Tenodor aided in organizing Company H, 12th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry in the summer of 1861. He was made corporal and county clerk. On February 19, 1862 he was commisioned captain in the regular army and assigned to the 18th United State Infantry.At the engagement at Chickamunga, September 21, 1863, he was captured and sent to Libby Prison. He participated in digging a tunnel that allowed 115 prisoners to escape on Februay 9, 1864. He remained behind. Attempts to have him released in a prisoner exchange were delayed as he was moved to Danville, Virginia, then Macon, Georgia, then to Charleston, South Carolina, and finally to Columbia, South Caolina where on December 9, 1864 he was paroled.
The parole was due to the tenacity of his wife, who went to Washington and secured an interview with Abraham Lincoln, who issued the order for an exchange of prisoners.
In August 1865, he was ordered to the Platte River country to garrison frontier posts and in May 1866 they were ordered to open a new proposed route to Montana by way of Fort Laramie and the valley of the Upper Yellowstone. He was engaged in the construction and defense of Fort Phil Kearney. He was in command of a relief party to Fort Phil Kearney to recover the 83 killed in the Phil Kerney massacre On December 21, 1866, Captain Fetterman led a party to relieve a wood train that had been attacked by indians.Red Cloud attacked amd massacred the Fetterman unit. Tenodor was placed in command of a relief party to Fetteman, but arrived after the masscre and recovered the bodies of those killed.
In July 1867 he moved his command to Fort Bridger. On December 31, 1870 he was honorably discharged because of illness, but was reinstated and placed on the retired list with rank of Captain.

March 10, 1925Mrs. Helen Hascall Woodward, 94 years old, died on Thursday, March 12, at the home of her granddaughter, Mrs. Burt W. Pierce, in Chicago.
Mrs. Woodward was well known in Saugatuck, where she had been a summer resident for over a quarter of a century, and will be remembered as managing for two years Pokagan Inn in the Park. She was the mother of the late Kate R. Chase.
Mrs. Woodward was born in Mount Morris, N.Y., in 1830, and could tell of many stirring experiences of the war of 1812, as related to her by her father, William Hascall, who fought with honor througout the battles with the British. He went through many of his experiences at Grafton, West Virginia.
Most of Mrs. Woodward's life was passed in Texas, where she was a successful hotel woman, managing hotels at Fort Worth, Marshall and Quamah. She went to Texas in the early pioneer days, and her early experience there was with wild Texas as pictured in the movies.
During the past three years, she had lived with her granddaughter, Mrs. Burt W. Pierce. She is also survived by a son, Dr. Harry S. Woodward of New Orleans.

Find-a-Grave
Charles was born in Auburn, Michigan (about 3 miles east of Pontiac) to Gen. Charles Chandler Hascall & Nancy Rounds (both of NY), the 1st of 3 sons and 5 children.
Charles grew up in Auburn and Pontiac, his father having there a woolen mill, hotel, and store, and also being in the dry goods business. The Hascall family moved to Flint when he was about 11 years old.
It was there he may have worked in the operations of the "Flint Republican", a newspaper his father started. He studied and became a lawyer, and met a daughter of one of the prominent pioneer families of Michigan and Flint, Julia Ann Williams.
They were married by the Rev. Wm. Mahon on Dec 23, 1852 in Flint, probably at Julia's father Ephraim's home. It was sure to have been a festive event.
They had 2 children, both born in Flint:
1. Julia Ella ("Puss"), b.1853
2. Charles Williams ("Willie"), b.1859Sometime in the 1870's Charles went west, perhaps spurred somewhat by the successes of Julia's cousins in the early days of the gold fever in California. He settled in Colorado, where newer deposits were being discovered and mined, perhaps taking care of legal matters for mining concerns, and perhaps mining himself.
In any event wife Julia and the children were back in Michigan.Charles may have been involved in a mine in Silver Cliff in 1879 or so, as his son-in-law was out in Colorado connected with that concern at that time, and both men were lawyers.
