Frank
A. GUE, formerly of
*Perryopolis, who now lives in Tecumseh, Neb., claims to have
been confined longer in Southern prisons during the Civil War
than any other man now living.
For 526 days in one period, Gue
suffered starvation, privation, exposure and disease, but still
lives to tell the tale. He was stricken with smallpox, black
scurvy, and chronic diarrhoea (sic) and lay sick for days with
scarcely any attention. Six months of his imprisonment was in
Andersonville and six weeks of that time in hot weather, an
average of 152 dead bodies were carried out every day.
The Pension Office and Bureau of
Information in Washington have been unable to find anyone to
match GUE's record.

Francis A GUE married Mary PARIS of Clinton Co., IN, 18 Nov
1860. They had no children.
His obit states that; "On June 6, 1862, Francis enlisted with Company G, Eighty-Sixth Indiana volunteer Infantry, and went at once into the service, being actively engaged most of the time until the fall of 1863... was released at Wilmington, N. C. under a flag of truce, March 1, 1865." Other sources state that he was a private in Co. G. 86th Regt.Indiana Infantry, enlisted 6 Aug 1862 and was discharged 6 June 1865. He participated in many big engagements, including Chickamauga, where he was taken prisoner, 20 Sept 1863. A vivid description of the horrors he faced is written in his obituary below. Please take time to read it.
Francis returned to Indiana at the close of the war. In the spring of 1866, Francis & Mary along with his brother Peter (also listed here) & his wife Dorcas moved to Brownville, NE. Later in 1866 they began farming in Todd Creek, Johnson County. A few years later they moved to Tecumseh, where Mr Gue went into business. In a November 1889 "Falls City Journal" it is mentioned that Mr. F. A. Gue is proprietor of the Sycamore Mineral Springs a "popular summer resort". (Sycamore Springs is located a few miles north of Sabetha, KS).
OBITUARY: from The Tecumseh Chiefton, Tecumseh, Nebraska - Saturday, May 22, 1920
Francis
A. Gue, civil war veteran and early settler, died at his home
on Tecumseh, at 4:30 o'clock, Wednesday afternoon, May 19,
1920, after a period of ill health which extended over
considerable time. He was aged eighty years, seven months and
nine days.
Mr Gue was a native of
Perryopolis, Pa., and was born October 10, 1839. His early life
was spent in Pennsylvania and later he located in Indiana. He
was married to Miss Mary Paris of Clinton county, Ind.,
November 18, 1860. On June 6, 1862, Mr Gue enlisted with
Company G, Eighty-Sixth Indiana volunteer Infantry, and went at
once into the service, being actively engaged the most of the
time until the fall of 1863. He participated in many big
engagements, including Chickamauga, where he was taken
prisoner, September 20, 1863. For ten days Mr Gue was engaged
in caring for the wounded on the field of battle at
Chickamauga, and then followed eighteen or nineteen months of
the terrible prison life for which the civil war was noted. He
was confined in Libby for a few days and then taken to
Pemberton for a short term. The next transfer was to Danville,
and this was in the late fall of that year. The next April Mr
Gue was sent to Andersonville, where he remained until
November, when he was transferred to Charleston, being confined
in the prison yard there almost under the fire of the union
guns. He was later taken to Florence, and was released at
Wilmington, N. C. under a flag of truce, March 1, 1865. He was
a physical wreck with but very little hope of his life being
spared, when the government took him to the military hospital
in connection with the academy at Annapolis. For weeks the
unfortunate man hovered between life and death, was spared, yet
never fully recovered a marked degree of health.
Returning to Indiana at the close
of the war Mr and Mrs Gue arranged to come to Nebraska and
located for a time at Brownville, afterwards coming to Johnson
county and going on to Todd Creek precinct farm in 1866. A few
years later they moved to Tecumseh, where Mr Gue entered
mercantile lines for a period.
