EULOGY FOR DR. THOMAS G. HIGGINS 
   (Senate - September 23, 1993)
[Page: S12291]
Mr. SASSER. Madam President, I rise today to pay tribute to Dr. Thomas G. Higgins. Dr. Higgins passed away on September 17 (1993). 

It is fair to say that Dr. Higgins devoted his entire career to the service of his country. Though he spent many years in the U.S. Navy, even as a private citizen he worked ceaselessly to the benefit of the U.S. Government. 

Dr. Higgins served honorably in the Navy as an aviator. After earning his doctorate in logistics, he designed the system which the Navy uses today to manage its operational support aircraft. 

After leaving the Navy, however, Dr. Higgins continued to serve the Government in other capacities. While operating a number of private concerns, Dr. Higgins gave selflessly of his time, energy, and expertise to encourage other Government uses for the system he designed. 

Let me be clear about one thing: Dr. Higgins had no proprietary interest in this system. He designed it while in the Navy, and therefore it was Navy property. Dr. Higgins worked so hard, and gave so freely of himself, simply because he believed that Government-wide use of his system was in the best interest of the country. 

Recent events have proven that Dr. Higgins' efforts were not in vain. Right now, all the military services are working toward implementation of the latest generation of the Navy system. In addition, the General Services Administration is developing a program based on the Navy system which any civilian agency will be able to run on an ordinary personal computer. 

Madam President, these events would not have been possible without the work of Dr. Higgins. 

Dr. Higgins assisted me immeasurably in the course of my investigation of Government aircraft. I believe my investigation has led to considerable improvement in the management of civilian aircraft--and the information and expertise Dr. Higgins provided to me was truly a cornerstone in my investigation. 

Dr. Higgins was a gentleman and a patriot. I believe it is fitting that he will rest in Arlington National Cemetery, in the shadow of the Nation's Capital. Dr. Higgins has left us a legacy for which I am very grateful, and we will always remember him with the deepest affection.

The Historical Authenticity of John Brown's Raid in
Stephen Vincent Benet's 'John Brown's Body'
By Mary Lynn Richardson
From West Virginia History Volume Twenty-Four, Number Two 
Extracts from full text
Benet then tells of Patrick Higgins, the night watchman of the Maryland bridge being shot, leaving a bullet-crease in his scalp.33 

Robert Penn Warren gives this account:34 

The watchman who came to relieve Bill Williams met the
guard on the bridge, struck Captain Owen Brown, and
tore himself away from the men who seized him. "I
didn't know what 'Halt' mint [sic] then any more than
a hog knows about a holiday," once explained Patrick Higginson. . . . 
Warren got the names confused, because the man's name
was Patrick Higgins according to Villard35 and duBois36 and it also was Oliver Brown whom Higgins struck. It was about this time that the B&O train was due in Harpers Ferry. Higgins got away and warned the train.37 The train arrived at the station known as the Wager House38 and Brown's men shot the colored
porter.39

A Civil War Hero
By: Roberta & J. Hurley Hagood

One of Hannibal's unsung heroes of the Civil War is Medal of Honor recipient Thomas H Higgins. His grave in the Holy Family Cemetery, commonly still called St. Mary's Cemetery, is marked by a modest stone. He died Aug. 16, 1917, at his home at 217 S. Fourth St.

His act of bravery has been described in numerous books which tell the stories of Medal of Honor recipients. This act of bravery occurred on May 22, 1863, in the siege of Vickburg on the Baldwin Ferry Road. The Union forces, specifically the 99th Illinois Regiment, made an assault on a Confederate stronghold occupied by the 2nd Texas regiment. The Confederates repulsed the Union regiment by a volley of fire, from behind a protected bulwark. It was a Confederate victory.

Suddenly, Confederate officer Charles I Evans observed a lone Union soldier running toward the Confederate breastworks bearing the United States Flag. It was Thomas Higgins, color bearer of the Illinois 99th. He was advancing alone, as all of his comrades lay dead or wounded on the battlefield.
Higgins did not falter in his advance although directly in the line of fire. Miraculously he escaped being hit.

Confederate officer Evans gave an order for the men to stop firing. The firing stopped and Evans, who felt that anyone that brave should be spared, took the flag from Higgins and took him prisoner, as was his duty. Higgins was a prisoner until he was released in August 1863 in a prisoner exchange after the fall of Vicksburg. He returned to duty and served until 1865 when he was discharged.

An unusual fact about Higgins receiving the Medal of Honor was that he was recommended for it by Confederate officer Evans.

Since Higgins was a Union soldier this was most unusual.

Evans and Higgins exchanged correspondence, maintaining a friendship after the Civil War ended. Years passed and Evans learned that the medal had never been awarded to Higgins due to an unexplainable delay. Evans requested that the medal be sent to Higgins. Letters from officers and members of the Illinois 99th were secured, as well as from Texas men who witnessed the event.

Higgins received the Medal of honor on April 5, 1898. 

In his personal correspondence Higgins always insisted that his act was not remarkable. He wrote, "the medal was a recognition of an act which I thought at the time was simply a soldiers duty. He related that his commanding officer had instructed his men to proceed until they reached the enemy's breastworks.

Another particular of the case which is of special interest to Hannibal readers occurred during the Hannibal Street Fair on Oct. 14, 1898. A comrade who had served in battle with him, Michael Lane, came from Illinois to see the medal and congratulate Higgins.
Higgins had proudly fastened the medal to his jacket. The two men started walking from the riverfront to the post office at Sixth and Broadway, as Higgins wanted Lane to meet his son who was a postal employee. After walking some distance they noticed that the medal was not on Higgins' jacket but had fallen off somewhere between the riverfront and the post office.

They retraced their steps, but a rain earlier that day had caused many parts of the path they had followed to become muddy. Horse and wagon traffic had been heavy that day due to the fair. Other sympathetic friends joined in the search but to no avail. They were certain it had become mired down in the mud, or picked up by someone not realizing its value. The next day an advertisement was placed in the local newspaper, "Lost and Found" column, but it elicited no response.

Hannibal Postmaster Charles M  Alger, brother of the U.S. Secretary of War Alger, headed up an effort to secure a duplicate medal. Letters were again secured from comrades and officers of the Illinois 99th, from Evans, and from local character references who had known Higgins many years.

Consequently, in July 1899, another Medal of Honor was sent to Higgins. The Medal of Honor is often called the Congressional Medal of Honor because the recognition was created during the Civil War in 1862, by Congress. The recipients joined an organization, later formed, called the Congressional Medal of Honor Society, but the medal itself is properly called "Medal of Honor.� Its design has been changed several times throughout the years.

Thomas H. Higgins was born in Canada, but he came to Hannibal in 1854. He worked at the trade of shoe-maker, or cobbler. In those days before shoe factories, all shoes were hand made. In 1856 he married Mary Sullivan. They had four children. Mary Sullivan died in 1905.

Although he was a Hannibal resident, he enlisted in Barry, Ill. In the early days of the war, if Hannibal men wished to enlist in the Union forces, they went to Illinois, usually Quincy or Barry.

The writers of this story have obtained from the U. S. National Archives and other sources, copies of all of Higgins service records, family records, and correspondence about the incidents related above. These papers and records have been placed in the "vertical file" of the Hannibal Public Library for study.

It is fitting that on this Memorial Day that recognition and appreciation for one of Hannibal's Medal of Honor recipients be included among the other brave men from the area who have served in more recent wars.
