Logan Mize

"Logan Mize, born February 7, 1836, Pulaski County Kentucky, as the 7th child of William Riley Mize and Hannah Evans Mize. According to the 1850 census, he attended school, but no record has been found where he signed his name, and no indication as to a middle name. He has always been known as Logan Mize and the closes to a signature, besides the X mark, is the "M" in the center of his marriage banns, between he and Eliza Ann Ping on 18 December 1857 in Pulaski County KY.

Logan enlisted in the Union Army, Civil War, 12 Oct 1861, and volunteered to enlist again 1 Jan 1864 at Strawberry Plains in East Tennessee. This enlistment shows his age as 23 instead of his correct age of 28. He served as a private in Company B, 12th Regiment of Kentucky Volunteers. His records show that in June 1864, he was on a train from Chattanooga, TN to Dalton, GA. On this train, he and his company were on top of a boxcar, near the engineer, and cinders from the engine got in his eyes and his eyes were in a deceased condition as a result thereof. He was honorably discharged 11 July 1865, in Greensboro, NC. I've found no document showing he returned to Pulaski County before he was elderly, except where he was a witness to a wedding in 1878 for his niece, a daughter of Milton Green Mize. His pension records state, on 28 June 1886, he lived in Greencastle, Putnam, IN. He also lived in Clark, Lawrence, Boone, and Green Counties. His address was 908 S. Locust St., Greencastle, IN.

Between 1919 and 1927, a widower, he returned to Stab, near Shortcreek to live with his nephew, Jim Riley Mize, the son of John Mize. Logan died 11 Oct 1927 of paralysis, at the age of 91 yr., 8 months, and 4 days. He is buried in the Shortcreek Cemetery. Jim Riley Mize signed his death certificate 12 Oct 1927."
