Notes for: Flavius Josephus HENDERSHOT

At the early age of fifteen, he enlisted for the Civil War and at sixteen, was mustered in as fifer. Musicians acted as stretcher-bearers in battle, so this was no sinecure. After a year, he was chosen by Colonel Dan McCook as orderly, and from that time was his constant companion, assisting him from the battle of Kennasaw Mountain where the Colonel's horse was shot, and he fatally wounded.

he helped to found the town of Hebron, being one of the original lot owners of the community.

He became a member of the legislature in 1873, and was on the committee planning the old State Capitol.
