FOURTH OHIO INFANTRY.

The Fourth Ohio was organized on the 25th of April, 1861, for three months' service, under Col. Lorin Andrews. A few weeks later when the President called for three years' men, the majority of this regiment was mustered in for three years' service, on the 5th of June, 1861. It took the field under McClellan in West Virginia, and was present at the battle of Rich Mountain, though not actively engaged. On the 7th of September, three companies A, F and K, were engaged in a skirmish at Petersburg, Va., and captured a large quantity of provisions and a number of prisoners. On the 24th, six companies proceeded to Romney, and after a sharp encounter drove the enemy from that place. The regiment lost on this occasion thirty-two men wounded. Col. Andrews having died, John S. Mason was made Colonel and assumed command on the 14th of October. The Fourth then marched to New Creek, where it joined Gen. Kelly's command and moved on the rebels at Romney and Blue Gap, capturing all the camp equipage, several pieces of artillery and many prisoners. The regiment was transferred to the Army of the Potomac and served in the Peninsula campaign. In December it was engaged in the battle of Fredericksburg, losing five officers and forty-three men, out of the 115 engaged. From this time until the movement upon Chancellorsville, the Fourth remained quietly in camp, near Falmouth. On the 3d of May it was actively engaged, capturing a stand of colors and over 100 prisoners. The regiment lost in this affair seventy-eight killed and wounded out of the 352 engaged. In July it participated in the battle of Gettysburg, Penn., with a loss of three officers and thirty-four men killed and wounded, and after the battle followed in pursuit of the retreating rebels as far as the Rappahannock; then moved to New York to enforce the draft. In September it proceeded to West Virginia and participated in the movements of Gen. Grant until its term of service had expired. The main part of the regiment was mustered out in September, 1864. Those who had re-enlisted as veterans were organized into a battalion called the Fourth Ohio Battalion, and operated in or near Washington D. C., until mustered out at the close of the war.

THIRTEENTH OHIO INFANTRY.

On Tuesday, the 15th day of April, 1861 the citizens of Marysville held a large and enthusiastic meeting at the court house, for the purpose of an expression of sentiment and of calling for volunteers.

Resolutions expressing fidelity to the Union were adopted by a unanimous affirmation. Immediately after the adjournment of the meeting, the crowd re-assembled in front of the court house and, after hoisting the glorious old "star spangled banner" amid the cheers of the multitude, a call was made for volunteers when about thirty men stepped into the ranks the number soon after being increased to seventy-five by accessions from other parts of the county.

On the 25th the organization of the company was completed, J. G. Hawkins having been elected Captain, M. C. Lawrence, First Lieutenant, and J. Slocum, Second Lieutenant; an after receiving a handsome flag, presented by Miss Mary Coe, in behalf of the ladies of the town, the company proceeded to Columbus and was assigned as Company D, of the Thirteenth Ohio Infantry, which was organized on the 30th of April, 1861, for three months' service.

Capt. J. G. Hawkins was promoted to Major of the regiment, Lieut. Slocum was elected Captain to fill the vacancy occasioned by Capt Hawkins' promotion, and R. R. Henderson was promoted to Sergeant Major in the Regimental Staff.

On the re-organization of the Thirteenth for three years' service, J. Slocum was commissioned Captain; J. D. Smith, First Lieutenant and C. P. Cavis, Second Lieutenant, of Company F, recruited at Marysville. And Maj. Hawkins was soon promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, then to Colonel of his regiment.

Company F soon became one of the best drilled and disciplined in the regiment. In a report of the battle of Shiloh, one of the regimental officers made the following statement: "No other company was more conspicuous during the action than Company F. Their cool bravery and steady bearing won for them great credit."

Besides Company F, Union County was represented in Companies A, B, C, D. E, G, H and I, of this regiment. Of the 160 men from this county who enlisted in the Thirteenth Ohio for three years' service twenty were killed, seventeen were wounded and twenty-five died of disease.

The Thirteenth Ohio was organized in April, 1861, under the command of A. S. Piatt, as Colonel; C. B. Mason, Lieutenant Colonel, and J. G. Hawkins, Major. Col. Piatt was soon succeeded by Col. W. S. Smith, who was ap-

MILITARY RECORD. - 455

pointed Brigadier General of volunteers in May, 1862, and Col. J. G. Hawkins, of Union County, assumed command of the regiment.

