• General Notes

  Naylor was a member of Cicero, Indiana Post No. 207 GAR. He has also joined the IOOF Cicero Lodge on May 1874 and he was faithful in attendance as long as his health permitted over a period of 47 years. He was receiving a military pension (Certificate No. 432986) for his Civil War duty and when he reached the age of 75, his pension was increased to $24. per month.
  
  It was said that Naylor was a very progressive farmer and his farmstead was neat and well kept. His house was white with green shutters, A granddaughter said that Naylor would send a barrel of Potatoes, a barrel of Apples and one of Pears to his daughter Eliza (LIDA) on the train to Niantic, Illinois and on special occasions would give her a twenty dollar Gold Piece. Naylor spent his declining years on his farm two miles South of Cicero and he died at the age of 79 on July 6, 1921. He and his wife are both buried in the Crown Hill Cemetery in Arcadia, Indiana.
  
  Naylor served two enlistments in the Civil War. He first enlisted when he was 19. He had several illnesses and was discharged on May 2, 1862 at Shiloh, Tennessee because of disability. He returned home to Cicero, Indiana. After about two years, Naylor re-enlisted at Logansport, Indiana on May 10, 1864. He received his stripes as a First Duty Sergeant on 27 May 1864 and Color Sergeant on June 10, 1864 and was appointed Color Bearer in July 1864 at Tallahoma, Tennessee. He was again discharged on 30 September 1864 and returned to his home in Cicero.
  
  Some years later, he applied for a Pension which he ultimately received. At first after his discharge, he was unable to work. After passage of time his health improved to where he was able to work his farm and lived a satisfactory life.
  
  Naylor visited relatives in Pike County Illinois on occasion. My great-grandfather, Elijah F. Webster said in a letter in 1931 that Naylor visited them several times in Oklahoma.