Charles evidently never went back to Michigan, as his wife Julia is found living with their married daughter's family for a while in Lapeer, Michigan and then Julia's sister's in Detroit later on. It is said she went out to Colorado to join him after 1880, and was there until he died, when she returned to Detroit.
Charles met with a horrible end... on Nov. 19th 1897 at Cripple Creek he "attempted to escape a runaway team, but was knocked down and run over, a partially loaded heavy wagon breaking his right leg near the thigh, and crushing his chest."

Mr. Hascall formerly carried on lumbering in this locality and had a large mill in Flint. Mrs J. H. Wattles of the latter place is a daughter of of the departed, who also leaves a grandson, F. G. Wattles and brother H. C. Hascall of Flint and sister Mrs. Moses Wisner of Pontiac. Deceased was so well known here that we comply with the request to append the following:
Charles C. Hascall, whose accident terminated in his death Sunday evening, was buried Nov. 30th at Colorado Springs. On Friday, the 26th, Mr. Hascall attempted to stop a runaway team at Cripple Creek, Col. He was run over, leg broken above the knee, several ribs broken, and one rib punctured thr lung. From the first he was beyond hope even. Since his return from Europe some few years ago, he had been a resident of Colorado Springs. His son Charles W. Hascall has a wholesae and retail business there of long standing and is manager of the new opera house etc. Not long since his daughter Mrs. Wattles visited her father and he was in excellant health and expressed himself as most happily situated with his son and daughter-in-law, Mrs. C.W. Hascall who was a favorite of his. At the time of his fatal accident he was looking after the business interests of the firm C.C. & C.W. Hascall at Cripple Creek, where they were largely interested. Mr. Hascall's death is a great blow to his children as everything a prosperous, peaceful old age. To those who knew his generous, unselfish nature, his death seems typical of him. He never stopped to consider himself if he could help others.

December 9, 1915Pontiac, Mich., Dec. 9. - Mrs Angelina Wisner died at her home, 333 Oakland avenue, after eleven weeks illness. Mrs. Wisner was a daughter of Gen. C. C. and Nancy Rounds Hascall, pioneers of Flint. She was born at Auburn, Mich., three miles east of Pontiac, March 4, 1828. She was married in 1848 to Moses Wisner, who in 1858 was Governor of Michigan and who died in 1864(sic).
She is survived by two children, Charles H. Wisner, judge of the Genesee county Curcuit court, and Mrs. Jessie Clark of Detroit. The funeral will be held Monday at the home here. Interment will be in Oak Hill cemetery by the side of her distinguished husband.
Moses was Governor of Michigan in 1858. He died while in the service. He was a Colonel of the 22nd Michigan Infantry.Cast aluminum, official state historical marker of the Michigan Historical Commission, at the Governor Moses Wisner House, 401 Oakland Avenue, Pontiac. The marker was dedicated on June 19, 1961 and was purchased by the Oakland County Historical Foundation. The inscription reads:
"Pine Grove." This was the home of Moses Wisner and his wife Angeolina Hascall. From 1859 to 1861 Wisner served Michigan as governor. He was born in New York, came to Michigan in 1837 and shortly established a successful law practice. In 1844 he purchased this property and in 1845 began construction of the main section of the house. He brought Angeolina here as a bride. Wisner planted various kinds of pine native to Michigan on the premises. During the Civil War he organized and commanded the 22nd Michigan Infantry. He died in Kentucky in 1863. He bequeathed the homestead to his wife who lived here until her death in 1905. Wisner's daughter and granddaughter maintained "Pine Grove" until its purchase m 1945 by the Oakland County Historical Foundation as a center for Oakland County history. Michigan Historical Commission Registered Building No. 7.The Governor Moses Wisner Mansion
One of the main attractions for visitors to Pine Grove is the Greek Revival-Style mansion of former Governor Moses Wisner. Wisner came to Oakland County from New York, as many early settlers did, and in 1845, moved, with his family, onto a parcel of land on what was then known as the "Saginaw Trail". The property contained a small brick house, built ca 1845, a grove full of stately old pine trees, and plenty of land for a stable and orchards. Moses Wisner fondly dubbed the property "Pine Grove".Although Wisner made his living by practicing law, he retained a love of farming which prompted him to buy sufficient land so that he might graze cattle, raise chickens, grow fruit trees and have both vegetable and flower gardens. He built the necessary outbuildings: stock barns about three quarters of a mile from the house on the west side of Oakland Avenue, a smokehouse, ice house and root cellar near the kitchen, a greenhouse with an entrance from the dining room, and a carriage house and hen house beyond the other outbuildings.
