[4genhassler.FTW]During the Civil War, the Hassler families were divided in their feelings
in regard to the issues of the North and South. David Larkin Hassler's
feelings were toward the South. He was 31 years old when the war began.
Because of his strong family ties, he stayed out of the fight for over a
year, but on Sep 20, 1862, he enlisted in the Confederate Army at
Kingston, TN. He was assigned to Company D, 16th (Neals) Battalion, TN
Calvary. He soon rose to the rank of 2nd Lieutenant, and on June 20,
1863, Lt. Hassler was promoted to the rank of Captain and elected Company
Commander of his unit. Captain Hassler served throughout the war and
returned to his home and family in the Crab Orchard area of TN. The
bitter feelings that had developed during the war were so strong that he
was forced to move with his family to Oakhill in Overton Co., TN, where a
Confederate Veteran was more welcome. It is not nown what caused the
exodus of the children of David Hassler to Pickett Co., but over a period
of years, all eight children lived in and around Love Lady Community. In
1889, after his wife's death, he moved to Pickett County to be near his
children. In 1881, he married the second time to Lee Ann Amonett Barns.
He died Dec. 29, 1892 at his home near Old Berea Church in Pickett
County. His body was returned to Oakhill in Overton County, where he was
buried beside his first wife. David Larkin Hassler was the forefather of
all Pickett County Hasslers.
