Biographical Sketch excerpts for Amelia's husband:
HENRY K. ADERTON
The subject of our sketch was nine years of age when he came with his parents to Calhoun County. He passed his youth on his father's farm, continuing to live with his parents up to the time of his marriage, when he settled on a part of the home farm. He was married October 7, 1858, to Miss Amelia J. Gilbert, whose birth occurred in the State of Indiana. Their marriage has been blessed with eight children, three of whom are living: viz., Henry M., married Miss Lizzie E. Douglas, and has two children, viz., Joseph L. and Gilbert K.; Mary A., who married T. J. Sperry and resides at Helena, Mont., is the mother of one child—Lyman; Emma J., who resides with her parents.
Mr. Aderton enlisted August 12, 1862, in Company C, Ninety-seventh Illinois Infantry, and served faithfully until May 30, 1865. He figured in a number of important engagements, among which were the battle of Champion Hills; siege and capture of Vicksburg, and Ft. Blakely. He was severely injured in a railroad collision during the war, that has since resulted in paralysis of the lower limbs and he now draws a pension of $72 per month. He was honorably discharged on May 30, 1865, for physical disability, and immediately returned home to devote his attention to farming once more. He resided on his first farm up to 1887 and then bought property and now lives retired from active work in Batchtown. He is a member of Calhoun Post, No. 448, G. A. R., and both he and his wife belong to the Methodist Episcopal Church. A view of his pleasant home will be found elsewhere in this volume.
