Stafford, Ohio 1887
Joseph Ball was at the beginning of the war running a harness and saddler
shop just south of Robinson's store in the building for some time occupied
by Charles WELLS as a dwelling and grocery, afterwards occupied by Lewis
Shipley, formerly of Woodsfield, as postmaster. WELLS was the third husband
of Steel's mother-in-law, WELLS and Ball were contemporaries. Ball was
among the first to enlist, a considerable number going with him into the
25th Ohio Infantry. He held a commission as Lieutenant. Three companiew
were organized in the town. Milton WELLS being Captain of the one assigned
to the 27th Ohio Infantry. Wm. Wheeler who had been the 2nd teacher in the
new school-house was Captain of Co. D, 92d, and A.G. Hughes entering the
army as a Private was in a short time promoted to a Lieutenancy. The
neighborhood was represented in various other organizations the enlistments
making in the aggregate all that was asked of them. Capt. Thos. Wilson
still living near town also distinguished himself.


THE SCHOOLS

Next came L.K. Evans, up to this time perhaps the ripest scholar who had
taught here. He not onnly held up the standard established but took
advanced ground. After leaving Stafford he was for many years a successful
journalist. Then came Milton WELLS who was here till 1861. He was school
examiner of the county and has since been prominent in church and politics
in West. Va.
