Albert Banfield Capron enlisted as a corporal in the 33rd Illinois Infantry at the 
outbreak of the Civil War. He later was transferred as a captain to the 11th Cavalry 
under his father's command, and was elevated to the rank of colonel. He returned to 
his adopted hometown of Winnetka and raised three children -- Horace, Albert, and 
Florence. He died of pneumonia in 1890. 

So many Capron family members joined the military that they were collectively known 
as the "Fighting Caprons".
