(RETURN TO THE TITLE PAGE) THE PERIOD FROM 1840 TO 1861 - 75 be arrested and taken before a magistrate, when a warrant was issued, almost as a matter of form, and they were taken to tie State of the claimant. In the spring of 1841 three negroes, supposed to have escaped from New Orleans were found in Buffalo, whence they were kidnapped, brought to Cleveland, arrested under the old law of the United States, and thrown into jail. Edward Wade and John A. Foot, two of the few Abolitionists in the city, applied for admission to see them and were refused.. Thomas Bolton, (afterwards Judge Bolton,) a prominent lawyer, indignant at this violation of justice, made the same request, and, not being an Abolitionist, was at once admitted. He consulted with the negroes, and announced his intention of defending them. So strong was the feeling against anything that could be called Abolitionism that much indignation was expressed against Mr. Bolton in consequence, and there was even talk of tearing down his office. With undaunted firmness, however, he persisted in his course, showed up the iniquity of the proceedings in relation to the kidnapping, and procured the discharge of the negroes. The event had a great effect in breaking up the habit of sending of negroes without an investigation, and for twenty years no more slaves were taken back to the South from Cuyahoga county. On the 29th day of January, 1841, lots seventeen, eighteen and nineteen, in the southwest corner of the township of Russell, in Geauga county, were annexed to Orange, in this county; the object being to include the whole of the rising village of Chagrin Falls, which had previously been cut in two, almost in the center, by the county line. At the same time a strip ninety rods wide, lying along the north half of the east line of Orange, was annexed to Russell as a compensation for the former transfer. On the 11th of January, 1843, the strip just mentioned was reannexed to Orange, this being the last change in the much-distorted boundaries of Cuyahoga county. So heavy were the burdens caused by unwise speculation and financial disaster, and so eager were demagogues, then as now, to seek popularity by plundering the public creditor, that there was a strong feeling in the legislature of 1842 in favor of repudiating the debt of the State. Meanwhile an instalment of interest was coming due, and there was no money in the treasury to pay it with. Hon. Alfred Kelley, of Cleveland, who was then State fund-commissioner, went to New York and raised half a million dollars on his own security, to meet the payment. For several years after the great crash of 1837 the people of Cuyahoga county were willing to plod along very quietly; only striving that if possible they might recover from that tremendous shock. But about 1844 they began to talk about railroads again. In that year Hon. John Barr wrote a sketch of Cleveland and a description of its trade, for the National Review, published in New York. In 1845 Cleveland voted to loan its credit for two hundred thousand dollars, to aid in building a railroad to Cincinnati, and for one hundred thousand dollars to build one to Erie. The same year the charter of the Cleveland, Warren and Pittsburg road was revived; the directors being authorized to build it on the nearest and most practicable route from Cleveland to the Ohio river. The old, lapsed charter of the Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati project was also revived, and a new company was organized, with lIon. J. W. Allen, of Cleveland, as president, and Richard Hilliard, John M. Woolsey and H. B. Payne as the other Cleveland directors. The act reviving the charter contained a clause permitting the city of Cleveland to subscribe two million dollars to the stock of the company. This was promptly done, but private subscriptions were slow and few, and the prospects of the enterprise were not at all brilliant. In March, 1846, the Junction railroad company was incorporated,. with an imaginary capital of three million dollars, and authorized to build a road from the Cleveland to the west line of the State, on such route as might be chosen. About the same time the Toledo, Norwalk and Cleveland railroad company was incorporated, with authority to build a road from Toledo by Norwalk to connect with the Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati road in either Huron or Lorain county. In 1847, so dark was the prospect that it was almost determined to abandon the Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati road for a time. Its friends, however, made a desperate rally; H. B. Payne and It. Hilliard volunteering to work three months for its interest. The late Leonard-Case subscribed five hundred thousand dollars; sixty-five thousand dollars was obtained from other sources, and the friends of the road determined to stand by their colors. The next year a contract to build the road from Cleveland to Columbus was let to 'Lubeck, Stone and Witt; that being the largest contract which had then been made by any party or firm in the United States. The next year, 1848, an act was passed incorporating the Cleveland, Painesville and Ashtabula company to build a road from Cleveland to the Pennsylvania line, and in 1849 it was surveyed. Thus the county approaches the end of the first half of this century, with its inhabitants almost as excited as they were in the "flush times," though with a much more solid basis for their hopes. Four important railroads, intended to concentrate at Cleveland and to traverse all parts of the county, were in various stages of progress, but none were completed. This seems a proper time,, therefore, to take a glance at the county as it was before the days of railroads. These were the great days of steamboats on the water and of stage coaches on land. From the time the ice was out of the lake in the spring till the time it came back in the autumn there was hardly an hour in which two or three stately white steamers, with their trailing crests of smoke, were not to be seen 76 - GENERAL HISTORY OF CUYAHOGA COUNTY crossing the watery portion of Cuyahoga county. From the East to the West they went loaded with passengers. From the West to the East they carried some passengers and some freight— though the time of carrying large quantities of grain and other freight by steamboat had not yet come. Western produce was generally carried east in sloops, 'schooners and brigs, the white sails of which were to be seen swelling gracefully before the wind, as the deeply laden hulls ploughed through the waters of the county. Many of these steamers were of great size, and were fitted up with palatial magnificence. The following is a list of the principal ones which were on Lake Erie in 1850, with the tonnage, origin and fate of each, taken substantially from a pamphlet called Marine History of the Lake Ports, published at Detroit in 1877: " De Witt Clinton," of four hundred and ninety-. three tons; built at Huron in 1836; sunk at Dunkirk in 1851. "Illinois" (First), of seven hundred and fifty-five tons ; built at Detroit in 1837; lost on Lake Huron in 1868.