In 1858, Wisner was elected the 12th Governor of Michigan, and at that time, there was no governor's mansion in Lansing, so Wisner made changes to the house to accommodate his responsibilities as governor. Wisner did not run for a second term as governor, instead, he turned his attention to organizing the 22nd Michigan Infantry which trained at the Pontiac Fair Grounds. On August 25, 1862, the 22nd Michigan Infantry left Pontiac for Kentucky with Colonel Moses Wisner in command. Before leaving, Wisner conveyed the property on which Pine Grove is located to his wife, Angeolina. Moses Wisner died January 5, 1863, in Kentucky.
Angeolina Hascall Wisner maintained Pine Grove as her home until her death in 1905, although she often spent winters with her children elsewhere. During Mrs. Wisner's later years her daughter, Jessie Clark, along with her husband Alpheus, and their daughter, Florence, spent their summers at Pine Grove. When Mrs. Wisner died, the property passed to Jessie Wisner Clark, and then to Florence Clark Wallace.
In 1945, Mrs. Wallace sold the house and remaining outbuildings to the Oakland County Pioneer and Veterans Historical Foundation and also gave the Foundation many of the Wisner family furnishings, including the parlor furniture and some dining room and bedroom pieces. At the time of the purchase, the root cellar was still standing (but in disrepair), as were the smokehouse, summer kitchen, and carriage house.
Today, Pine Grove consists of 5 1/2 acres of land on Oakland Avenue, the Wisner mansion and several out-buildings, including a summer kitchen, outhouse, smokehouse and root cellar. In addition to the outbuildings, there is the Drayton Plains One-Room Schoolhouse and the Carriage House, which is home to the Reseach Library and the Pioneer Museum.

American Biographical History of Eminent and Self-Made Men with Portrait Illustrations on Steel, Volumes I-IIHon. Moses Wisner formerly of Flint, Ex-Governor of the State of Michigan, was born in Springport, Cayuga County, New York, June 3, 1815. His early education was only what could be obtained at a common school, and embraced such branches as are taught to the sons of farmers and others in moderate circumstances. Agricultural labor, and the frugality of his parents, gave him a physical constitution of unusual strength and endurance,--one which was ever carefully preserved by temperate habits and abstinence from all injurious influences. In 1837 he emigrated to Michigan, and purchased a farm in Lapeer County. It was new land, and he at once set himself at work to clear it and plant crops. He labored diligently at his task for two years, when he gave up the idea of being a farmer, and removed to Pontiac, Oakland County. Here he commenced the study of law, in the office of his brother, George W. Wisner, and Rufus Hosmer, a law firm there in very successful practice. In 1841 he was admitted to the bar, and established himself in his new vocation at the village of Lapeer. While there, he was appointed, by Governor William Woodbridge, Prosecuting Attorney for that county, in which capacity he acquitted himself well, and gave promise of that eminence he afterwards attained in the profession.
