On Jan 1, 1861 he re-enlisted in the same Compnay and Regiment and was again discharged by the reason of the close of the war, Aug 28, 1865. He participated in the battles of Pea Ridge, Vicksburg, the Red River Campaign and
in many engagements in the East on the Peninsula, proving himself always to be a brave defender of his country's honor. Actuated by this spirit of patriotism, he became a charter member of the Nelson Trusler Post, G.A.RFor a period of more than thirty seven years he was a member of the I.O.O.F. having filled various offices int he Subordinate lodge and encampment. To this Order was strongly attached, always referring to it with great
enthusiasm and praise.The deceased has been a resident of this city ever since the close of the Civil War, following his trade as a carpenter and pattern maker as long as health would permit, after which he engaged in mercantile persuits, either as a
grocer or newsdealer and stationer. The last years of his life were spent in the hotel business through which channel he came widely known and highly respected throughout the country. He and his family united with the Friend's
church a number of years ago under the ministry of Frankie Peerre, and of this body he remained a consistent member till death.On Sept 8, 1866 he was married to Louisa J. Hiatt. To them were born three daughters, Clara A., Effie M. and Martha Ethel, but infant Effie departed from his life when she was only seven weeks old. As a husband and father, Mr. Hiatt was loving and kind, ever thoughtful of the interests of his family and untiring of his efforts to make them comfortable and happy. He had a very exalted conceptiono f family morals, knowing wel that upon him, as the executive head of the family, depended much to preserve their spiritual welfare. This thought seemed to be ever present to him. His conception of patriotism consisted in this - that as no nation can preserve its integrity unless there be an active spiritual
progression, so it is with the family, the basic of the national fabric. If retrogession or decay gain the ascendency here national decay must be the inevitable result. And in his search for the best means of preserving the integrity of the family, he concluded that the Christian mode of living, embracing, to a great extent, the element active industry was the only means of such preservation.In passing from us, he leaves to mourn his departure a most devoted family, all feeling that his exit is only of infinite limitation - that they all shall be united again in the fullness of time; a wife, Louise J. and two daughters, Clara A. Will and her husband Daniel, and Mary Ethel Hiatt. He also leaves one brother, Dr. Christopher C. Hiatt, one sister Rachel W. Liston, and a host of relatives and friends. In his death, the family loses its best friend, the community, oneof its truest and most patriotic citizens.

the theme of the dicourse being "The Fullness of Time" based on II Tim. Chap IV 6, (Am Rev) I am already being offered and the time of my departure is come. The remains of the departed were laid at rest in Fountain Park cemetery by
loving Comrades whilst the last sad rites were preformed by his cherished order.
There is an ear the hears,
When heavies weighs life's galling chain;
Tis Heaven that whispers "Dry Thy Tears"
The pure in Heaven shall meet again.
