CHAPTER XVIII.

WOOD COUNTY IN THE WAR OF THE REBELLION-FIRST WAR MEETING-FIRST COMPANIES REGIMENTAL KETCHES-ROSTER OF WOOD COUNTY SOLDIERS-LOCAL MILITARY MATTERS -CONCLUSION.

OHIO may be justly proud of the soldiers sent out from this county, to give battle to the brave men marshaled under the Confederate flag, and to shatter, forever, the Machiavelian doctrine, in which they believed, and for which they fought.

The population of Wood county, in 1860, was 17,886. The county was just emerging from pioneer conditions when the tocsin of war sounded and resounded through the settlements, calling the young men to arms, and warning all, even the old, to prepare for war.

The call was promptly answered, the county sending forth more men than the State could equip, or the United States receive, under the first call of the President. A month satisfied the government that the Confederacy was a fratricide, aiming at nothing else than the conquest and subjection of the Northern States, and the total annihilation of the Abolitionists and their principles. Realizing the gravity of the situation, the call of April 15 for 75,000 men was supplemented, May 3, by one for 42,034. men to serve three years, and overshadowed by that of July 1, 1862, for 300,000 men. Under the first and third calls, Wood county sent out over 740 men, the majority of whom served three years. The draft brought others into service, while the liberal bounty offered by the county, and the liberal aid tendered to families of soldiers, urged many to enter the ranks of the regiments, and thus Wood county furnished to the Union army a full quota, equal to about one in every ten of the population of I860.

First War Meeting.-In the issue of the Perrysburg Journal of April 11, 1861, the end of the Perrysburg post office contest by the appointment of Nelson Darling, master, is noticed, but there is not a word in the local columns about civil war. In the next issue, April 18, Bailey refers briefly to the Sumter affair, placing little reliance on the reports, though, in the editorial page he prints Lincoln's proclamation calling out 75,000 militia. The next day, April 19, he was the secretary of the Perrysburg war meeting, over which J. F. Price presided. H. H. Dodge, Asher Cook, Jesse S. Norton, J. R. Tyler, E. Graham, F. R. Miller, Rev. G. A. Adams, James W. Ross, W. V. Way, and Gen. W. Houston addressed that meeting when the following resolution was adopted : That the citizens of Wood county will stand by the government of the country in any emergency, and that we pledge ourselves, our property and sacred honor to the support of the government. That we will ever be faithful to the families of those who fall in their country's service. That we pledge ourselves to maintain the families of those who shall volunteer in obedience to the call of the country's present emergency." F. Hollenbeck was the first to guarantee $8 a month to the family of any person who was prevented from volunteering for want of proper means for the support of his family ; others followed this example, and immediately the work of organizing the Fort Meigs Rifles was entered upon. On the loth the council appropriated $500 to defray the incidental expenses of organization. Joshua Chappel, whose grandfather and father fought in the Revolution, and himself in the war of 1812, said that his son would serve in this war ; Asher Cook suggested that the ladies would present a flag to the first company, and thus the tocsin of war was sounded in the county for the first time since 1835.

First Companies.-On April 27 the Perrysburg volunteers left on the steamer " Belle " for Cleveland, under the title " Fort Meigs Rifles. " Miss Ella Baird presented the flag. Seven young


WOOD COUNTY, OHIO. - 115

men from Hull Prairie also left for the camp, while 109 men, forming the "Gilead Worth Guards," under Capt. Carr, Lieut. J. J. Vorhes and 2nd Lieut. J. E. McGowan, left on the same day. On April 23, recruiting was carried on at Bowling Green, where fifty men were enrolled by the night of the 24th, and, in every section of the county, the work of enlistment and preparation was carried on.

The Webster township military company, on returning from camp, in May, 1861, where there was no room for them, organized a cavalry company, under Capt. M. Brewster, and encamped at Bowling Green to await orders. By the close of August there were forty-seven mounted men enrolled, and early in September sixty-five men were reported ready. In August, 1861, Lieut. McMahan entered upon the work of enlisting, and early in September opened camp at Findlay. At Perrysburg, a war-meeting was held, under the presidency of G. E. Guyer, with J. W. Bailey, secretary; while throughout the county young men were preparing for the service. The Bowling Green meeting was addressed by Messrs. Reed, Poe and others, and the Jackson township meeting by Dr. Philo, J. R. Apgar and James Ferguson. In Henry, Bloom, Perry and Montgomery, trade and agriculture rested, while the people discussed the war and its consequences, and expressed themselves in favor of the United States, let its policy be wrong or right.

REGIMENTAL SKETCHES.

Wood county was largely represented in nine regiments of Ohio volunteers, including the Third Cavalry and Second Heavy Artillery; fairly represented in eight Ohio commands and sparsely in six Ohio regiments. Natives or residents of the county entered the Regular Army, Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York, Iowa and even Kentucky regiments; while, at least, one native was found in one of the most gallant of the great Louisiana commands of the Confederate service.

The history of the Ohio regiments is National rather than local. It was first compiled as early as 1868, under the direction of Whitelaw Reid, from whose work these regimental sketches have in a great measure been taken. In May, 1884, the Legislature of Ohio, by joint resolution, authorized the Roster of Ohio Soldiers, 1861-66, which has been issued in eleven large volumes. The record of individual soldiers is an index to the service of the regiment. This record has been compiled, after the expenditure of much labor and money, and with the following regimental sketches make up an exhaustive history of the part taken by the men of Wood county in the War of the Rebellion.

The Twenty-first Infantry.-In this regiment there were many Wood county men, represented principally in Companies B, C, H and I. Capt. Arnold McMahan's 107 men, and Capt. Milo Caton's 102 men, were all residents of the county. The names and records of the soldiers are given in the roster which follows.

The regiment was organized at Camp Taylor, near Cleveland, on April 27, 1861, Jesse S. Norton, Col. ; J. N. Neibling, Lieut.-Col.; A. J. Taylor, Major; three-months' service. Then Jesse S. Norton, James M. Neibling, Arnold McMahan, Cols., successively; James M. Neibling, D. M. Stoughton, Arnold McMahan, W. B. Wicker, Lieut.-Col., successively; Samuel A. Strong, D. M. Stoughton, Geo. F. Walker, Arnold McMahan, Isaac Cusac, John C. Martin, Majors, successively. Of these officers, Jesse S. Norton, Arnold McMahan, and William B. Wicker were Wood county men.

Among other commissioned officers from Wood county in the 21st, during its term of service, were: Asher Cook, Omar C. Carr. Silas S. Canfield, James W. Knaggs, James L. Curry, Edward L. Baird, J. E. McGowan, J. J. Vorhes, Ara C. Spafford, John Patterson, John S. Mahony, William Pryor, Robert Buffum, Elihu H. Mason.

The regiment moved on May 23, passing through Columbus (where it received its arms) to Gallipolis, where it went into camp and remained until July 3, when it moved to Ravenswood, by order of Gen. McClellan, to reinforce the 17th Ohio, then expecting an attack from O. Jennings Wise, whose forces lay at a little town called Ripley. The Federal force, under Col. Norton of the 21st Ohio, disembarked at eleven o'clock, made a forced march to Ripley, surprised the Rebels and drove them from the place. A day or two after this, Col. Norton captured forty prominent Rebel citizens as hostages for the good treatment and safe return of some loyal Virginians captured by the notorious Jenkins.

On the 11 th of July Gen. Cox took command of the brigade consisting of the 11 th, 12th and 21st Ohio, the 1st and 2nd Kentucky, Cotter's 1st Ohio Battery of two guns, and Capt. George's cavalry, and marched to Red House, on the Kanawha river. At this place Col. Norton was ordered to make a reconnaissance for the purpose of discovering the Rebel position. Company F,


116 - WOOD COUNTY, OHIO.

Capt. Geo. F. Walker; Company H, Capt. A. M. Blackman, and Company G, Capt. Lovell, with a portion of Capt. George's cavalry, started under command of Col. Norton early on Sunday morning, July 14, moving on three different roads, all terminating at a little village on Scarey creek, where it empties into the Kanawha river. After marching some eight miles the enemy's pickets were encountered in a church, from which they fired, and fell back on their main body. Skirmishers were thrown out by Col. Norton, which developed the enemy in force on the opposite bank of the creek, occupying a strong position with a full battery.

After developing the strength of the Rebels, the Federal troops fell back two miles, and at twelve o'clock that night were re-enforced by the remaining companies of the 21st Ohio, and part of the 2d Kentucky, under Lieut. Col. Enyart; but, lacking artillery, Col. Norton thought it best to fall back and await the arrival of the main body. On the 15th the main body, under Gen. Cox, arrived, and on the morning of the 17th Col. Lowe was placed in command of a force, consisting of his own regiment; Company K, Capt. S. A. Strong, and Company D, Capt. Thomas G. Allen, of the 21st; Capt. Cotter's two rifled guns, and a portion of Capt. George's cavalry, as an attacking column, and ordered to drive the enemy from his position. The fight opened at great disadvantage to the Federals, from the fact that their old United States smooth-bore muskets did not carry far enough to reach the enemy, who were stationed in the bed of the creek, and protected by high banks. Col. Norton, seeing the disadvantage, determined to drive the enemy out of the creek with the bayonet, and, as a preliminary movement, sent a flanking force to turn the enemy's left, and divert his attention from the contemplated charge in front. The charge was successfully made by Col. Norton, with two companies of the 12th Ohio, the enemy being lifted out of the creek, and the whole Rebel force driven back. Col. Norton was painfully wounded in this affair, but remained on the field, hoping to be supported by Col. Lowe. Three messengers were dispatched to Col. Lowe, one of whom was killed, but the needed support was not given. In the meantime the enemy received re-inforcements, and, discovering that the Federal force was not properly supported, again advanced their column and, in turn, drove them, capturing Col. Norton and Lieut. Brown of the 12th Ohio, who had remained with Col. Norton and the other wounded. The. loss in this engagement was nine killed, including Capt. Allen and Lieut. Pomeroy, of Company D, and seventeen wounded.

On the evening of the battle, Col. Woodruff, and Lieut.-Col. G. W. Neff, of the 2nd Kentucky; Col. Chas. A. De Villiers, of the 11th Ohio, and two Kentucky captains rode up to the battleground by a different road from that on which the troops were retreating, and were instantly made prisoners by the Rebels.

The 21st was mustered out August 12, 1861. It was again re-organized on September 19, 1861, for the three-years' campaign, and mustered into service at Findlay, Ohio. It received marching orders a few days thereafter, was supplied with arms at Camp Dennison October 2, and marched the same day for Nicholasville, Ky. It remained there ten days, and was then ordered to march to McGormick's Gap to join Gen. Nelson, then in command at that point. The affair at Ivy Mountain, Ky., November 9, 1861, followed. In December the regiment was in Buell's army, with which it went into winter quarters on Green river. Early in 1862 it participated in the work of driving the Confederates from Bowling Green, Ky., and in the capture of Nashville, on March 13. Moving to Huntsville, the 21st furnished a quota of the twenty-four men under Andrews, known as the " Mitchell Raiders," and otherwise took a leading part in the stirring affairs around Huntsville, on April 11, 1862, and in the radical movements carried out by Gen. Mitchell, in which Co. C, under Capt. Arnold McMahan, and Co. F, under Capt. H. H. Alban, carried the war into Alabama, fighting at Bridgeport. The capture of Co. H, by Morgan, while returning from Nashville, was a most unfortunate affair, even as the formation of the nucleus of the 1st Alabama Loyal Regiment, at Athens, by Capt. McMahan, was a most conciliatory one. On September 2, 1862, the regiment arrived at Nashville, where it was attached to Negley's division, and where it remained until the siege was raised on November 7, being engaged meantime in the affairs of Lavergne (where the 3d Alabama Regiment was captured), White's Creek, Wilson's Bend, and Franklin Pike, and meriting special notice of Gen Rosecrans. The advance toward Murfreesboro was commenced December 26, 1862, on the 31st the battle was begun, the 21st Regiment crossing Stone river, charging a battery and capturing three brass guns. Capt. McMahan, who was the leader in that extraordinary charge, was reported for promotion as soon as the smoke of battle cleared away, and, shortly after, was commissioned major. The regiment was otherwise honored by being given the advance in entering


WOOD COUNTY, OHIO. - 117

Murfreesboro on January 4, 1863. From that date to June 24, 1863, this command was on duty in and round the conquered city. On the date given, it moved toward Tullahoma, and followed the enemy until September 19, when it formed part of the line of battle on Chickamauga creek. There, on September 20, Lt. Col. Stoughton was wounded, and Major Arnold McMahan took command, guiding his regiment through the thick of the fight, collecting the cartridges from the dead and wounded, and, as a last resort, charging the heavy Confederate lines with the bayonet, driving back the enemy and taking nine prisoners. .Immediately after, the Rebel officers realized the fact that McMahan's command was without ammunition, took courage from this knowledge, fell on the remnant of the valiant regiment, captured twelve officers and 120 men (of whom one officer and fifty-nine men died in prison), and left the remainder to escape in the darkness. During the battle the Colt's revolving rifles of the 21st played such havoc that the enemy turned attention toward wiping it out of existence. This is shown by the fact that toward sun-down, oil the loth, Bragg ordered a full battery to play upon it, and, under cover of the smoke, urged on charge after charge, until the dry leaves and brush of the forest were set on fire, lapping up the life of the dying and wounded, whose comrades were making such an heroic fight against great odds. The men who escaped from this valhalla at Horse-shoe Ridge, with Lt. Col. Neibling, found a way to their retreating army, and thence to Chattanooga. In November following they participated in the affair at Mission Ridge, on January 1, 1864, re-enlisted as veterans, were furloughed, and, on March 6, 1864, were once more at Chattanooga. From that point it moved to Ringgold, Ga., and thence, on May 7, with Sherman's army to the sea.

