The Gallant Thirty-third Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Was organized in the fall of 1861, and the following were its officers when ordered to the front: J. W. Sill, Colonel; O. F. Moore, Lieutenant-Colonel; J. V. Robinson, Jr., Major; Sam. A. Currie, Captain Company A; George P. Singer, First Lieutenant Company A; J. M. Higgins, Second Lieutenant Company A; E. J. Ellis, Captain Company B; E. M. DeBruine, First Lieutenant Company B; E. A. Ramsey, Second Lieutenant Company B; William H. Foster, Captain Company C; Charles Booker, First Lieutenant Company C; Edgar J. Higby, Second Lieutenant Company C; F. J. Lock, Captain Company D; Joseph Hinson, First Lieutenant Company D; R. S. Ramsey, Second Lieutenant Company D; Thomas Sikes, Lieutenant; James H. M. Montgomery, Captain Company E; Junius Gates, First Lieutenant Company E; J. J. Gist, Jr., Second Lieutenant Company E; B. F. Bayer, Captain Company F; F. J. Fitzwilliams, First Lieutenant Company F; W. B. Boby, Second Lieutenant Company F; Thaddeus A. Minshall, Captain Company G; Captain, V. B. Hibbs; First Lieutenant, Thomas Sikes; Second Lieutenant, Milton C. Peters; E. E. Folhren, Quartermaster; J. M. Kendrick, Adjutant.

Colonel Sill received marching orders, Oct. 14, 1861, for the interior of Kentucky. The Colonel was a military man, and his regiment was well drilled for service before the day of battle arrived. They marched to the interior of Kentucky, and Nov. 17, 1861, a battle was fought in which Wood, Jones, Willfong, Woodruff and Morrison were brought home wounded. By February, 1862, Colonel Sill had the command of the Ninth Brigade and Lieutenant-Colonel O. F. Moore took the command of the regiment. From Kentucky they reported at Nashville, Tenn., the first week in March, where they were, off and on, until May they reached Huntsville, Ala., and June 6, 1862, were at Battle Creek, Tenn., camped about twenty-five miles above Chattanooga, where they remained until August. In September they had fallen back again to Nashville. In this long march to Huntsville, Chattanooga and return to Nashville, they had some slight skirmishes and a good deal of hard travel. They reached Nashville in September, 1862. The outlook now was for active work and the regiment was again on Kentucky soil. In the bloody and desperate engagement at Perryville, Ky., the Thirty-third received its baptism. They were where the rain of balls fell thickest, and stood the brunt of a fierce charge like veterans. Indeed their noble and heroic stand against superior numbers saved, in a measure, the Federal army from more serious disaster then they experienced. The bull-dog courage of the Thirty- third held their ground or fell back inch by inch, giving was under no panic; and on this memorable day, Oct. 13, 1862, did the gallant Thirty-third win its badge of a veteran regiment. Colonel Moore was wounded and a prisoner. Captain Hibbs and Foster and Lieutenant Higgs, and Joseph Murray, private, were also wounded. After this battle the regiment went to New Market, Ky. The battles of Perryville and Stone River had been severely contested and the Thirty-third became known as a rock upon which rebels could cast themselves in vain. Colonel Moore returned to Portsmouth, and, on being exchanged, returned to his regiment, bearing with him from the citizens of Portsmouth a banner for his regiment, upon which was inscribed, "Perryville and Stone River." During the month of February, 1863, the regiment was partially reorganized, Colonel Sill becoming a Brigade Commander; Lieutenant-Colonel O. F. Moore was promoted to Colonel; F. J. Locke, Lieutenant-Colonel, and Captain E. J. Ellis, Major.

The regiment moved to Nashville and then to Murfreesboro, in which battle the regiment was engaged, Jan. 7, 1863, being led by Major Ellis. Major Ellis had his horse shot from under him, two of his men killed and thirteen wounded. It was found after the fight that four were missing, believed to be prisoners. The Thirty-third and Second Ohio were supporting Loomis's battery. The casualties were: Company B, killed, Charles Felters, John Vanderman; wounded, seriously, Company A, John Derush, Cyrus Dixson, John Hogan and A. J. Orin; Company C, George Barleon; Company B, Samuel Pullan. June 1 the regiment was still encamped near Murfreesboro, but remained only a short time longer, then took part in the campaign in and around the latter city.

