Not long before the Demings passed
through the county the British had
burned Buffalo, and Cleveland was
an insignificant town. The elder De
ming bought a farm in Medina County
and worked, it until 1823. The younger
CHARLES B. DEMING.
Deming left farming in that ;year and
in 1825 he went into Ashland County,
was married in 1830 and returned to
the farm near Brunswick. Two years
later he removed to Ashland County
and embarked in trade. From 1852
until 1864 he traded in cattle and iu
the last named year came to Illinois
and settled in Henry County, where lie
has lived ever since. He was twice
sent to the Ohio Legislature. His in
itiation into masonry took place in
Ohio in 1-826. Notwithstanding his
great age Mr. Deming keeps pace with,
the march of modern progress.

BRAVE MAN, BRAVE DEED.
One of Custer’s Fighting .Soldiers Given a
Medal by Congress.
Theodore W. Goldin, olerk of the cir
cuit court of Janesville, Wis., has been
presented with a bronze medal inscribed:
“The Congress to Private Theodore W.
Goldin of Troop G, Seventh United
States Cavalry, For Most Distinguished
Gallantry at the Little Big Horn River,
Montana, July 26, 1876. ” General J.
B. Doe, assistant secretary of war, pre
sented the medal in the name of the
president of the United States.
Colonel Goldin was a private in Gen
eral Custer’s fighting Seventh. When
General Reno’s command was besieged
by 800 Indians, the wounded soldiers
suffered under the blazing sun from a
terrible thirst. Private Goldin, then a
raw recruit, volunteered with three oth
ers to go down the bluff with a big camp
kettle for water. All four came back,
but the camp kettle, which they dragged
between them, was pierced with bullets.
Had it not been for canteens slung about
their shoulders they would have brought
back no water.
Long ago the other three men were
decorated by congress. Colonel Goldin’s
modesty prevented the -details of his
achievement from being known, but his
comrades were not content to let him re
main in the background.