The new life of the old regiment opened at Buzzard's Roost, May 9, 1864. It was present at Resaca, May 15, and at New Hope Church on May 28. While advancing to position on the last date, the right arm of Col. Neibling was fractured, and Major McMahan, who had just arrived from Libby prison, assumed command. The fighting Major pushed forward his regiment, captured a ridge that commanded the enemy's position, and held it until the enemy withdrew. On June 7, the 21st Regiment met the Confederate forces at Kenesaw Mountain, held the front line at Bald Knob for twelve days and nights, later followed the retreating Rebels toward the Chattahoochie river, and on July 9, McMahan led the celebrated charge against the position held by the 4th Mississippi and 54th Louisiana Infantry, captured the rifle-pits, thirty-three stand of new English rifles, seventeen prisoners, and drove the enemy into their principal works. The regiment lost fifteen men killed, with two officers and thirty-seven men wounded, in this affair, but won the reward of holding the pits, and, in a manner, the principal works, until the enemy withdrew on July 10. Within a day or two the Chattahoochie was crossed, and on the 19th and loth battle was given to the Confederates at Nancy's creek and Peach Tree creek. From July 22 to the night of December 1, this regiment was under fire daily. At Jonesboro, Ga., it lost five killed and thirty wounded, and its total losses from May 7 to the capitulation of Atlanta, on September 2, 1864, two officers and thirty-two men killed, and five officers and 119 men wounded, many of whom died from their wounds. The pursuit of Hood led the command to Galesville, Ala., by October 20, but, returning to Atlanta by November 15, it remained there until next morning, when the advance toward Savannah was ordered. At Lumpkin Station, on December 4, the enemy was encountered, and from December 12 to 20 was on service before Savannah, forming the vanguard entering the city on December 21, 1864. The campaign in the Carolinas followed, Lt. -Col. McMahan guiding the regiment in a line of successes. The affairs at Rocky Mount, S. C., at Averysboro and Bentonville, N. C., brought additional laurels. During the battle of Bentonville, McMahan was assigned to command the brigade, and Capt. Samuel F. Cheney to command the regiment; but the war was virtually over. On May 26, 1865, the 21St participated in the grand review at Washington, proceeded to Louisville, Ky., where it was mustered out, and thence to Columbus, Ohio, where the men were paid and discharged July 28, 1865.

The record of the regiment is a brilliant one. The dash and spirit displayed on more than one field are remembered by the people of Ohio, and form the basis of the many stories of heroism which veterans of other regiments tell of the gallant 21st Ohio Infantry.

The Mitchell Raiders was organized in April, 1862, under J. J. Andrews, with the approval of Gen. O. M. Mitchell, to destroy the bridges on the Georgia State railroad, between Chattanooga and Atlanta. Andrews, who was then a secret service agent, suggested the organization, volunteered to lead it himself, and met his twenty-one select men at Shelbyville, Tenn., April 7, 1862.


118 - WOOD COUNTY, OHIO.

Three of the volunteers are residents of Wood county to-day. It is due to them, as well as to the other survivors and the dead, that a sketch of this daring expedition into the very heart of the enemy's country should be given, for the twenty-two Ohioans volunteered to accomplish, by secret means, what in open warfare might call for the presence of an army corps, and possibly the loss of hundreds of lives on both sides.

The names of the raiders are E. H. Mason, Co. B, John M. Scott, Co. F, Robert Buffum, Co. H, William Bensinger, Co. G, Wilson W. Brown, Co. F, Robert F. Bonham, Co. F, William Knight, Co. E, John A. Wilson, Co. C, John R. Porter, Co. G, and Mark Wood, Co. C, 21st Ohio Infantry; Marion A. Ross, Co. A, Charles Perry Shadrick, Co. K, George D. Wilson, Co. B, and William Pittinger, Co. G, 2d Ohio Infantry; M. J. Hawkins, Co. A, William Riddick, Co. B, John Wollam, Co. C, Samuel Robinson', Co. G, D. A. Dorsey, Co. H, and Jacob Parrott, Co. K, 33d Ohio Infantry; with William Campbell, a Kentuckian, Samuel Slaven and J. J. Andrews.

The adventurers arrived at Chattanooga April 11, and early on the morning of the 12th at Marietta, Ga., where they represented themselves as Kentuckians, and where they were to begin in earnest the work which Andrews had designed. On the morning of the 12th, the men, except Hawkins and Porter, boarded the north-bound train for Big Shanty, where a stop was made for breakfast. Andrews, knowing that there was no telegraph office there, determined to begin the execution of his plans. Believing that three boxcars, with the engine and tender, would be enough to handle, he uncoupled the train, and with Brown, Knight and J. A. Wilson, jumped on the engine, while the other raiders took their places in the cars. Knight played engineer, while Scott looked after the important duty of cutting the telegraph wires. At the first station the self-appointed train crew took on wood and water, and began the work of track destruction. At Marengo, where the southbound train was due, Andrews stated he was running a train of powder through to Beauregard's headquarters, and, on this explanation, received the switch key and a train-schedule from the agent. The schedule showed but one train, but the advance of Gen. Mitchell's division to Huntsville, Ala., drove the Confederates to preparations for entering Georgia. This necessitated many special, trains, so that the red flag was carried on each new train, a common and unwelcome sight to the small band engaged in the large and terrible enterprise.

Hope battled against reason in their breasts; they urged the locomotive to its greatest speed, stopped at some places to remove rails and ties and load them on the box-cars, again make up time, Wilson playing fireman and Brown engineer, halt to destroy a culvert, push forward again, and so on until the crews of passing trains and station agents began to look upon the trainmen of the so-called powder train as so many fra diavolos gone wild.

Meantime, the railroad authorities at Big Shanty awakened to the fact that a part of the train was stolen, and that the bandits had cut the telegraph lines. A hand-car crew went in pursuit, took possession of the first locomotive, and pushed on faster, repairing the track as they moved forward. Between Adairsville and Kingston, this crew gave up hope of repairing the work of the destroyers, abandoned the locomotive and walked until they met a down freight. They related the story to the engineer, urged him to sidetrack his cars and give them the locomotive. Agreeing, the pursuers jumped aboard, at Calhoun they pressed a telegraph operator and soldiers into their service, and then, with valve wide open, renewed the race after the daredevils. Soon, they came in sight of their prey, saw it stop in the distance, for the raiders halted at intervals to remove the track, and knew that the fugitives would soon be overhauled. The raiders were also on the look-out, beheld the approaching train with some alarm, but never lost an opportunity of destroying the track, until the smoke of the pursuer told them that flight was their only hope. Then began that terrible railroad race, through Resaca, Tilton, Dalton and Ringgold. Beyond Dalton, Andrews ordered a halt, to cut the wires, but he was two minutes late, for a message had just passed on to Chattanooga. Fuel and oil were exhausted about the moment Ringgold was passed, and then Andrews ordered a halt, reversed the engine, so as to wreck the pursuing train, and with his volunteers fled into the forest, each man seeking safety for himself. The troops at Ringgold were put on the qui vive, infantry and cavalry scoured the country for the fugitives, and, within a week, all the daring men, save Wood and Wilson, were in the hands of implacable enemies, even Hawkins and Porter, who failed to board the train at Marietta, being among the prisoners. Within three weeks Wood and Wilson were made prisoners.

To speak of the treatment of these gallant men, by the Confederates, is a matter of history. Confederate officers condoned acts of barbarism worthy only of the lowest mob of fanatics ever

gathered in America, ignored the claims of the men as regular soldiers, detached for a service of which they knew nothing, flogged the youngest soldier almost to death with the hope of wringing from him information, and then after the leader, Andrews, stepped forward and acknowledged himself as leader, took the gallant fellow and six of his men to the gibbet, at Atlanta, where they were executed. The others, awaiting death in the Atlanta prison, seized their jailor, when he brought in their suppers, took the prison keys, overpowered seven armed guards, and made a way toward liberty. Six of them were re-captured and confined in Libby and Castle Thunder, until March, 1863, when they were exchanged at City Point. The men executed were John M. Scott, June 18, 1862; Marion A. Ross, June 16, '62; Charles Perry Shadrick, June 18, '62; Geo. C. Wilson, June 18, '62; Samuel Robertson, June 18, '62, Samuel Slavens, William Campbell and J. J. Andrews, June 16, '62. The resolution of Congress, adopted in July, 1862, provided that medals be struck for the survivors of the expedition, which medals were duly presented, Elisha H. Mason, of Pemberville, receiving the second, and young Parrott, of Hardin county, the first.

The One Hundredth Infantry-(three years). -Wood county was represented in several different companies, Company A being almost, if not exclusively, a Wood county command. Col. Patrick Slevin and Maj. John A. Shannon were from the county, as were also some six or eight other commissioned officers of the regiment, some of whom were promoted to high positions in other regiments. The regiment was organized at Toledo during the months of July and August, 1862, and was mustered into the service September 1 following. Its principal officers, successively, were: John C. Groom, Patrick Slevin, Edwin L. Hayes, Cols.; Patrick Slevin, Edwin L. Hayes, Franklin Rundell, Lieut. -Cols. ; Edwin L. Hayes, John A. Shannon, Henry D. Taylor, Franklin Rundell, Majors. On the 8th of September the regiment moved to Cincinnati, for the defense of that city, On the 9th it went into position on Covington Heights, a few rods in front and to the left of Fort Mitchell.

The regiment marched for Lexington, Ky., on the 8th of October, and remained there, undergoing a thorough course of instruction, until about the 1st of December, when it moved to Richmond. It was engaged in work on the fortifications until the 26th of December, when it moved to Danville, and on the 3d of January, 1863, it moved to Frankfort. Toward the last of February it marched to Lexington to intercept a Rebel raid, and from that point marched to Crab Orchard, Mount Vernon, Somerset, and to various other points where the presence of the enemy rendered it necessary. On the 13th of August, the regiment went into camp at Danville, preparatory for the march of East Tennessee. Upon arriving at Knoxville a portion of the regiment was sent up to the Virginia State line to guard the railroad. The detachment, 240 strong, was captured by the enemy on the 4th of September, and was sent to Richmond, Va., a large per cent. of them dying in prison. The regiment participated in the defense of Knoxville, and was on active duty during its stay in East Tennessee. Early in the spring of 1864 it marched in the Twenty-third Army Corps to join Gen. Sherman, then at Tunnell Hill, Ga. It moved on the Atlanta campaign, and was present at almost every battle from Rocky Face Ridge to Atlanta. On the 6th of August it was engaged in an assault on the Rebel works in front of Atlanta, with a loss of 103 men out of 300. Thirty-six men were killed on the field, and eight more died of wounds within the next thirty days. The Colonel was disabled for life. This was the heaviest day's work experienced by the regiment. After the evacuation of Atlanta it joined in pursuit of Hood, and participated in the battles of Franklin and Nashville. At Franklin the 100th fought at great disadvantage, having been broken into fragments by the placing of artillery in the battle line at the last moment. Notwithstanding this, some portions of the line of the 100th were held with the most desperate tenacity. Nothing in war could excel the deadly fighting on this line, a part of which was held by the 100th. The color-bearer, Byron C. Baldwin, of Weston, Ohio, was shot, but in his death agonies rolled his body in the flag so that it might be saved from the enemy. This was only one of the pathetic, gallant incidents in the history of the 100th. The regiment moved with the Twenty-third Corps to Wilmington, N. C., and was there actively engaged. It marched into the interior, and moved from Goldsboro to Raleigh with Sherman's army. It next moved to Greensboro, and from there to Cleveland, Ohio, where it was mustered out of the service on the 1st of July, 1865, having served two years and ten months from muster-in to muster-out.

The tooth lost, during its term of service, 65 men killed in action, 142 wounded, 27 died of wounds, 108 died of disease, 325 captured by the enemy, and 85 died in Rebel prisons. It

participated in the battles of Lenoir Station, Knoxville, Rocky Face Ridge, Resaca, Dallas, Etowah Creek, Atlanta, Columbia, Franklin, Nashville, Town Creek, and Wilmington.

The One Hundred and Eleventh Infantry (three years) was organized at Toledo in August, 1862, and mustered in September 5 and 6 of that year. It was an out-and-out northwestern Ohio command, 'made up of men from Wood, Lucas, Sandusky, Fulton, Williams and Defiance counties.

There were upward of 300 men from Wood county in the regiment, represented mainly in Companies B, D, I, K and A. Lt.-Cols. B. W. Johnson and Thomas C. Norris, of the regiment, were Wood county men, as were also Capts. O. P. Norris, J. E. McGowan (became major 1st U. S. Colored Heavy Artillery), John Yeager, Deming W. H. Day (who later rose to the rank of general), Wesley S. Thurstin (became adjutant of regiment) and William H. Beal. Among other commissioned officers of the regiment from Wood county were: Lieuts. John Bader, George H. Van Blarcum, Rudolph Williams, Daniel W. Poe, Alexander Rowland, Moses Dubbs, John H. Campbell, J. D. Bolles, John M. Woodruff, J. A. Chilcote, Thomas Walter, Lewis Dienst and Myron G. Brown (Constantine Beal became a lieutenant in the 1st U. S. H. Art.). Company B was recruited largely from Milton, Weston, Perry and Middleton townships; Company D, largely from Weston and Washington townships; Company I enlisted in Perrysburg, Plain, Center, Bloom and Perry townships; Company K, mostly from Plain and Center townships.

