Horace was born on December 18, 1836, in what he said was South Danvers (now Peabody) where he graduated from high school. He then attended the historical Kimball Union Academy in Meriden, New Hampshire. After completing his studies and anxious to learn about navigation, Horace traveled to China, returned in 1857, and moved to Iowa in 1858 with Aaron Bayless who founded [[BAYLESS BUSINESS COLLEGE]] that same year. (1) The two men worked together until 1860 when Horace accepted a job as bookkeeper in the commission house of Smith & Cannon. (2)

[[Image:poole6.png\|left\|thumb\|150px\|]] He joined the [[GOVERNOR'S GREYS]] and on April 20, 1861, enlisted in the ninety-day 1st Iowa Infantry. The regiment fought in the Battle of Wilson’s Creek. Horace was mustered out at St. Louis on August 20, 1861. In 1862, he re-enlisted in the 21st I.V.I., and was commissioned Adjutant perhaps because of his prior military experience. In February, 1863, he was commissioned Adjutant General, and held that position until the close of the war in July, 1865.

	He ~~returned to~~ Dubuque and in 1870, the firm of [[POOLE, GILLIAM & CO.]], ~~was organized as~~ jobbers and wholesale dealers in fancy groceries, teas, syrups, canned goods, fruits, tobaccos and cigars at 272 Main Street. (3)		There was an outbreak of measles while the regiment was at Camp Franklin, but those able for duty marched through town to the foot of Jones Street, boarded the ''Henry Clay''. From St. Louis they traveled by rail to Rolla where a battalion was formed in the early hours of October 18th. Five days later, from Salem, Horace wrote to the ''Dubuque Times'' and described their march:

			The morning was cool and all stepped off briskly to the tune of ‘The Girl I Left Behind Me,’
			but certainly not in Missouri. At daylight we halted for rest, and to wait for our train,
			some two miles southeast of Rolla, having marched eight miles. In half an hour the white
			covers of our heavy laden wagons were visible, and we again started, the boys in high spirits,
			at the idea of having beaten the 33d Missouri two hours.

			Horace continued his service as Adjutant to Colonel Merrill while the regiment served many months in Missouri before being transported from Ste. Genevieve to Milliken’s Bend, Louisiana, in April 1863. They then participated in a successful campaign to capture the [[MISSISSIPPI RIVER]] town of Vicksburg. That August, Jim Bethard, a private from Clayton County, told his wife that “Adjutant Pool is here putting on regular Houston style.” The regiment next saw service in southwestern Louisiana before being ordered to the Gulf Coast of Texas in November.

			They were still there on February 29, 1864, when Horace Poole was promoted to Assistant Adjutant General (elsewhere Aide de Camp) with the rank of Captain. Four days later he was discharged from the 21st Infantry so he could accept his new commission, something that apparently came as a surprise to Colonel Merrill. On April 12, 1864, Merrill wrote to Governor Kirkwood indicating that Horace “my old Adjutant is promoted tho I have no official information of it.” He asked that George Crooke (the regiment’s postwar biographer) be commissioned since Poole “has not been with us not over two months since the formation of the regiment & our records are in a bad condition.”

			On September 27, 1864, Horace was in Dubuque where he married Frances Langworthy, daughter of [[LANGWORTHY, Solon\|Solon LANGWORTHY]] and his wife, Julia. Still in the military, he had served on the staffs of Generals Fitz Henry Warren, Nathaniel Banks and George Thomas. Poole was discharged on June 27, 1865. (3)

			Returning to Dubuque, he resumed work with Smith & Cannon until 1870 when he organized the firm of [[POOLE, GILLIAM & CO.]], jobbers and wholesale dealers in fancy groceries, teas, syrups, canned goods, fruits, tobaccos and cigars at 272 Main Street.

	There was an outbreak of measles while the regiment was at ~~Camp Franklin~~, but those able for duty marched through ~~town~~ to the foot of Jones Street, boarded the ''Henry Clay''.

	Horace continued his service as Adjutant to Colonel Merrill while the regiment served many months in Missouri before being transported from Ste.

That August, Jim Bethard, a private from Clayton County, told his wife that “Adjutant Pool is here putting on regular Houston style.” The regiment next saw service in southwestern Louisiana before being ordered to the Gulf Coast of Texas in November.

On April 12, 1864, Merrill wrote to Governor Kirkwood indicating that Horace “my old Adjutant is promoted tho I have no official information of it.” He asked that George Crooke (the regiment’s postwar biographer) be commissioned since Poole “has not been with us ~~not~~ over two months since the formation of the regiment & our records are in a bad condition.”		The regiment was still there on February 29, 1864, when Horace was promoted to Assistant Adjutant General (elsewhere Aide de Camp) with the rank of Captain.

	On September 27, 1864, Horace was in Dubuque where he married Frances Langworthy, daughter of [[LANGWORTHY, Solon\|Solon LANGWORTHY]] and his wife, Julia. Still in the military, he had served on the staffs of Generals Fitz Henry Warren, Nathaniel Banks and George Thomas. Poole was discharged on June 27, 1865.

	Returning to Dubuque, he resumed work with ~~Smith & Cannon~~ until 1870 when he organized the firm of [[POOLE, GILLIAM & CO.]], jobbers and wholesale dealers in fancy groceries, teas, syrups, canned goods, fruits, tobaccos and cigars at 272 Main Street.

	The regiment’s first postwar reunion was held in Dubuque for two days starting on September 16, 1872 (ten years after they had left for war), and Horace was one of seventy-four who attended. The regiment’s fifteenth reunion was in 1911 in Central City where Horace was elected Vice President of the regimental association.

At the foot of Jones Street, they boarded a steamer and enjoyed a two-hour ride on the Mississippi. The next day they had an automobile tour of the city and a trip to the site of Camp Franklin where they had received military training so many years earlier.

	The Bureau of Pensions within the Department of the Interior handled claims by Union soldiers for pensions. Laws changed many times to increase the financial benefits, liberalize grounds for pensions, and expand benefits to widows, children under sixteen, and dependent parents. Many returned from the war with severe medical problems and applied almost immediately, but it was April 23, 1904, before Horace requested a pension under the general law of June 27, 1890, and the act of May 9, 1900. At sixty-seven years of age, he said he was totally disabled from performing manual labor “by reason of ~~Rupture~~ and stomach trouble; also by reason of his having passed the age of sixty-five.” On June 4, 1904, a certificate was issued entitling him to an age-based pension of $8.00 monthly payable quarterly through the local Pension Agency. He subsequently applied for and received periodic age-based increases.		The Bureau of Pensions within the Department of the Interior handled claims by Union soldiers for pensions.
