Notes	Hiram H. Vebber, son of Darius and Sally (Ware) Vebber, was born in this town, April 20, 1830, on a farm on which his father settled and cleared up, in the west part of the town. His father was from Massachusetts and came into the Black River country in 1807. When but four years of age Hiram was left an orphan and went to live with his uncle, Daniel Vebber. In 1853, at the age of 23, he married Miss Almira Merrill of this town, and set up house-keeping at Champion Huddle. In 1859 he removed to Great Bend, where he resided till the summer of 1862, when he enlisted in Co. D, 10th N.Y.H.A., which had its headquarters at Sackets Harbor. In the following September the Tenth was called to Washington, but the Fourth battalion of the regiment in which Mr. Vebber was put stopped on Staten Island till May, 1863, when they were called into active service. They were with the gallant Phil Sheridan in the valley of the Shenandoah, and took part in the battle of Petersburg. Here, while the Fourth battalion of the 10th Regiment was making a gallant charge on the enemy, April 2, 1865, Mr. Vebber received a gunshot wound between the knee and thigh, and, falling upon the ground, was left on the field, taken prisoner, and carried to a rebel hospital; but the enemy, hastily retreating in the night, left their prisoners which they had taken, and the next day they were recovered by our forces. Mr. Vebber, with his wounded comrades, was taken to the field hospital, and his limb was amputated close to the body by Dr. Smith Copeland, the regimental surgeon. After this he was transfered from one hospital to another till October 5, 1865, when he was discharged from David's Island Hospital, at New York harbor. He is now receiving the pension granted for such disability. After returning from the war he and his family went to live with his father-in-law, William Merrill, and at his death succeeded to the farm on which he now lives. The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Vebber are as follows: Frank M., born in 1856, who is a physician and now lives in West Carthage; Marian J. (Mrs. J. Austin Hubbard, Jr.), born in 1859; Hubert J., born in 1868; and Nellie A., born in 1871. In the death of Hiram Vebber, which occurred yesterday afternoon, our village loses an upright citizen and his friends a gental companion. Mr. Vebber came here from Felt Mills about four years ago, soon after the death of his wife. He was a veteran of the civil war, having lost a leg in the service of his country.