Griffith," five hundred and seven tons; built at Buffalo in 1845; burned on Lake Erie in 1850, with a loss of two hundred and fifty lives. " Albany," of six hundred and sixty-nine tons; built at Detroit in 1846; wrecked at Presq' Isle, Lake Huron, in 1853. " Hendrick Hudson," of seven hundred and fifty- nine tons; built at Black river in 1846; burned at Cleveland in 1860. " Louisiana," of nine hundred tons; built at Buffalo in 1846; wrecked at Port Burwell in 1854. "Saratoga," of eight hundred tons, built at Cleveland in 1846; wrecked at Port Burwell in 1854. " Canada," of eight hundred tons; built at Chippewa in 1846; lost on Lake Michigan in 1855. " Baltic," of eight hundred and twenty-five tons; built at Buffalo in 1847; made a barge in 1863. " Sultana," of eight hundred tons; built at Trenton in 1847; wrecked in 1858. "A. D. Patchin," of eight hundred and seventy tons; built at Trenton in 1847; wrecked at Skillagalee in 1850. " Baltimore," of five hundred tons; built at Monroe in 1847; wrecked at Sheboygan in 1855. " Diamond," of three hundred and thirty-six tons; built at Buffalo in 1847; broken up at Detroit in 1860. " Pacific," of five hundred tons; built at Newport in 1847; lost on Lake Michigan in 1867. " Ohio" (Second), of six hundred tons; built at Cleveland in 1847; dismantled at Erie in 1859. " Southerner," of five hundred tons; built at Trenton in 1847; wrecked on Lake Erie in 1863. "Arrow," of three hundred and fifty tons; built at Trenton in 1848; condemned in Green Bay in 1863. "Alabama," of six hundred tons; built at Detroit in 1848; sunk near Buffalo in 1854. " Franklin Moore," of three hundred tons; built at Newport in 1848; broken up in 1862. " J. D. Morton," of four hundred tons; built at Toledo in 1848; burned on St. Clair river in 1863. " Empire State," of seventeen hundred tons; built at St. Clair in 1848; made a dry dock at Buffalo in 1858. " Queen City," of a thousand tons; built at Buffalo in 1858; lost on Lake Huron in 1866. " Globe," of twelve hundred tons; built at Detroit in 1848; converted into a propeller. " Charter," of three hundred and fifty tons; built at Detroit in 1848; lost on Lake Erie in 1854. " John Hollister," of three hundred tons; built at Perrysburg in 1848; burned on Lake Erie; rebuilt, and lost on Lake Huron. " Atlantic," of eleven hundred tons; built at Newport in 1849; sunk at Long Point—a hundred and fifty lives lost. “ Mayflower," of thirteen hundred tons; built at Detroit in 1849; wrecked at Point an Pelee in 1854. " Keystone State," built at Buffalo in1849; sunk in Saginaw bay in 1861-thirty-three lives lost. We have included in the above list none of less than three hundred tons. Thus it will be seen that, aside from numerous smaller ones, there was in 1850 a fleet of thirty-nine steamers afloat on Lake Erie, ranging from those of three hundred tons up to the great leviathan " Empire State," of seventeen hundred tons. THE PERIOD FROM 1840 T- 1861 - 77 Gay times were those. The steamboat, in good weather, was as provocative of sociability as the stagecoach, and furnished a great deal more enjoyment. The lake steamer was devoid of the monotony of the ocean vessel, and a voyage of from two days to a week, through changing lakes, and rivers, and straits, with all the splendid accessories of the model lake steamer, by passengers excited with the hope f western fortunes, or joyous over their return to eastern homes, was an event long to be remembered on the calendar of pleasure. But there was another and much .darker side to the picture. Out of the thirty-nine steamers above mentioned, no less than thirty closed their career by being burned or wrecked. To be sure many of them sailed ten or fifteen years, and made hundreds of voyages before being lost, but the disaster, when it came, was sometimes appalling. The two hundred and fifty lives lost on the " G. P. Griffith," and the four hundred lost on the " Lady Elgin," furnished the most terrible but not the only examples of the dangers of lake navigation. We have called especial attention to the fleet afloat in 1850, because that was the most brilliant period of lake navigation, which began to decline soon after the completion of railroad communication between the East and the West; but there was a large number of steamers (not usually very large ones) which had gone out of service before that time, besides many, both large and splendid, which were put in commission at a later period. Among the most important of the latter were the "Arctic," of eight hundred and fifty-seven tons; the "Buckeye State," of twelve hundred and seventy-four tons; the "Northerner," of five hundred and fourteen torts; the " Minnesota," of seven hundred and forty- nine tons; the "Lady Elgin," of a thousand and thirty-seven tons; the " Iowa," of nine hundred and eighty-one tons; the " Cleveland," (second) of five hundred and seventy-four tons; the "Golden Gate," of seven hundred and seventy-one tons; the "'Traveler," of six hundred and three tons; the "Michigan," (second) of six hundred and forty-three tons; the “ Crescent City," of seventeen hundred and forty tons; the " Queen of the West," of eighteen hundred and forty-one tons; the "St. Lawrence," of eighteen hundred and forty-four tons; the "E. H. Collins," of nine hundred and fifty tons; the "Northern Indiana," of fourteen hundred and seventy tons; the " Southern Michigan," of fourteen hundred and seventy tons; the " Forester," of five hundred and four tons; the " Plymouth Rock." of nineteen hundred and ninety- one tons; the " Western World " of a thousand tons; the " North Star " of eleven hundred and six tons; the " Illinois " (second) of eight hundred and twenty-six tons; the " Planet " of eleven hundred and sixty-four tons; the " Western Metropolis " of eighteen hundred and sixty tons; the "City of Buffalo " of two thousand tons; the " City of Cleveland" of seven hundred and eighty-eight tons; the " Sea Bird" of six hundred and thirty-eight tons; the " Detroit" of eleven hundred and thirteen tons; the "Milwaukee" of eleven hundred and thirteen tons. This list includes the steamers of over five hundred tons put in commission before 1861. The large size of many of them does not contradict, but rather corroborates, our previous statement that steamboating began to decline soon after the completion of