In September, 1863, the Thirty-third took a prominent part in the terrible battle of Chickamauga, the most destructive to human life in the war. The regiment had been at Perryville, and they knew something of hard fighting, but the battle of Chickamauga seemed to make the fight at Perryville but child's play in comparison. The Thirty-third bore themselves in this sanguinary struggle as only brave men could or would where life and liberty were at stake. The brave Major E. J. Ellis was killed, a man who had led so many hard-fought contests, and with him fell many men of the gallant Thirty-third, in that memorable conflict. Now an advance and then a retreat, the hostile armies surging too and fro, as the tide of battle ebbed and flowed, and night alone put an end to the awful carnage of death. In this battle the Thirty-third suffered terribly, and below is found the list of dead, the wounded and the missing:

The last of the severe battles in which the Thirty-third took a part was that of Resaca, on the 14th and 15th of May, 1864. It had passed through other fields since the battle of Chattanooga and the storming of Lookout Mountain, and its ranks had been fearfully decimated. In this last struggle its killed were half as many as the wounded, showing a far greater mortality than is usual in the most sanguinary conflict of arms. Its loss was fifty- seven-nineteen killed and thirty-eight wounded. From this battle on they were in all that took place until the proclamation of peace, and came back few in number, worn and weary.

The killed and wounded at Resaca were: Lieutenant-Colonel J. H. Montgomery, slightly wounded. Company A.-Killed, Michael Shields and Francis M. Rhodes. Wounded, dangerously, Andrew J. Orin; severely, James Montgomery; slightly, James Welch. Company B.-Killed, Henry C. Bryan. Wounded, severely, Sergeant John H. H. Kelly. Company C.-Killed, Lieutenant E. J. Higby, Francis M.

It might be added here that at a skirmish at Brown's Ferry, Tenn., Corporal John Gillilan, Co. I, and Private Henry Price were killed and Elijah Conklin wounded. Upon their banner was inscribed Perryville, Chickamauga, Stone River, Chattanooga, Lookout Mountain and Resaca.

The call for 300,000 men July 2, 1862, caused the formation of this regiment July 19, 1862; its officers were commissioned, and the volunteers came from Adams, Pike, Jackson, Gallia, Lawrence and Scioto Counties. Its Colonel was John A. Turley, of Scioto County, and its Lieutenant-Colonel, B. F. Coates, of Adams County. A threatened raid on Ironton caused a call to be made on Camp Morrow for troops, and Colonel Turley responded with six companies of the Ninety-first regiment, marching to that point Aug. 26, 1862. This was the first experience of the regiment outside of camp life.

They returned and remained in camp for about one month when they were ordered to Virginia, and reaching there camped at Point Pleasant, Sept. 26, 1862. They marched against General Jenkins's rebel cavalry, skirmishing with them for four hours, drove them several miles, capturing several prisoners and considerable stores. Colonel Turley says of his men and officers, "that not a single officer or soldier of the Ninety-first Regiment faltered, and as this is a new regiment, never before under fire, I cannot refrain from saying they acted like veterans, and elicited my admiration.

"I returned to camp last night after having marched forty-five miles in thirty hours, skirmishing four hours of that time, without the loss of a man."

Thus they passed through their baptism of fire with true heroic courage, and came out with the stamp of veterans and the wreath of victory upon their brow. They were on duty at Gauley's Bridge, Nov. 10, 1862, and from there marched to Fayetteville, Va., reaching there in January, 1863. They were subsequently at Gauley's Bridge again, and at Fayette Court-House, in May, 1863. May 17 they were at the above bridge and had quite a battle with the rebel forces, and gave evidence of fighting qualities, which were not exceeded by any regiment in the war.

