In 1852 he came with his parents to the Kankakee Valley, and his youth was spent on the farm, and he received such education from the dis trict school as was common to the Illinois pioneers. But in his mother he had a better teacher than the undeveloped common schools could furnish, and at his majority we find him possessed of far more than average educa tional attainments. His mother was preparing him to enter upon the study of the law. He lacked but a few days of his majority when the nation ...was thrilled with the news that Sumter had fallen. The Kankakee Valley was ablaze with excitement. The sturdy sons of her patriot sires solemnly swore to avenge this insult to the flag. Among the first to enlist was Lewis T. Whipple, who entered the ser vice as a private, and by meritorious promotions he was soon advanced to the Captaincy of his company. A better soldier, a purer patriot, and a more manly man, never left the farm home for the soldier life. The writer of this sketch knew Captain Whipple from boyhood up to the time he closed his eyes in death, and knows whereof he speaks.