railroad communication between the East and West; for, of the very large ones, all which were not destroyed were dismantled, or changed into vessels of other descriptions, after only a few years' service. Propellers had come into use on the lakes as early as 1842, but for several years they made but little display in comparison with the magnificent side-wheel steamers. As the latter, however, were superseded by the railroads as carriers of passengers, the propellers came to the front as carriers of grain; taking the lead of the steamers in that occupation, and rivaling both the sail vessels and the railroad. Returning to the land part of Cuyahoga county in 1850, we find the people all alive with business and confident of future greatness. When the steamboats were not running, the stages on the lake shore road were loaded and doubly loaded with passengers; three, four, and even five coaches often passing over the route each way in a single day. The vehicles of the line running over the great turnpike through Brooklyn, Parma and Strongsville to Columbus were similarly crowded in both summer and winter, while those on other routes through the country were only less heavily loaded. The close of the last half of this century may be regarded as marking the distinction between the old and the new in this county. The wolves and the bears had already become extinct, and about this period the last of the deer disappeared before the advance of civilization. Certainly they did not wait to hear more than one or two shrieks of the locomotive. To an old pioneer, with a taste for hunting, Cuyahoga county with no deer in it must have seemed like a new and undesirable world. At this period, too, nearly the last of the log houses which had sheltered the pioneers gave way to the more comfortable frame residences of the farmers and the brick mansions of the thriving citizens. Twenty years before, in at least half of the townships, log houses had been the rule and framed ones the exception. The former had gradually bon given up, and in 1850 could only be found in some very secluded locality. In such places, even yet, one may now and then be seen, a striking memento of the pioneer days of sixty years ago. By the census of 1850, the population of the county was forty-eight thousand and ninety-nine, distributed as follows: Clcveland, 17,034; Bedford, 1,853; Brecksville, 1,116; Brooklyn, 6,375; Chagrin Falls, 1,250; Dover, 1,102; East Cleveland, 2,313; Euclid, 1,447; Independence, 1,485; Mayfield, 1,117; Middleburg, 1,490; Newburg, 1,542; Olmstead, 1,216; Orange, 78 - GENERAL HISTORY OF CUYAHOGA COUNTY 1,253; Solon, 1,034; Strongsville, 1,199; Warrensville, 1,410. On the very threshold of the second half of the century, Cuyahoga counts received the benefits, more or less, of railway communication; being one of the very first counties in the West to be invaded of the iron conqueror. On the 1st day of February, 1851, a train came through from Columbus over the Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati road, bearing the State authorities and the members of the -legislature, when of course a grand jollification was held. On the 22nd of the same month the road was formally opened for business. The Cleveland and Pittsburg road was completed forty miles the same month, taking it outside -the bounds of the county. The other enterprises before mentioned went forward as rapidly as could be expected. The Cleveland and Pittsburg road, and the Cleveland, Painesville and Ashtabula road (from Cleveland to Erie) were opened for through business in 1852. The Toledo, Norwalk and Cleveland railroad was completed in January, 1853; forming the last link in the chain of railways between Boston and Chicago. The Cleveland. Painesville and Ashtabula road was at first run in connection with the Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati road, but in 1855 its management was separated from that of the latter, and the former naturally fell into close relations with the other roads forming the great line along the lake shore communication from the East to the West. In the latter part of this decade a new communication was opened between Cuyahoga county and the outer world. It originated in a schooner called the " Dean," built by Quayle and Martin, of Cleveland, for C. J. Kershaw, of Chicago. It was loaded at the latter post and sent direct to Liverpool (by- way of the Welland canal and the St. Lawrence river) where this stranger from the Far West naturally created much surprise. It was sold there. The next year the barque " C. J. Kershaw " was constructed by the same builders, and sent to Liverpool by D. C. Pierce, loaded with staves and lumber; coming back with crockery and iron. Direct trade between Chicago and Liverpool soon failed, but in 1858 a fleet of no less than ten vessels was sent from Cleveland to Europe. It consisted of the " D. C. Pierce," sent to Liverpool by Pierce & Barney; the "Kershaw," "Chieftain" and " Black Hawk," sent to London by the same parties; the " R. II. Harmon," sent to Liverpool by T. P. Handy; the " D. W. Sexton," sent to London, and the "J. F. Warner" to Glasgow, both by Mr. Handy; the " II. E. Rowe," to Liverpool, by H. E. Howe; the " Correspondent," to Liverpool, by N. M. Standart; and the "Harvest," to Hamburg, by C. Reis. All were loaded with staves and lumber ; their total capacity being three thousand six hundred tons. The cargoes of all were sold to good advantage, and six and salt. Some of these vessels attracted especial attention when thrown among a lot of English ships which were wind-bound at Land's End. The latter were entirely unable to beat around the point, but the American vessels, by their superior sailing qualities, were able to run close to the wind, unload, reload, and sail on another voyage before one of the others could make its way around the " End." Direct trade with Europe promised to be an important part of the commerce of the country, but it was driven by the rebellion into English hands. In 1858 it was found that the brick court-house, built thirty years before, was entirely inadequate to the rising business of the county, and it was not thought desirable any longer to incumber the public square of Cleveland with county buildings. Accordingly, in that year, a substantial stone edifice, of two stories, was erected on ground on the north side of Rockwell street, facing the northwest corner of the square. The panic of 1857 had had a depressing influence upon Cuyahoga county, as upon the rest of the country, but it was so light in comparison with the financial earthquake of 1837 that old stagers did not consider it as a very serious matter, By 1860 all business interests were in the way of rapid