During the Virginia campaign, in the summer and fall of 1863, this regiment was constantly on duty, and the Ninety-first became known as the banner fighting regiment of their brigade. In the spring of 1864 it was in the Hunter's raid, and during this march and fighting for over a month Colonel J. A. Turley was severely wounded. This was in May, 1864. June 17, 1864, Colonel Turley was again severely wounded in leading a charge on the rebel works at Richmond, which compelled him to give up his command, being unfit for duty. He received an honorable discharge. The command now fell upon Lieutenant- Colonel B. F. Coates, and he led it heroically and gallantry during the remainder of the terrible struggle. In the memorable battle near Winchester, in July, 1864, the Ninety-first was conspicuous for its gallantry and daring, and suffered a heavy and severe loss. The following is its list of killed and wounded: Killed.-Company F, Johnson Young; Company H, Jonathan F. Hite, John R. Wilkins, John Steele, Daniel Short, David W. Slagle; Company K, Peter Pyles, John Lucas. Wounded.-Company A, A. Houlsworth, T. J. Daywalt, C. W. Jones; Company B, M. G. Blazer, C. Eno, Robert D. Neal; Company C, Second Lieutenant J. W. Rockhold, J. H. Culloms, George Bare, Laben Crabtree, J. Mucklewrath, J. Walls; Company E, F. D. Bayless, W. T. Knox, J. Haggerty, E. B. Schultz; Company F, John Ross, W. F. Gray, J. H. Parks, Isaac Speers, James Smith, W. M. Brown, B. F. Kizer, Mike Munion, John Monk, George Monk, Amaziah Morris, Charles Peach, John Rigely, F. F. Ransahouse, W. B. Savage, J. D. Laughlin; Company G, John Martinbee; Company H, Captain Simeon Crossley, Second Lieutenant Ed. S. Wilson, Eugene B. Willard, S. Brady Steece, John G. Lane, J. W. Haines, James W. Day, Allen Levisay, William Robinson, Abram Bruce, Jeremiah Bruce, Joseph S. Bice, Samuel Lane, John Levisay, Hiram Oliver, Andrew J. Peatt, John Percefield, John Taylor, George W. Willis, W. C. Washburn; Company I, G. W. Armstrong, E. M. Hughes, Robert Palmer; Company K, Henry Downey, Jacob Eckhart, John Freestone, James W. Miller.

The Ninety-first Regiment was sadly decimated by the war. It was in active service for about three years, and its record is one of which any regiment might be proud.

The Fifty-third Regiment was organized in the fall of 1861, by electing or appointing Jesse J. Appler, Colonel; Lieutenant-Colonel, Fuller, and Major, Smith Cox. When ready for service it was ordered to Paducah, Ky. It took part in several skirmishes, and found itself at Shiloh, in the memorable battle of the 6th and 7th of April. At that field of carnage, under the lead of Colonel Appler, being suddenly surrounded and attacked by a heavy force of Confederates, it broke, its men were badly scattered and their Colonel unable to get them together; 800, however, were gotten together after the panic, late in the day, and behaved in a manner that partially wiped out their previous disgrace. The next day they went into battle under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Fuller, and won the praise of General Hildebrand, commanding the Third Brigade of the Fifth Division in that bloody field. Afterward they were place in Wallace's division and were in camp early in May, near Corinth. They marched and countermarched in Tennessee and Northern Mississippi for the summer and fall campaign, and in March and April, 1863, were at Camp Morrow, about thirty-nine miles east of Memphis, on the Memphis & Charleston Railroad.

They had been in Memphis and then to LaGrange, and from the latter place went on an expedition into Mississippi, going through Holly Springs and on as far as Oxford, but their supplies being cut off, the whole command fell back to LaGrange, Tenn., and arrived there Jan. 12, 1863.

