Cincinnati, Ohio, 1874. 100 Share I/C Capital Stock Certificate, S/N #107, Black text with black border, Train passing on tracks at top center. VF condition with a small nick in the top right margin. Signed by John Henry Devereux as Vice President. Robt. Clarke & Co., Prs. Another scarce Ohio railroad. DEVEREUX, JOHN H. (5 Apr. 1832-17 Mar. 1886), was a civil engineer and leading Midwest railroad manager, was born in Boston, and attended Portsmouth Academy in New Hampshire, and at 16 came to Cleveland as a construction engineer on first the Cleveland, Columbus & Cincinnati Railroad, then the Cleveland, Painesville & Ashtabula Railroad. From 1852-61 he worked in Tennessee, joining the Union Army when the Civil War began. In 1862, as a colonel, he was in charge of all Union rail lines in Virginia, in disarray because of damage inflicted by Confederates and conflicts between various Army and government departments using the lines. Devereux improved efficiency, organized inspection and repair units, obtained equipment, enforced use rules, and smoothed differences between departments. Under his supervision, the trains moved large amounts of troops, artillery, and the sick. Devereux resigned as a general in the spring of 1864.