The leading officers of the 111th, successively, were: John R. Bond, Isaac R. Sherwood, Colonels; B. W. Johnson, Moses R. Bailey, Isaac R. Sherwood, Thomas C. Norris, Lieutenant-Colonels; Moses R. Bailey, Isaac R. Sherwood, Thomas C. Norris, Benjamin F. Southworth, Henry J. McCord, Majors. Five days after muster the command is found at Covington, Ky., and, September 18, at Crittenden, driving out Kirby Smith's cavalry. At or near Frankfort, on October 8, it had another brush with the Confederates, so that, on May 29, 1863, when it was ordered to Glasgow, Ky., to become a part of the Second Brigade, Second Division, Twenty-third Army Corps, its members possessed experience in warfare. Beyond the pursuit of Morgan's cavalry, the capture of a detachment of his daredevils, and participation in the affairs at Scottsville and Tomkinsville, the regiment was engaged only in strategic movements until about the middle of November, 1863, when its long term of brilliant service may be said to have commenced.

After the capture of Morgan the regiment rendezvoused at New Market, Ky., preparatory to the march to East Tennessee. On September 2, it forded the Big Emery river, and arrived at Loudon, Tenn., on the 4th. The regiment remained in Loudon until November 14, and took part in the movement north of New Market to check the Rebel advance from Virginia; it also took part in several forced marches, scouts and skirmishes along the Tennessee and Holston rivers.

The advance of Gen. Longstreet's army appeared in front of Loudon on the 22nd, and considerable skirmishing was kept up between the two armies. On the 14th of November, the command marched to Lenoir; but meeting reinforcements here, a countermarch was ordered, and the Second Brigade was ordered to march to Huff's Ferry, three miles below Loudon, and prevent the crossing of Gen. Longstreet's troops. Owing to the almost impassible condition of the roads, it was nearly dark before arriving at the ferry. On a high bluff, about half a mile from the river, a brigade of Rebels was encountered. The Second Brigade was immediately formed in single line, and ordered to charge. The charge was successful. In it the 111th lost only a few wounded, as it was on the right flank of the brigade, and partially under cover of dense woods. The brigade stood to arms all night in the pelting rain, without food or shelter. At daylight, the entire division fell back, and the 11 th covered the retreat. At Loudon creek a brisk skirmish took place between the regiment and the 6th South Carolina Sharp Shooters, composing Gen. Longstreet's advance. The stand was made to enable Honcho's Illinois Battery to get its caissons up a hill above the creek. In this engagement the 111th lost four killed and twelve wounded. On this night all camp and garrison equipage and transportation were destroyed, and on the morning of the 16th, at three oclock, it moved out for Knoxville, Tennessee.

At daylight on that morning, Lieut. O. P. Norris and fifty-two men, of Company B, of the regiment, were captured by the Rebels while on picket. Of these fifty-two stalwart men, thirty-six died of starvation and exposure in Andersonville prison. Campbell's Station was selected by Gen. Burnside as the point to which to give battle to Gen. Longstreet. In this engagement the 111th occupied the first line, directly in front of two batteries of Rebel artillery, and was for

six hours exposed to the shells of the enemy's concentrated fire. The loss in killed and wounded was very light, as the enemy used percussion ,shells, which mostly fell in the rear of the first line. The regiment marched with the command into Knoxville, a distance of six miles, having been three nights without sleep, food or rest, and having participated in three separate engagements. It passed through the siege of Knoxville, occupying the fort on College Hill, and lost six men killed and wounded. After Gen. Longstreet's retreat, it took part in the skirmishes at Blain's Cross Roads, Danville, and Strawberry Plains, and occupied an outpost six miles in front ,of the city when Gen. Schofield fell back the second time on Knoxville. It protected the crossing of the Second Division at Strawberry Plains, on the 21st of January, 1864, losing one man killed. On February 9, Gen. Schofield arrived at Knoxville, and took command of the department. On the 24th of February, the Second Division marched to Strawberry Plains ; on the 27th crossed the Holston river, and, marching some distance, counter-marched at night as far back as Mossy creek. On the 14th of March, the regiment moved to Morristown, East Tennessee. On the following day it was on the picket 'line, and had a brisk skirmish with the Rebel cavalry. The 111th was moved back to Mossy creek, and there remained until April 26, when .it was marched to Charleston, a distance of one hundred miles. This it accomplished in four days, arriving at Charleston on the 30th. From this point it marched to Red City, Ga., arriving May 6. At this point the Army of the Ohio united with the left wing of Gen. Sherman's army to participate in the Atlanta campaign. It marched to Tunnel Hill, May 7, and on the following day skirmished into a position in front of Buzzard's Roost. On the 9th, in the advance on Rocky Face Mountain, the regiment was assigned the front line of the skirmishers, and during an .advance of three-quarters of a mile lost nine men killed and wounded.



On the evening of the 15th, the regiment arrived in front of Resaca. The brigade made a charge on the enemy's works the next day ; the 111th had but seven companies engaged, three companies being in the rear, guarding transportation. Out of the number engaged, seven men were killed and thirty wounded. The regiment took part in the second day's fight at Resaca. After an unsuccessful assault at midnight upon the Federal lines, the Rebels retreated. On May 16 the regiment participated in the pursuit f had a skirmish with the Rebel cavalry, on the l0th, and captured six prisoners. On the 27th a brigade of Rebels made an advance on the Federal lines, the 111 th was ordered on double-quick, made a charge, and broke the Rebel lines. In this engagement the regiment lost fifteen men, killed and wounded.

It took part in the entire siege against Atlanta; was actively engaged in the siege of Kenesaw, the battles of Pine Mountain, Lost Mountain, Dallas, on the Chattahoochie river, near Nicojack Creek, Decatur, Peachtree Creek, and in the siege of Atlanta and the skirmishes at Rough-and-Ready, Lovejoy's Station and Utoy Creek. It started on the Atlanta campaign with 380 men, and of this number lost in killed and wounded 212. It moved from camp at Decatur, Ga., October 4, against Gen. Hood's forces. During its camp at Decatur, it had made a reconnaissance to Stone Mountain, where it encountered Rebel cavalry, and lost a few of its men. Its line of march was to Allatoona Pass, thence into Alabama, going south as far as Cedar Bluffs, where in a skirmish with Rebel cavalry one officer and three men of the regiment were captured on picket. It next marched to Rome, Ga., where a brisk skirmish took place ; thence moved to Resaca, arriving November 1, 1864.

At Resaca the regiment took the cars and moved to Johnsonville, where it remained until November 20, when it was again moved by rail to Columbia, Tenn., to assist in checking Gen. Hood's advance. It participated in the skirmishes at Columbia, and was detailed to remain in the rear to guard the fords of Duck river while Gen. Thomas' army fell back on Franklin. The regiment guarded a wagon train to Franklin, and was twice attacked, but each time it repulsed the enemy. The regiment at night marched by the outposts of Gen. Hood's army in bringing up the rear. It arrived at Franklin on the morning of November 30, and was immediately assigned to the front line of works, on the left flank of the Second Division, 23d Army Corps, to the right of Franklin turnpike. In the fight on that day the regiment, out of 180 men engaged, lost 22 men killed on the field and 40 wounded. Many were killed by Rebel bayonets. The contest was so close that once the flag of the regiment was snatched from the hands of the color-sergeant, but the bold Rebel was killed instantly. The troops on the immediate left of the 111th fell back during the charge, and the Rebels, holding this part of the line for an hour, poured an enfilading fire along the line of the whole brigade. Owing to the large loss of officers in this and


122 - WOOD COUNTY, OHIO.

previous engagements, a detail from other regiments was necessary to command the companies.

On December 1, the 111th marched back to Nashville, where it was assigned a position in the line of defenses on the left. It was severely engaged during both days of fighting in front of Nashville. In a charge on the second day it captured three Rebel battle-flags, and a large number of prisoners. The loss was seven killed and fifteen wounded. The regiment took part in the pursuit after Gen. Hood. It was marched to Clifton, Tenn., where, January 17, 1865, it took transports to make the campaign of North Carolina. It took an active part in the capture of Fort Anderson, and in the skirmishes at Mosby Hall and Goldsboro. After the surrender of Gen. Johnston, the regiment was removed to Salisbury, N. C., where it remained until ordered home for muster-out. The 111 the re-enlisted as veterans, in February, 1864, in East Tennessee. Again, in October, 1864, after the Atlanta campaign, more than two-thirds of the regiment reenlisted as veterans. The strength of the regiment at muster, in September, 1862, was 1,050 men. During its long term eighty-five recruits were assigned, making in all 1,135. Of this total, 252 were killed, or died of wounds, 200 died of disease, 234 were discharged for disability, and 401 were mustered out, a few men being unaccounted for.

The Sixty-seventh Infantry (three years) originated in the consolidation of the nucleus of the 45th and that of the 67th. It was mustered in between October 2 and December 17, 1861, and on September 1, 1865, received the remnant out of the 62nd Infantry, so that at muster-out, December 7, 1865, it represented three regiments. The officers of the regiment, successively, were: Otto Burstenbinder, Alvin C. Voris, Cols; Alvin C. Voris, John R. Bond, Henry S. Commager, Lewis C. Hunt, Henry West, Lt.-Cols; John R. Bond, Henry S. Commager, Edwin S. Platt, Lewis Butler, Thos. J. Platt, Majors. Many of the flower of Wood county's young men served in the 67th, represented mainly in Companies H, B, and K. Among the commissioned officers from the county were Capt. John B. Spafford, and Lieuts. John J. Parsons, Geo. N. Parsons, Henry J. Carter, Peter Bell, J. H. Whitehead and C. D. Lindsay.

Entering West Virginia, in January, 1862, the men received their first lessons in war, so that in March following, under the dashing Gen. Shields, they were able to render good service at Winchester, against Ashby's Rebel cavalry. On March 22nd the regiment reported to Gen. Banks, in Winchester, and soon engaged the enemy, driving them till past night fall, as far south as Kernstown. The regiment lay on their arms all night, and on the next morning were the first to engage the enemy. After the infantry fighting had been fairly opened, the 67th was ordered to re-enforce Gen. Tyler's brigade; to do which it was necessary to pass over an open field for three-fourths of a mile, exposed to, the enemy's fire. The regiment executed the movement on the double-quick, and came into action in splendid order. It lost in this action fifteen killed and thirty-two wounded. Until the last of the next June, the 67th endured the hardships of marches up and down the valley, over the mountains and back again, from the Potomac to Harrisonburg, from Front Royal to Fredericksburg, from Fredericksburg to Manassas, from Manassas to Port Republic, and from Port Republic to Alexandria.

On June 29, the regiment embarked on the steamer "Herald " and barge "Delaware," and started for the James to re-enforce Gen. McClellan. In the night of the 30th, when near the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, in a very heavy gale, the hawser, by which the barge was towed, parted, leaving the barge to toss about in the trough of the sea. Men, horses, arms, and camp and garrison equipage, were carried overboard and lost. At Harrison's Landing the regiment campaigned with the Army of the Potomac till the evacuation of the Peninsula, when it went to Suffolk, Va., with only 300 men for duty out of 85o which composed the regiment at the organization. The regiment enjoyed here its first opportunity for rest and drill; and, in the last of December, was transferred to North Carolina, and then to Hilton Head, where it arrived February 1, 1863. The regiment shared in the Charleston expedition, landing on Cole's Island, April 2. For seven months the regiment heroically endured all the hardships, privations and dangers of the siege, taking part in the attack on Fort Wagner, and sustaining heavy loss. The regiment re-enlisted, and returned to Ohio in February, 1864. At the expiration of their furloughs the soldiers of the 67th returned to the field, reaching Bermuda Hundred, Va., under Gen. Butler, May 6, 1864. On May 9th, the 67th was detached to guard the right flank of the loth Corps, that had gone to the railroad at Chester Station to destroy it from there to Petersburg. A section of artillery was sent with the regiment, and they were placed on the turn-

pike from Richmond to Petersburg, about eleven miles from the former place, with orders to hold the position at all hazards. During the night re-enforcements arrived, and next morning theRebels made a general attack upon them. The 67th maintained its position from first to last, presenting an unbroken front to four successive charges. A section of the Federal artillery, for a short time, fell into the hands of the enemy, but was recaptured by a portion of Company F. May 10, 1864, will always be remembered as a sad but glorious day, by the 67th. Seventy-six officers and men were killed and wounded in that battle.

On May 20, a portion of the Union lines having fallen into the hands of the Rebels, the 67th, with other regiments, was designated to recapture it, which was done by a charge, in which the 67th lost sixty-nine officers and men killed and wounded. The Rebel Gen. W. H. S. Walker was wounded and captured, his sword passing into the hands of Col. Voris as a trophy. On August 16, four companies of the 67th charged the rifle pits of the enemy at Deep River, and at the first volley lost a third of their men; but before the Rebels could reload the rifle-pits were in the possession of the Federal troops. On October 7, 13, 27, and 28, the regiment engaged the enemy, with a loss of over one hundred men. During the spring, summer and fall of 1864, the 67th confronted the enemy, at all times within range of their guns; and it is said by officers competent to judge, that during the year it was under fire two hundred times. No movement was without danger; firing was kept up for days, and men wore their accouterments for weeks at a time. Out of over 600 muskets taken to the front in the spring, three-fifths were laid aside during the year on account of casualties.

