On the 10th of August, 1862, about 100 boys of northern Henry and southern Johnson County
met in an elm grove, about three miles southwest of where Leeton now stands. Doctor Warren
was made captain of the company. The following day Julius F. Wall joined this company. This
company joined the command of General Cockrell in the western part of Henry County and were
sworn into the Confederate service in the afternoon of August 15th. This was about four miles
west of Lone Jack, and in the night of the 15th they marched into Lone Jack, where the battle
was fought on August 16. Julius F. Wall and a number of others of this county were killed in this
battle and were buried by their comrades on the battlefield where they had fallen. After the war a
monument was erected to mark the graves of the Confederate dead.
