Colonel Lindorf Ozburn Lindorf Ozburn, born in Jackson county, Illinois in 1823, married Diza Glenn, John A. Logan's cousin. Ozburn, who served with Logan in the Mexican war, joined the Illinois 31st Infantry at the beginning of the civil war. On Logan's promotion to general, he became its colonel. When Lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation, Ozburn's long-held beliefs forced him to resign his commission. He was killed in Carbondale, Illinois, in 1864 by William Weaver, whom Ozburn had disciplined while in the service. Weaver was arrested and housed in the jail, which once occupied this corner. A mob stormed the jail and killed Weaver.
