Watrous, Jerome A
soldier, journalist, was born Sept. 6, 1840, in Conklin, N. Y. His place in the history of the civil war is forever fixed by the fact of his having been adjutant general of the famous Wisconsin iron brigade. For many years he has been a journalist of reputation, and his historical articles on the civil war published during the last three years in The Times-Herald have been the most widely read literature of their kind in recent years. On June 16, 1898, he was made a paymaster in the regular army, with the rank of major.
