CIVIL WAR SERVICE

In the Fall of 1862 at Dry Fork, John enlisted, along with his father James and his older brother William James to fight for the Confederacy. John served in Co. E of the 34th Virginia Cavalry under Col. W. A. Witcher until the war ended at Appomattox in April, 1864. He was about 16 years old when he became a soldier.

34th Virginia Cavalry (CSA)was probably the most distinguished confederate unit in West Virginia history. The 34th Virginia Cavalry's core company, Company A, was formed in Wayne County.

Buchanan County Men in the Civil War: "The 34th Virginia Cavalry came into being in September, 1861. Early in the war, the 34th operated mostly in the region between Grundy and Piketon (Pikeville). Many times,the 34th won the distinction of being the advance guard on operations involving numerous units, including the Confederate armies advance into Pennsylvania.

The 34th fought an engagement within 2 miles of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in late June, 1863. The 34th then fell back and occupied the city of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, before being called to Gettysburg. The East Cavalry Battlefield is generally credited as a Union victory because the goal of the Union Cavalry to delay Gen. J.E.B. Stuart's Cavalry on July 3rd was accomplished. On the morning of the 4th of July, 1863, it was Lt. Col. Vincent Addison Witcher of the 34th VA and General Stuart who walked the battlefield. The Western Virginia men of the 34th, along with only a portion of the rest of the Brigade, had fought the 1st New Jersey, 3rd Pennsylvania, 5th Michigan, and the 7th Michigan led by newly promoted Gen. George Armstrong Custer. The 5th Michigan was armed with the 7 shot Spencer repeating rifles.

Witcher later wrote: "the 34th Battalion, which had alone rallied with me, opened upon the 5th Michigan, sweeping down its ranks with a most deadly fire, killing its Major, capturing its colors, and covering the ground with the killed and wounded men and horses of the 5th Michigan. I was within 30 yards and saw the Major fall, a gallant and heroic man he was."

General Stuart said "the34th had made the worse massacre of Alger's command and had piled more dead and wounded men and horses on as little space as he had ever seen on any field." The 34th had dismounted that morning with 332 men. After the war, Witcher wrote: "I shall never, no never, forget that eventful night when accompanied by one courier, my Adjutant Edwards and Sergeant Major, both being wounded, I full of grief and bitterness, rode to the barns in our rear and saw with tears in my eyes, my brave fellows from away over the mountains in West Virginia, laid out in windrows, torn and bleeding. I shall never forget that night or the next mornings parade when I could muster but 96 enlisted men. Brave fellows, not a slave holder among them."

[John Whitaker in his 1923 Civil War pension application he said, "I was in the battle of Gettysburg three days and nights, and if I never performed any other military service for the state of Virginia, this baptism of fire and shell should certainly be sufficient credit for my eligibility rolls, at least it seems so to me after 57 years have passed by. I am old and worn out and tired. Have perhaps lived beyond the allotted time already, and if the pension does not come pretty soon. I will not need it."]

The 34th was also given the honor of leading Lee's Army back into Virginia. "The Virginians, and they were almost all that, whether from the counties of Southwest Virginia or the mountain counties of the new state of West Virginia, left knowing they had fought with honor."

Notes:

He kept bees. Sold honey. Buried his money in jars around the yard. Nancy Whitaker Tate would go with him when he would go get his jar of money.

He would sit on front porch with a fan and visit with folks that came up the road. He kept a gallon jar of his "medicine" of rock candy and whiskey. He would take a sip when for medicinal purposes.

He would bake potatoes in the fireplace ashes and pop popcorn in the fireplace. This was a real treat for the grandchildren.

At Christmas, Nancy Whitaker Tate, his granddaughter, would wake up around 4 AM and go up to house. It was a game to see who was going to wake up first. He was always up when NWT got there. His nickname for her was "Shikepoke."

She spent most of her time with them as a child that she had her own bedroom with a feather mattress.

He would ride his horse and Nancy Whitaker Tate would ride double with him, hanging on the back. She was sent to get the horse, because it would run away if someone else rather than NWT came to get him. He was a brown sorrel horse named Doc. Scared of cars, and he would run away. Nancy Whitaker Tate would ride with no saddle or bridle. If a car came, he would stop and not run if she was on him. Nancy Whitaker Tate was a not yet in school. She would take him to a fence, and he would stand still until she would climb the fence and get on him, Then off the would go. He was used for riding to the mill and the store.