In the spring of 1865, the 67th participated in the assault on the Rebel works below Petersburg; on the 2d of April it was foremost in the charge on Fort Gregg, and at Appomattox C. H. was in at the death, bearing her battle-flag proudly in the last fight the Union forces made against the army of Northern Virginia.

The One Hundred and Forty fourth Infantry

(one hundred days' service) was organized at Camp Chase, Ohio, May 11, 1864, out of the 64th Battalion O. N. G., of Wood county, and the 19th Battalion 0. N. G., of Wyandot county, with Samuel H Hunt, Col. ; Frederick R. Miller, Lieut. Col. ; and Marquis D. L. Buell, Major.

Miller and Buell were. both Wood county men, and also Quartermaster John H. Reid. Company C was mainly a Wood county organization,. composed of men principally from Bowling Green and vicinity ( Plain and Center townships). Its officers were Capt. Jeremiah Kitchen, 1st Lieut. Samuel J. Lamb, and 2nd Lieut. Thos. J. Avery. Company F was composed of men mainly from Perrysburg, with some from Middleton and Webster townships. Its officers were Asher Cook; Capt.; Andrew Bloomfield, 1 st. Lieut. ; and Frank S. Tyler, 2nd Lieut. Company B was mainly from Washington, Plain, and what is now Weston townships. It was commanded by Capt. Luther Black. Company E, commanded by Capt. Philip Smith, assisted by 1st Lieut. Abraham Keefer and 2nd Lieut. John D. Muir, was made up of men principally from Freedom, Webster, Bloom and Perry townships. Company I was made up of men, in main from what is now Grand Rapids and Weston townships, and was officered by John McKee, Capt.; Geo. Weddell, 1st Lieut.; and Geo. Kimberlin, 2nd Lieut. Company K-of which Philo W. Hathaway was captain; Benj. Bacon, 1st Lieut; and Dr. Edwin R. Sage, 2nd Lieut.-was made up of men chiefly from Montgomery township.

Ordered to report to Gen. Wallace, at Baltimore, Md., the command was moved rapidly, and, arriving at rendezvous, Companies G and K were detached for duty on the fortifications, and the other companies quartered at Fort McHenry. Thence Company E was sent forward to Wilmington, Del. ; Company B to Camp Parole, near Annapolis, where, a few days later it was joined by Companies G, and I. This battalion remained at camp under the command of Capt. L. Black until July 7, when it was ordered to join Gen. Wallace at Monocacy Junction. On July 9, Companies B, G and I were present at Monocacy junction, when Gen. Early's advance was checked, losing in the engagement about fifty men in killed, wounded and prisoners. Wallace was defeated there, and, in every particular, the affair was very discouraging to the gallant Ohioans, whose esprit de corps deserved better fortune. The regiment moved to Washington, on July 13, thence to Leesburg, en route to Winchester, Va. At Snicker's Gap, orders were received to return to Washington, but it was immediately dispatched to Shenandoah. On the day that Hancock and Birney were repulsed at Deep Bottom, Va., a detachment of this regiment was attacked near Berryville, Va., by Mosby's guerrillas. The two field pieces, worked by Mosby's skilled artillerists, created consternation in the


124 - WOOD COUNTY, OHIO.

ranks of the new regiment,: but the men rallied, returned the fire and drove the guerrillas to flight. In this affair, the 144th lost five killed, six wounded and sixty prisoners. The musterout took place August 24 and 31, 1864, when it was reported that the regiment lost 125 killed, wounded and prisoners, during its short term of service, and that many of the captured men had died in Andersonville and other prisons.

The Forty-ninth Infantry (three years) was organized at camp Noble, Tiffin, from August 15, to September 22, 1861. Its leading officers, successively, were: William H. Gibson, Joseph R. Bartlett, Colonels; A. M. Blackman, Levi Drake, Benj. S. Porter, Samuel F. Gray, Luther M. Strong, Joseph R. Bartlett, Milton F. Miles, Lieut.-Colonels; Levi Drake, Benj. S. Porter, Samuel F. Gray, Luther M. Strong, Joseph R. .Bartlett, Milton F. Miles, J. Kessler, Geo. W. Pool, Majors.

Wood county was largely represented in Company H, and had men in Companies A, C, K .and F, and likely some few in others. In the command were a number of commissioned officers from Wood, among+' them: Lieut.-Col. Miles, Capt. Francis R. Stewart, and Lieuts. John J. Fry, Silas W. Simons and Geo. W. Vail. The regiment was mustered August 20, 1861. Company C, mustered September 1 ; E, August 22 ; F, August 26 ; G, September 3 ; H, August 30; I, August 26, and K, September 9. All carne in after the regiment was received into the U. S. service. By September 21, 1861 (the command being then eleven days in Camp Dennison), it moved to Louisville, Ky., being the first organized volunteer regiment to enter that border State. On September 23 it was at Muldraugh's Hill, where it remained until October 10, when it entered Camp Nevin. As a part of the Sixth Brigade, Second Division, Army of Ohio, it moved to Munfordville December 10, and, near that point, on Green river, December 17, met Hindman's Arkansans and Terry's Texas Rangers, whom they repulsed with the aid of the 39th Indiana Infantry. On February 14, 1862, it moved to Bowling Green, and thence to Nashville; but on March 16 marched for Pittsburg Landing, or Shiloh, where it arrived in time for the battle of April 7, "going in" at 11 o'clock A. M. under Lt.-Col. A. M. Blackman, and maintaining a position on the left until 4 o'clock P. M., when the enemy retreated. During the five hours it changed front twice, each time under a heavy fire. From April 30 to May 29 it was a participant in the siege of Corinth. Twelve hours after the gallant men under Beauregard evacuated the town the 49th Ohio marched in, and thence proceeded in pursuit of the flying Confederates, through Iuka to Florence (Ala.), whence it marched to Battle Creek (Tenn.). Following came the terrible thirsty march after Bragg, ending at Louisville September 29. Next was the march to Frankfort, where the command arrived October 5, dispersed the Confederate forces there, and prevented the inauguration of Capt. Dick Hawes as Confederate governor.



On the 8th it was present at Perryville or Chaplin Hills, to aid McCook in the repulse of Bragg, and next day at Lawrenceburg and Dog Walk made a good fighting reputation, under Lt. Col. Levi Drake. In November it was among the regiments advanced against Forrest and Morgan, in the Nashville affair, and on December 30, found itself in line, at Murfreesboro, or Stone River. During that well-fought battle, on the 31st and succeeding days, the 49th did extraordinary service, but lost heavily in officers and men. On June 24, 1863, the regiment was in the advance on Liberty Gap, where it assaulted the enemy's works, driving him back a mile to an equally strong position, which was ' captured on the 25th, leaving the route clear to Tullahoma, where the regiment camped on July 1. In August, the command marched toward Chattanooga (crossing the river near Bellefonte on the 31st), and thence to Chickamauga, where, on the morning of September 19 it held a position on the extreme right of the army. Before drawn into battle, the position was changed to the extreme left, where at two o'clock in the afternoon it engaged the enemy, capturing two guns. During the evening, and away into the night, the command was closely engaged, giving and receiving blow for blow. On the 20th it was a factor in saving the Federal center, and was the last to retire from the bloody field that night. At Rossville temporary works were constructed, but on the night of the 21st the command fell back on Chattanooga, where it rested until the 24th, when the movement on Mission Ridge called it again to the front. Next day it planted its colors on Mission Ridge, and won new laurels on November 25. 1863. Its advance to the aid of Burnside at Knoxville, which followed, proved a greater test of endurance than any battle. Without food, clothing or shoes, with snow below and an air extremely cold, the soldiers pushed forward leaving bloody foot-marks to show their route and their condition. At Strawberry Plains they learned of Federal successes,

and returned to Chattanooga. When the term of enlistment expired, the majority of the survivors re-enlisted and returned to Ohio on a thirty-days' furlough. At the close of this short vacation, the men reported at Cleveland, Tenn., then headquarters of the Fourth Army Corps, and went into the Atlanta campaign with the grit of young patriots, taking part in the affairs at Rocky Face Ridge, May 5 to 9, 1864; Resaca, May 13 to 16; Cassville, May 19 to 22; Pickett's Mills, May 27; Kenesaw Mountain, June 9 to 30; siege of Atlanta, July 28 to September 2, and Lovejoy Station, September 2 to 6, 1864, taking in the Georgia campaign almost in all its details. On November 30, it participated in the battle at Franklin, Tenn., having previously (from November 24 to 28) been present at Columbia, Tenn. From December 15 to 16, it was engaged at Nashville, and subsequently in the pursuit of Hood's army to Huntsville, Ala., where it was in camp until March, 1865. On June 15, 1865, it moved to Texas via New Orleans, where it was engaged in guard duty until mustered out there, November 30, 1865. The number of names enrolled down to that date was 1,552, of whom 127 men and eight officers were killed in battle, seventy-one men and six officers mortally wounded, 165 men died of disease, seven died in Rebel prisons, while 616 were discharged for wounds or disability. Other losses were also entailed, so that at muster-out, the gallant 49th was only a fraction of its original self.

The Fourteenth Infantry was raised in the Tenth Congressional District of Ohio, in and around Toledo. In less than three days after the President's proclamation for 75,000 men, the 14th Ohio was ready for the field, and on April 25, 1861, it started from Toledo to Camp Taylor, near Cleveland, where it was thoroughly drilled and its organization completed. On May 18, the regiment was transferred from the State to the General Government, its leading officers being James B. Steedman, Col. ; Geo. P. Este, Lt. Col., and Paul Edwards, Major. Wood county was represented in the 14th, its men serving mainly in Company A, to the captaincy of which Joseph B. Newton, who was from the county, rose step by step. He was transferred to the field and staff, becoming adjutant.



The regiment left Cleveland, May 22, for Columbus, thence to Zanesville, thence to Marietta, remaining at Camp Putnam until May 27, when it left for Parkersburg, Va., at which place, for the first time, the regimental flag was unfurled in the enemy's country. Immediately after its arrival one company was "double-quicked" along the line of the B. & O. R. R., the bridges of which were being destroyed by retreating Rebels. The railroad was diligently guarded to prevent further destruction. On the 29th the regiment moved forward until it reached Clarksburg. On June, 2, it left Clarksburg by rail for Webster, and thence marched to Philippi, a distance of thirteen, miles, and surprised a force of 2,000 Rebel cavalry at 5 A. M. The enemy were routed; they scattered to the hills, leaving stores, arms and munitions behind them.

The regiment was engaged before the enemy at Philippi June 3, Laurel Hill July 8, and Carrick's Ford July 14, with a loss of eight brave men killed and many wounded. It remained in, camp on Laurel Hill until July 22, when, its term, of enlistment (three months) having expired, it returned home. The regiment was dispersed, and after a few days rest at home the men reassembled, and again volunteered in a body for three years or during the war. On August 23, 1861, the 14th received orders and moved from Toledo to Cincinnati, and on the morning of the. 25th crossed the Ohio to Covington, Ky., where, it took the cars for Lexington and Frankfort, Remaining at Frankfort two days, it moved by. cars to Nicholasville, thence to Camp Dick Robinson, arriving on the evening of October 2., Thence the regiment, with Barnett's 1st Ohio L.. Artillery, started at once for Wild Cat, Ky., there being rumors that the Federal forces were there. surrounded by the Rebels. They reached there, on the morning of the 21st. Barnett's Artillery. was placed in position, and the enemy shelled. Five companies of the 33d Indiana were on a wild knob almost completely surrounded by the. Rebels. Under cover of a brisk fire from Barnett's battery, two companies of the 14th with picks and shovels, crawled through the bushes over a ravine, and reaching the knob fortified it in such manner that the enemy shortly abandoned the siege, and retreated toward London, Ky.,, leaving on the ground about thirty of their number killed and wounded.

At Logan's Cross Roads the Rebels, under Zollicoffer, were met on December 31st of that year and defeated. Only one company (C, Capt. J. W. Brown, of Toledo) of the 14th participated. Following up their success, the Federal troops pursued and drove the Rebels from their fortifications. at Mill Springs. The night of the 19th of January was consumed. in cannonading the. enemy's; works. Early on the morning of the. path a..


126 - WOOD COUNTY, OHIO.

general assault was ordered and executed, the Rebel works carried, twenty pieces of artillery, all the camp equipage, and one regiment captured.

The Federal forces remained at Mill Springs until the 11 th of February. Then, with five days' rations, the line of march was resumed toward Louisville, arriving on the 26th. The 14th was placed on board of transports, and in company with 20,000 other troops left for Nashville. Remaining in and around that city, building fortifications and perfecting the drill of the men, until the 10th of March, the necessity of re-enforcing Gen. Grant's forces at Pittsburg Landing being apparent, Gen. Buell marched with the greater part of his army, reaching Savannah on the 6th of April. Taking steamers, a portion of the troops were landed on the field, at Pittsburg Landing, on the morning of the 7th of April, in time to participate in the engagement of that day, turning the tide of battle in favor of the Union army. The 14th did not come up in time to participate.