The months of May and June were spent in drill and discipline at Camp Dennison, and in July the regiment joined Gen. McClellan's forces, then operating in Western Virginia. In the battle at Carnifex Ferry, September 10, its courage and discipline were tested, and not found wanting. From this time until the 6th of November, the regiment was encamped at Gauley Bridge, having frequent skirmishes with the enemy; it then joined the forces in pursuit of Gen. Floyd, and participated in the engagement at Cotton Hill, losing one killed and two wounded.

The rebels having been driven from West Virginia, and the National forces withdrawn from that section, the Thirteenth went into camp near Jeffersonville, Ind.

On the 13th of December, it joined Gen. Buell's army in Kentucky, where it remained in camp until February, 1862. It formed the advance of Buell's forces on Nashville, and after stopping to repair an important bridge over the Cumberland, which was damaged by the enemy in their retreat, arrived at Nashville on the 26th, marched through the city, and camped two miles beyond.

On the 10th of March the regiment was ordered to report to Gen. Crittenden. On the 19th, Companies A and G were detached to assist in repairing bridges on the Alabama and Tennessee Rivers, and on April 2, the remaining companies, under command of Lieut. Col. Hawkins, joined the column on the march to re-enforce Gen. Grant at Pittsburg Landing.

The scene of action was reached on the 6th, and the regiment immediately moved forward to meet the foe. In a desperate struggle with the Washington Battery, of New Orleans, the Thirteenth captured it entire, but only to lose it in a charge made by the enemy in larger numbers; later in the day, however, the "famed guns" were again in the possession of the regiment.

The enemy having retreated, the Thirteenth joined in the investment, of Corinth, and after the evacuation moved with Buell's army in the advance upon Chattanooga. On the 24th of June, it crossed the Tennessee River to Florence, Ala.; on July 1, reached Huntsville, and on the 16th went into camp at that well known spot, "Battle Creek," where they remained until August 21, subsisting on half rations the greater part of the time.

In the meantime Bragg had left Chattanooga, and was on his way to Louisville, Ky., with designs on Ohio and Indiana. Then commenced the "never-to-be-forgotten" march of the Army of the Ohio. For thirty-six long, weary days, the National soldiers labored on after the exultant enemy, suffering intensely from hunger and thirst, excessive heat and suffocating dust. On the 26th of September, Louisville was reached, having passed the enemy on a parallel road, and after resting a few days the pursuit of Bragg was continued. On the 30th of October, Gen. William S. Rosecrans was assigned to the command of the Army of the Ohio, who, on reviewing the Fifth Division, December 2, paid a high compliment to the Thirteenth, and referred to their gallant service in West Virginia. From this time until the advance on Murfreesboro, the regiment was constantly employed in foraging, picket duty and skirmishing. An encounter near Lavergne with Wheeler's cavalry resulted in the loss of two men killed and several wounded, and one officer captured. On the 26th of December, the advance commenced, the enemy withdrawing slowly and fighting as they retreated. On the be 27th, Lavergne was evacuated, and after resting on the 28th (Sunday) the army arrived at Stone River on the evening of the 29th. On Wednesday, December 31, the Thirteenth, under Col. J. G. Hawkins, assisted in the rescue of a train that was about to be captured by the rebel cavalry. A few hours later, the terrible but brief struggle commenced, which cost the regiment 142 officers and men in killed, wounded and missing. It was in this engagement that Col. Hawkins was killed. On January 2, 1863, the Thirteenth again participated in the fighting, and on the morning of the 3d, Murfreesboro was evacuated and the enemy retreating. During this series of battles, the regiment lost 185 officers and men.

On June 24, the line of march was resumed, and the army moved southward. On September 9, Chattanooga was reached, and the Thirteenth, marching through, encamped at Roseville, a few miles farther south. It took an active part in the battle of Chickamauga, on the 19th and 20th, and on the 22d was engaged in a brisk skirmish on Mission Ridge, then withdrew to the intrenchments of Chattanooga, where it remained until November 23. In the charge upon Mission Ridge, the regiment conducted itself with conspicuous bravery, and, it is claimed, was the first to plant its colors on the rebel works. It joined the advance to the relief of Knoxville, and pursued the enemy across the Holstein River to Dandridge, twenty-five miles from the North Carolina line, then returned to Knoxville. During these marches, the men suffered severely from exposure and hunger. In January, 1864. about three-fourths of the Thirteenth re-enlisted for another three years; and, after the furlough home, promptly re-assembled at Camp Chase, and returned in a body to Chattanooga. It was assigned to the Third Brigade, Third Division, Fourth Corps, of the Army of the Cumberland, under the command of Maj. Gen. George H. Thomas.