recovery. By the census of that year the population of the county was seventy-seven thousand two hundred and six, of whom forty-three thousand four hundred and seventeen were in the city of Cleveland, while the remainder occupied the various townships in the following numbers: Bedford, 1,098; Brecksville, 1,024; Brooklyn, 5,358; Chagrin Falls, 1,479; Dover, 1.284; East Cleveland, 3,011; Euclid, 1,769; Independence, 1,663; Mayfield, 1,079; Middleburg, 2,592; Newburg, 2,810; Olmstead, 1,410; Orange, 1,095; Parma, 1,480; Rockport, 1,793; Royalton, 1,297; Solon, 1,009; Strongsville, 958; Warrensville, 1,554. Among the events of the year the most interesting was the celebration of the anniversary of Perry's victory, and the erection of a monument to that hero. The idea originated with Hon. Harvey Rice, who introduced a series of resolutions to that effect in June, 185'7, into the City Council of Cleveland, which unanimously adopted them. A committee of five members of the Council was authorized to contract for the erection of the monument, and to solicit subscriptions to meet the expense; it consisted of Harvey Rice, chairman; O. M. Oviatt, J. M. Coffinberry, J. Kirkpatrick, and C. D. Williams. In the autumn the committee contracted with T. Jones and Sons, proprietors of marble works at Cleveland, who agreed to provide all materials and erect a monument surmounted with a statue of Perry, in the best style of the sculptor's art, subject to the approval of the committee, in time for the celebration on the tenth of September, 1860. The price was to be six thousand dollars, if so much could be obtained by THE PERIOD FROM 1840 TO 1861 - 79 subscription from the citizens of Cleveland, as to which the contractors took all the risk. After corresponding with various artists, Messrs. Jones and Sons procured the services of Mr. William Walcutt as the sculptor of the statue. A block of rough Carrara marble was imported from Italy, and the entire work of shaping the statue was performed in the studio of Messrs. Jones and Sons at Cleveland. On account of the increased cost of the monument, as filially approved, the contract price was increased to eight thousand dollars—always provided it could be obtained by subscription. The work went forward, and in the forepart of 1860 the council sent out a larger number of invitations to the approaching fete. These included the son, daughter and other relatives of Commodore Perry; all the survivors of the battle, the governor, State officers, etc., of Ohio, the governor, State officers and legislature of Rhode Island (the State of ferry's residence), and numerous distinguished individuals throughout the country. It was determined to locate the monument in the center of the public square, at Cleveland. The celebration was fixed for Monday, the 10th of September, 1860. On Saturday, the 8th, Governor Sprague, of Rhode Island, with his staff, the State officers and many members of the legislature of that State, and the Providence Light Infantry, arrived at Cleveland; being received with a speech of welcome by Governor Dennison, of Ohio, who was already in the city. Immense crowds of people also came by all the railroads, so as to be ready for the celebration on Monday. Thousands upon thousands also came by teams on Saturday and Sunday, from all the country around. During Monday forenoon every railroad brought an almost continuous succession of trains; all the cars being loaded with people, inside and out. After careful computation it was estimated by cautious and experienced men that at least one hundred thousand visitors were in the city during the afternoon of Monday. The procession was of great length; General J. W. Fitch being marshal of the day. It was headed by eighteen companies of uniformed militia, of which the following were of this county: Cleveland Light Artillery regiment, under Colonel James Barnett and Lieutenant Colonel S. B. Sturges, consisting of companies A, B, I) and E, commanded respectively by Captains Simmons, Mack, Rice and Heckman; the Brooklyn Light Artillery under Captain Pelton; the Cleveland Light Dragoons, under Captain Haltnorth; the Cleveland Grays, under Captain Paddook; the Cleveland Light Guards, under Captain Sanford. The military was followed by Goys. Dennison and Sprague and their staffs ; the guests from Rhode Island; the mayor and common council of Cleveland; Messrs. Jones and Sons, contractors ; officers and soldiers of the war of 1812; survivors of the battle of Lake Erie; descendants and relatives of Commodore Perry; William Walcutt, the sculptor; George Bancroft and Dr. Usher Parsons (surgeon in the battle,) orators of the day; and the judges and clergy of the vicinity. Following these came a very large unruher of the Masons of northern Ohio and neighboring States, marshaled by their respective officers; the Independent Order of Odd Fellows; and a long array of citizens and strangers. Among the distinguished persons present, besides those already named, were Oliver hazard Perry, the son of the Commodore; Rev. Dr. G. B. Perry, a relative of the commodore, and chaplain of the day; Commodore Stephen Champlin, a cousin of Perry, and commander of the " Scorpion " in the battle; and Capt. Thomas Brownell, pilot of the " Ariel." The monument and statue had been set up in the public square, which since that time, and in honor of the occasion, has been called Monumental Park.* The services were held there; the statue being unveiled by the sculptor. The pedestal is of Rhode Island granite, twelve feet high, while the statue, of Italian marble, is eight feet two inches in light. Of course it faces the lake which was the scene of the great victory. On the lake front of the monument is a representation, in alto relievo, of the celebrated scene when the hero passed amid a shower of bullets- from the deck of the stricken " Lawrence" to that of the " Niagara." The statue itself is very spirited in design and execution, and, while we do not feel competent to speak of those technical points which a sculptor would observe, yet we can truly say that not only was it highly satisfactory to those who knew the commodore, as a piece of life-like portraiture, but it is in exact harmony with all American traditions regarding the brave, handsome, dashing, high-spirited victor of the battle of Lake Erie. Since the celebration two smaller figures by the same artist, a "Sailor Boy" and a "Midshipman," have been placed on the monument, on either side of the chieftain. George Bancroft, the distinguished historian, delivered the principal address, and Dr. Usher Parsons narrated the events of the battle, as they came under his observation. The proceedings at the square were closed by the impressive