Frank HAVILAND, proprietor of livery, sale and boarding stable, Joliet; was born in Ithaca, 
Tompkins Co., N. Y., March 15, 1842. Early in 1862, he enlisted in the 109th N. Y. Vols., and 
was appointed a Sergeant in Company A; he served in the Army of the Potomac, and participated 
in all the engagements of that army until the battle of Petersburg, where he was wounded June 
17, 1864; he received three wounds, one in the left hand, by a fragment of a shell, which carried 
away one of his fingers, and at the same time two wounds in the right leg; on his recovery, he 
was sent on detached duty to Annapolis, Md., where he remained till his discharge in August, 
1865, just previous to which he received an unsolicited and unexpected commission as First 
Lieutenant. He came to Joliet in the fall of 1865, and the next spring engaged in his present 
business; he has served one year as City Marshal and one term as a member of the Board of 
Aldermen of Joliet. He was married Dec. 3, 1874, to Miss Merrion MILAR, of the town of Troy,