In May, 1864, the regiment entered upon the Atlanta campaign, and after some hard skirmishing gained possession of Tunnel Hill, Rocky Face Ridge and Dalton, driving the enemy into the fortifications at Resaca. In the assault upon Lost Mountain on the 27th of May, the Thirteenth took a prominent part: the ammunition failing, the officer in com-

mand with his own hands took the cartridges from the boxes of the killed and wounded and distributed them among his men.

The forces unable to make any impression on the enemy's works, were withdrawn, the regiment losing on this occasion fifty killed, wounded and prisoners. On the 9th of June, it went into camp at Acworth, keeping up a continuous skirmish with the retreating enemy.

About this time, the term of enlistment of the non-veterans expired and orders were received for their transportation to Chattanooga, where they were paid off and discharged. The veterans of the regiment were consolidated into a battalion of four companies, to be called the Thirteenth Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry Battalion. It participated in the engagements at Kenesaw, Atlanta, Jonesboro and Lovejoy, then went into camp six miles north of Atlanta. On the 4th of October, the battalion joined in the pursuit of Hood into Tennessee; encountering the enemy at Franklin, a severe Struggle ensued in which the National troops were again successful. On December 3, the Thirteenth Battalion entered Nashville, and from this time until the battles of the 15th and 16th was constantly engaged in skirmishing and picket firing. In the battle of the 16th, in a charge made by the Third Brigade, the Thirteenth was among the first over the works and assisted in the capture of four guns. After the defeat at Nashville, the confederate army retreated rapidly and the battalion remained quietly in camp at Huntsville, Ala.

On the 16th of June, the Thirteenth with the Fourteenth corps was ordered to Texas, where It remained in service until December 5, 1865, returning to Ohio it was discharged at Columbus January 17, 1866.

One of the first of the many brave men who fell at Stone River, was Col. J. G. Hawkins, on whose death the officers of the Thirteenth Ohio Volunteer Infantry took the following action:

HEADQUARTERS, THIRTEENTH O. V. I. MURFREESBORO, Tenn., January 8, 1863.

At a meeting of the officers of the Thirteenth Regiment O. V. I., convened at the tent of Maj. Dwight Jarvis, Jr., commanding, for the purpose of giving expression to their feelings relative to the death of their commander, Col. Joseph G. Hawkins, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted, viz.:

WHEREAS, By the decrees of Divine Providence, Col. Joseph G. Hawkins has been snatched from us while nobly leading his men in battle.

Resolved, That in the death of Col. Hawkins, his country has lost one of its noblest defenders, whilst his regiment has to mourn the loss of its noblest officer. Energetic in action, prompt, determined, quick to a seize the favorable moment, he was ever ready for the emergency, and to him this regiment is mainly indebted for whatever efficiency it may now claim. Col. Hawkins' character exhibited the best traits of the Christian soldier; self-sacrificing but firm. There was no compromising wrong with him. "I will do right as far as I know," was his favorite maxim, and we are here this day to testify that his life was an exemplification of this rule and that we mourn his loss as a father and a friend. In the strength of his manhood, he died in the very front of the battle. The hero's death was his and his deeds will live after him in the hearts of a grateful people.

Resolved, That. in view of the high estimation we entertain for the character of our late beloved commander, the committee on resolutions be authorized to contract for and have erected a suitable monument over his remains.

Resolved, That the usual badge of mourning be worn for thirty days.

Resolved, That we tender to the wife and family of the deceased our heartfelt sympathy.

Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to them and that the same be published.

This regiment was organized for three months' service under Col. James Irvine, in April, 1861, and for three years under Col. John F. DeCourcey, October 2, 1861. It spent the following winter operating under Gen. Thomas in Kentucky, and in the spring of 1862 was at Cumberland Gap, with Gen. Morgan. When the enemy retreated from this stronghold, the Sixteenth was the first regiment to enter the works and hoist the stars and stripes. In August it encountered the rebels on the Main Hill road, and after a determined resistance for several hours, was finally forced to fall back to the intrenchment.

Owing to the scarcity of provisions, the National forces left the Gap in September, and marched through Kentucky to Greenupsburg, suffering severely on the way from hunger and thirst.

