Although he was a physician in south central Iowa at the start of the war, after it ended he became a noted lawyer in nearby Centerville; he was also a state senator from 1869 to 1872. Mary Vermilion (1831-1883) was a schoolteacher who grew up in Indiana; she and William married in 1858. In this volume historian Donald Elder provides a careful selection from the hundreds of supportive, informative, and heart-wrenching letters that they wrote each other during the war - the most complete collection of letters exchanged between a husband and a wife during the Civil War. 600 10 $a Vermilion, William, $d 1830-1894 $v Correspondence. 600 10 $a Vermilion, Mary, $d 1831-1883 $v Correspondence. 610 10 $a United States. $b Iowa Infantry Regiment, 36th (1862-1865) $b Iowa Infantry Regiment, 36th (1862-1865) 650 0 $a Married people $z Iowa $v Correspondence. 650 0 $a Soldiers $z Iowa $v Correspondence. 651 0 $a Iowa $x History $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $v Personal narratives. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $v Personal narratives. 651 0 $a Iowa $x Social aspects. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Social aspects. 651 0 $a Indiana $x Social aspects. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Social aspects. 651 0 $a United States $x Social aspects. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Social aspects. 700 1 $a Vermilion, Mary, $d 1831-1883. 700 1 $a Elder, Donald C., $d 1952- 941 $a 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010022821.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DCE8D97C673211EEBF3E118F48ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