From Camp Morrow they were ordered to Vicksburg, and took part in the military operations which resulted in the capture of the noted Confederate stronghold. They were in the war of Vicksburg on the last of June, being of the land forces which prevented the escape of the garrison then surrounded. After the surrender of Vicksburg they were camped at Snyder's Bluff during the month of July, 1863. The regiment nobly kept up its reputation won on the second day of the bloody field of Shiloh during the summer and fall of 1863, and was in camp at Camp Dennison, Jan. 1, 1864. The year 1864 proved a fatal one for the gallant Fifty-third. They went to the front from the opening of the campaign, and when the year 1864 closed the decimated ranks told a sorrowful tale of duty, will and nobly performed.

The regiment was attached to the Second Division fo the Fifteenth Army Corps. It suffered quite severely in the battles of Resaca and Dallas, and its loss being: Major E. C. Dawes, severely wounded. Company A.-Wounded, Lycurgus Minkling, Thomas McDugall, severely; Henry Potter, William C. Dodds, John McMurry. Company B.- Wounded, Jasper H. Pickering, David Thomas, seriously. Company C.-Killed, James C. Nye, Wm. A. Ellison. Wounded, Jeremiah Ewing, slightly; Harvey Moore, slightly; Odal Moushang, slightly; William Mitchel, seriously. Company D.-Wounded, Henry H. Cook, Sergeant George Mosier, Wm. Tolbert, William Wallis, Bernard Canter, John O'Brian, James K. Henson, Wm. McGinnis, seriously. Company E.-Wounded, Wm. Hudson, slightly.

Company K.-Killed, Corporal Jacob Ross. Wounded, Wm. D. Gaby, slightly; John Chalmers, left shoulder.

They were ordered on a reconnaissance July 3, 1864, to feel the enemy at Nicajack Creek. The enemy was strongly entrenched, and in a charge in that hotly contested field the Fifty-third won renown, but at a terrible cost. The regiment was thinning out and wasting away before the rebel bullets. From the 13th of May to the close of the battle at Nicajack the Fifty-third lost 167 men, killed and wounded, within twenty days. Company A.-Wounded, Alexander Brown, shoulder and hand, severely; Wm. R. Sloner, leg, amputated; Wm. A. Dodds, foot, slightly. Company B.-Wounded, Corporal Henry Fensterwald, lost finger; James P. Crippen, head, slightly.

O'Donnel, arm, slightly; Corporal Enoch Owens, back, severely; Corporal William Lingham, left leg, slightly; John Welsh, left hand, slightly; Barny Carrigan, left shoulder, severely. Company D.-Wounded, Sergeant C. C. Welker, leg, severely; Corporal Charles Burges, thumb, slightly; Corporal William Oliver, shoulder and hip, severely; Archibald Smith, left foot, slightly; A. C.

Company F.-Killed, Aug. 18, Captain J. R. Percy. Wounded, Aug. 30, Alexander Dun, right leg, amputated; Aug. 31, Henry Simmerman, left jaw, severely; George W. Culp, chest, severely.

When the war ended, in May, 1865, there were but few men of this noble regiment left. Their bones were left bleaching upon Southern soil, and the few who returned brought with them many scars to tell of dangers passed through, and a record of deeds of noble daring.

Was the first organized as three months' men with Craft J. Right as Colonel and W. E. Gilmore as Lieutenant-Colonel. In this regiment Captain, afterward Colonel, Jesse J. Appler had a company of Scioto boys of which O. J. Wood was First Lieutenant. Some 300 Athens County men were in this three months' regiment. Lieutenant Wood afterward raised a company of 116 men, which was Company B, of Colonel Craft's command, and joined Fremont's forces. The company had the following officers: O. Wood, Captain; J. Collins, First Lieutenant; William H. Brady, Second Lieutenant; John W. Wallace, Orderly Sergeant; E. W. Thomas, First Sergeant; R. M. Taylor, Second Sergeant; A. J. Falkner, Third Sergeant; George W. Prince, Fourth Sergeant. E. Kesner, First Corporal; J. M. Lambert, Second Corporal; John Ruffner, Third Corporal; Jesse Jackson, Fourth Corporal; Isaac Farlin, Fifth Corporal; John E. Bennett, Sixth Corporal; D. F. Turner, Seventh Corporal; Russell Patton, Eighth Corporal; B. F. Jordon and W. L. Smith, Musicians.