He met his first wife on Whitaker Ridge

MAN KILLED ON WHITAKER RIDGE

Another Tragedy in the Moonshine District
Reward Offered for Arrest of Bill Brewster.

Thomas Whitaker was shot und killed by Bill Brewster on Whitaker Ridge last Thursday. It is believed that Brewster thought Whitaker had given information that he was operating a still. Add Harman had been raiding on Whitaker Ridge on that morning and it is reported that some one followed him through the woods past Dan Dunford's place, where Brewster had been staying and making whiskey.

On returning, Harman met Whitaker near his (Whitaker's) home and stopped and ate dinner. Immediately he started home, Whitaker came with him to the gate, where Alex Barnett was shucking corn, in a few minutes Dan Dunford, Bill Brewster and a boy by the name of Smith, came up. Brewster carried a shotgun and passed on into a briar patch with the remark, ?I?ll kick _____ out of a rabbit.? Harman talked with the men for a few minutes and started home, soon he heard the report of a shot gun and one of Tom Whitaker's boys came running and called to him,"come back they've killed papa."

On arriving on the scene of the tragedy, we found that Brewster had escaped to the woods into which he followed him, but after spending some hours searching he gave up the hunt, went to Richlands and brought a blood hound to the scene. The dog followed the trail to Dan Dunford's house and lost it The officers, having previously searched the house, were forced to give up the chase.

Brewster is still at large. A reward of $100 was placed in a Tazewell bank for his arrest, by Whitaker's family.

-------

He died intestate and the heirs listed were Henderson Whitaker, Nannie Whitaker, Dock Whitaker, Ray Whitaker, and Celia Day, and Mertie his wife.

COURT CASE

COURT CASE

His brother, Grover, was accused of murdering/assaulting his wife in Oklahoma. Dr Whiteaker put up his bond.

WHITEAKER v. STATE. (Supreme Court of Oklahoma. Nov. 14, 1911.)

Error from District Court, Oklahoma County;
Geo. W. Clark, Judge.

Action by J. D. Whiteaker against the State of Oklahoma. Judgment for defendant, and plaintiff brings error. Affirmed.

M. Fulton, for plaintiff in error.
Sam Hooker, for defendant in error.

TURNER, C. J. On December 16, 1908, the county attorney of Oklahoma county filed in the district court of that county an Information charging Grover C. Whiteaker with assault with intent to kill. On tbe next day but one he was arraigned, and pleaded not guilty, and his bond fixed at $7,500 the same to be approved by the clerk of said court. On December 23. 1908, there was filed in the office of said clerk an unsigned unofficial order of release Indorsed thereon:

"This is to verify that I have received this order of release on December 23, 1908, and executed on December 23, by releasing the said Grover C. Whiteaker from custody. [Signed] H. D. Garrison, Sheriff, by M. C. Binion."

Opinion of the Court.

On January 26, 1909, there was made and entered in said cause the following order:

"This cause coming regularly before the court for trial, the defendant comes not, whereupon he Is three times loudly called to come into court and save his recognizance, but comes not, but Is In default, whereupon It is ordered that the bond of the defendant be, and the same is, hereby forfeited. And It Is ordered that the clerk of this court pay to the county treasurer of Oklahoma county the moneys In his hands as cash bond of the defendant; to which ruling Dr. Whiteaker exempts, and it Is further ordered that the clerk issue an alias warrant for the arrest of the said Grover C. Whiteaker."

On February 16, 1909, Dr. J. D. Whiteaker, plaintiff in error, petitioned the court for an order directing the clerk to turn said $7.500 over to him, on the hearing of which It developed that the accused and petitioner were brothers; that for the purpose of furnishing him bail petitioner left his home in Kentucky and came to Oklahoma City, and deposited with the clerk of said court the money in controversy, the property of petitioner, and which Is still in his hands; that thereupon the accused was released from jail as shown by said order entered upon the Journal of the court, but was not placed in the custody of petitioner, and that petitioner has since been unable to surrender him. Upon this showing the court refused to grant the prayer of said petition and overruled the same, and rendered and entered judgment accordingly. To reverse said judgment this proceeding in error was commenced.

