Sword belonging to Shiloh veteran donated
A Portage
County (Wisc.) sheriff came home from the Civil War and became a lawman.
When he was killed trying to intervene in a feud between neighbors, his wife
gave his Civil War sword to a chapter of the Freemasons. It has been
more than 143 years since the widow of Sheriff Joseph H. Baker gave the sword. On Wednesday, the organization in a special ceremony handed it to
the Portage County Sheriff's Department. • Article
