[N313] During the Civil War, the Union Guerrillas swarmed over John and Clarinda's farm, destroying all their personal effects, took the hogs and cattle, drove the team away. They had a rough time living through the winter of 1863-64, just barely escaping starvation. Weak and with only hand tools to work the farm, John fell to the task too stringently. As a result pneumonia took its toll in May 1864, John died. Clarinda, with her four orphaned children, left with her father's party for Meeker County, Minnesota in 1866.