Whiteaker v. State. and hence petitioner is entitled to recover back his money. Assuming said repugnancy to exist, and the general doctrine to be as urged, in substance, that an officer authorized to receive bail for the appearance of a person charged with crime cannot receive money in lieu of bail, no such power being conferred by statute, and, if so paid in, neither the state nor county has claim to it

Opinion of the Court

This appears of record; and thus Is met the requirement of the statute that the court must direct the fact of the defendant's neglect to appear to be entered upon the minutes. And, this having been done, the forfeiture of the money deposited in place of bail followed, under the law, as a matter of course ([Gen. St. 1808, c. 82] 5 152), and It was not error In such cases for the court to direct the forfeited money to be turned over to the county treasurer."

There is nothing In the remaining Assignments of error.
The judgment of the trial court Is affirmed.

All the Justices concur.

Rescued From Officers at Cannel City

Grover Whitaker, who was charged with shooting his wife in Oklahoma near Ardmore about six months ago, and who has since been living at Cannel City, was Monday arrested by two men claiming to be duly authorized officers from that state hand cuffed and made ready to go with them when a party of his friends said to be about 100 took him from the arresting officers whom they disarmed. The rescuers then took the keys away from the officers and unlocked the handcuffs, after which they were told to go. Our informant said the two men hesitated not at all upon the order of their going but went. We do not know the parties who thus interfered with the arresting officers or anything of the case, in fact, but we are afraid their have involved themselves in serious trouble and shall watch the case with interest.

This appears of record; and thus Is met the requirement of the statute that the court must direct the fact of the defendant's neglect to appear to be entered upon the minutes. And, this having been done, the forfeiture of the money deposited in place of bail followed, under the law, as a matter of course ([Gen. St. 1808, c. 82] 5 152), and It was not error In such cases for the court to direct the forfeited money to be turned over to the county treasurer."

There is nothing In the remaining Assignments of error.
The judgment of the trial court Is affirmed.

All the Justices concur.

Notes:

Otis never married and was killed in 1917 under mysterious circumstances while guarding a railroad bridge at Cedar Bluff in World War I. His death certificate says he was a watchman for the N&W Railroad, but the Clinch Valley News says he was working for the Baldwin-Felts Agency. The family thought his body was placed on the bridge and was run over by the next train.

During World War I, the agency?s talents were given freely to the United States Government for the protection of industries and apprehension of German spies and others considered enemies to the United States. U.S. entry into World War I in 1917 sparked a boom in the coal industry.

The Baldwin-Felts Agency oversaw security operations in the Norfolk & Western Railway?s coalfield district. The company investigated train robberies, wrecks, and thefts as well as providing guards for railway and mine payrolls, as well as to accompany coal trains into the coalfields. Among labor union members of the coal mines, Baldwin?Felts agents were regarded as hired thugs, as evidenced in the shoot out at Matewan, WV, known as the Matewan Massacre. After the agency closed its doors in 1937, most of the company's files were destroyed or lost. The largest collection of extant files is housed at the Eastern Regional Coal Archives in Bluefield, West Virginia.

NEWSPAPER ARTICLE

Clinch Valley News, 6 April 1917

Guardsman Killed

Otis Whitaker, age 23 years, a Baldwin-Felts guard, was run over and killed by train No. 85 near Cedar Bluff Monday morning. Whitaker was one of the guards employed by the railroad company in watching the bridges and tunnels on the Clinch Valley. He went to work Saturday night. An inquest was held yesterday morning, and the investigation developed that from the position in which the body was found he had evidently gone to sleep on the track. His feet and legs were several feet from the rest of his body. A pocketbook containing several dollars in money and a fine watch were found on the track, the watch having stopped at 3:21. Whitaker was placed in charge of three bridges near Cedar Bluff in keeping with the purpose of the N. & W., to use every precaution to prevent the interruption of traffic by enemies of the United States who might be incited to acts of
violence by the declaration of war against Germany. The dead boy is a son of Hiram Whitaker, a well known citizen of
Cedar Bluff.