In the summer of 1862, while the troops were on a march from Tuscumbia, Ala., to Nashville, Gen. Robert L. McCook was murdered by guerrillas near Waynesburg, Tenn., and Col. Steedman, of the 14th, succeeded him. Lt.-Col. Este was made colonel July 17, and Major Edwards was promoted to lieutenant-colonel on the same day. Capt. Henry D. Kingsbury, of Company A, was promoted to major, and December 27, 1862, to lieutenant-colonel of the regiment. Capt. Albert Moore, of Company A, was made lieutenant-colonel in 1864, and Capt. John W. Wilson, of Company E, was made major in 1863.

On September 19, 1863, at Chickamauga Creek, the 14th, under command of Lt.-Col. Kingsbury, was engaged in hot and close contest with the enemy from 9 A. M. to 4 P. M. Being then relieved, it replenished its ammunition boxes, and again entered the fight, continuing in it until sundown. That night it fell back one mile and went into camp. The next morning at nine o'clock the regiment again entered the field, and had a desperate encounter with a portion of Longstreet's Rebel division. On September 21 the regiment, with its brigade and division, was in line of battle all day. The regiment went into the battle with 449 men, out of which number it lost 233, killed, wounded and missing. Fourteen enlisted men were captured by the enemy. Of fourteen officers, eight were severely wounded. In the brilliant assault on Mission Ridge the 14th bore a gallant part, charging and capturing a Rebel battery of three guns, which Gen. Hardee in person was superintending, losing sixteen killed, ninety-one wounded and three missing. The regiment was, reviewed at Chattanooga by Gen. Grant, December 1, 1863. On December 17, of those that were eligible, all but thirty men of the entire regiment re-enlisted for another term of three years.

The regiment performed hard duty at Ringgold, in March, 1864. On May 9 it moved with its brigade on Dalton, driving in the enemy's videttes to the vicinity of Tunnel Hill, there encountering the enemy in force. At this point commenced that long, fatiguing campaign for the possession of Atlanta, the "Gate City" of the extreme south. The 14th, in all the marches and the almost incessant skirmishes and flanking movements of that campaign, bore an honorable part. It lost heavily in men and officers. While lying in front of Atlanta the regiment lost twenty men killed and wounded.

At Jonesboro, September 1, 1864, the Third brigade, in command of Col. Este, of the 14th Ohio, was drawn up in line of battle in the immediate rear of a regular brigade, of Gen. Carlin's division, which had just made an unsuccessful charge on the Rebel works in the edge of the woods on the opposite side of a large cornfield. Col. Este, with his brigade, consisting of the 14th and 38th Ohio, 10th Kentucky, and 74th Indiana, stood ready for the fight. Col. Este gave the order: "Battalion, forward! Guide center! " and Gen. Baird waived his hand for the " forward "-the lines moved steadily forward amid a shower of balls. A battery opened with grape and canister, but the brigade moved steadily on. The edge of the timber was gained, and with a yell and a charge the Rebel works were gained, and a hand-to-hand conflict ensued. The Rebels belonged to Gen. Pat. Cleburne's division, and contested the ground with great stubbornness and bravery. It was not until many of them were killed with the cold steel that they (the Rebels) would surrender. The 14th took nearly as many prisoners as the regiment numbered, a battery of four guns and several stands of colors. All of this was not accomplished without sad cost. The brigade lost thirty-three per cent of its numher. One hundred members of the 14th, whose time had expired, went willingly into the fight, some of whom were killed and many wounded. The 14th joined Sherman's forces at Atlanta, and participated in the "March to the Sea;" then came the march through the Carolinas to Goldsboro and Raleigh. It participated in the Grand Review at Washington.

The Fifty-seventh Infantry (three years) was organized at Findlay, Ohio, in September, 1861, and mustered in between September 2, that year, and February 5, 1862. Company K, the last mustered, completed organization at Findlay, February, 1862.

Its officers successively were: William Mungen, Americus V. Rice, Samuel R. Mott, Cols. ; William Mungen, Americus V. Rice, Samuel R. Mott and George D. McClure, Lieut.-Cols.; Silas B. Walker, John McClure and Squire Johnson, Majors. Company B was recruited from Hancock, Seneca, and Wood counties, Lieut. Wm. S. Bonnell, of "B," was a Wood county man.

On February 10 the new regiment had 956 men and thirty-eight commissioned officers, who set out for Paducah, Ky., eight days after. On March 8 the command left Paducah for Fort Henry, on the Tennessee, whence it proceeded to Savannah, Tenn., and to the mouth of Yellow creek, with the object of seizing the railroad at Iuka, Miss. High water militated against success, so that by the 16th the command reported at Pittsburg Landing. From that date to April 6, the command was engaged in a series of little expeditions sent out from camp at Shiloh Church. On the 6th it was, with its brigade, swept back by the furious assaults of the Confederate hosts, and only regained their camp after two days' participation in one of the bloodiest battles of the war. On the 8th the 57th took part in the pursuit of the retreating enemy, and suffered further loss, the total in three days being, 27 killed, 150 wounded (16 mortally) and 10 prisoners. During most of the summer and fall after the Corinth campaign, the regiment was on duty in West Tennessee, with headquarters at Memphis part of the time. In the Yazoo and Chickasaw campaign the 57th lost 37 men, killed and wounded.

On January 11, 1863, the attack on Arkansas Post was led by this regiment, it being for two hours within 270 feet of the embrasures in the parapet, before the works were surrendered. In this affair the 57th lost thirty-seven killed and wounded. After this campaign the regiment joined in the operations against Vicksburg until May 1, when Grant's soldiers took boats and floated down to Grand Gulf, where the 57th took part in the brilliant campaign which preceded the capture of Vicksburg, including the siege, in which the 57th took a gallant part.

In November, 1863, the 5 7th, with the rest of Sherman's command, after a toilsome march from Mississippi to Chattanooga, Tenn., arrived in time to take a hand in the successful assault on Mission Ridge.

In May, 1864, the regiment entered on the Atlanta campaign, having, on March 29, arrived at Nashville, after a long furlough, following the re-enlistment in January. It was present at Snake Creek Gap, May 8; at Resaca, from May 13 to 16; at Dallas, May 25 to June 4; at Kenesaw Mountain, June 9 to 30, where, on June 27, it lost fifty-seven killed and wounded. On July 22 it was a stern wall opposing Hood's sortie from Atlanta, recapturing the works in its front three times, and holding its position. From July 28 to September 2 it was engaged in the siege of Atlanta, took part in the affairs at Jonesboro on August 31 and September 1 ; at Statesboro on December 4, and at Fort McAllister, December 13, 1864, losing, in the bayonet charge at the last named place, ten killed and eighty wounded. On March 13, 1865, at Fayetteville, and on March 19-20 and 21 at Bentonville, N. C., it was in the thick of battle, and remained in the front until after Johnston's surrender. It participated in the grand review at Washington in May, 1865, and moving to Little Rock, Ark., it was mustered out, August 14, 1865. On August 25 it was discharged at Camp Chase, Ohio. Of the 1, 594 men enrolled, only 481 were living on date of muster-out.

The Seventy-second Infantry (three years) was organized at Fremont in the last quarter of 1861, with the majority of its members from Sandusky, and some from Wood and Medina counties-in all about g00 strong. The Colonels of the regiment, successively, were: Ralph P. Buckland, Leroy Crockett, Charles G. Eaton; Lieut.-Cols.: Herman Canfield, Leroy Crockett, Charles G. Eaton, Eugene A. Rawson, Samuel A. J. Snyder; Majors: Leroy Crockett, Charles G. Eaton, Eugene A. Rawson, Samuel A. J. Snyder, James C. Fernald.

Wood county was represented in companies C, E, I, F, and D, the men going principally from Montgomery, Freedom, Troy and Lake townships. Capts. John H. Blinn and Charles D. Dennis of Company E; Lieuts. Morris Reese, of D, Albert Bates, of I, and Daniel W. Huffman, of C, were from Wood county; also the chaplain of the regiment, A. B. Poe. The battalion left for Camp Chase on January 24, 1862, and there Company K, or the Medina company, was disbanded, the privates distributed among the other companies, and the officers discharged. Then a company, enlisted for the 52nd Infantry, was assigned to the 72d as Company K, and, the regimental strength thus attained, the


WOOD COUNTY, OHIO. - 128

command was ordered to report at Paducah to Gen. Sherman, where it was assigned to Col. Buckland's brigade, with the 48th and 10th Infantry Regiments. In March, 1862, the movement up the Tennessee and thence to Eastport, Miss., was carried out, the men suffering severely during their voyage on the " Baltic," and from the effects of bad water at Pittsburg Landing. On April 4, 1862, they met the enemy at Crump's Landing, Tenn., and on the 6th and 7th at Shiloh, where the brigade held the position against a heavy Confederate force, and where it participated in the charge which cleared the field, and in the pursuit as far as Monterey. In this initiatory work, there were two officers and thirteen soldiers killed, three officers and seventy men wounded, and one officer and forty-five men missing. The siege of Corinth, Miss., continued from April 30 to May 31, 1862. There Col. Buckland resumed command of the regiment, was present at Russell House, Miss., May 17, and at the entry into Memphis July 21, 1862, where it remained on garrison duty until November 26, when it was ordered to the Tallahatchie country. Later it encountered Richardson's guerrillas near Moscow, Miss., and on January 16, 1863, arrived at Corinth.

The command was kept moving from place to place, without adventure, until May 14, 1863, when it participated in the decisive affair at Jackson. Arriving before Vicksburg on the 18th, it for the two succeeding days rendered effective aid in assaulting the strong works at that point. After lying down before the city for a little while, it proceeded toward the Big Black, to intercept Joe Johnston's Rebel command; then moved against him at Jackson, and pursued him to Brandon. During the balance of the year it participated in the marching and counter-marching between the Pearl river and Memphis, and in January, 1864, in the Meridian expedition, and the affair at Hickahala Creek, Miss., of February 10. On February 28, 1864, the remnant of the veterans arrived at Fremont, on furlough, but on April 5 moved to Cleveland, recruited to a strength of 500 men, thence to Paducah, where it skirmished with Forrest's command on April 14, and thence south to its old camp grounds on Wolf river and round Memphis, meeting the enemy at Guntown, or Brice's Cross Roads, on June 10, at Harrisburg July 13, at Tupelo July 14, and Old Town Creek on July 15. The Guntown affair was disastrous to the Federal force. The officer in charge, seeing defeat inevitable, gathered the cavalry around him, and left the infantry to the tender mercy of Forrest's veterans. Eleven officers of the 72d and 237 men were killed, wounded or captured, while nine officers and 140 men ran 100 miles in forty-one hours to seek refuge at Germantown. In September, the 72d entered Arkansas and Missouri to aid in opposing Price, but recrossed the Mississippi in November, and, on December 6 or 7, took part in the affair at Little Harpeth, Tenn., where it lost eleven men killed and wounded. On December 15 and 16 it took part in the brilliant fighting at Nashville, and from December 17 to January 1, 1865, was engaged in the pursuit of Hood. From March 26 to April 9, 1865, it was engaged in the siege of Spanish Fort, Ala. In April forty veterans received honorable discharge, and September 11, 1865, the command was mustered out at Vicksburg, Mississippi.



The Sixty-eighth Infantry (three years) was organized in October, November and December, 1861. Defiance, Williams, Paulding and Fulton counties each furnished one company, and Henry county furnished the majority of the men in the other companies. The officers of the regiment, successively, were Samuel H. Steedman, Robert K. Scott, Geo. E. Wells, Cols. ; Samuel H. Steedman, Robert K. Scott, John S. Snook, Geo. E. Wells, Arthur C. Crockett, Lieut.-Cols.; and Robert K. Scott, John S. Snook, Geo. E. Wells, Arthur C. Crockett, Robert Masters, Majors. Wood was about equally represented in Companies H and I, the men going mainly from Grand Rapids, Freedom, Milton and Lake townships. Lieuts. William A. Wood, of Company H, and Lewis F. Dubbs, of Company I, were from Wood county.

The regiment rendezvoused at Camp Latta, in Henry county, in the winter of 1861-62, moving on January 21, to Camp Chase, and from there it moved to Fort Donelson, Tenn., arriving on the 14th. The regiment was assigned to Gen. Charles F. Smith's division, and was constantly engaged in skirmishing on the left of the lines during both days' operations. After the surrender, the regiment camped near Dover until March 15, when it moved to Metal Landing, on the Tennessee, and from there by boat to Pittsburg Landing. The health of the regiment until this time had been remarkably good; but now bad weather, bad water, and bad rations, reduced its strength from 1,000 to less than 250 men. The regiment was assigned to Gen. Lew Wallace's division, and during the battle of Pittsburg Landing was engaged in guarding ordnance and supply trains. During the operations around Corinth,.


WOOD COUNTY, OHIO. - 129

the regiment was constantly engaged in building roads, bridges, and intrenchments. After the evacuation, the 68th, with the 23d Indiana, was stationed at Bolivar, where they rebuilt the bridges across the Hatchie, and formed the guards along the railroad. The regiment participated in the battles of Iuka and Matamora, and for gallantry in the latter engagement was complimented in general orders. It closed its part in the campaign of 1862 by forming the advance of an expedition which attempted to penetrate the interior of Mississippi to Vicksburg. During the campaign the regiment was assigned to the Second Brigade, Third Division, 17th Army Corps, and continued to serve with them until the close of the war.

