Artelius enlisted as a private in Company G, 32nd Regiment Ohio Infantry on Sept. 18, 1861. He enlisted for 3 years and then re-enlisted on Jan. 1, 1864 at Vicksburg, Mississippi. He participated in Sherman's March to the Sea, as did his brother Amos. Artelius was captured by the Confederates at Harper's Ferry, West Virginia, on September 15, 1862, and paroled later the same day. ("Memorandum from Prisoner of War Records"--Nat. Archives)
Civil War veteran. Served in Co. G, 32nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry. During "Uncle Billy's" "March To The Sea" Artelius's foot was injured & he claimed he marched the entire distance from Atlanta to Savannah with one boot on & one boot off.
In his company descriptive book, Artelius is described (age 24) as 5' 10-1/2" in height. His complexion is fair, his eyes are blue, and he has red hair.Artelius or "Doc" married Charlotte Brewster Goewey on 31 Dec. 1870. It was, as far as I can determine, his first marriage, her third. The ceremony was held in Pekin, IL.
After the war Artelius moved to Illinois to live with his Uncle Lemuel Liggett in Cumberland Co.. Soon, he moved to Tremont, Tazewell Co., Illinois. He was living with his brother, Simeon and family, at the time of the 1870 census & on Dec. 31, 1870 he married. Artelius or "Doc" married Charlotte Brewster Goewey on 31 Dec. 1870. It was, as far as can be determined, his first marriage, her third. The ceremony was held in Pekin, IL. He & Charlotte spent some time in the Dakota Territory but returned to Tremont, where he worked as a shoemaker.
