    Notes:

    The sentiment that had been gaining ground against the prosecution of the war probably attained its highest in the sum- mer of 1863. This, however, was not a sentiment in favor of the Rebellion, but was in favor of conciliation, and was willing to con- tinue the existence of slavery. The emancipation proclamation, therefore, to those who held these views, was a dangerous and unwarranted proceeding. To them it seemed the Government was waging a war of subjugation and for the abolishment of slavery. Such a course they were heartily opposed to, and from these causes alone, were opposed to the prosecution of the war. They were equally opposed to the breaking up of the Union. A con- servative or middle course was what they proposed to follow; but it is doubtful if such a plan could have succeeded at that time. President Lincoln took the smaller horn of the dilemma, and wisely concluded that it was better to destroy slavery than the Union. The Indiana Legislature of 1863 passed a resolution declar- ing in favor of calling a National Peace Convention, and requested the people of Indiana to send representatives to a State Conven- tion that should appoint delegates to the National assembly. This gave the opportunity for the various counties to express their sentiment upon the war questions. The one for Jackson County was held at Brownstown, February 19 of that year. Maj. S. P. Mooney was chosen chairman, with W. W. Wamsley and Ben Carr, secretaries. The following men were appointed a commit- tee on resolutions: Martin Ferris, Martin Henderlider, Samuel Lee, Michael May, L. L. Shields, W. C. A. Bain, Daniel Bar- ringer, Andrew Robertson, Enoch Hunsucker, William Hupp and Alex Heinote. The meeting was addressed by Hons. Thomas Dowling, G. F. Cookerly and H. W. Harrington. The resolutions are too long for insertion here.

    LYCURGUS L. SHIELDS, of Seymour, was born in this county, May 19,1834, the first son of M. W. and Eliza P.(Ewing) Shields. After attending the public school of his neighborhood and the private school of John I. Morrison, at Salem, Ind., a year, he was at the State University, at Bloomington, Ind., two years. At the age of twenty-six he married Miss R. J. McCollum, and moved (in 1852), with her parents, to Seymour, when there were but two houses in the place. Of the ten children born to them six are living, namely: Ewing, Fannie, Nellie, Lycurgus, Dickinson and Meedy. The deceased are Eliza P., Swope, Meedy, Sarah and Lorne. Mr. Shields is a farmer and stock raiser. In politics he is a Democrat, and he is regarded as one of the influ- ential men of the county.