In October, the regiment moved into Virginia, and in November proceeded to Memphis, Tenn. in December, it joined Sherman at Chickasaw Bayou, near Vicksburg, in which battle the regiment lost 311 officers and men in killed, wounded and prisoners, The Sixteenth was next engaged in the successful assault upon Arkansas Post; then proceeded to Young's Point, La., where it remained until March, 1864.

In April, it moved with Gen. Grant to the rear of Vicksburg, and in May was engaged in the battles at Thompson's Hill, Champion Hills and Black River Bridge, remaining during the siege of Vicksburg until the surrender. In these various engagements the regiment lost heavily in-killed and wounded. It participated in the siege and capture of Jackson, then joined Gen. Banks, on the Red River, and in October returned to Columbus, Ohio, where it was mustered out on the 31st of October, 1864.

During its service, the Sixteenth traveled by railroad 1,285 miles; by steamboat, 3,619 miles; by steamship, 1,200 miles, and on foot, 1,621 miles.

The total number of deaths from all causes in the regiment was 251. There were killed in battle and died of their wounds two officers and sixty men. The number of officers and men mustered out at the expiration of its term of service was 477, all that was left of 1,191, the total of original organization and recruits.

Forty-five men were recruited in this county for the Sixteenth Regiment, and assigned to Company F.

H. S. Wood, of Union County, was promoted to First Lieutenant, and John A. Phillips, John H. Gray and Lorenzo Moses, were appointed Sergeants.

Some of Union County's bravest and best soldiers were in this company. They saw much hard service, and their losses were very heavy.

SEVENTEENTH OHIO INFANTRY - (THREE MONTHS)

The Seventeenth Ohio was reorganized in August, 1861, for three years' service, under Col. John M. Connell, and Lieut. Col. Durbin Ward. It was ordered to Kentucky in September, and reported at Camp Dick Robinson on the 2d of October. From thence it proceeded to Wild Cat, and was engaged in the battle at that place, losing seven men wounded.

It took part in the engagement at Mill Springs, then marched to Louisville, Ky., and embarked for Nashville, Tenn., where it arrived on the 3d of March, 1862. Then moved across the country to Shiloh, but arrived too late to take part in the battle.

It participated in the siege at Corinth, and was actively engaged in several severe skirmishes. The regiment followed in pursuit of the retreating rebels as far as Booneville, Miss., returning via Corinth and Iuka. to Tuscumbia, Ala., then marched with Buell's forces into Kentucky, was present at the battle of Perryville, but not actively engaged; was with Rosecrans. at Stone River, and took a prominent part in the battle of December 31, with a loss of twenty wounded. The Seventeenth joined the Tullahoma campaign, and, with its brigade at Hoover's Gap, shared in a gallant charge upon the Seventeenth Tennessee Rebel Regiment, driving them from their position, and gaining possession of their works.

"This charge was executed with such coolness and determination as to draw the particular attention of Gen. Thomas."

In the battle of Chickamauga, the regiment was badly cut to pieces, leaving the field with but fifty-two men. The loss of the Seventeenth in this engagement was over two hundred, in killed and wounded. During the siege in Chattanooga, the regiment was engaged in a number of skirmishes, then shared in the action at Brown's Ferry, and in the assault upon Mission Ridge, where it captured a rebel battery, and turned the guns upon the enemy.

In January, 1864, the Seventeenth re-enlisted as veterans, and after the furlough home returned to the field in March, with over four

hundred recruits, and followed Sherman through the Atlanta campaign. It was engaged in the skirmish of Rocky Face Ridge, and lost heavily in the battle of Resaca; and from that time until the fall of Atlanta, the regiment was almost constantly under fire, taking an active part at New Hope Church, Pumpkin Vine Creek, Kenesaw Mountain, Peach Tree Creek and Jonesboro. It marched with Sherman to the sea and through the Carolinas, took part in the last battle of the war at Bentonville, passed in review before the President at Washington, then moved to Louisville, Ky., where it was mustered out in July, 1865 .

About forty men were recruited in Union County, for Company C of this regiment, ten of whom died in the hospitals, of wounds or disease, four were wounded, and one was taken prisoner, making a total loss of fifteen, or more then one-third of the detachment.

The Seventeenth Ohio "was in the service from the beginning of the war. It was always at the front-never doing a single day's service in mere garrison duty. It served under nearly all the famous commanders-McClellan, Buell, Rosecrans, Thomas, Grant, Halleck, Sherman and Schofield. It held an honorable place from the first in that noted corps, Thomas' Fourteenth, and was never driven save at Chickamauga; even then it quit the field only under orders, and at nightfall."