While at Richmond, La., in the spring of 1863, Lieut. J. C. Banks, of Company C, and privates John Snyder, of A, Joseph Longberry and William Barnhart, of C, volunteered to take one of the transports-a common river steamer past the Vicksburg batteries. They accomplished their undertaking successfully on the night of April 21. On April 23, the regiment began its march for the rear of Vicksburg. It marched more than seventy miles over low bottom lands, still partly submerged, crossed innumerable bayous on bridges hastily constructed, and reached the Mississippi at Grand Gulf. It participated in the battle of Thompson's Hill, May 1, 1863, and was engaged in the battles of Raymond, Jackson, Champion Hills, and Big Black which followed. The regiment sustained considerable loss in these engagements, and especially at Champion Hills. The 68th engaged in an attack on the Rebel works in the rear of Vicksburg, May 18, and it participated in the assault on Fort Hill on the 22nd. During the early part of the siege the regiment was almost constantly in the trenches, and it also furnished large details of sharpshooters. It participated in the engagements at Jackson on July 12. On February 5, 1864, it participated in the fight at Baker's Creek, while moving on the Meridian raid.

The regiment was one of the first in the 17th Corps to report three-fourths of its men re-enlisted, it having done so December 15, 1863. .On June 10, 1864, the 68th joined Sherman's main, army at Ackworth, Ga. During the remainder of the Atlanta campaign the regiment was under fire almost constantly. It was on the advance line for sixty-five days and nights, and was engaged at Kenesaw, Nicojack and Atlanta, July 22 and 28, and at Jonesboro and Lovejoy. After the engagement at Lovejoy, the regiment moved in pursuit of Hood. The return march from Gaylesville, Ala., was by way of Cane Springs and Lost Mountain to Smyrna camp meeting ground, and at daylight on November 15, from Atlanta, commenced the march to the sea. It reached Savannah on December 10, and assisted in throwing up a heavy line of works, and furnished two companies daily as sharpshooters. On January 5, 1865, the regiment embarked at Thunderbolt bay for Beaufort, and from there to Pocotaligo, and two weeks later the troops moved on the campaign of the Carolinas. The regiment participated in the Grand Review at Washington, May 24, 1865.

The Twenty-fifth Infantry was organized at Camp Chase June 28, 1861, being composed of men from almost every section of the State. It was officered, successively, by James A. Jones, W. P. Richardson, Nathaniel L. Haughton, Cols. ; William P. Richardson, George Webster, James F. Charlesworth, Jeremiah Williams, Nathaniel Haughton, and E. C. Culp, Lt. -Cols.; and William P. Richardson, John Coons, George Webster, James F. Charlesworth, Jeremiah Williams, John W. Bowlus, Nathaniel Haughton, C. E. Randall, E. C. Culp, and Luther B. Mesnard, Majors. Of these Major Randall was from Wood county. Company E was composed largely of men from Wood county, principally from Montgomery township. Major Randall was 2d Lieut. of the company, was promoted to 1st Lieut. of G, then to Capt. and then to Major of the regiment. Second Lieut. Elisha Biggerstaff, of E, became 1st Lieut. in A, and finally became a captain in the regiment. Lieut. Andrew J. Hale, of E, became regimental quartermaster. Wm. P. Scott was promoted from 2d Lieut. of K to the captaincy of A. Jesse C. Chance, of E, was made 2d Lieut. of the Fifth U. S. Colored troops. These men were all from Wood. This county had also some men scattered through other companies.

On June 29 the regiment proceeded to Western Virginia, and was stationed along the B. & O. R. R. from Oakland to the Ohio river, and broke up several gangs of bushwhackers. On August 21, the command reported to Gen. Reynolds at Beverly. It then marched to Cheat mountain, and encamped on the summit where the troops suffered severely during the fall and winter. They were continually on duty either in the fort or on the picket-line; sleet or snow fell almost daily; the men of the 25th were totally unprovided with overcoats, and many of them were without shoes or blankets. On the


130 - WOOD COUNTY, OHIO.

morning of September 12, a wagon train was captured, and it was soon discovered that the enemy was not far distant in force under command of Gen. Lee. Preparations were made for a strenuous defense; every available man was placed on picket duty, and for eight days the skirmishing was continuous. At the end of this time troops from the valley succeeded in breaking through the Rebel lines; bringing with them to the summit supplies, and the Rebel commander, seeing the futility of his efforts, withdrew.

On October 3, 1861, Gen. Reynolds marched from the summit of Cheat mountain to assault the Confederate works at Greenbrier, but the expedition was fruitless. On November 25, the headquarters were moved into the valley, whence, on December 11, Col. Jones led 460 men against Camp Baldwin, and on the 12th and 13th, attacked Camp Alleghany, driving the enemy to their cabins repeatedly, but at last had to retire for lack of ammunition, leaving nine killed and seventy-five wounded on the field. The Huntersville raid was undertaken on December 31, and finished on January 4, with the destruction of Rebel stores, and a march of i06 miles effected in five days. Later Company D was detached and formed into a battery, equipped with Wiard's steel guns, and after March 17, 1862, was known as the Twelfth Ohio Battery. The scout toward Seneca began on April 1. At Monterey another scout joined the Twenty-fifth, and on the 12th Johnston's attack on that point was repulsed, and fell back before the re-enforced, scouts to Staunton, the Federals holding McDowell until May 7, when Johnston and Jackson's corps returned to give battle. On May 8 Gen. Schenck's brigade came as a reinforcement, and offered battle at Bull Pasture mountain, credited in the reports as the battle of McDowell. The Federal forces carried the fight on until long after darkness, and then fell back on Franklin, leaving nine killed and fifty-six wounded on the field. The pursuit of Jackson, under Fremont, followed, and on June 8 the affair at Cross Keys took place, the regiment losing eight killed, fifty-four wounded and two missing. In July it was on duty on the Rappahannock, and Rapidan. On August 23, 24 and 25 it took part in the affair at Freeman's Ford, and on the 30th in the second battle of Bull Run, the regiment losing ten men killed, seventy-eight wounded and twenty-two missing. Having, on the 28th, learned that Phil Kearney defeated Jackson's rear-guard at Centerville, the regiment fell back on that town after Manassas, and on September 3 moved to Upton Hill. From the 1st to the 4th of May, 1863, it was engaged in the battle of Chancellorsville, losing seventeen killed, 12a wounded and thirty-seven missing.

The regiment was in the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Division of the 11th Army Corps. On June 27 the 25th started on the Gettysburg campaign with Gen. Barlow in command of the Division, and Gen. Ames in command of the brigade. The 11th corps arrived at Emmettsburg on the 29th. On the 1st of July the corps moved toward Gettysburg, with Barlow's division in advance. Upon reaching the town the division was placed in position, and became engaged almost immediately. The 25th was also engaged on the 2nd and 3rd. Several of the officers had been killed or wounded, and the regiment was commanded by a 1st lieutenant who had been wounded in the first day's battle. The 25th went into action with 220 men, and lost 20 killed, 113 wounded, and 5o missing. The regiment on July 5, moved with the division in pursuit of the Rebels, and in the Hagerstown skirmish supported Kilpatrick. On January 1, 1864, the regiment re-enlisted, and after their veteran furlough (during which the command had been greatly strengthened), March 26, resumed service at Hilton Head, South Carolina.

On November 2, nearly 300 recruits joined the regiment, including one entire company - D. The 25th was engaged at Hilton Head, S. C., November 30, and lost 150 in killed and wounded, including sixteen officers. It was engaged at Deveaux Neck and Gregory's Landing, S. C., December 6, 7, 8 and 9, and on the 8th lost 54 in killed and wounded. The troops marched into Charleston February 26, 1865.

The 25th was in the raid on the expedition destroying railroad property in eastern and central South Carolina, engagements were had at Dingle's Mills, Statsburg, Rafting Creek, Boykin's Mills, Swift Creek and Red Hill. Later, the 25th performed duty at Charleston, and at other points throughout South Carolina, and there remained during the winter of 1865-66 and the following spring, not being discharged until June 18, 1866.

The Eighty-sixth Infantry (six months) was organized at Camp Cleveland, July 14, 1863, by Maj. Wilson C. Lemert, of the former three months' organization, who became its Colonel. Companies F and D were pretty well represented by men from Wood county. John H. Reid, of Perrysburg, being Captain of D. The regiment was ordered to Zanesville, Ohio, to join in the chase of John Morgan's raiders. It figured in


WOOD COUNTY, OHIO. - 131

the pursuit which resulted in the capture of Morgan's forces.

The 86th returned to Camp Tod, and, August 8, was ordered to Camp Nelson, Ky., there to join an expedition organizing for the capture of Cumberland Gap, East Tenn. The expedition was under command of Col. John De Courcy, and left Camp Nelson August 17, arriving in front of Cumberland Gap September 8. The 86th formed a part of this command. Simultaneously with the arrival of . De Courcy in front of the Gap; on the Kentucky side, Major-Gen. Burnside arrived with his forces on the opposite or Tennessee side, thus completely investing the Rebel garrison under Gen. Frazier. On September 9, a formal summons was sent to the Rebel commander for the surrender of the place, which demand was acceded to by Gen. Frazier, thus doubtless saving a great loss of life, as the Gap could have been stoutly defended if the Rebel general had so willed. The 86th immediately marched into the fort and took possession, hoisting the Stars and Stripes in place of the Rebel bunting. The fruits of this affair were 2,800 men, 5,000 stand of arms, and 13 pieces of artillery.

The 86th remained at the Gap as a part of the garrison until its term of service expired. It was mustered out February 10, 1864.

The Third Ohio Cavalry was organized between September 3 and December 11, 1861, at Monroeville, Huron county, and mustered for three years' service, officered by Col. Lewis Zahm, Lieut.-Col. Douglas A. Murray, and Maj. John H. Foster. Wood was represented in several companies, probably more largely in L. John Dusing, of Company L, rose from the ranks through the successive steps to 1st lieutenant of the company. Norman Brewster, also from this county, became a lieutenant in the regiment.

On January 14, 1862, the regiment moved to Camp Dennison, thence to a position in Indiana opposite to Louisville, Ky. On March 2, it was ordered to Nashville. On March 29, the command moved to Pittsburg Landing. On the march, April 4, the first battalion met and drove out of Lawrenceburg Biffle's Rebel cavalry, the latter losing one killed, several wounded and six horses captured. The regiment went into camp four miles from the river, at Pittsburg Landing, on April 25. On May 4, the first battalion reconnoitered about Monterey, and crossed Chamber's creek, where it met the enemy, which was driven back to his main body. The 3rd then moved up with Gen. T. J. Wood's division, to within ten miles of Corinth. A brisk fight ensued, and in the action the Rebels lost twelve killed, among whom was Lieut. Col. Ingram. On May 27, 1862, the regiment found the enemy in force, west of Corinth, and routed him, killing four of the number. On June 1, the first battalion joined Gen. Wood's division en route to Burnsville, Tuscumbia and Iuka, Miss., but on the 19th the remainder of the regiment joined the battalion, at Tuscumbia, and for almost a month marched and countermarched, under the scorching sun, on both sides of the western line of Alabama. The protection of Shelbyville was entrusted to this command on July 15, but on the 18th it marched to Winchester, near which, on the 29th, it took eighty-nine head of fat cattle from the enemy.

In the latter part of August, Maj. Foster's battalion attempted to cross the Cumberland range to Dunlap, but while en route captured five mounted men and dispatches from Bragg to Wheeler (who was then north of McMinnville), continued his journey toward Dunlap, drove in the pickets, killed two and wounded four men, and fell back on division headquarters. In September, however, the real business of war opened for this command, at Munfordville, on September 21, 1862. There a force three times as strong was driven to their works, losing two killed and two wounded, while inflicting a loss on the enemy of thirty-eight killed and sixty wounded, including Lt.-Col. Brown. It joined in the pursuit of Bragg, October 1, and came up with him on the 4th, losing six killed, twenty wounded and seventeen prisoners, near Bardstown.

The second and third battalions, under Col. Zahm, were, meantime, engaged in hunting down guerrillas in Tennessee and Alabama, losing, in that hazardous service, six men killed and a number wounded. Shortly after, the two battalions were attached to the 2d Cavalry Brigade, under Col. Zahm, took part in the battle of Perryville, and doing excellent service until a detachment went into temporary camp at Ashland, while era route to Lexington as an escort to couriers. On the morning of October 20, Morgan's men surrounded the little force, robbed the men of their horses and valuables, paroled them and sent them back to their regiment.