From a Captain, Oliver Wood became a Major, and was acting in that position at the battle of Shiloh, from which field of carnage he sent the following list of losses in his company: Isaac Jackson, Charles W. Wood, Henry Valentine, John Blankenship and William H. Smith, killed. In this regiment Captain W. C. Appler had a company. The regiment was ordered to Kentucky and from there to Alabama, back again to Kentucky and finally brought up at Nashville, and was in camp at Silver Springs Camp, near that city, Nov. 15, 1862. Few regiments in the service did harder or more gallant service than the Twenty-second, and Colonel Wood, who became such in 1862, made a name that won him a high place in the regular army. In the winter of 1862-'63, he scouted successfully through Tennessee, always vigilant, always active. On Deer, Fork and Olive rivers, rebels were driven back, and he cleaned out all that section of Tennessee from rebel forces. He was in camp a short time at Trenton, Tenn., in February, 1863. It was a noted regiment during the war. April 11, 1864, the Colonel received a gold watch from the citizens of Portsmouth in honor of his gallant bearing and that of his noble regiment. It carried itself nobly to the end of the war, and among the noted regiments that left Ohio in defense of the Union none left a more glorious record of its valor, or will be longer remembered than the Veteran Twenty-second. In January, 1865, Colonel Wood was given a Colonel's commission in Hancock's corps.

This was the name by which the Thirty-nine Infantry was known. It has one company and part of another from Scioto County, and one company from Athens County. Captain Henry McDowell commanded the company of Scioto boys. Thirty recruits joined Aug. 18, 1861, under Sergeant McCrudy. They were camped at Camp Coleman, about ten miles north of Cincinnati, until fully organized. At that point Captain McDowell received five more recruits, two coming from Harrison and three from Madison townships, in August, 1861. The regiment went into camp in July. Aug.18, 1861, it left Camp Coleman for St. Louis, Mo., there to join General Fremont's forces. It was the first regiment from Ohio that trod the soil of Missouri. On arriving there, or a few weeks afterward, it was placed upon guard duty along the lines of railway and was not united again until February, 1862. It left St. Louis under marching orders Feb. 24, 1862, and reached New Madrid, March 3. They supported the heavy artillery or siege guns in the attack on that place, which was captured. At that time Captain McDowell had become Major of the regiment. Lieutenant Sontag of McDowell's company, resigned and came home after the battle of New Madrid. It was also at the capture of Island 10, and in this fight suffered some loss. It next went under General Halleck, in Tennessee, and in its many reconnoitering expeditions and in the siege of Corinth lost quite heavily. The regiment became somewhat noted for its courage and activity, and was ordered in November to join General Grant, under whom it was kept in pretty active service until its three years of service had expired, which was in December, 1864. Its severest loss as any one time during this campaign, except in repelling the attack of Hardee's corps, at Atlanta, Ga., was the battle of Nicajack's Creek, July 3, 1864. This loss was as follows:

Colonel Edward F. Noyes, wounded in left ankle; Company A.-Killed, Private Daniel Nye. Wounded, John Quirk, mortally. Company B.-Wounded, Corporal John Stewart, severely, through both shoulders; John Riley, through both hips; F. W. Ranger, right hand; Jacob Abendshen, through right shoulder.

Company D.-Wounded, Corporal Spencer Cooper, right hand; David Mann, left knee, amputated; James M. Andrews, right arm; Peter Graig, right shoulder; John W. Miller, right arm.

The regiment got thirty days' furlough and then 534 men re-enlisted for the war. They took the field in February, 1865. They were in the fights around Chattanooga, and then in the Atlanta campaign, and lost one-third of their men in the battle of July 22, 1864, before their term of service expired.