ceremonies of the Masonic order. One of the most interesting events of the day, to the people at large, was the mock battle on the lake, which followed the ceremonies at the square, in which the two fleets which had met in deadly combat forty- seven years before, were faithfully reproduced by vessels of similar size, and in which, after a furious cannonade and the representation of the principal incidents of the real combat, the British ships, one after the other, struck their colors to the victorious Americans. The following day the military companies present held a grand parade, and were reviewed by Governors * As most of our readers are probably aware, the monument has been moved during the present season to a point nearer the southeast corner of the park. 80 - GENERAL HISTORY OF CUYAHOGA COUNTY Dennison and Sprague. This closed by far the greatest and most interesting celebration that Cuyahoga county had ever seen. We have described it at considerable length, for it was not only a brilliant event of itself but it was the most striking occurrence in this county, during the last year of peace. The patriotic memories of the past were insufficient to restrain the madness of the of the slave-propagandists, and when next the streets of Cleveland resounded with the tread of hurrying crowds, there was no mock battle in prospect. The political campaign, which was in progress when the great celebration took place, resulted, as is well known, in the triumph of the Republican party, and the election of Abraham Lincoln to the presidency. It is needless here to recount at length how this manifestation of the people's will was made an excuse for rebellion by the slave-holders of the South; how State after State abandoned its allegiance, and how the coming of spring found a Southern Confederacy already organized and armed, in defiance of the authority of the republic for which Perry fought. Here, as elsewhere throughout the North, men looked on in amazement at this disloyal madness, and it was not until the blow actually fell upon the walls of Sumter that they could bring themselves to believe in the reality of such senseless infamy.

ON the 14th of April, 1861, the storm burst. The Cleveland papers of the next morning contained a full account of the assault upon Sumter. As the Highlanders of three centuries ago sprang to arms when the fiery cross was sent among them by their chieftains, thus, and almost as swiftly, responded the men of the North when the daily newspapers told the story of their country's danger. The sons of Cuyahoga county were ready with the foremost. From the stores and offices of the city, from the shops of the villages, from the farms of the country, they came forward to do battle for the integrity of the nation. The Cleveland Grays and Company D of the Cleveland Light Artillery were two of the very first companies to take the field for three months, to give an opportunity for the organization of a permanent force. On the 22d of April Camp Taylor was established at Cleveland by the governor, and made the rendezvous of the volunteers from northern Ohio. By the 27th of the same mouth several thousand men were in camp, coming from nearly all the counties of the section named. Cuyahoga county furnished three companies, and parts of several others, who became members of the Seventh infantry. In order to give even an idea of the services of the soldiers of Cuyahoga county during the war, we find it necessary to furnish a separate sketch of each regiment and battery in which it were represented. As Cuyahoga had soldiers in no less than sixty-two regiments of infantry and cavalry, and seventeen batteries of artillery, many of these sketches must of necessity be exceedingly brief. Their size is made proportionate, so far as possible, to the number of men from this county in each organization, and to the amount of service rendered. Each sketch of a regiment or battery is followed by a list of the soldiers serving in it who were residents of this county at the time of the war, with a statement of their respective enlistments, promotions, discharges, .etc. These have been compiled with great care from the records in the adjutant-general's office at Columbus, and are perfect transcripts from them. It is possible that there may be defects in the rolls in the adjutant-general's office, either from the soldier's giving the wrong residence, or from accidental causes, but this we cannot avoid. So far as the historical sketches are concerned, we have depended largely on Reid's " Ohio in the War," the correctness of which we find to be endorsed by all the Ohio soldiers who have examined it and whom we have talked with on the subject. In regard, however, to those regiments which are largely represented from this county, we have taken pains to consult with surviving members and obtain front them an account, not only of the principal services of each command, but of some of the numerous incidents which lend variety to the story of life in the field. When regimental or battery histories have been published, these have been the principal sources of information. These historical sketches, each with its accompanying list of soldiers from Cuyahoga county, follow immediately after this chapter; being arranged-according to the regimental or battery number in, successively, the infantry, cavalry and artillery arms of the service. The people warmly sustained the efforts of their gallant soldiers, and the ladies were especially zealous in doing so. On the 20th of April, five days after the President's first call for troops, the ladies of Cleveland assembled for the purpose of offering whatever aid they could give, though as to what it would be they, like every one else, were profoundly ignorant. For a few days the more active scraped lint and made bandages, and made " raids " on the people to obtain blankets for new volunteers, as yet unprovided with those necessary articles. In a short time the Ladies' Aid Society of Cleveland was permanently organized. As this soon be- DURING AND SINCE THE WAR - 81 came the head of the various movements in northern Ohio in aid of the soldiers, and in six or seven months assumed the name`- of the Soldiers' Aid Society of Northern Ohio, it should properly be considered as an' institution of a general character, and some of its acts should be narrated in the general history of the county. The first permanent officers were Mrs. B. Rouse, president; Mrs. John Shelley and Mrs. Wm. Melheich, vice presidents; Mary Clark Brayton, secretary; and Ellen F. Terry, treasurer. In the sprng of 1863, Mrs. Lewis Burton became vice president; Mrs. Shelley having removed from the county. The secretary and treasurer served faithfully