p. 411 - “Christopher C. Hiatt, physician, Ridgeville, was born in Randolph County, Indiana, March 18, 1832. He is the son of Silas and Mary Hiatt, both natives of Virginia. His father, Silas Hiatt, came to Randolph County, Indiana, in the year 1818, and helped to build the first cabin in Winchester, near the present site of J. Norman’s bank. In 1862, the subject of this biography enlisted as a private soldier in the Fifth Indiana Cavalry,, Ninetieth Regiment. He was promoted to the office of Surgeon. He was in the Department of the Ohio, and was present at the first capture of Knoxville, September 1, 1863. He was also in the battles of Blountville, Danville, Sean Station, Walker’s Ford, and other engagements. After the battle of Walker’s Ford, they were sent to join Gen. Sherman;s Command at Tunnel Hill, and his regiment was sent with Gen. Stoneman to raid Macon, but were nearly all captured by the rebels. Surg. Hiatt was detailed to return to Marietta, Ga., to take care of the sick and wounded, and was shortly afterward sent to Indianapolis, Ind., before the State election of 1864, and remained until after the Presidential election, and was assigned to do duty as Examining Surgeon of Recruits. Rejoined his regiment - those who were taken prisoners having, in the meantime, been exchanged. The regiment was again fitted for the field, and ordered to Nashville, to participate in the last fight at that city, but arrived too late take any part in that action. They were next sent to Pulaski, Tenn., where Dr. Hiatt was placed in charge of the hospital as Surgeon, remaining until September, 1865. He had charge of all sick and wounded and about 400 smallpox patients, as well as the sick in the military prison. He finally fell a victim to small-pox, but escaped with a light attack. Under a law giving three month’s pay as a bounty to all officers who should remain to the close of the war, he remained and drew the bounty.” (R110).
