HIRAM S. CRAIG.--Many of the pioneers of Butler county served their country during the dark days of the Rebellion, making a record honorable and glorious. Among the brave boys in blue was Mr. Craig, now a leading citizen and enterprising business man of Ulysses, having been prominently identified with the interests of that village for over a quarter of a century.
A native of Ohio, Mr. Craig was born in Highland county, April 18, 1847, and is a son of Joseph Craig, whose birth occurred in Washington county, Pennsylvania, in 1811. When a young man the father removed to Ohio and settled in Brown county, where he subsequently married Miss Telitha Runion, a daughter of Henry Runion. For twenty-seven years they continued to make their home in the Buckeye state, where were born to them a family of twelve children, of whom our subject was the seventh in order of birth. On leaving Ohio they went to Illinois, and in that state and Nebraska the father successfully engaged in the practice of medicine for many years.
The first twelve years of his life Hiram S. Craig passed in his native state, and in its common schools he began his education. He then accompanied his parents on their removal to Mercer county, Illinois, and remained with them until after the outbreak of the Civil war. Responding to the President's call for aid in 1863, he entered the United States Marine service, where he remained but a short time, and then enlisted in the Thirtieth Illinois Volunteer Infantry, serving with that regiment until hostilities ceased, and participating in many of the fiercest battles of the war. He took part in the engagements at Buzzard's Roost, Kingston, Bush Mountain, Kenesaw Mountain, and at the battle of Peach Tree Creek was wounded, but remained with his command until after the fall of Atlanta. He was with Sherman on the march to the sea; and in the battles of Marietta and Jonesboro, and was present at the surrender of General Johnston at Raleigh, North Carolina. After this he went to Washington, where he took part in the grand review. He was mustered out at Louisville, Kentucky, and was discharged at Springfield, Illinois. His war record is one to which he may point with pride.
While in the service, his father's family had moved to Knox county, Illinois, and there Mr. Craig joined them after his discharge. He then learned the wheelwright's trade, which he followed for a time. In Knox county, he was married in August, 1869, to Miss Lucinda Mick, a daughter of George A. Mick, formerly of Ohio, who emigrated to Illinois in the '50s, and in 1870 came to Butler county, Nebraska, where he secured a homested (sic) on section 28, Union township. After his marriage, Mr. Craig continued to live in Illinois until 1871, and there his oldest child--Joseph--was born. Since coming to Nebraska seven other children have been added to the family, five sons and two daughters, namely: Homer, Eva, Claude, Cora, Bert, Hiram H. and George.
On the 15th of May, 1871, Mr. Craig arrived in Butler county, and at one secured a homestead on section 26, Read township, but has lived most of the time in Ulysses, where for some time he was engaged in contracting and building, erecting many of the best buildings in the village. He was also interested in the furniture and undertaking business for two years. For the past several years he has been engaged in the real estate and loan business, with an office in the State Bank building, and is also interested in western land and is serving as notary public. His strict integrity and honorable dealing in business commend him to the confidence of all; his pleasant manner wins him friends; and he is one of the popular and honored citizens of his adopted county. Socially he, affiliates with the Masonic Order and the Grand Army of the Republic, and religiously is a faithful member of the Methodist Episcopal church.
