Note: During the Civil War, Coles County furnished more than its quota of soldiers, including some of Caleb's nephews. Most volunteers, however, were from the western part of the county. On the eastern side, where the Reeds lived, there were many rebel sympathizers who, like the Reeds, had come from Kentucky. They had not been slaveholders themselves but hated abolitionists and the draft. As the war progressed, troops constantly moved through the area, and local farmers supplied corn at the high war price of $.60 per bushel. |