throughout the war, and have since published a handsome and interesting book on the workings of the society, entitled " Our Acre and its Harvest," from which we have derived the items given here. The leaders of the Cleveland society speedily invited the co-operation of the smaller places, sending out an immense number of circulars to clergymen, prominent citizens, ladies, etc. Numerous societies were soon organized in nearly all the townships of this county and the adjoining counties; some being started independently and some on account of the suggestions of the Cleveland organization, but almost all being soon drawn into affiliation with it; being convinced that they could best attain their object by acting in subordination to it. In September, 1861, Dr. J. S. Newberry, of Cleveland, was made secretary of the Western department of the United States Sanitary Commission, and thenceforth had general supervision of the affairs of that association in the valley of the Mississippi. In the following month the Cleveland Aid Society was made a corresponding branch of the United States Sanitary Commission. On the 30th of November, 1861, its name was changed to the Soldiers' Aid Society of Northern Ohio, as already mentioned. Thenceforth its acts and fame were national rather than local. Its benevolence was not even bounded by State lines, but extended to all who wore the Union blue. At the time of the change of name just noted, the society was receiving contributions from two hundred and forty-three towns of northern Ohio, of which a hundred and twenty had branch organizations. Finding that steady contributions were necessary, rather than spasmodic efforts, the Aid Society prevailed on a large number of citizens to make pledges of small, regular amounts weekly, on which the officers could rely to supply increasing needs. After the capture of Fort Donelson, a thousand sets of hospital clothing and a hundred and sixty boxes of supplies were sent forward. But it was after. the battle of Pittsburg Landing that the greatest excitement prevailed. Nearly every regiment from the Western Reserve was present, hundreds of men from Cuyahoga county were among the killed and wounded, and the whole community felt the shock. Thousands of contributions of every description flowed in upon the ladies of the society, by whom they were forwarded to the suffering soldiers. By the first of July, 1862, there were three hundred and twenty-five societies organized as branches of the Soldiers' Aid Society of Northern Ohio. These associations collected funds and supplies in their own way, receiving suggestions from the Northern Ohio Society as to what was best to be done. The supplies were then forwarded to the latter association which sent them to whatever points they were most needed. The officers of the Northern Ohio Society refused to receive money from any of the subordinate organizations; thinking it better that it should be invested in material, prepared for use by the members of the various associations at home, and then forwarded by means of the facilities which the Northern Ohio Society could furnish. There were tributary to it at this period, and during the latter part of the wasr, nearly all the societies in the counties of Trumbull, Ashtabula, Mahoning, Columbiana, Carroll, Stark, Tusacarawas, Portage, Geauga, Lake, Summit, Wayne, Holmes, Ashland, Lorain, Huron, Erie, Medina and Cuyahoga; besides a small part of Northwestern Pennsylvania. A list of contributions was published weekly in the Cleveland Herald. The ladies also availed themselves of the offer made by Mr. Edwin Cowles of the use of two columns weekly of the Cleveland Leader, for such use as they might find necessary. It will be remembered that the society was not only a sort of general agency for all northern Ohio, but was also the direct agent for all Cleveland contributions. It were impossible to tell the story of a hundredth part of the services performed by it; of delicacies of all kinds sent to the wounded and the sick; of clothing and bed furniture supplied to hospitals; of friends furnished with information; these and hundreds of similar services were performed day after day, month after month, year after year, from the beginning to the end of the war, for soldiers of every State from Maine to Kansas; alike for the stalwart heroes of Minnesota and the persecuted Unionists of Tennessee. In the winter of 1862-3 the society had over four hundred branches. Yet money and contributions then came in slowly, for taxes were heavy, prices of all kinds were high, and the exertions of the last two years had told seriously on the resources of the people.' It was aided by lectures by the celebrated Elihu Burritt, and by the scarcely less celebrated Artemus Ward (whilom a resident of Cleveland under the name of Charles F. Brown), and ere long it received a gift of ten thousand dollars, part of a large donation from California. This seemed then like a very large amount, being accepted only in instalments, and previous efforts to secure a permanent supply being steadily continued. At this time there was a cry for more vegetables, on the ground that scurvy was appearing in the army. The Northern Ohio Society promptly forwarded large quantities of potatoes and onions, and at the 82 - GENERAL HISTORY OF CUYAHOGA COUNTY same time endeavored to enlist the people within its influence in providing for a permanent supply of those and similar articles. Many farmers set aside a "soldier's acre" for this purpose in the spring, and even the children parodied the " Union leagues " of the day with " Onion leagues," which cultivated beds of that useful vegetable for the benefit of the nation's defenders. In February, 1864, the Northern Ohio Sanitary Fair was organized under the management of the association; an immense frame structure being built in the center of Monumental Park, at Cleveland, over Perry's statue, at a cost of ten thousand dollars. As this was half as much as the gross receipts of any sanitary fair yet organized, it was deemed a very hazardous expenditure. The fair was inaugurated on the twenty-second of February, and after a most brilliant display and numerous successful entertainments it was found that the gross receipts were a trifle over a hundred thousand dollars, while the expenses were but about twenty-one thousand dollars. The substantial surplus thus acquired enabled the ladies of the association to extend their operations, and to supply a much larger number of sick and wounded soldiers than before with comforts and delicacies, which in some degree mitigated their sufferings. The labors of the association were continued to the end of the war, and even after its close thousands of invalid