THIRTIETH OHIO INFANTRY.

Company E, of the Thirtieth Ohio Infantry, was organized by Capt. Elijah Warner, at Jerome, Union County, Ohio, in the month of August, 1861, and marched thence to Camp Chase, a distance of twenty miles, where it arrived on the 19th day of August. On the 29th, the company was mustered into the United States service, with the following commissioned officers: Elijah Warner, Captain; Henry R. Brinkerhoff, First Lieutenant, and Henry Hensel, Second Lieutenant.

The Thirtieth Ohio Volunteer Infantry was organized at Camp Chase on the 28th of August, 1861, under Col. John Groesbeck, who was soon succeeded by Col. Hugh Ewing. On the 30th, the regiment was ordered into the field and on the 2d of September arrived at Clarksburg, W. Va., then moved forward to Weston, where it received its first outfit of camp and garrison equipage. On September 6, the regiment joined Gen. Rosecrans at Sutton Heights, leaving four companies, D, F, G, and I, at this place and two, C, and E. at Big Birch Bottom the remainder of the regiment moved forward and on the evening of the 10th discerned the enemy near Gawley River, at Carnifex Ferry, where a sharp encounter ensued; night coming on, ended the battle. Early on the following morning, it was discovered that the enemy had evacuated their position and retreated across the river.

Col. Ewing was the first man to enter the deserted fortifications. He found, amid a multitude of camp and garrison spoils, two fine French dress swords; one bearing the coat of arms of Napoleon I, and a stand of colors bearing the following inscription:

" FLOYD'S BRIGADE."

The price of Liberty is the blood of the Brave."On December 25, the regiment held its first dress parade at Fayetteville, and from this time until August, 1862, served in detachments. On the 16th, the Thirtieth started to join the army in Eastern Virginia ; the right

wing reported for duty at Gen. Pope's headquarters on the 26th, and after the engagement at Centerville the left wing joined the right, having been under fire but not engaged with the musketry in the battle at this place.

On the 2d of September, the regiment was relieved from duty at Gen. Pope's headquarters and joined its brigade-the First-at Upton Hills. On the 7th, it moved to Frederick City, Md., and on the 14th arrived at South Mountain where a severe struggle with the enemy took place, with a loss of eighteen men killed and forty-eight wounded. In this engagement Company E suffered most severely, having one killed and six wounded.

In the battle at Antietam, the Thirtieth, lacking proper support, was thrown into slight confusion and compelled to fall back. It lost three officers killed and two wounded, eight men killed and thirty-seven wounded. The National colors were torn in fourteen places by the enemy's balls, and two color-bearers, Sergts. Saxie Carter and Nathan J. White, fell dead on the field. A stand of colors was rescued on this occasion by David McKim, of Company E.

On the 10th of October, the Thirtieth moved into West Virginia, and on the 13th of November went into camp near Cannelton. A few weeks later, it started on a march into Logan County, returning with seventeen prisoners and seventy-five horses. In January, 1863, it moved down the Ohio and Mississippi to join Gen. Grant's army, and on arriving at Helena, Ark., was assigned to the Third Brigade, Second Division of the Fifteenth Army Corps. On the 21st it landed at Youngs Point, and for a few weeks worked on the canal at that at place. In March it moved to the relief of some gunboat in Steel's Bayou, returning to Young's Point on the 28th.

On the 29th of April, the regiment embarked on the R. B. Hamilton, and with other troops engaged in a demonstration on Haines' Bluffs. In May, it joined in the movement upon Vicksburg, and from the 20th until the surrender of this stronghold the regiment was constantly engaged either in fatigue and picket duty or in assaulting the enemy's works. The loss of the Thirtieth during the siege was one commissioned officer killed and six wounded, six men killed and forty-eight wounded. After the surrender of Vicksburg, the regiment pursued Johnson to Jackson, and upon the evacuation of that place returned and went into camp at Black River.

On the 26th of September, it moved with Sherman via Memphis to Chattanooga, and on the 25th of October participated in the assault upon Mission Ridge, losing thirty-nine men killed and wounded.

In November, the Thirtieth followed in pursuit of the retreating rebels, returning to Bridgeport, Ala., on the 19th of December; I during this time the men were compelled to subsist off the country with the exception of two days' rations issued on the 29th day of November.

