Williams was born in Maine in May 1844 to Jared Williams and Rosaline Jackins\, who were natives of New Brunswick\, Canada. He was the oldest of at least nine children and as a child\, he lived in Hodgdon in Aroostook County\, Maine\, where his parents were farmers. \nOn Oct. 12\, 1864\, Jewett enlisted in Company H of the 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment\, led by Col. Joshua Chamberlain and Maj. Ellis Spear. \nJewett’s regiment participated in several decisive actions that helped secure the Union victory during the later stages of the war\, including the Battle of Boydton Plank Road\, Battle of Hatcher’s Run\, Battle of White Oak Road and Battle of Five Forks. The 20th Maine was part of the Union force that accepted Gen. Robert E. Lee’s surrender at Appomattox Court House on April 9\, 1865. Following Lee’s surrender\, Jewett and his company marched to Washington\, D.C.\, where they underwent a “grand review” and were mustered out on July 16. \nHe married and lived in Minnesota for a while and then in Washington. later\, he moved to Oregon . \nOn April 14\, 1922\, he was admitted to the Oregon State Hospital. He was in poor health and suffering from “progressive senile dementia\,” according to his intake records. \nHe died three months later\, on July 17\, of arterial sclerosis. He was 78 years old. It is not known what became of Jewett’s wife and family\, but his remains were never claimed and he has no known relatives still living. \nRecently his remains were found in the basement of the long ago closed facility\, \nNow\, after nearly a hundred years in the custody of the Oregon State Hospital\, Jewett Williams is going home! \nHe will be buried with full military honors\, on September 17th \, 2016\, at the Togus National Cemetery in Maine. The Togus cemetery is among the Nation’s oldest National Veteran’s Cemeteries\, (1866)\, and has been closed to burials for many years. The VA has granted special permission to open the Cemetery\, so he can be interred with his Civil War brothers in arms.
