Civil War Encounter
In his Civil War diary, Ripley Co., Indiana farmer Ferdinand Sebring wrote: "April 21, 1865, Friday. I wrote a letter to my wife and sent a Raleigh paper. Then I took a walk through the town and saw Hiram Bassett." Clarification: After writing a letter to his wife, Lucinda Boyle Sebring and sending her the letter and a newspaper from Raleigh, North Carolina, Union soldier Ferdinand Sebring took a walk through the streets of Raleigh. There Ferdinand had a chance encounter with fellow Union soldier from home, Hiram A. Bassett. In 1866, Hiram would marry Malinda Boyle, the sister of Ferdinand's wife, Lucinda. Hiram was also the brother of Ferdinand's brother-in-law and comrade in arms, Stephen Bassett; Stephen was married to Ferdinand's sister, Eliza T. Sebring Bassett.