In January, 1864, the regiment re-enlisted, and after the furlough home joined Sherman's forces at Kingston, Ga., on the 20th of May. On the 23d, it started on the march through Dallas and Acworth, and on the 19th of June arrived at the foot of Kenesaw Mountain; during this march, the 30th was almost continuously under fire. It took an active part in the battle on the 26th, losing thirty-five men killed and wounded. On July 2, the regiment moved toward Atlanta, and on the 22d was attacked and thrown into some confusion at first, but soon rallied and succeeded in repulsing the enemy, not however, without considerable loss. On the 28th, the regiment gallantly stood its ground and resisted four successive attacks of the enemy, losing thirty men killed and wounded. Under its fire, the foe forsook a stand of colors and in its immediate front

106 dead rebels were found.

The Thirtieth was transferred to the First Brigade on the 5th of August, and on the 29th the non-veterans were mustered out. On the 31st, the rebels attacked the line of the First Brigade, but were repulsed, the Thirtieth losing in this encounter twenty-five men killed and wounded.

On the 2d of September, Jonesboro was evacuated by the enemy, the regiment pursuing them to Lovejoy's Station. After spending several weeks in camp at East Point, the Thirtieth followed in the pursuit of Hood's army into Alabama, returned to Atlanta, then marched to Fort McAllister and took part in the successful assault on that place.

After the fall of Savannah, the regiment passed through the Carolinas, having a sharp engagement with Johnson at Bentonville, and frequent skirmishes with the enemy. It arrived at Goldsboro March 24, 1865 ; then proceeded to Raleigh on the 14th of April, and aided in the capture of Johnson's army.

The Thirtieth marched to Washington via Richmond, and after passing in review, moved to Louisville, Ky., and thence to Little Rock, Ark. Here the regiment remained in camp until mustered out August 21, 1865, having participated in twenty different engagements, and having its colors shot in almost every battle.

Company E lost, while in the field, ten killed, fifteen wounded, and twenty-eight died of disease contracted in the service.

MILITARY RECORD. - 469

THIRTY-FIRST OHIO INFANTRY.

The Thirty-first Ohio Infantry was organized at Camp Chase, in August, 1861, under Col. Moses B. Walker.

Company F, of this regiment, was recruited in Union County, and mustered into the service with A. J. Sterling as Captain; J. A. Cahill, First Lieutenant; John Hartshorn, Second Lieutenant, and J. J. Miller; First Sergeant.

Of the one hundred and fifteen men from this county who served in Company F, twenty-four died on the field and in the hospitals, twenty-eight were wounded, and five were taken prisoners. Several other companies of this regiment also contained representatives from Union County.

About the 1st of October, the Thirty-first crossed the Ohio River and entered Kentucky, where it was disciplined, drilled, and prepared for the duties of the field. In January, 1862, it marched to the assistance of Gen. Thomas, and took part in the battle of Mill Springs, after which it was assigned to the First Brigade, First Division, Army of the Ohio.

It joined Buell's army at Nashville, moved to Pittsburg Landing, then took part in the siege of Corinth. In June, it moved upon Iuka, and, after its capture, proceeded toward Tuscumbia. The Thirty-first continued to operate in Tennessee until Buell's campaign in Kentucky opened, when it participated in that terrible march from Battle Creek to Louisville, and wait present at the battle of Perryville, Ky. In November, the regiment, unaided by other troops, defeated a brigade of Confederate cavalry, commanded by Gen. Bazel Duke, near Gallatin, Tenn.

The Thirty-first was assigned to the Fourteenth Army Corps at the time that corps was organized, and "the boys" of this regiment wore the "Blue Acorn" signifying the Third Division, Fourteenth Army Corps - until mustered out.

In the battle of Stone River, this regiment occupied the right center, and was in the brigade that turned the rebel lines at Hoover's Gap. Moving through Tullahoma to Chattanooga, it was next engaged at Chickamauga, on the 19th and 20th of September, and held a position on Snodgrass Hill, in that portion of the army commanded by Gen. Thomas in person. In this battle, Company F lost P. L. Seaman, D. M. Cahill and Elmer Danforth, killed; Harrison Hosack and R. S. Res, mortally wounded; Capt. A. J. Sterling, H. S. Colver, J. N. Carter, James Cooley, D. W. McIlroy, J. J. Miller, J. A. North, Allen Strickland, H. N. W. Simmons, J. H. Thompson, Winfield Winters, R. Williams, L . B. Glenn, D. J. Cheney and B. Tucker wounded, and N. F. Swank taken prisoner-twenty-one out of the forty-three who answered to roll-call on the morning of the 19th.