The regiment marched with Sherman to the sea, was a part of the army at the grand review at Washington, and was mustered out July 9, 1865. Few regiments of the war covered as extensive a field of operations as the Thirty-ninth. It gave to the veteran organizations more men than any other regiment from Ohio, and served under Pope, Howard, Logan, McPherson, Sherman and Grant, and its grand heroism was displayed at Atlanta, Chattanooga, Dallas, Kennesaw Mountain and Nicajack.

On the organization of this regiment, Captain Hurd, of Portsmouth, raised a company numbered Company F, and joined the command. The regiment was ordered to Bowling Green, Ky.; on March 5, 1862, it marched to Barron River and from there to Nashville, Tenn., camping two miles south of the city, and was assigned to General Nelson's brigade. It then marched south, and on to Shiloh, upon which field of blood it entered upon its first serious engagement of the war. The regiment lost sixteen killed and seventy wounded and missing. Company F lost as follows:

Killed, J. A. Miller, Second Lieutenant; Privates, John McGinnis and Plumb. Wounded, John Lanty, John Beannon, William Dutiel, Charles Drury, Solomon Blackburn, Benjamin Hoble, Captain J. H. Smith.

In this battle the Second Kentucky proved its courage and ability. On the reorganization of the regiment, Captain Hurd, of Company F, was promoted to a Major, and First Lieutenant Jesse C. Hurd commanded Company F.

The next serious battle in which the regiment was engaged was that of Murfreesboro. The battle took place Dec. 31, 1862, and the regiment lost heavily, being eighty-six in killed and wounded; Company F lost: Killed, Corporal Robert Horton. Wounded, Sergeant Samuel Crawford, slightly; Corporal Arthur Crawford, severely; Privates, Solomon Blackburn, severely; Lafayette Vanceyoc, severely; Thompson Hodges, severely; James Carleton, slightly; Callahan Beare, slightly. Missing, Corporal E. S. Owen. Sergeant Samuel Crawford was taken prisoner and sent to Vicksburg.

After the battle the regiment went south to Athens, Ala., and other points, and on a return march for Nashville, July 16, the cars left the track and killed one and wounded forty-six others of the regiment. Jan. 25, 1863, Major John R. Hurd was promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel, Lieutenant-Colonel Spencer resigning on account of ill health, and Captain A. T. M. Brown received the office of Major. It marched and skirmished the most of its term of service, and engaged in all the principal battles of the Southwest; was in the advance at the battle of Pittsburg Landing.

Battery L was organized and went into service under the command of Captain Newt Robinson. The Captain, however, resigned in January, 1863, before engaging in a serious battle. Frank E. Gibbs was then appointed to the command, and Battery L, under his leadership, earned honor and fame, the former in being placed in the post of honor wherever and whenever hard fighting was to be done. Port Republic fight was the only one under Captain Robinson. It was in the spring of 1863 ordered to the Rappahannock, then to join in the seven days' fight which took place at that point soon after. They joined the Division at Chancellorsville, were ordered back one mile and went into camp. On Sunday, April 3, 1863, they were ordered to the front in double-quick, and took position on a slight eminence, within 300 yards of an open space in front of them. The rebels drove the Federal forces to this opening, when the batteries opened on them and they were compelled to fall back. The rebel sharpshooters began their work and four men of Battery L were wounded: John Reed, George Bodine, Joseph Livery and Frank Jeaugunot, all severely. Then, in the next attack, Lieutenant F. Dorriss and Corporal Fred Koehler were killed and Cassius Edmund severely wounded. Battery L was in the fight of Sunday, Monday and Tuesday; total loss, two killed, four severely and four slightly wounded. The battery was handled in a manner to elicit praise from the General in command. After this battle they were sent to Bank's Ford. They left Bank's Ford, where they had done picket duty until June 13, when they went to Catlett's Station, thirty miles distant, on the Orange & Alexandria Railroad; from thence on to Manassas Junction, and from there to Germ Springs and Leesburg to Edward's Ferry. A short rest was given them and then on to Frederick City; then Hanover, Penn., to Gettysburg, arriving at the latter place July 1, 1863; July 2, they went into position at eight a. m. and at one o'clock the battle opened. At three o'clock the battery followed the Second Division of the Fifth Army Corps; they double-quicked and arrived on the field as the Third Army Corps were retreating, and the Second Division went into fight with Battery L as a support. Night closed the scene of ultimate advance and retreat. The Second fell back in the rear of their battery, and the guns had become so hot as to blister the hand, but the rebels failed to reach the battery, being met with a storm of grapeshot, which sent them reeling back. The battle of Gettysburg was fought July 2 and 3, 1864, and it was the last desperate move of the rebel forces. They were not defeated, exactly, for they laid on the field of battle, but it was conclusive of their inability to cope with the federal forces. In this fight Battery L lost Hazlotte, killed, and Harrison, Massie and Ash Kleine, wounded. The following October the battery was again engaged, and on the 19th Captain Frank Gibbs and several of his men were severely wounded. The battery proved itself worthy of the confidence placed in it by the General in command.