He, however, remained at Lapeer but a short time, removing to Pontiac, where, he became a member of the firm there, and entered fully upon practice. In politics, he was, like his talented brother, a Whig of the Henry Clay stamp, but with a decided antislavery bias. His practice becoming extensive, however, he took little part in politics until after the election of Mr. Pierce to the Presidency, in 1852. In the great struggle respecting the freedom of the territories acquired by the Mexican war, he was ever on the side of right, and freely employed his voice and purse in opposition to the schemes of the Democratic party,--North as well as South,--to introduce into these territories the blighting influences of slavery. As a lawyer, he was a man of great ability; but relied less upon mere book-learning than upon his native good sense. Liberal and courteous, he was yet devoted to the interests of his client; and no fact escaped his attention or his memory which bore upon the case. He was no friend of trickery and artifice in the conduct of a case; but, disregarding every thing merely formal and trivial, always met the real merits of the controversy with an intrepidity, a richness of illustration, and a power of argument, that rendered him a most formidable opponent. As an advocate, he had few equals. When fully aroused and warmed by his subject, his elocution was at once graceful and powerful. His fancy supplied the most original, the most pointed illustrations; and his logic became a battling giant, under whose heavy blows the adversary shrank and withered.
To one unacquainted with him, his temperament appeared to be cold and unexcitable--even taciturn and indifferent; but, when inspired by his theme, his feelings were vivid and his imagination active; and woe to the unhappy object of the terse and sententious wit, the rugged logic and fiery sarcasm, which flowed in torrents from his lips. His high, pale brow and jet black hair; his strong and manly form; the solemnity of his mien, and the deep music of his intonations; the lofty utterances of his indignation, sympathy, or respect,--rendered his eloquence at times striking and masterly. Nature had bestowed upon him rare qualities; and, it is needless to say, his powers as a popular orator were of a high order.
On the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, of 1854, repealing the Missouri Compromise, and opening the Territories to slavery, he was among the foremost in Michigan to denounce the shameful scheme. He actively participated in organizing and consolidating the elements opposed to it in that State; and was a member of the popular gathering, at Jackson, in July, 1854, which was the first formal Republican Convention held in the United States. At this meeting, the name "Republican" was adopted as the designation of the new party, consisting of Antislavery Whigs, Liberty-men, Freesoil Democrats, and all others opposed to the extension of slavery, and favorable to its expulsion from the Territories and the District of Columbia,--a party destined, as the history of the last twenty-five years has shown, to grapple successfully, not only with the old Democratic party,--become proud and insolent by long years of alliance with the slave-holders,--but with an armed rebellion, which for five years drenched our land with blood.
At this convention, Mr. Wisner was urged to accept the nomination for Attorney-General of the State, but declined; and Hon. Jacob M. Howard, also a pioneer in the same cause, received the office. An entire State ticket was nominated; and, at the annual election in November, was elected by an average majority of nearly ten thousand. Mr. Wisner was enthusiastic in the cause, and brought to its support all his personal influence and talents. In his views, he was bold and radical. He saw clearly that the long struggle between the North and the South,--that is, between the free-labor and the slave-labor system,--a struggle that had in countless forms disturbed the tranquillity of the country ever since the adoption of the Constitution, was now fast approaching a final crisis, and probably a bloody close. He felt that one of the two must become extinct; and, fully appreciating the magnitude of the issue, his daring soul did not shrink from any form in which it might present itself, be it ballot or bullet, and did not hesitate to warn his countrymen to be prepared for the worst. He believed, from the beginning, that the political power of the slaveholders would have to be overthrown before quiet could be secured to the country. To effect this, he was willing to resort to any means within the reach of the party to which he belonged. He had no fear of disturbing or irritating the slave-power, or of offending its Northern abettors. On the contrary, feeling that his cause was just, that it was the cause of Republican Government, and that upon its success depended the continuance of the Constitution itself, and the liberties of the people, he used the boldest and most defiant language to its enemies, and was ready to resort to the most radical measures. He asked no pardon for his opinions, no favor from the pro-slavery party, but boldly threw into the arena the very existence of the Government as the gauge of battle; for he was deeply convinced that such was the real character of the contest.
When pressing this view upon his audience, his eloquence rose to sublimity; and his prophetic spirit, picturing the future of our country, should the slave party triumph, brought them face to face with the disgrace, the degradation, the slavery, and the ruin, which would be the result. No true man could listen to his impassioned utterances without being moved. It was the eloquence of a man who loved his country; a wise, courageous, earnest man, pleading with his countrymen to stand firmly by the true principles of their Government, and to bear themselves proudly and confidently in its defense.