The second and third battalions next moved from Danville to Bowling Green, and thence to Gallatin. where, supported by a brigade of infantry of Gen. Wood, they attacked the guerrilla stronghold, captured his camp equipage and many prisoners, and saw the chief retreat beyond the Cumberland. This adventure over, the battal-


132 - WOOD COUNTY, OHIO.

ions met another enemy in the first battalion, that had just appeared, and cave battle to the victors. The mistake was soon discovered; but the delay it occasioned gave Morgan an opportunity to make good his escape into the fastnesses. The regiment moved to Hartsville, Tenn., where the first and second battalions were engaged in guarding the fords of the Cumberland, and from which a detachment was sent forward to intercept a drove of mules and a provision train in the neighborhood of Carthage. Capt. Culver, who commanded, led his men twenty-six miles, crossed the river four times, and ultimately captured 146 mules, killed three and captured seventeen of Morgan's men, and the entire train. In December the regiment moved to a point near Nashville where it was attached to the 1st Cavalry Corps of the Army of the Cumberland, and by this means the first battalion became united with the regiment. On December 26 the 3rd, 4th and 1st Cavalry routed the Confederates at Franklin, and killed the celebrated guerrilla, Richard McCann. On the 27th a second attack on Franklin was equally successful, but the enemy coming in force drove the cavalry to Triune, where, on the 28th the Confederates were severely checked. On December 29, 30 and 31, 1862, the 2nd and 3rd Battalions held the right of Rosecrans' position, meeting Bragg's left face to face, recapturing McCook's ammunition train on the 31st, taking 140 prisoners, and entailing severe losses on Wheeler's Cavalry, but losing thirteen men killed and a number wounded. The affair at Stewart's Creek of January 1, 1863, was the repulse of Wheeler's Cavalry by the 3rd Cavalry, 10th Ohio Infantry, and B00 of the 15th Pennsylvania Cavalry, then en route to Nashville as escort for a train of 4,000 wagons. On January 1, 1863, the regiment was in the engagement at Stewart's Creek with Wheeler's cavalry, and later skirmished at Readyville, and maneuvered about Murfreesboro, Tennesse.

In July, 1863, the regiment moved with Rosecrans' army in Crittenden's corps, charged across Elk river, routed the enemy, subsequently made the three-days' running fight in the Squatty Valley, and aided in opening communication between Chattanooga and Knoxville. At Lafayette, on September 19 and 20, 1863, the regiment held the extreme left, and was driven back to Charleston, Tenn. ; later, it engaged in the pursuit, coming up with the Confederates at McMinnville, on September 28, and at the Shelbyville pike, near Farmington, on October 7. During the month of November detachments scouted, in East Tennessee and around Dalton, Ga., near which Capt. Wood was killed. In January, 1864, only 400 effective men of the original 1, 300 were left.

The regiment was furloughed in February, 1864, and when in Ohio 1,000 recruits were added. On May 26 and 29 the command was in the engagement at Decatur, Ala. ; it was also present at Kenesaw Mountain, June 27; at Vining Station, July 2; Peach Tree Creek, July 20; Jonesboro, August 19 and 20; Lovejoy's Station, August 20-all in Georgia; Franklin, Tenn., November 30, 1864; Selma, Ala., April 2, 1865; Columbus, Ga., April 16, and Macon, Ga., April 20. The command was mustered out August 4, 1865, having served three years and 345 days.

The One Hundred and Eighty-fifth Infantry (one year) was organized at Camp Chase, February 25, 1865, with John E. Cummins, Colonel, who was commissioned a day later. Dennis H. Williams was Lieut.-Colonel, and Horatio N. Benjamin, Major.



Wood county had a good representation in Company K, which was commanded by Capt. Luther Black; Lieut. Samuel J. Lamb, of the same company. and Lieut. Daniel W. Peugh, of E, all from this county. The strength of the command on organization was 1,006 men, fifty per centum of whom had seen service in the field some for three years. The officers, too, were veterans in many instances, so that, in every way, it was qualified to take a full part in quelling the Rebellion. The command left camp February 27, for Nashville, but was held at Louisville by Gen. Palmer with the consent of Gen. Thomas, while headquarters were established at Eminence, Ky. Four companies were detached to guard Cumberland Gap, two companies to Mt. Sterling, while other detachments garrisoned posts at Shelbyville, La Grange, Lebanon, Greensburg and other favorite camping places of Morgan's guerrillas. The regiment had no opportunity of showing its fighting qualities, though a Confederate brigade appeared before Mt. Sterling. That brigade came to surrender rather than to fight. The 185th was mustered out at Lexington, Ky., September 26, 1865, the strength being then 889 men.

The Tenth Cavalry (three years) was organized at Camp Taylor in October, 1862, by Charles C. Smith, but was not ready for the field until the spring of 1863. Mr. Smith was commissioned colonel of the command February 26, 1863.


WOOD COUNTY, OHIO. - 133

Wood county was fairly represented in Company G. Daniel H. Hill and Jared H. Fuller, of G, rose from the ranks to a lieutenancy, the former becoming 2d Lieutenant of Company C, and the latter 2d Lieutenant of Company D.

The regiment, in the spring of 1863, left for Nashville, thence on to Murfreesboro, Tenn., and in the vicinity of the latter place remained and performed picket and scout duty until the Army of the Cumberland opened the campaign against Gen. Bragg at Tullahoma. During the campaign the 10th Cavalry performed a vast amount of marching and countermarching, fighting such Rebel cavalry as it met. At the battle of Chickamauga one company, commanded by Capt. Haynie (then a lieutenant), acted as escort to Gen. Granger, the main portion of the regiment being ordered to guard communications in the rear. After the battle the 10th was ordered up the Sequatche Valley to guard that country against guerrillas under Champ Ferguson. While in the Valley a portion of the regiment accompanied a detachment of the 15th Pennsylvania Cavalry on a scout into East Tennessee, under command of Col. Palmer, of the latter regiment. This scout was effectual, and that part of the State was rid from banditti of every kind. The detachment was absent from the regiment about three months, and during that time was almost daily engaged with the enemy. At one time the detachment engaged and defeated a force of 500 Rebels (300 Indians and 200 North Carolinians,) led by Gov. Vance. who was captured, together with a hundred of his men and his wagon-train. On the return of the expedition it found the regiment stationed at Bridgeport, Ala., where it had removed from Rossville, Ga. In the spring of 1864, the regiment went into camp at Lavergne, Tenn. In the long and tedious march through Ringgold, Ga., where the regiment was attached to the 2d Brigade, 3d Division, Cavalry Corps, to Marietta, it was repeatedly engaged with the enemy, and at the Battle of Resaca the loth, under Col. Smith, led the charge which commenced that fight. In the brilliant dash the loss of the regiment was severe.

The regiment was actively engaged in all of Kilpatrick's movements during Sherman's Atlanta campaign, and several times made raids around Atlanta. On the march to the sea much of the fighting that occurred was performed by the cavalry. The 10th was frequently engaged, encountering the enemy first at Jonesville, Ga., and from that place to Savannah, Ga., scarcely a day passed without encounters with the Rebel Gen. Wheeler's and other cavalry and infantry.

The victory at Lovejoy's Station was mainly attributable to a general charge by the entire division (nine regiments) of cavalry. At Bear Creek Station the 10th engaged the enemy, singly behind formidable barricades, using the saber, and put him to ignoble flight. Lieut. James Morgan, of Company F, was killed while gallantly leading his men in the charge. The cavalry command moved on the Clinton and Macon road, intending to demonstrate toward the latter place, as if to attack it. Gen. Kilpatrick brought his men to within a mile of the city, and, under the fire of thirteen pieces of artillery, the 10th Ohio, led by Capt. Hofford, charged the works with drawn sabers, and never halted until the fort was entered and two pieces of artillery were captured; but not without heavy loss in killed, wounded and prisoners. Among the prisoners was Capt. J. Hofford. The enemy was also encountered at Griswoldville, Gordon and Milledgeville.

The 10th bore an honorable part in the encounter with the Rebel cavalry about Louisville, Ga., Waynesboro, and Augusta, in the latter part of November and first part of December, 1864. At Waynesboro the advance squadron of the 10th was led by Capt. Samuel Norton, of D, who was killed at the head of the column while encouraging his men to deeds of daring. The loss on both sides in this engagement was severe. The 10th was actively engaged in the campaign through the Carolinas, meeting the enemy frequently. Gen. Kilpatrick on many occasions expressed his opinion that the 10th Ohio was the best charging regiment he had under his command.

The One Hundred and Eighty-second Infantry (one year).--Five companies of it were recruited in the vicinity of Toledo, and organized at Camp Toledo by Lieut.-Col. J. A. Chase. While at Camp Chase five other companies were added, and the organization was completed October 28, 1864, Col. Lewis Butler being placed in command. Some few men from Wood county served in the regiment, mainly in companies A and B. The regiment moved south on November 1, and five days later was attached to Sherman's army at Nashville. There the men were drilled, so that, on December 4, 1864, when Hood circumvallated the city, this command took an important part in the battle which ensued. There it remained on guard and provost duty until July 7, 1865, when it was mustered out. Returning to Ohio, it was discharged at Camp Chase, July 13, 1865.


134 - WOOD COUNTY, OHIO.

The First Light Artillery (three years) was organized under the militia law of 1860. and formed a part of the Ohio militia. It consisted of six companies, having one gun each. The Colonel was James Barnett. The organization was drilled and disciplined, and at the breaking out of the war took the field, reporting at Columbus April 22, 1861. It went into camp at Marietta, Ohio. On May 28 a part of the organization was sent to Col. Steedman of the 14th Ohio, then stationed at Parkersburg, and the rest went on the following day to Benwood, thence to Grafton, reporting to Gen. T. A. Morris. The two guns sent under Lt.-Col. Sturgis to Col. Steedman participated at Philippi.. This was the first artillery fired by the Federal forces in the war of the. Rebellion. Later the main command was joined by the detachment under Lt.-Col. Sturgis, and moved with Gen. Morris' forces to Laurel Hill, and joined in the attack made on the Rebels at that place; the Rebels were again attacked at Carrick's Ford, which terminated the three-months' term of the command's service (about July 26, x861).

The regiment with its twelve light batteries was mustered into the U. S. service for three years, dating from September 3, 1861. The command was organized by batteries at Camp Dennison, and as each battery was filled and equipped it was sent to the field. Each battery had a separate and distinct history. Nearly all the men who went from Wood county served in battery G, and were mainly from Washington, Freedom and Liberty townships. The battery was mustered in at Camp Dennison December 17, 1861. On February 15 it went to Cincinnati, thence into camp at Jeffersonville, Ind., where it remained until the 27th, when it went to Nashville. On March 11 the command was ordered, with Capt. Mendenhall's regular battery, to report to Gen. Crittenden, commanding the 5th Division. It moved with the column, and on Sunday morning, April 6, fifteen miles from Savannah, on the Tennessee river, the troops heard the heavy firing at Pittsburg Landing. The command reached Savannah by 8 P. M. and thence by steamer proceeded to Pittsburg Landing, reaching there at one o'clock in the morning of Monday, April 7, disembarked and took position in line of battle at 6 A. M., supported by Gen. Boyle's brigade of Crittenden's division, and was engaged the entire day. This battery was the only volunteer battery of Buell's army engaged in the battle.

The battery served with General Crittenden's division through the siege of Corinth, and later took part in the engagement at Stone River. The battery was engaged at Chickamauga September 19 and 20, 1863, taking position on the Rossville road, where it was continually under fire until after the battle of Mission Ridge. On October 9, upon the re-organization of the army, it was ordered to report to Col. Barnett, the commanding officer of the Reserve Artillery. On December , it marched for Nashville, and was mustered in as a veteran battery January 4, 1864. In August it moved with the cavalry under Gen. Croxton, in pursuit of Wheeler's forces, which after three or four sharp engagements were driven across the Tennessee river at Florence, Ala. The battery moved to Chattanooga in October; but, in the same month, reported to chief of artillery of the 4th Army Corps at Pulaski. On November 23, it broke camp at Pulaski, and while falling back toward Nashville disputed the ground with Hood day by day. On the 10th it checked Hood's advance into Franklin, and covered the rear of the Federal column moving out, and reached Nashville on the night of December t. The loss of the battery in killed and wounded at the battle of Franklin was twenty-three. It was highly complimented by Gen. Stanley for gallant services in the field.

On December 14, the battery was in the general engagement between Gens. Thomas and Hood, at Nashville, also it sharply engaged the enemy at Rutherford's creek, being in the advance column of the Federal forces in Hood's retreat to the Tennessee river. In March, 1865, it moved with the 4th Corps into East Tennessee and North Carolina, and in April returned to Nashville. In June it moved to New Orleans; returned in August for Ohio, and was mustered out at Camp Chase, September 1, 1865.

The Second Heavy Artillery (three years) was organized at Camp Dennison between the middle of June and the close of September, 1863, and mustered in between August 1 and October 5, that year, with Horatio G, Gibson, Colonel. Company A was mustered July 20; B, August 5 ; C, August 26; D, September 7; E, September 9; F, September 23; G, September 19; H, I, K and L, September 7, and M, September 9, 1863. Wood county furnished some men for this command, who served in battery L. This battery, on October 8, was moved to Fort Boone, Frankfort, Ky. ; thence was transferred, in December of the same year, to Battery Simons, at Munfordville, Ky. ; from there, in May, 1864, marched by land to Camp Sedgwick, at Cleveland, Tenn.,


WOOD COUNTY, OHIO. - 135

as guard to the regimental wagon-train. On August 3, 1864, it moved to Charleston, Tenn. There it participated in the engagement with the Rebel cavalry under Wheeler, and in the subsequent movements until it reached Strawberry Plains, where it remained up to August, 1865. It was mustered out of service at Nashville, Tenn., August 23, 1865.

Fifty-fifth Infantry (three years) was organized at Norwalk, Ohio, between the middle of September and the beginning of December, 1861. The command was mustered September 13, 1861, with John C. Lee, Colonel. There were a few men in the regiment from Wood county serving mainly in Company B, from which Henry J. Melton rose from the ranks to Second Lieutenant, and Quartermaster of the regiment.