This regiment was organized in the fall of 1862, the company of Captain M. Coe, First Lieutenant Harry C. Doddridge being enrolled Aug. 20, 1862. Colonel Hawley had command and W. C. Appler became Quartermaster of the regiment. It was ordered to Kentucky, and went into camp at Camp Ashland, Nov. 30, 1862. About the first of January, 1863, they were placed on guard duty, principally on the line of the Kentucky Central Railroad. Three companies remained at Covington, or near there; three went to Cynthiana, and two to Paris. Up to April they were still scattered, some being at LaGrange, Tenn., some at Catlettsburg, Ky., and then at Paintsville, Ky., where they arrived in January, and were there on the 30th. The regiment left Kentucky on a steamer Feb. 14, arrived at Covington on the 18th, and remained there until May. The regiment was there changed from infantry to heavy artillery, to do only post duty. Captain A. B. Cole's company was one of the two companies which were from Scioto County. The regiment remained until the winter of 1863-'64. During the latter year they were kept at different points on duty, and in January, 1865, were guarding rebel prisoners at Nashville, Tenn. About this time Captain Cole resigned on account of ill health. The regiment had no opportunity to signalize their bravery in battle, but the duty assigned them there was promptly and cheerfully performed.

This regiment had a few Scioto boys in it. In Captain Wm. C. Henry's company, one David Murphy, a private, on account of his penmanship and ability as a writer, was promoted from the ranks to a First Lieutenant and Adjutant in the One Hundred and Eighty-fourth Regiment, and was given clerical duty during his term of service. He was from Nile Township. It was at Pulaski, Lynnville, and other places in Tennessee during the years 1863-'64, and East Port, Miss. It was in several battles and suffered pretty severely, and up to July 1, 1864, had lost the following, a portion being from Scioto County.

Company A.-Captain Wm. H. Hill, commanding. Wounded-Jesse Baird, slightly in the right arm; Wm. Adams, slightly in the hand; Eli Miller, slightly in shoulder; Aaron Circle, slightly in right hand; Sergeant R. K. Darling, slightly in lip. Company B-First Lieutenant G. W. Dixon, commanding.

Wise, slightly in left cheek, Sergeant T. N. Sellers, slightly in arm. Company K-Captain Chas. Lane, commanding. Killed-Benton Carr. Wounded-Sam'l Shafer, severely; Jas. Muchler, in thigh.

One company, A, was from Scioto County, Captain W. W. Reilley, and recruited in August, 1861. Officers:

W. W. Reilley, Captain; Thos. Hayes, First Lieutenant; Jerry Hall, Second Lieutenant; Henry McIntyre, First Sergeant; H. F. Wolf, Second Sergeant; F. James, Third Sergeant; George Day, Fourth Sergeant, Gil Wait, Fifth Sergeant; Walker Mustan, First Corporal; Jas. Warner, Second Corporal; S. E. Martin, Third Corporal; John H. Peck, Fourth Corporal; John Hey, Fifth Corporal; J. H. Sharky, Sixth Corporal; T. B. Gaston, Seventh Corporal; R. Nealous, Eighth Corporal.