In the Presidential canvass of 1856, he supported the Fremont, or Republican, ticket. At the session of the Legislature of 1857, he was a candidate for United States Senator, and, as such, received a very handsome support. In 1858 he was nominated for Governor of the State by the Republican Convention that met in Detroit; and, at the subsequent November election, was chosen by a very large majority. Before the day of election, he had addressed the people of almost every county in the State, and his majority was greater even than that of his popular predecessor,--Hon. K. S. Bingham.
He served as Governor two years,--from January 1, 1859, to January 1, 1861. His first message to the Legislature was an able and statesmanlike production, and was received with unusual favor. It showed that he was awake to all the interests of the State, and set forth an enlightened State policy, that had in view the rapid settlement of our uncultivated lands, and the development of our immense agricultural and mineral resources. It was a document that reflected the highest credit upon the author. No chief magistrate has shown a greater devotion to his duties, and to the interests of the State; none, a more disinterested and vigorous administration. During his term was passed the general registration law of the State, requiring every elector to enter his name on the proper book of the township or ward. A system of roads extending into the unsettled parts of the State, to be constructed by means of the proceeds of the State swampland, was adopted, and vigorously prosecuted. That very important work,--the St. Mary's Ship Canal,--uniting the navigation of the lower lakes with that of Lake Superior, and thus aiding to develop the rich copper and iron mines of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, was saved from destruction, and secured against accident from flood or frost. Many other measures of the highest public importance were adopted upon his recommendation, evincing a becoming pride and an enlightened statesmanship.
His term having expired January 1, 1861, he returned to his home in Pontiac, and to the practice of his profession. The civil war broke out. There were those in the State who counseled the sending of delegates to the "Peace Conference" at Washington. Mr. Wisner was opposed to all such temporizing expedients. His counsel was to send no delegates, but to prepare to fight. He foresaw that hard blows and frightful devastation were to be the arbiters between the contending parties; and he predicted the total abolition of slavery as one of the results of the impending war. He spoke of Mr. Lincoln's first call for seventy-five thousand volunteers as puerile and timid, failing in comprehension of the realities of the crisis. After Congress had met, and passed the necessary legislation, he resolved to take part in the war.
He arranged his private business; and, in the spring and summer of 1862, set to work to raise a regiment of infantry, chiefly in Oakland County, where he resided. His regiment--the 22d Michigan--was armed, equipped, and ready to march in September. It was made up of the substantial men of Oakland County,--a robust, earnest, sober, and unflinching body of men, who left their homes and went to the war with the same spirit as their commander,--a regiment whose solid qualities were afterwards proved on many a bloody field. Colonel Wisner's commission bore the date of September 8, 186?
Before parting with his family, he made his will. As the most sacred place in which to deposit the farewell of an affectionate husband and father, he left in it this brief and characteristic document: "My dear children must never forget their father. I know my dear wife never will forget me. Upon the field of battle, next to my country, my last thoughts will be of them. M. Wisner." The regiment was sent to Kentucky, and quartered at Camp Wallace. He had, at the breaking out of the war, turned his attention to military studies, and had become a proficient in the ordinary rules of drill and discipline. His entire attention was now devoted to his duties. His treatment of his men was kind, though his discipline was rigid. He possessed, in an eminent degree, the spirit of command; and, had he lived, would, there can be no doubt, have distinguished himself as a good officer. He was impatient of delay, and chafed at being kept in Kentucky, where there was so little prospect of getting at the enemy.
But life in camp,--so different from the one he had been leading,--and his incessant labors, coupled with that impatience which was so natural and so general among the volunteers in the early part of the war, soon made their influences felt upon his health. He was seized with typhoid fever, and removed to a private house near Lexington. Every care, which medical skill or the hand of friendship could bestow, was rendered him. In the delirious wanderings of his mind, he was disciplining his men, and urging them to be prepared for an encounter with the enemy, enlarging upon the justice of their cause, and the necessity of crushing the rebellion. But the source of his most poignant grief was the prospect of not being able to come to a hand to-hand engagement with the "chivalry." He was proud of his regiment, and felt that if it could find the enemy it would cover itself with glory,--a distinction it afterwards attained, but not until Colonel Wisner was no more. The malady baffled all medical treatment; and, on the 5th of January, 1863, he breathed his last.