soldiers received its aid, while the families of the dead were assisted in the procurement of pensions, and in numerous other ways. We have spoken at some length (considering the many subjects requiring mention in such a book as this) of the association and its work; for during those fateful years it was really one of the great institutions of Cuyahoga county, and was also a faithful exponent of the feelings of the people. Nearly all the quotas called for from the county were filled by volunteering. A draft was ordered, however, in September, 1862, to fill some vacancies, and at one time serious trouble seemed imminent. A mob of five hundred or six hundred persons, armed with clubs, pistols, etc., surrounded the office of Hon. Harvey Rice, commissioner of the draft, on account of imaginary unfairness in its management. Meeting them firmly, he sent to Camp Cleveland, on Woodland nights, for military aid. Shields' Nineteenth battery, just organized, was there, awaiting orders to go to the front. They were armed with venerable Austrian muskets, and with an old six-pounder used to fire salutes with. They came hastily down; their muskets being loaded with ball cartridge, and their solitary cannon half filled with a miscellaneous assortmcnt of nails, scrap iron, bullets and other death-dealing missiles. When the mob made some extra violent demonstrations, the command, acting as infantry, charged bayonet and drove them from the square, but, fortunately for both parties, was not called on to fire the miscellaneous load out of the cannon. Mr. Rice then permitted the people to send in a committee to examine the operations of the office, who found that every thing was conducted with the utmost fairness. This was the only serious attempt at rioting, or opposition to the law, made during the war, in Cuyahoga county. Besides the numerous organizations mentioned in the following chapters, when the State was threatened with invasion by Bragg in 1862, and a large number of " squirrel hunters" were called on to help defend it, a company marched to the front, from Berea and vioinity, armed with their "squirrel rifles," and ready to aid in repelling the enemy if necessary. They were not called on to do so, however, and some returned home. It was not strange that Cuyahoga county manifested so much energy and zeal in the Union cause; for two of the war governors of Ohio resided wholly or partially within its limits. Hon. David Tod, who was elected governor by the Union Republican party in the autumn of 1861, taking his seat on the 1st of January following, had a residence at Cleveland, and also one outside of the county. Hon. John Brough, the leonine statesman who was elected by the Republicans over Vallandigham in the autumn of 1863 by a hundred thousand majority, was also a resident of Cleveland, and president of the Bellefontaine railroad company. In the spring of 1864 he consulted with other western governors and proposed that they call out a hundred thousand men for a hundred days, to guard posts and otherwise aid in achieving success in the campaign of that year. All agreed, as did the war department at Washington. The latter telegraphed for thirty thousand Ohio militia in ten days. Thirty-eight thousand responded within the time. . This sturdiest of Unionists and most energetic of governors died in the office he had done so much to dignify and make useful. During the war business was active, on account of the great increase of paper money in volume and depreciation in value; yet there were few permanent improvements made; both because people's minds were absorbed in the war, and because they were unwilling in the disturbed state of the finances to make large government investments. The principal public enterprise which was carried out at this period in northern Ohio was the Atlantic and Great Western railroad, which was built principally with foreign capital. In 1863, it leased the Cleveland and Mahoning railroad for ninety-nine years, and immediately supplied it with an extra track; so it could be used for broad or narrow gauge cars. It has been employed especially for the transportation of coal from the beds of Mahoning county, immense amounts of which have been brought to Cleveland, the manufactories of which have been greatly stimulated thereby. On the close of the war the soldiers of Cuyahoga county, like those of the rest of the Union, at once' put off their military habits and resumed the avocations of civil life. Less than six months saw the transformation complete, and all the energy lately FIRST AND FIFTH INFANTRY - 83 given to the arts of destruction employed in those of construction. But the latter, though more pleasant, and in the long run more important, than the former, do not by any means make so brilliant a mark on the page of history. The current of events flows broadly, swiftly and beneficently onward in peace, but it is the rapids and cataracts of war which strike the eye. In 1869, Professor Newberry, before mentioned in connection with the Sanitary Commission, was appointed chief geologist of the State of Ohio. As such, with a corps of assistants, he made an exhaustive geological survey of the State, embodied in several valuable volumes. By the census of 1870 the population of the county, notwithstanding the war, had reached the number of one hundred and thirty-two thousand nine hundred and three. Of these ninety-two thousand eight hundred and twenty-eight were in Cleveland, while the remainder were to be found in the respective townships as follows: Bedford, 1,788 ; Brecksville, 1,007 ; Brooklyn, 3,712 ; Chagrin Falls, 1,321 ; Dover, 1,145 ; East Cleveland, 5,044; Euclid, 2,188; Independence, 1,761 ; Mayfield, 892 ; Middleburg, 3,662; Newburg, 6,227; Olmstead, 1,570; Orange, 1,802; Parma, 1,432; Rockport, 2,001;. Royaton, 1,089; Solon, 899; Strongsville, 896; Warrensville, 1,426. It will be seen that, while the agricultural township had increased very little, and some of them had decreased, since the previous census, the population of Cleveland had more than doubled, besides the large number who had located in the adjoining towns, so as to become in fact suburban residents of the city. In 1873 the same causes, inflation and speculation, which had brought about the financial crash of 1837, produced another, far less violent than the one mentioned but more injurious than that which occurred in 1857. Business and improvements of all kinds received a severe check, five years saw but slight progress, and it is only during the present season that a decided change for the better has been observed. In 1875 the fourth court-house of Cuyahoga county was begun, and so far completed in 1876 as to be used by the courts and for other