     § 1955- ROWLAND GIBSON RODMAN, 8 (Samuel Rodman, 7; Elizabeth 
     
     Hazard, 6 ; Stephen, 5; Thomas, 4; Stephen, 3; Robert, 2; Thomas, 1), was born 
     
     January 10, 1828. At the beginning of the war he was engaged in the manufac— 
     
     turing business, in company with his father and brother, under the name of “S. 
     
     Rodman and Sons.” When the President made his second call for volunteers 
     
     during the Civil War, Mr. Rodman, following the example of his elder brother, 
     
     raised a company of men, mostly from his native town. He was appointed by 
     
     the governor, captain of the company. His first battle was one of the most fear— 
     
     ful of the war, and it was his last. Abbott, in writing of this battle of Freder— 
     
     icksburg, says, “ Eleven hundred and twenty~eight brave men were dead; nine 
     
     thousand and five writhing under tortures of wounds; and two thousand and 
     
     seventy—eight men missing, of whom probably many should have been reported 
     
     dead.” Captain Rodman received a fearful wound in the breast. He was carried 
     
     to Baltimore, and taken to the house of his sister, where he was carefully nursed 
     
     back to life. But he never entirely recovered from the efi'eéts of his wound. Few 
     
     men made greater sacrifice in fighting for his country than Captain Rodman. 
     
     From his youth he was not strong, and could never see fresh blood without 
     
     fainting. After the bloody carnage that he witnessed at F redericksburg this weak— 
     
     ness was taken from him. 
     
    

    
     Captain Rodman married, September 24., I8 56, Maria Macy, daughter of the 
     
     Hon. Nathaniel Briggs Durfee, and Harriot Greene, his wife. He now lives in 
     
     Ashland, Wisconsin.
