, David Salisbury, a prominent Whig, resided in the town of Ledyard. The elder Salisbury in 1856 became an ardent Republican and remained so until the end of his life. He came to Auburn and served his country in the war of the Rebellion. His son, George W. Salisbury, continued to read the Advertiser and from their personal ? Republican principles from which he has never deviated. Mr. Salisbury cast his first vote for John C. Fremont in 1856. Although beaten at that time, he wasn’t beaten as to his view politically and has continued to vote for the various Republican candidates who have ‘popped up serenely’? ever since. While with the army of the Potomac in Petersburg, Va., in 1864, George did not fail to do his duty. He cast his vote for Abraham Lincoln, the first martyr president of this country.” |

Wednesday August 19, 1914 The Auburn Citizen, Auburn, NY Married 52 Years Mr. and Mrs. George W. Salisbury will observe anniversary tomorrow “Mr. and Mrs. George W. Salisbury, who reside at No. 1 ½ Lewis Street are congratulating themselves that if they live until tomorrow they have reached the fifty-second anniversary of their marriage. Although for the first three years of their married life they did not see each other and were thus forced to dispense with what is commonly known as the honeymoon, Mr. Salisbury says that they have endeavored to stretch that important occasion over the remaining 49 years and from the smiles on the faces of himself and wife, they have succeeded admirably.” “Both Mr. and Mrs. Salisbury are natives of Aurora, and it was there 52 years ago, that they were married, separating the next day and for three years an occasional letter was all that either heard from the other. The reason for this uncommon action is the ____ of an interesting story.” “Fifty-two years ago in Aurora, Mr. Salisbury was engaged to Miss Carrie B. Smith, one of the most popular young ladies in the village. In the summer of ’62, when the call to arms was sounded throughout the country, Mr. Salisbury enlisted in the One Hundred Eleventh New York Infantry which was being organized by Gen. C. D. MacDougall. The regiment was ordered to start for the front on August 21 and after talking the matter over, the young couple decided that they would be married before it left, and on the evening of the 20th, they took the vows for better or for worse.” “The next morning, Mr. Salisbury left with his regiment for the front and until June 1866, when they were mustered out of service, a picture was the only sight which he had of his wife’s face. He went through the war with the same regiment and at the close hastened home to his bride.” “She in the meantime had been preparing for housekeeping and they settled down in Aurora where they remained for six years, when they removed to this city where they have lived ever since.” “Three children, one son and two daughters have come to them, Sherman, Helen, and Charlotte, the last of whom is married and lives in Webster, Mass. Mr. and Mrs. Salisbury leave on Friday morning for Webster, where they will spend a couple of weeks with their daughter, four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.” “Both Mr. and Mrs. Salisbury are active physically and mentally, the latter taking a great interest in the European war, and takes great delight in discussing the difference in the military tactics of today and those of ’62 – ’65.” |

Salisbury, late of Company K., 11th Regt. N.Y.I.Vols. Personally came before me, a Notary Public within and for the County and State aforesaid, Martin Maloney, aged 84 years, residing at Aurora, County of Cayuga and State of New York, well known to me to be reputable and entitled to credit, and who, being duly sworn, declares in relation to the aforesaid case as follows: I am now and have been a resident of Aurora, N.Y., ever since the year 1856 and was personally acquatinted with said soldier George W. Salisbury during his life time, commencing about the year 1861 when he was living at Aurora, N.Y., and worked as a clerk in the store of Richard Morgan; he was then unmarried and remained a single man until about the time of his enlistment in the Civil War when he married the above named claimant, who was then known as Caroline or Carrie Smith; after their marriage said Salisbury served in the Civil War until his discharge about the year 1865, when he returned home and he and claimant lived together some time at Aurora, N.Y., and then moved to Auburn, N.Y., where they lived together ever since without divorce or separation down to the time of the death of said Salisbury on or about September 18, 1915. I was also personally acquainted with the above named claimant from her early girlhood and also with her parents with whom she resided at Aurora, N.Y., until she was married to the above named soldier and his return from the Civil War as aforesaid. From my intimate acquaintance with the soldier and claimant I am well satisfied that neither the claimant nor the soldier were ever married until their intermarriage about the year 1862. I further declare that I have no interest, direct or indirect in this claim, and that I am not concerned in its prosecution. Subscribed and sworn to before me, this 27th day of September, 1915."