The regiment was next engaged at Brown's Ferry, then followed the battle of Mission Ridge, where the colors of the Thirty-first were the first to wave on the enemy's works. It was specially complimented Tented by General Thomas for its gallant service on this occasion.

In January, 1864, the Thirty-first re-enlisted, and on the expiration of veteran furlough, joined Sherman's army at Ringgold, and was in the front line from Chattanooga to Atlanta, sustaining heavy losses at Resaca, Kenesaw Mountain, Peach Tree Creek and Sand Town Road. Company F lost in this campaign Capt. James A. Cahill, W. W. McKee, William Williams' J , H. Chapman and John Smith, killed; William Knox and S. T. Merrill, mortally wounded, and J. Harriman, E. Clark, S. McNeil, W. M. Blake, E. Brown, M. Blue, T. H. Chapman, H. E. W. Fields, H. T. Shirk, D. J. Phelps and E. Lister, wounded.

This regiment was in the left wing of Sherman's army "while marching through Georgia;" then moving from Savannah through the Carolinas, was in the battle of Bentonville, and near Raleigh at the time of Johnston's surrender; marched to Washington City and took part in the grand review on the 25th of May, 1865.

The Thirty-first was mustered out at Louisville, Ky., July 20, and discharged at Columbus, Ohio, on the 26th of July, 1865, proud to have belonged to the Army of the Cumberland, commanded by George H. Thomas, and of its faded "battle flag," all tattered and torn, which it had carried over the hills of Western Kentucky, against Morgan and Wheeler, across the State of Tennessee to the field of Shiloh and the Siege of Corinth, on Buell's march to Louisville, Ky. Then upon the fields of Perryville, Harrodsburg, Cage Ford, Lavergne, Stone River, Triune, Hoover's Gap, Tullahoma, McMinnville and Chickamauga, where eight of its brave defenders were shot down while bearing the old flag aloft; again at Brown's Ferry and Mission Ridge-where two more of its bearers - fell home on veteran furlough, then into the battles of Tunnel Hill, Rocky Face Gap and Resaca.

The banner was rent with seam and gash," having been pierced by eighty-nine bullets, and the staff by ten more.

THIRTY-SECOND OHIO INFANTRY.

The Thirty-second Ohio Infantry was organized during the summer of 1861, under Col. T. C. Ford and was one of the first regiments to answer the call of the President for three years' service.

Company B, of this regiment, was recruited in Union and Champaign Counties, and was mustered into the service at Camp Chase, August 9, 1861, with the following commissioned officers: W. A. Palmer, Captain; A. B. Parmeter, First Lieutenant, and J. B. Whelpley, Second Lieutenant. It then joined the regiment at Camp Bartley, near Mansfield. Besides Company B, Companies C, D, E, F, G, H. and K also contained men from Union County.

After remaining a short time at Camp Bartley, the regiment was transferred to Camp Dennison, where it was equipped, armed and ordered to the front, joining the Union forces at Cheat Mountain Summit, West Virginia, on the 3d of October. In December, it accompanied Gen. Milroy in the movement upon Camp Allegheny, losing on this occasion four killed and fourteen wounded. After this expedition, the regiment spent the winter in camp at Beverly, and in the spring of 1862 took part in the actions against Camp Alleghany, Huntsville and McDowell. In the engagement at Bull Pasture Mountain, on the 8th of May, when the Union army fell back to Franklin closely followed by the enemy, the Thirty-second was the last regiment to leave the field, and lost on this occasion six killed and fifty-three wounded. While at Franklin, it was transferred to Gen. Schenck's brigade, and was with Gen. Fremont in the Shenandoah Valley, and shared in the engagements at Cross Keys and Port Republic on the 8th and 9th of June. Returning up the valley, it remained at Winchester, Va., until September 1, then moved to Harper's Ferry, losing 150 men in the engagement on the 14th. Of Company B, J. E. Webb was killed; L. A. McIntosh, D. Rose and J. D. Webster, mortally wounded, and T. J. Conner and J. B. Russell, wounded. Capt. Palmer having resigned, the command of the company devolved upon Lieut. George Sinclair, who was promoted to Captain on the 22d of December.

