SUMMARY:Jewett Williams\, USA
DESCRIPTION:updated 11 AUG 16 @ 7:28 p.m. CDT   ajbuechel \n\n \n\nHonorable Transfer \nPvt Jewett Williams\nCivil War Veteran\n14 August 2016\n\n\n\nThe Patriot Guard Riders have been invited to Escort and Honorably Transfer Civil War Veteran Pvt. Jewett Williams to the Maryland PGR on his way to be with his Civil War Brothers in Maine.\n\nA Color Guard in Oregon State and hospital officials handed over Pvt Williams’ ashes to The Patriot Guard Riders to be escorted to his final resting place in Maine.\n\n“He was a son\, a brother\, a husband and a father. At the end of his life\, however\, he was alone and institutionalized. Oregon Senate President Peter Courtney said at the ceremony. “When he died\, nobody came. Nobody came to honor him. Nobody came to take him home. Nobody came. Until Today.”\n\nIn 2014\, the memorial was opened with the remains of patients unclaimed by relatives kept in urns labeled with names\, birth and death dates and embedded in a wall. A gap now exists where Williams’ urn had been. Over 300 other remains have been claimed.\nThe 20th Maine famously prevented a Union defeat at Gettysburg with a bayonet charge at Little Round Top. Williams\, of Hodgdon\, Maine\, joined in October 1864\, more than a year later\, but many engagements remained. His regiment was at the siege of Petersburg\, Virginia\, and in battles with the rebels right up to Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee’s surrender at Appomattox\, Virginia\, in April 1865.\n\nThe New Englanders were actively engaged with Grant’s army in the long siege of Petersburg of Civil War history at Virginia Tech. \nJewett shared a tent with his cousin\, Albert Williams\, who\, in a letter reflecting his rudimentary education\, described long marches in bad weather and sleeping in the open\, according to a family history published online in 2005 by Barbara Ann Estabrook. He also described a scorched-earth campaign. \n“i didnt have a chance to get a shot at a reb when we on the rode but i made the Cattle and Sheep and hogs suffer. You bet we killed every thing that we see and burnt everything as we went\,” Albert Williams wrote on Dec. 18\, 1864\, less than four months before he died of fever at age 21.\n\nJewett Williams was married and divorced\, then remarried and moved to Michigan\, then to Minnesota where he was a carpenter. His first child died after only 19 months. He and his wife had five more children and moved to Washington state\, where the couple separated. In the 1920 census\, Williams was listed as a widower in Portland\, Oregon.\n\nIn April 1922\, Williams was admitted to the Oregon State Hospital for the Insane in Salem\, as the hospital was then known. He died on July 17\, 1922\, at 78\, of cerebral arteriosclerosis.\n\nNone of Jewett’s descendants has been found.\n\nHis remains are scheduled to arrive in Maine on Aug. 22 and will be buried with Military Honors in Togus National Cemetery in Maine on Sept. 17. Pvt Jewett Williams will rejoin his comrades-in-arms in Maine.\n\nStaging: 7:30 AM\nPark & Ride Parking Lot\nJ.
