Grave 2087 B> The second soldier may be Private William Henry Tolar Company K 9th Louisiana Infantry Regiment CSA Almost everything in this soldiers compiled military records indicates his last name was spelled as Toler however I believe it was spelled as Tolar. Of his seven pages of Compiled Military Service Records only two show his name as being spelled as Tollar. The other five show the name as being spelled as Toler. The 1850 Lawrence County Mississippi census has his name spelled as Toler and his birth year being 1831 and was living in household #148 and being born in the State of Mississippi. His father's name was William Toler (according to the Lawrence County 1850 census) and shown as being born (about 1793) in North Carolina and his mother was Nancy Patience Ann Martin born (about 1805) in South Carolina. The father William H. Tolar was listed as being a farmer and his death was recorded in 1859 at Lawrence County Mississippi. The couple were married on June 12, 1819 in Lawrence County Mississippi. This was William H. Tolar's 2nd marriage, his first wife died, but not before having one son William H. Tolar Jr. Many family histories of Private William Henry Toler have his last name as being spelled as Tolar with a birth year of 1831. Several of Private William Henry Tolar's brothers such as James Washington and Isaiah Tolar have their last names spelled as Tolar on their tombstones. There are three Tolar family cemeteries located in Mississippi one of which is Marion County Mississippi in which James Washington one of the brothers is buried. (See Find A Grave Memorial 30391144) James Washington Tolar's death certificate also has his last name as being spelled as Tolar. Both James Washington and Isaiah Tolar were Confederate soldiers. Unlike their brother Private William Henry Tolar whose Compiled Military Service Records are spelled as Toler, James Washington and Isaiah Tolar have their names as spelled as Toler/Tolar/Toller in their Compiled Military Service Records. Both James Washington and Isaiah Tolar served in the 7th Mississippi Infantry. The father William H. Tolar was from Cumberland, North Carolina and there is also a Tolar family cemetery located in Cumberland, North Carolina. Private William Henry Tolar was married to Mary Stringer (born about 1839 and from Lawrence County Mississippi)(It is also interesting to note that Mary Stringer Tolar had a brother named Daniel and R.B.B. Stringer, both of Company K 9th Louisiana Infantry. R.B.B. Stringer would also die at the Camp Chase Prison see grave #2074) and had three children. 1) Charles Monroe Tolar (born on December 4, 1859) 2) William Franklin Tolar 3) Jimmie Tolar 1) Charles M. Tolar according to his death information was born in Marion County Mississippi on December 4, 1859. He died on May 30, 1932 and is buried at the Bethel Cemetery in Jackson Parish Louisiana. Charles M. Tolar's last name on his tombstone is spelled as Tolar.(See Find A Grave Memorial #33142940) 2) William F. Tolar's death records reflect that he was born on July 22, 1861 (although on his tombstone it looks like 1831) and died on June 4, 1899 and like his brother Charles is buried at the Bethel Cemetery in Jackson Parish Louisiana. (See Find A Grave Memorial #33143025) (Like Charles, William's last name on his tombstone is spelled as Tolar. I do not take it lightly to disagree with the Compiled Military Service Records combined with the United States census. However in this case there does seem to be enough information to support the name being spelled as Tolar and not Toler. There were two separate William H. Toler's in the CMSR's from the State of Louisiana. One was a Lieutenant William H. Toler of the 14th Louisiana who survived the War and should not be confused with Private William Henry Toler/Tolar of Company K 9th Louisiana Infantry who died at Camp Chase. When the War started in 1861, many single and eager Louisianans joined the Confederate cause. As a reward for signing up for three years members of Company K 9th Louisiana Infantry were allowed to gain furlough and travel back to Jackson Parish, Louisiana. Some members of Company K 9th Louisiana Infantry were also signing up new recruits for their company. With the Confederate draft about to take place many men of Jackson Parish, Louisiana aided by the $50.00 sign on bonus decided to enlist in Company K. Private William Henry Tolar enlisted on March 1, 1862 near Vernon, Louisiana. Company K known as the "Jackson Greys" left Jackson Parish, Louisiana in early Spring of 1862 by railroad and was going well within Confederate lines to join the 9th Louisiana Regiment in Northern Virginia. On April 11, 1862 while either arriving in Huntsville, Alabama or taking a short break the town was suddenly captured by Union soldiers from Nashville, Tennessee in command for the Union was General Orsmby Mitchell. Mitchell's plan was to capture the Memphis and Charleston Railroad at Huntsville, Alabama in preparation for Andrews Raiders who were to steal a train at Big Shanty, Georgia and disrupt the Confederate railroads thus giving Mitchell the opportunity to capture Chattanooga, Tennessee. The spy James Andrews delayed his theft of the train by one day, thinking the Mitchell could never march to Huntsville, Alabama due to the heavy rain on April 11, 1862. He was wrong. Members of the Great Locomotive Chase known in history as Andrews Raiders would receive the very first Congressional Medals of Honor even though their plan failed. Mitchell's bonus of his capture of Huntsville, Alabama was the majority of the members of Company K. The Confederate prisoners were held on the upper floor of the railroad depot at the Memphis and Charleston Railroad in Huntsville, Alabama for about two weeks. Today some of their names can be seen inscribed on the walls according to local Huntsville, Alabama history. (After visiting the depot in person none of names inscribed are those of April or May 1862 time period) The same General Mitchell was in charge of the Department of Ohio and his approval was needed to build Prison #2 at the Camp Chase Prison which he gave. Prison #2 was the worst of the prisons at Camp Chase because it had been built on the lowest ground within the prison. At times heavy rains would flood the sewage outside of the prison into the barracks themselves. It was also decided to put the Confederate hospital in prison #2. It was in this atmosphere that members of Company K entered Camp Chase on May 1, 1862 from the prison in Louisville, Kentucky by order of General Buell. Once the surviving members of Company K 9th Louisiana Infantry had been exchanged at Vicksburg, Mississippi per the Dix-Hill Cartel the decision was made not to send them back to the 9th Louisiana Infantry still in Northern Virginia. Rather they were assigned to the 12th Louisiana Infantry which was in the State of Mississippi at the time and the former Company K 9th Louisiana would be forever known as Company M2 12th Louisiana Infantry. Because of the time delay between the two governments about a year, a lot of red tape, the men who died at the Camp Chase Prison in Company K 9th Louisiana were left on the rosters of Company M2 12th Louisiana Infantry because they did not know officially of the soldiers deaths. And since Company K 9th Louisiana Infantry no longer existed the soldiers deaths were not listed on their Compiled Military Service Records. Private William Henry Tolar Company K 9th Louisiana Infantry would die on July 20, 1862 at the Camp Chase Prison, just about three months after his brother-in-law Private Redden B.B. Stringer Company K 9th Louisiana Infantary would die at Camp Chase. Private William Henry Tolar was listed as being 31 years of age, with a dark complexion stood 5'9" and had hazel eyes; dark hair and was listed as being born in Lawrence County Mississippi. Private William Henry Tolar would be buried at the Southeast City Cemetery in Columbus, Ohio on July 20, 1862 by Brotherlin & Halms (contracted government undertakers) and buried in grave #20. (Interestingly enough the Adjutant General of Ohio had Tolar's name spelled Tolar and Company K 9th Louisiana being in Virginia in which it was) Private William Henry Tolar's body may have been re-interred to the Camp Chase Confederate Cemetery by Captain Irving of the United States Quartermasters Department in May of 1869 and double buried with Confederate Private Samuel Givens of the 22nd Virginia Infantry in grave #2087 at the Camp Chase Confederate Cemetery.