When he was fourteen years of age
Mr Gue professed his religious faith and became associated with
the Baptist Church. He was a charter member of the Tecumseh
church. He remained true to this faith throughout life, and
died firm in the belief of the life hereafter. Mr Gue was a
prominent member of the republican party and took part in party
affairs during his active years. He served Johnson county as a
member of the board of commissioners for two terms and had
perhaps held other less important political office. He was a
member of Heckathorn Post, Grand Army of the Republic, of
Tecumseh, and was a leader in this fraternity. For a long time
the gentleman had not been well, but, most of the time, had
been up and about. His physical failure was gradual, and death
gave him relief from the pains of the flesh; Wednesday
afternoon. He is survived by his wife, a brother, P L Gue of
this county, and two brothers and a sister who live in
Pennsylvania, and who are Newton and James Gue and Sarah
Chambers, all of Perryopolis. Amma Gue and Miss Ota Gue of Long
Branch are nephew and niece of the deceased. Mr Gue was an
affable, pleasant gentleman, a kind and loving husband, good
neighbor and splendid citizen, and he will be missed by any
friends, who extend sympathy to the relatives at this time.
The funeral was held at the home
at 11:00 o'clock, Friday forenoon, and wasconducted by Rev
George S Price, pastor of the Tecumseh Baptist church. Members
of the Grand Army were in attendance. The interment was in the
Grandview cemetery at Long Branch.

In the spring of 1866 Peter & Dorcas, along with his brother Francis & his wife Mary moved to Brownville, NE. As a young man in Pennsylvania he was a tailor; a shoemaker in Indiana; and a farmer in Johnson County NE.
OBITUARY: from newspaper in Tecumseh, Nebraska, Saturday, August 6, 1927
Peter L
Gue of the Long Branch section, in failing health for six or
seven years, suffered a paralytic stroke at bedtime, last
Monday evening, and he expired at 11:00 o'clock, a m on
Tuesday, August 2, 1927. Mr Gue and daughter lived on a farm
which had long been the family home, and he had suffered
previous strokes. His age was ninety years, ten months and
seventeen days.
Peter Layton Gue was a son of
Elijah and Sarah (Layton) Gue, and he was born in Perryopolis,
Pa., September 13, 1836. The days of his boyhood and young
manhood were spent in Fayette County, Pa., and his education
was secured in the common school. Mr Gue was married to Miss
Dorcas Dent Halliday, at Michigantown Ind., October 21, 1866,
and his wife departed this life, in Johnson county, February 8,
1924. They were the parents of three children, who are all
living and who, in the order of their ages , are Ota Gue and
Amma Gue of Elk Creek and Mrs Vinnie Baird of Worden, Mont. The
brothers and sisters of the deceased are all dead.
Mr Gue was a veteran of the Civil
war and a member of the Grand Army of the Republic post of
Tecumseh until he became too feeble to attend its meetings. He
enlisted on Company G, Eighty-Sixth Indiana volunteer Infantry,
at Frankfort, June 6, 1862, served throughout the rebellion.
and was honorably discharged at the close of the struggle. He
was in a number of engagements, but was not injured. However,
Mr Gue was in the hospital once or twice, once from injuries
received while assisting in getting heavy army wagons out of
the mud while on march.
In the spring of 1866 Mr Gue came
to Nebraska from Indiana, and lived at Brownville for a time.
As soon as buildings could be erected he and his young wife
located on the farm in Johnson county, which remained the
family home up to this time, with the exception of a short time
spent in Tecumseh, following the grasshopper devastation in the
early years. Mr Gue's principal activity of life was farming,
though he worked at the tailor trade in his youth, while living
in Pennsylvania, and at shoemaking when he lived in Indiana,
and for the short time he lived in Tecumseh. When crops failed
he had to work at his trade to make a living, and as pioneers
of Nebraska, Mr and Mrs Gue suffered the hardships and
privations which were the lot of all early settlers. He was a
quiet man, his characteristics being strict honesty and
integrity. He was kind and loving to his family, considerate of
all, and during the long time he had lived in Johnson county
had made a wide acquaintance of admiring friends, who regretted
his being stricken in his later years and who mourn with the
family the departure of so fine a man.
The funeral was held at the home
at 10:00 o'clock, Thursday morning, and was largely attended,
including old soldiers and Sons of Veterans. Rev W H Wright,
pastor of the Tecumseh Methodist church, had charge of the
services. The interment was in the family lot in the Grandview
cemetery, the burial services being conducted by the Tecumseh
camp of Sons of Veterans and being military in their
nature.
