Fifteen Years Ago, or The Patriotism of
Will County, by George H. Woodruff:
Albert
S.
Randall died at Pittsburg Landing, April 3rd, 1862, from
sickness,
consequent upon exposure at the battle of Donaldson.
He was the son of Hon. S.W. Randall, of Joliet,
and was born in Erie, Pa.,
on Aug. 29, 1841, and was therefore but 20 years of age at the time of
his
enlistment in Co. F, of the Twentieth regiment of infantry. Enlisting June 13, 1861, as a private, he was
promoted corporal and afterward sergeant. At
the time of his death he had been appointed division
Post Master.
Young
Randall was but a child when his father removed to Joliet, and was
consequently
one of the our Joliet boys, brought up amongst us, and beloved and
respected by
all as a young man of much promise, being a good scholar and a fine
speaker and
well informed for his years. When on a
visit home he wrote these words upon a fly leaf of one of his fathers
books: "Should anything prevent my
return to this
kind home again, let none but my good deeds be remembered; while my
country was
in danger, I could have no peace unless I shared her perils.” Albert.
