W. L. Blanton of Gainesville,
candidate for Floatorial Rep-
resentative of Tarrant, Denton,
Wise and Cooke counties, was in
the city yesterday.
William Addison Kendall was
born in Taswell county, Va.Aug.
6, 1830. Whi-n he was 2 years
old his parents moved t<> Morgan
County, Ky. Here he was rais-
ed and educated, in his youth at-
tending and teaching school in
winter and working on the farm
in the summer. At the age of 23
he wa9 married to Miss Mary C.
Daily at West Liberty, Morgan
Co., Ky. He engaged in mer-
chandising and trading until the
fall of 1858 when with his wife
and three ohildren, he emigrated
in wagons to Texas, making the
trip in 42 days, arriving at Wes-
ton, Collin Co. on Dec, 10, 1858.
He remained in Collin Co. about
one year when he bought land in
Denton County.
On the breaking out of the war
he enlisted as a private soldier
in Gano’s squadron of cavalry.
This command was intended to
serve in Breckenridge’s division,
but being delayed by skirmishes,
high water and other hindrances,
they failed to reach the command
in time. The troop was then at-
the Captainoy of his compary
and at the surrender of the prin-
cipal portion of Morgan’s com-
mand at Chesshire, Ohio, he was
the ranking officer of his regi-
ment. The officers were taken
to Johnson’s Island and there
held until Morgan himself was
captured. He, with one hun-
dred and seventeen others, wa9
sent to the Western Penitentiary,
Pennsylvania, where they were
oonfined in cells and treated as
felons except as to labor, for near
eight months. Thence they were
transferred to Point Lookout,
Maryland, and from there to
Fort Delaware. From this pris-
on six hundred officers were sel-
ected, Captain Kendall among
them, and taken to Morris, Is-
land, South Carolina. Here
they were placed in front of and
in direct of the batteries of Fort
Sumpter in retaliation for alleged
cruelties to Federal prisoners in
Charleston. They were exposed
to every indignity and privation,
being guarded by negroes and
put on very short rations. This
was continued until the alleged
cause was removed, when they
were taken to Pulaski, Georgia.
Again, in retaliation for alleged
cruelties to Federal prisoners at
Andersonville, the ration was
cut down to ten ounces of meal
and a limited supply of pickles.
No meat, or salt was allowed
them. Under this regimen many
of the officers siokened and died,
but, with^ powers* of eedur-
ance born of desperation, Cap-
tain Kendall retained his health.
Determining to esoape if possible,
he with four others, burrowed
under the foundatiun of the fort
through twenty-two briok walls.
They hoped to be able to get a
skiff and join the Codfederate
forces on the coast of South Car-
olina, but being observed by the
guard were compelled to sur-
render and were returned to pri-
son. They were stripped, sear-
ched and sent to a dungeon and
given only bread and water for
three days. During this time
offers of release were made on
condition that they would remain
north of the Ohio river during
the war. The offer was indign-
antly rejeoted. Then Captain
Kendall, with the survivors of
the cruel imprisonment, was sent
to Hilton Head to be exchanged.
There were so many ahead of
them, however, awaiting ex-
