Abstract
"Back in pioneer times courtesy titles--'Colonel,' 'Captain' and 'Major' were bestowed liberally on leading men of western towns. Captain J. H. Thomas, father of Mrs. Maude Granger of Yakima, won his title as a soldier in the Civil War. When the war broke out he was a student in Allegheny College, Meadville, Pa. Fired with eagerness to get into the fray, he organized his own company and drilled it, hoping to join his unit to the Union Forces."
