John BROSMAN departed this life at his residence near Bloomfield, Indiana on the 8th day of June, 1905, and the funeral services were held on the 9th, the Rev. W. H. WYLIE of the Bloomfield M. E. church officiating.
The deceased was born April 7, 1840, in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania and moved to Greene County, Indiana with his parents [Samuel and Catherine BROSMAN] in 1851, where he resided until the time of his death.
On the first call for volunteers in April 1861, he volunteered as a soldier. The first call for volunteers was filled so rapidly that the company in which he enlisted was not accepted when tendered to the Governor, but in May following was accepted and assigned to the 14TH REGIMENT OF INDIANA VOUNTEER INFANTRY, commanded by Col. Nathan KIMBALL, was afterwards Gen. KIMBALL.
He went into camp at Camp Vigo, near Terre Haute, on the 7th day of May 1861, and on the 7th day of June thereafter, was mustered into the service for three years, this being the first regiment mustered into the three years service in this State. Later he re-enlisted as a veteran and served until the close of the war.
On the 11th day of July 1861, he left Indiana with his regiment for West Virginia, and was present at the battle of Rich Mountain. He was in West Virginia until March 1862, when he entered upon the Shenandoah Valley campaign with the first battle at Winchester. On July 11th, 1862, he with his regiment joined the army of the Potomac, at Harrison Landing on the James River, Va. He continued in the second corps of the army of the Potomac until April 23, 1865 when he was transferred to the Veteran Reserve Corps. He was in all the battles in which the Second Corps participated from Jul 1, 1862, to and including Spotsylvania courthouse at which time he was severely wounded. He served in CO D 14TH REGIMENT until that regiment was mustered out of service by reason of expiration of term of service, when he was transferred to 29TH REGIMENT OF INDIANA VOL. INFY. and later was assigned to CO. B of 29TH REGT reorganized. He was always present for duty, and always at the forefront of every battle. Among the battles in which he participated in addition to those already named were, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorville, second battle of Bull Run, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, together with many other engagements of less note. He was gallant and faithful in all his years of service.
On returning home after his long service he resumed the position of a faithful and upright citizen and continued thus to the end. His occupation was farming.
On the 28th day of February 1864, while home on veteran furlough, he united in marriage with Harriet HUNTER, formerly Harriet MYERS. To this marriage were born two children, Nancy J., who died at the age of 18, and Susan E. , who married Thomas TERRELL. She died at the age of 23 leaving one child Elmer K. TERRELL, who is now fifteen years of age. Mr. BROSMAN'S wife died Sept 25, 1872. On the 27th day of January 1874, he united in marriage with Elizabeth A. BURCH, who survives him.
There were born to this marriage, five children: Charles W., who died in infancy, and four who survive him. They are Alvin and Albert, aged 28 years; Ezra, aged 26 years, and Cynthia TIMMONS, wife of Ennis TIMMONS, aged 24 years.
The deceased united with the Protestant Methodist church about the year 1850 and lived a continuous upright Christian life, respected by all who knew him.
It can be truthfully said of him, that he fought a good fight and kept the faith, as a patriot and gallant soldier, as well as a follower of the Great Master; and that henceforth there is laid up for him a crown of righteousness when the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give him.