His remains were removed to Michigan, and interred in the cemetery at Pontiac, where they rest by the side of the brave General Richardson, who received his mortal wound at the battle of Antietam. Colonel Wisner was no adventurer. Although he was, doubtless, ambitious of military renown, and would have striven for it with characteristic energy, he went to the war to defend and uphold the great principles he had so much at heart. Few men were more familiar than he with the causes and the underlying principles that led to the contest. He left a wife (who was a daughter of General C. C. Hascall, of Flint) and four children to mourn his loss. Towards them, he ever showed the tenderest regard. Next to his duty, their love and their welfare engrossed his thoughts. He was kind, generous, and brave; and, like thousands of others, he sleeps the sleep of the martyr for his country.

The Flint Globe
November 18, 1899The sad intelligence of the death of Henry C. Hascall reached this city on Monday. He died that morning at Gates, Tennessee, where he had been engaged in the manufacture of staves for several years. His disease was apoplexy. Mrs. Hascall had been notified of his illness, also his son Harry of Chicago, and both were present when he died.
Mr. Hascall was a native of this city, and was a son of the late General Charles Hascall. His age was 64, and most of his life had been spent here. During the years that lumbering was a great industry in Flint, he and his brother Charles, now deceased, had a mill located near the present site of the Webster Vehicle Co.'s factory. After the disappearance of the pine available at this point, he was for a time engaged in the stave business with the late Grant Decker, his father in law. Later still he was engaged in the same business on a large scale at Otter Lake. About eight years ago he went south and engaged in the stave business and his operations have been on a large scale.
The members of his family are his wife, three daughters - Mrs. Chester Bliss, of Grand Rapids, Mrs. W. C. Stewart and Miss Nan Hascall, of this city - and two sons - Carlton, of Flint, and Harry, married and residing in Chicago. Two sisters also survive him - Mrs. Wisner, widow of the late Governor Wisner and mother of Judge Wisner,of this city, residing at Pontiac, and Mrs. Edward Sawyer, of Grand Blanc. A brother Charles, died a few years ago.
Mr. Hascall was held in high esteem in this city and wherever well known. He was genial and frank in manner among his friends and was devoted to an unusual degree to his family, by every member of which he was adored.
The remains arrived in the city Tuesday night and the funeral was held from the house at 2 p.m. Wednesday

December 7, 1929Mrs. Isabella Hascall, born in Flint, 82 years ago, the daughter of the city's first mayor, died yesterday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W.E. Stewart, 903 E. Court-st., after an illness of several months.
Mrs. Hascall, was born July 6, 1847, the daughter of Mr. And Mrs. Grant Decker, who were among the first settlers in Flint. The Decker home was at that time located on the present post office site, at Kearsley and Harrison sts. Soon after Mrs. Hascall's birth, the family moved to a new home at what is now Third and Clifford sts., where the old W.A. Patterson residence now stands.
She was married Dec. 13, 1866, the year after the close of the Civil war, to Henry C. Hascall, who died in 1900, was an important factor in the rise of Flint to prominence as a logging and lumber center in its early days. With the exhaustion of the timber supply along Flint river, the Hascall interests were shifted to the south, although the family remained in Flint.
Mrs. Hascall was always a devoted member of St. Paul's Episcopal church, of which her father was one of the founders in Flint. She was also one of the original members of the Daughters of the American Revolution here, and took an active part until prevented by failing health a few years ago.
She is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Chester C.H. Bliss, Mrs. Frank D. Buckingham, and Mrs. W.E. Stewart, all of Flint; two sons, C.C. Hascall, of Marquette, and H.G.
