BIOGRAPHY - George Washington Gain (father of George W. Gain, Jr.)
ASTORIA ARGUS AUGUST 1917
REMINISCENCE OF A PIONEER RESIDENT
George W. Gain, a veteran of the Civil War, died at his home in this city, August 18, 1917, aged 74 years, 6 months, and 24 days.
As a citizen of this community he lived to the age of three score and ten years, maintaining through all vicissitudes an unblemished character, faithfully meeting the obligations incident to his lot and discharging with manly fidelity the duties incumbent upon him in all the relations of life. The possession of such a record by the family which he toiled to rear, and its transmittal to their posterity, is not only a boom to them, but the narrative of his worthy deeds, preserved in the columns of the hometown paper, serve as a wholesome incentive to read these actions in life.
Mr. Gain was the youngest of three children. Mrs. Elizabeth Simmeral of this city is a sister. On August 1862 he enlisted at Oakland, Shuyler County, under T. J. Kinney, who later was promoted to colonel. From Oakland he went to Quincy where he remained about three months, leaving for Memphis, Tenn., from which place he went by boat to Columbus, Ky., where the regiment was stationed some distance beyond at a station called Kenton along the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, to guard the road against being torn up by rebel soldiers. They had not been at Kenton very long until old General Forest came through and made the boys along the railroad get up and dig for their lives. Quite a number were captured. Two companies below them were captured by him. His company marched to Crocket Station on their way to Columbus where a train from that city picked them up the next day. The distance marched to Crocket Station, was about seven miles. The road the entire distance was of trestle work over the Ohio swamps and they walked on the ties the entire way, and to make it more hazardous it was during the night. There was about seventy-five in his company. His Colonel, Kinney, who was ill, was captured and several other men who were sick in hospitals. The Colonel was taken in a wagon drawn by oxen, to Hickman, a distance of about 50 miles, from which place he was taken to St. Louis, to a parole camp, and later exchanged.
At Columbus they threw up heavy breastworks, expecting Forest to attack the city. It was Christmas Day. However, he was headed off by General Greer's cavalry. They were then sent back to guard the same railroad they were forced to leave. His company went to Humboldt, Tenn., where they regiment got together, remaining there about a month, expecting to go into winter quarters, when they got orders to go to Meridian, Miss., and as luck would have it, they did not have any fighting when they got there. The distance they marched was about 180 miles and when they arrived, the enemy had left. They had a very stiff skirmish however, at Queen Hill.
On their march and after arrival they got out of supplies and were compelled to forage for what they got. They marched to Meridian and then back to Vicksburg, a distance of about 150 miles, and on their way they put in considerable time destroying railroad tracks to keep the enemy from using it. The method of destroying the track was simple, yet entailed very hard work. The track was torn up. Ties were corded up two or three feet high and rails were laid across. On either end of the rails a large number of ties were piled. The center cord of ties supporting the rails were then set on fire and when the rails became red hot, they warped to the ground.
They left Vicksburg under General A. J. Smith and made a trip up Red River. They had a fleet of 21 transporters and also several gun boats. Their landing was at Port DeRussey, where a battle was fought. The enemy was defeated and retreated. They went by boat to Alexander, from which point they went to Pleasant Hill, where a battle was fought. On returning to Vicksburg, a hard battle was fought at Yellow Bayou. They were then ordered to Atlanta, Ga., but the order was countermanded on account of General Price making an invasion through Missouri. They were then taken to St. Louis. They took in after him and marched across the entire state, a distance of about 700 miles, including their return trip. They walked the entire distance. General Price went over into Arkansas, but before he got across the Arkansas River, quite a lot of his artillery and men were captured. After that raid, they were ordered to Nashville, Tenn., to fight General Hood, where a two day's battle took place. A great number of men were killed on both sides. He got a slight wound in this battle, the only one he received during his service of three years and eighteen days. Hood was defeated. From there they were order to East Port, Miss., where they went into winter quarters. From there they were sent to New Orleans, where they took transport to the mouth of the Mississippi River and from there took a ship for Fort Morgan, taking up camp at Ft. Gaines, on the Dauphin Island. From that point they took small boats and went up Fisher River a small stream, a distance of 50 miles, landing about 20 miles back of Ft. Blakely. They laid there a week or ten days, when they were ordered on a siege, but finally had to make a charge on the enemy at this fort. This was the last battle he was in and it was fought on the 9th day of April, 1865. This was the day after Lee surrendered, they having not received the word. This was a pretty fierce battle, but didn't last long. They went to Mobile, Ala., and remained a month, instead of sending them home. They marched them to Montgomery, Ala., a distance of about 180 miles, where they remained about two months. Their duty was to guard the people there. They were marched back to Mobile where they guarded commissary stores. On the 26th day of August 1865, he was mustered out. Returning to Springfield, where he remained two weeks, got his discharge and returned home.
Of the several companions who enlisted with him in Co. B, 119th Inf., two were killed and one died from the effects of injuries received. All three of the boys were named William. They were William Ledger, William Tipton and William Phelps. At the battle of Yellow Bayou, La., he was entailed to help bury the dead. A pit was dug and eighteen soldiers were wrapped in blankets and placed in it. His friend Tipton was among them.
Mr. Gain was united in marriage, October 11, 1866, to Miss Melissa Mayo, at Rushville. His wife was born north of Vermont and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Mayo. Her parents emigrated from New York State. To them were born four children, namely: William of Astoria, George of Pasadena, Calif., Mrs. Mary Bair and Mrs. Etta Parker, of Astoria. Mr. Gain remained on a farm in Schuyler County until twenty-five years ago, when he moved to Astoria and followed teaming for a number of years. His wife died November 28, 1911.
In political relations, Mr. Gain was an ardent upholder of the principles of the Republican Party. He had never held an office of any importance although he had served as school trustee and road official for several years. He was a member of the U.B. Church of this city and was held in high esteem by a large number of acquaintances.
