A cosy home life was broken into when the young husband and father answered the call for volunteers and served in the 29th Iowa to the close of the war. His family grew to 10 children-8 of whom are now living. They are: Mrs. Stringer of Pacific Junction, IA, Mrs Crawford of Lincoln, KS, Mrs Wixon of Canada, Mrs Mary Addleman of Eugene OR, and Mrs Krout and Mrs Leach, both of Sheridan, WY. 2 sons, George Townsend and W.L. Townsend preceeded their father in death. Mrs Mary Townsend died in Sheridan in 1908.
About 18 months ago, Mr Townsend married again to a Mrs Linnt, who survives him. He united with the Methodist Church in youth and was a true friend and loyal citizen. One more of the valiant Grand Army of the Republic has taken his place in the shining ranks of the Army of God."
