      Charles Hill, who played the fife while the Callaway Guards marched out of Fulton, was a "strong Union man." Hill was arbitrarily murdered by Union troops, along with William and David Givens, a father and son, in September of 1862 at the "Prairie Grove Massacre."

      Charles Hill was killed during the Civil War in Callaway Co. Missouri. From the book, History of Callaway County, page 395:

      During the month of October, 1862, William R. Given and David Given, his son, and Charles Hill, were killed at the reidence of the former, seven miles northwest of Fulton, under the following circumstances:

      A company of rebels had camped in the neighborhood of Given's house, and by accident, one of the men belonging to this company had been dangerously wounded. The wounded man was taken to Given's house by his comrades. This fact had been made known to the commander of the militia at Fulton, who had charge of about one hundred men, composed largely of Germans. This company was sent out to attack and disperse the rebels, but before this was done, the company went to Given's house, and took William R. Given, David Given and Charles Hill prisoners, and placed them in Mr. Given's buggy house under guard. These parties at the time of their arrest were building a school-house, but a short distance from Given's residence, and were found on the roof of the same, nailing on shingles. Hill was a Union man, but Given and his son were Southern sympathizers. After making the arrest, the company of Union men were attacked by the rebels. The guards having the prisoners in charge asked the officer in command what must be done with the prisoners. The officer answered, by telling them to shoot them, which was accordingly done. Hill was killed instantly; William R. Given lived twenty-four hours, and David forty-eight hours after they were shot.