On January 25, 1862, it left for Grafton, Western Virginia, and from there soon moved to New Creek. Its first skirmish was at Moorefield. The next spring it advanced to Romney, where it joined Gen. Schenck's brigade, which moved to Moorefield, and went into camp at a ferry on the Potomac, three or four miles north of the town. In the battle of McDowell, or Blue Pasture Mountain, the 55th constituted the reserve, and served as support to a battery. After the battle, the troops fell back to Franklin in order to avoid being cut off by a flank movement. On this march, and during the stay in Franklin, the regiment suffered severely on account of the scarcity of rations. The regiment was present at the battle of Cross Keys; but was not engaged. The army of Virginia was organized at Middletown, near Winchester, whither, about June 20, the regiment arrived, and stopped for a short rest. The 55th was brigaded with the 2 5th, 73d and 75th Ohio, and was attached to Gen. Schenck's division. The regiment was at Slaughter Mountain, arriving on the battlefield at 3 A. m., August 9, 1862.

Shortly before sunset, August 28, the regiment was pushed forward from the north of Warrenton, partly deployed as skirmishers, to discover Jackson's position. This was on the old Bull-Run battle ground. On the 29th the two armies were engaged the greater portion of the day, neither party gaining any very decided success. The 5 5th was under severe artillery fire, but was not engaged with the enemy's battle line. During the 30th the regiment lay in close column, by division, behind a swell of ground, upon which was posted a battery of six steel guns. About an hour before sunset the enemy appeared suddenly on the flank. The regiment deployed under fire, but after giving a few volleys it returned to the main line, which was about one hundred yards in the rear. Here the regiment was reformed, and it continued to engage the enemy until near dark, when with the brigade it gradually moved to the rear, and after dark it fell back to Centerville. The regiment at the battle of Chancellorsville formed part of the 11th Corps, and in going into position, on May 1, it was in the 2d Brigade from the right. In this engagement, which opened about 5 P. M., on the 2d, the 55th lost 153 men killed, wounded and missing.

About May 15, the regiment became a part of the 2nd Division, and remained in that brigade until the end of its term of service. The regiment was present at the battle of Gettysburg. The division was posted first on Cemetery Hill, but was moved subsequently to the left of the Baltimore pike. The battle line of the regiment was not engaged, but the skirmish line was subject, most of the time, to a severe fire. The 55th lost about fifty men in the battle. At Lookout Mountain, the regiment being on picket, it was not in the early part of the engagement, and sustained no loss. In the battle of Mission Ridge the corps formed line to the left and front of Fort Hood, and, moving forward rapidly, drove the Rebel skirmish line beyond the East Tennessee railroad. On the afternoon of the 25th of November, 1863, the 55th was posted on the extreme left, and guarded the flank during the remainder of the battle.

On January 1, 1864, 319 men of the regiment re-enlisted; and after a furlough returned to Lookout Valley. The 11th and 12th corps were consolidated about this time, and became the 10th, and the 55th formed a part of the 3rd Brigade of the 3rd Division. On May 2, the regiment started on the Atlanta campaign, and participated in all the battles in which the 10th corps was engaged.. It suffered severely at the battle of Resaca May 15, losing upward of 90 men. It was engaged at Cassville, Dallas, New Hope Church, Marietta, and Kenesaw; was also engaged at the battle of Peach Tree Creek July 20. During the siege of Atlanta, the 55th occupied a place in the line. The regiment from Atlanta, November 15, moved toward the sea coast, and entered Savannah on the 21st. In January, 1865, it started on the campaign of the Carolinas. At the battle of Smith's farm, March 16, it lost thirty-six men killed and wounded. It was at Goldsboro and at Raleigh, and participated in the grand review. The regiment was mustered out at Louisville, Ky., July 11, 1865.


136 - WOOD COUNTY, OHIO.

The One Hundred and Seventeenth Infantry and First Heavy Artillery (three years). The regiment was organized as the 117th Infantry at Camp Portsmouth, September 15, 1862, with eight companies, and came under the colonelcy of Chancey G. Hawley. It served in various parts of Kentucky in the fall of 1862, and spring of 1863. In May, 1863, the regiment was changed into the First Heavy Artillery Ohio Volunteers, and recruited to the maximum strength of that organization. A number of men from Jackson and Perry townships, of Wood county, served in Company L of this organization, among whom was John Foreman, who became 1st Lieutenant, and was promoted Quarter-master of the regiment.

The regiment constructed the fine and extensive fortifications for eight miles around Covington and Newport, making Cincinnati one of the strongest fortified cities in the Union. During the fall and winter of 1863-64 the regiment, in battalion detachments, was engaged in guard duty at various points in Kentucky. On February 19, 1864, it started under orders through heavy snow and extreme cold over the mountains to Knoxville, Tenn., arriving there March 9. Through that summer, and until in September, the regiment was engaged in guarding the railroads through Tennessee. It subsequently participated in foraging and fighting guerrillas throughout East Tennessee and North Carolina. It formed a part of the 1st Brigade, 4th Division, Army of the Cumberland, and was engaged in guarding mountain passes, and guarding captured points in Virginia and North Carolina. After the surrender of Lee and Jackson, the regiment saw. service in the Carolinas, Georgia and Tennessee. It was mustered out at Knoxville, Tenn., July 25, 1865.

The One Hundred and .Eighty-ninth (one year) was organized at Camp Chase, Ohio, March 5, 1865, with Henry D. Kingsbury, Colonel. Wood county had a good representation in Company G, of which Thomas A. Gorrill, of the county, was 2d Lieutenant.

The regiment immediately left for Huntsville, Ala. Several companies were placed along the Memphis & Charleston railroad between Stevenson and Decatur, and were engaged in guarding bridges and building stockades. One company was posted at Whitesburg, one at Claysviile, and Guntersville, on the Tennessee river, and one remained at Huntsville. On June, 20, the regiment was concentrated at Huntsville, and performed post duty until September 25, when it was ordered to Nashville, and there was mustered out.

One Hundred and Twenty-Eighth (three years) was organized at Columbus, Johnson's Island, and Camp Cleveland, Ohio, from December 7, 1861, to January 8, 1864, to serve three years. Four companies-A, B, C and D-of the organization, were originally known as the "Hoffman Battalion," raised at different times in 1862, which, before the time of forming the regiment, was under the command of a lieutenant-colonel and major. Six new companies were mustered in at Camp Taylor between the 8th and 15th of January, 1864. The four old companies had been on duty at Johnson's Island nearly all the time since their muster-in; but had frequently furnished detachments for service elsewhere, including a short and very active campaign in pursuit of Rebel troops in West Virginia in 1862. Wood county was represented in the 128th in Companies B, C and D, a few men serving from various parts of the county. Lieut. George W. Hollenbeck, of Companies C and A, respectively, was from Perrysburg. The regiment was chiefly occupied at the frontier posts of Johnson's Island and Sandusky, and its service. necessarily involves' much of the military history of those posts. It was mustered out at Camp Chase July 10, 1865.

In addition to Wood's representation in the regiments whose history is outlined in the above, sketches, her gallant and patriotic sons were scattered through various other Ohio commands, and, as set forth in the introductory remarks, they were found in a number of the organizations of other States. A glance at the roster will reveal that among the other Ohio commands men from Wood were enrolled in the 84th, 179th, 193d, 195th, 197th, 99th, 123d, 66th, 81st, 11th, 101st and 126th.

ROSTER OF WOOD COUNTY SOLDIERS.

It will be observed that the following rosters of Wood county's soldiers in the war of the Rebellion have, in main, been prepared by veterans of the county. They have furnished the names of the soldiers, and the records, so far as they could be found, have been added from the Roster of Ohio Soldiers. It has been the purpose to place the names of soldiers in the respective townships in which they lived and were identified at


WOOD COUNTY, OHIO. - 137

the time of enlistment. Where men lived close to township lines, and questions arose as to the townships in which they belonged, the men themselves were seen, when living, or were written to, members of the immediate family or near neighbors consulted, and the men placed as it became evident that they should be from such sources of information. Aside from the men whose names are given in the different townships as having been identified with the preparation of each roster, many others have been seen, and still others written to, and all possible efforts made at completeness.

BLOOM TOWNSHIP.

The names in the following list were furnished by a committee of veterans of Bloomdale, who had the benefit of a record of the soldiers of the township, which were prepared in 1866, by W. S. Richard, a resident of Bloomdale, then a school teacher of the township. Mr. Richard prepared the list of soldiers by school districts, and therefore quite accurately; to the committee's list of names the record of each soldier was added, then all was submitted in typescript, for additions and corrections, to Messrs. Richard, Solether, Shannabarger, Whitacre and others.

FREEDOM TOWNSHIP.

The foundation of this roster and record was made at Pemberville in September, 1895, when the commander and several comrades of the Grand Army Post, such as Messrs.

The work of compiling the following list of the soldiers sent from this township into the Union regiments, from 1861 to the close of 'the war of the Rebellion, was rendered easy by the action of the people in erecting a monument to them at Freeport, on which are inscribed their names, as well as by the co-operation of veterans throughout the township. The names of John Ruble, Levi Shroyer and John Shoup, with a record of each, whose records are given on the monument as they were enlisted in Montgomery, will appear in the roster of Portage township, where they resided at time of enlistment.

LOCAL MILITARY AFFAIRS.

District Committees.-The Congressional Military Committee appointed, in October, 1861, the following named citizens a Military Committee 'for Wood county: Henry H. Dodge and George Knoll, of Perrysburg; Thomas Gorrill, of Stony Ridge; James Pember, of Woodville; James Al. Bronson, of Eagleville, and John C. Wooster, of Bowling Green. George Las key signed the notice as chairman of the Military Committee of this county.

The Washington Minute Men, or '' Squirrel Hunters," left Tontogany in September, 1862, for the defense of Cincinnati. Among them were Caleb North, in his seventy-sixth year, and Archibald McComb, in his sixty-fifth year, while the others are named in the roster of Washington soldiers.

An Unlucky Day. -The accident of September 22, 1863, on the Dayton & Michigan railroad, resulted in the instant death of John Scott and William Philo, of Webster township, and serious injury to twenty-four others, named in the rosters of Webster and Freedom. Nearly all were residents of Webster township, en route to the militia encampment at Toledo. The accident was caused by a collision, in which the two locomotives were reduced to debris, and the first car of the military train to splinters.

Acts of the Commissioners. -The Commissioners, on June 7, 1862, having ascertained the number of soldiers' families in each township, appointed an agent for each township, and apportioned the relief fund according to the number requiring aid, as shown in the following statement: Perrysburg township, 23 families, $299 apportioned, E. Graham, agent; Freedom, 13-$169, Ira Banks; Webster, 13-$169, George Loomis; Weston, 20 -$261, George Laskey; Washington, 11-$143, A. B. C. Drury; Plain, 11-$143, D. Newton; Center, 10 -$130, Henry Shively; Bloom, 9$ 119, John Russell; Montgomery, 8-$104, J. B. Lockhart; Lake, 7-$91, Thomas Crago; Portage, 7-$91, Collister Haskins; Perry, 7-$91, Isaac Brandeberry; Milton, 6-$78, Alvin Clark; Middleton, 4-$52, Amelius Robertson; Jackson, 2-$26, J. R. Apger; Liberty, 2-$26, S. L. Sargent; Troy, 5-$65, Thomas Gorrill; and Henry, not credited. This was the first notice taken of the war by the commissioners, so far as records show. On June I, 1863. there were $2,716 paid to 388 soldiers' families. On January 7, 1864, the auditor was ordered to pay out of the military bounty fund, created that day, the sum of $100, with interest, to each volunteer, who enlisted in the military service of the United States, under the last call of the President. The payment was made under the belief that the Legislature would give the commissioners authority to levy a special tax to meet the outlay. In March, 1864, orders for $2,737 were issued against the Relief Fund; in June, 1864, $1,823; in June, 1865, $4,134; in September, $8,206; in March, 1866, $7,000; and in June, 1866, $7, t00. The total is only a fraction of the moneys expended 'for war purposes, but is enough to show what the corporation or county did.

CONCLUSION.



Ohio furnished twenty-three regiments of three-months' troops; 117 infantry regiments of three-years' troops; twenty-seven infantry regiments of one-year troops; two infantry regiments of six-months' troops; three infantry regiments of three-months' troops; forty-three infantry regiments of l00-days' troops; thirteen cavalry regiments of three-years' troops; three artillery regiments of three-years' troops; and twenty-six independent batteries of three-years' troops, or about one-eighth of the 2,688,523 men who enlisted in the Federal service from April, 1861, to August 20, 1866. Of the Ohio troops, 24,591 never returned; 6,536 were killed in battle; 4,674 died of wounds, 13.354 died of disease in hospitals; while 872 officers were killed, or died of wounds or disease. Wood county's losses were heavy, as shown in the foregoing records, but by immigration since the war, the number of soldiers residing here has been kept near 50 per centum of the number who enlisted from her townships and villages.

From the auditor's documents, based on the assessors' returns for 1895, the number (1,297) of veterans now residing within the county's boundaries, is taken: Liberty township, 56; Freedom, 37; Troy, 22; Perrysburg-south precinct, 61; Perrysburg--north precinct, 48; Webster, 27; Jackson, 44; North Baltimore-north, 48; North Baltimore-south, 47; Hammansburg, 9; Bloom Cygnet precinct, 10; Bloom-Jerry City precinct, 19; Bloomdale, 28; Bairdstown, 17; Montgomery -Bradner precinct, 39; Freeport, 69;