It proved one of the best regiments from Ohio. They were in some of the severest battles of the war. Captain Reilley left the company and Captain Thos. Hayes succeeded to the command. At Kennesaw Mountains, Henry McIntyre, from Scioto County, was severely wounded, and at the battle of Culpeper Court-House, Va., H. Howard, E. Meyler and Corporal A. Wolf were killed. Their time expired Sept. 19, 1864.

It seemed impossible to get all the whereabouts of the Scioto boys. There were badly scattered, enlisting here and there as fancy dictated. It is not intended to give in this history of all the doings of the different regiments, but so much with their losses as will show to future generations the part Scioto took in the great struggle for the Union from 1861 to 1865. In our hunt the following scattering names were found here and there and they are given to finish the list of all that could possibly be found who left the county for the field of conflict. This chapter will be found to condense more of the war history of Scioto County then was ever placed together in one or many chapters.

The Twenty-seventh Regiment, O. V. I.-This regiment had one company partly made up from this county-Company G, under the command of Captain Frank Lynch. It was attached to the Army of the Southwest and was all through the Mississippi campaign. It met with a heavy loss at the battle of Corinth. Company G went into this battle with forty-two strong and met with a loss of sixteen, some being from this county: Killed-First Lieutenant Henry A. Webb; Private Samuel R. Turner. Wounded-Captain Frank Lynch; Second Lieutenant George W. Young; Sergeant J. H. Fullerton; Corporals, J. M. Stewart, Charles Statan, Privates, George W. Bruner, Cleanthus Burnett, J. W. Jenkins, Asa Radway, Orrin B. Gould, Philip R. Harpel, J. R. Thomas, A. J. McPheeson, Henry Wilson.

The First Ohio Regiment had one company made up from Portsmouth and Scioto County, Company G. This regiment stands in undimmed luster through all the trial of that desperate conflict.

The Fifth Virginia, commanded by Colonel Jno. L. Zeigler, had quite a number of Scioto's hardy sons in its ranks. They fought "Mit Siegel" in the Valley of Virginia; was at Strausburg and Leroy and also at the battle of Culpeper Court-House.

The Twentieth Battalion, of 100 day's men, the call being made April 23, 1864, took out nearly three companies from Scioto County. They were commanded by Captaind Reilley, Sontag and Barnes. They were badly scattered, some being put with Meigs County and others with Athens County. They had little experience outside of camp life.

The One Hundred and Seventy-third Regiment was formed principally of re-enlisted men who had served three years. It was commanded by the gallant Colonel of the old Second Kentucky, Jno. R. Hurd. Scioto County contributed sixty-three men to the regiment, which organized in September, 1864. It was ordered to Nashville, Tenn., and was in that city in October and November of 1864. The ladies of Gallipolis presented the regiment with a banner.

The Second Virginia, which performed active service in West Virginia and the valleys, was partly composed of Scioto volunteers.

The Thirty-first Ohio boasted of a company of Scioto boys sixty strong under Captain Soule. They joined Sept. 11, 1861.

The One Hundred and Fortieth, O. N. G., took out a few men from this county. They did duty in West Virginia, and at Bradford were detailed for provost duty.

The Fifth German Regiment was partly made up from Portsmouth, Captain Sontag raising a company. He afterward resigned.

The Eighteenth Ohio, a regiment that made a name for its fighting qualities, had Lieutenant Wm. M. Bolles in one of its companies. He was one of Scioto's heroes.

First Ohio Sharpshooters looked to Captain C. A. Bartons. They were all the name implies and right nobly did their gallant Captain lead them. They were mustered in May 28, 1861.

The Twenty-sixth Regiment, O. V. M., had one company recruited by Captain Appler and afterward by Captain L. D. Adair, the former resigning. This regiment and Company I, commanded by Captain Adair, suffered terribly at Chickamauga. It was commanded by Colonel Young.

Four citizens of Madison Township and six from Harrison joined Captain Baker's company, principally recruited at Athens, Ohio.
