Racine, April, 1898
Christopher C. HAYBURN died at his home on Palica Avenue last
evening of general debility. The deceased was born in Lancaster county,
Pennsylvania, May 1, 1835, and had been a resident of Racine nearly
forty years. He was a blacksmith by trade and had been employed at the
J.I. Case T.M. Co. for many years.  May 21, 1862 when the rebellion
broke out, he went to the front in Co. F.  Twenty-second regiment, Wis-
consin volunteers, and was in service to the end of the war.  He was
taken prisoner at the battle of Brentwood and was confined in the Libby
prison for three weeks.  He participated in Sheridan's march to the sea
and was in the grand review at Washington, D.C. May 24, 1865.  He
was a good citizen, a brave soldier and a man held in the highest honor
by his fellow men.  A wife, two daughters and two sons survive to
mourn his death.  The funeral will take place Sunday afternoon at 2
o'clock from the home.