In January, 1868, the regiment was ordered South, joined the army at Memphis Tenn., and was assigned to Logan's division, Seventeenth Army Corps, and was with the army under Grant in his advance in the rear of Vicksburg, taking part in the action at Port Gibson and in the battles of Raymond, Jackson and Champion Hills. In the last-named engagement, it made a bayonet charge, and captured the First Mississippi Rebel Battery. For this feat of gallantry, the battery was turned over to Company F, of this regiment, which became the Twenty-sixth Ohio Battery.

In the assault upon Vicksburg in May, 1863, the regiment was in the front line of the forces operating against that rebel stronghold, and it, with the Fourth Division, Seventeenth Corps, Gen. J. A. Logan commanding, was detailed to take possession at the surrender.

The Thirty-second lost in this campaign and siege 225 men. In July, 1863, the regiment moved with Stevenson to Monroe, La., and in October accompanied McPherson to Brownsville, Miss. In February, 1864, it operated under Sherman at Meridian, then returned to Vicksburg, re-enlisted, and, after the furlough home, joined Sherman's army at Acworth, Ga., on the 10th of June. it was in the Assault on Kenesaw Mountain, on the 27th of June, and at Nicojack Creek on the 10th of July. In the fighting around Atlanta on the 20th, 21st, 22d and 28th, the Thirty-second took an active part, losing more than half its numbers. Of Company B, J. K. Peters, Jacob Fritz, W. B. Mitchell and J. W. Shirk were killed; S. H. Blake and S. Emery, mortally wounded; John Wiley, D. McCloud, R. Columber, C. R. Robinson and M. Sullivan, wounded, and T. C. McDowell, E. C. McMullen, G. F. Peters, William Flago and Gideon Stork, taken prisoners.

472 - UNION COUNTY

After the fall of Atlanta, the regiment joined in the pursuit of Hood, marched with Sherman to the sea, and through the Carolinas, and on the 20th and 21st of March, 1865, took part in the engagement at Bentonville, then moved with the national forces to Raleigh, and was present at Johnston's surrender. Marched through Richmond to Washington, and took part in the grand review before the President and his Cabinet. After which, it moved to Louisville, Ky., was mustered out of the service July 20, then proceeded to Columbus, Ohio, where the men received their final discharge on the 25th day of July, 1865.

It is claimed that the Thirty-second Regiment lost and received more men than any other from Ohio. Company B entered the field in September, 1861, 108 strong, and during the war received sixty-eight recruits, making the total number of enlistments 176. The company lost while in the field ten killed and died of wounds, eleven wounded, seventeen died of disease, and seven taken prisoners.

Russell B. Bennett, Chaplain of the Thirty-second, was known in the Seventeenth Army Corps as the "fighting Chaplain." He first enlisted in the regiment as a private, and was a good and brave soldier in the ranks. When Chaplain Nickerson resigned and left the service, Bennett was promoted to the Chaplaincy of the regiment.

He not only believed in the efficacy of prayer, but also believed in the efficacy of shot and shell, and, instead of remaining in the rear during an engagement, he was always up in the front line, not only to minister to the wounded and dying, but, with gun in hand, took his place in the ranks and encouraged the soldiers by his coolness and bravery.

Of the many instances in which he rendered good services during a battle, we give one as related by the boys of the regiment:

On the day the brave and gallant McPherson fell, July 22, 1864, the Seventeenth Corps was hotly engaged. The Thirty-second Regiment was flanked on all sides, and was compelled to change front several times, not knowing in what direction to next look for the enemy.

At one time, during a few moments lull in the battle, the Thirty-second was lying down in the edge of a corn-field waiting for the next attack, the Chaplain, cautioning the boys to lie very still, and protect themselves as best they could, advanced into the cornfield to make a reconnaissance, and, mounting a stump some forty or fifty yards in front of the line, discovered the battle line of the enemy rapidly advancing, and, moving back to his regiment, passed the word along the line that the enemy were close upon them; then, taking the musket of William B. Mitchell, of Company B--brother to John and James Mitchell, of Marysville-he fired on the advancing line, Mitchell, lying upon the ground, would rapidly re-load the gun, and again Bennett would fire, and all the time exhorting the boys to "lie low" until the enemy were close upon them, then to "fire low."

All this time he stood erect, not seeming to have any thought of his own safety, but only solicitous for the soldiers of the regiment, whom he loved dearly. Mitchell was killed as he lay on the ground, and, his body falling into the hands of the enemy, was never recovered. Bennett was universally respected and loved by all the officers and soldiers of the regiment, and to-day the boys all have a good word for Chaplain Bennett.