public purposes. The court-house erected in 1858 is also still in use. It is somewhat difficult to describe the new one; for one hardly knows whether to gin its dimensions and appearance as it is, or as it is to be. Probably the former is the safer method, with a brief referenoe to what it- may be. The present building, then, is of stone, and fronts on Seneca street, extending back nearly to the courthouse of 1858. Its width is seventy-five feet and its depth ninety-two feet. There is a high basement story, occupied by some of the county officers and for other purposes. On the first story above this is a wide hall, with the rooms of the probate judge and sheriff on either side. On the second floor is the criminal court room, sixty-eight feet long, sixty feet wide and thirty-five feet high, and very elaborately finished. On the third, or Mansard, floor are rooms for the use of juries and for other purposes. The proposed north wing is to be thirty-four feet front and eighty-four feet deep. The south wing is to be forty-nine feet front and eighty four feet deep, and it is expected that in due time it will. be surmounted by a tower a hundred and twenty feet high. The wings, when completed, are to be occupied by the various courts and county officers who are now located in the building of 1858. A very large and strong jail was also built in 1875, on the same ground (north of the court house), formerly occupied by the jail of 1851, which was removed to give place to its successor. The new jail, very substantially built of stone, has three departments, respectively for men, women and boys. The men's department is sixty feet wide by a hundred and thirty feet long, with one hundred and twenty cells. The boys' department is twenty feet by twenty-four, with sixteen cells. The women's department is in the same building as the sheriff's residence, and likewise has sixteen cells. The whole building last mentioned is ninety feet by thirty-seven, and three stories high. Notwithstanding the financial closeness since 1873, numerous local improvements have been made throughout the county, which are noticed under their appropriate heads. We now close the consecutive record of Cuyahoga county for the purpose of presenting our readers with sketches of various organizations pertaining to it, beginning with the regiments and batteries representing that county in the war for the Union.

FIRST INFANTRY. The First Infantry was organized in April, 1861, in response to the President's first call for troops. The Cleveland Grays, an old and highly esteemed militia organization, formed one of its companies, under Captain T. S. Paddock, and Lieutenants Jeremiah Ellsworth and J. B. Hampson. So prompt was the answer to the call that within sixty hours afterwards the regiment was on its way to the capital. It was attached to General Schenck's brigade and was en route to Vienna when its first engagement with the enemy was bad. The rebels fired into the train, when the First quickly formed on the side of the 84 - GENERAL HISTORY OF CUYAHOGA COUNTY track, followed by the other regiments, and made so effective a resistance as to be enabled to retire with but small loss. In the battle of Bull Run the regiment took no active part, but rendered excellent service in guarding the retreat. In August, 1861, the reorganization of the regiment for three years' service was begun, but not completed until October. Company D was largely from Cuyahoga county, as well as a few men from companies F, G and I. In November the regiment was made a part of the Fourth Brigade of the Second Division, under General McCook. From December 17th, 1861, until February 14th, 1862, it remained in camp at Green River, Kentucky. On the 17th the brigade marched to Nashville; arriving five miles out on Franklin Turnpike it went into camp. On the 31st it crossed Duck river and moved toward Savannah. On the morning of April 6th the march was resumed, Savannah reached at half past seven p.m., and Pittsburg Landing at daylight the next morning. At six a.m., the First moved to the front and formed in line of battle. After fighting until noon, repeatedly charging the enemy and recapturing General Sherman's headquarters, the regiment retired to procure ammunition. This being obtained, it again advanced and participated in the general charge on the enemy's front. The First was then sent to assist Colonel Gibson's command; arriving just in time to repel a vigorous attack. In this battle the regiment was commanded by Colonel B. F. Smith, and lost sixty officers and men. On May 27th six companies of the First, under Major Bassett Langdon, had a sharp fight at Bridge Creek. At Huntsville they took the cars and reached Boiling Fork, a tributary of the Elk river, July 1st. On the 28th the regiment moved to Altamont, and September 1st to Nashville, passing through Manchester, Murfreesboro and Lavergne. At Dog-walk, on the 9th of October, the First took part in the battle, and lost several men. On the 11th it joined General Buell's forces at Perryville. On December 31st the battle of Stone river commenced. The First was stationed on the right of it W. Johnson's division. A half hour's brisk skirmishing followed, and the enemy was promptly checked. A heavy force appeared and made an attack on the First, compelling it to fall back. In doing this, much confusion occurred and the whole right wing was forced back. At the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad re-enforcements arrived, and the enemy was driven back. After many hard marches and a number of sharp skirmishes, the regiment reached Stevenson, Alabama, August 30th, 1863, to take part in the Chickamauga campaign. On the 19th of September it reported to General Thomas, and was placed in the front line under heavy tiring. A charge was made on the enemy, General Baird's position retaken and several pieces of artillery captured. A most terrific fight ensued in the darkness, and the First was compelled to change position. In doing this they fell back about one hundred and fifty yards. The enemy soon retired and the battle ceased for the night. The next afternoon the First and the Louisville Legion charged and put to rout a body of the enemy, but at length shared in the general disaster which befell the army. The regiment lost in this fight one hundred and twenty men. On the 20th of October the First formed a part of the force that surprised and captured the ridge between Lookout valley and Racoon mountain. On November 23d the regiment engaged in the battle of Orchard Knob, and on the 25th rendered noble service at the capture of Mission ridge. The entire loss of the Seventh during this battle was five officers and seventy-eight men, killed and wounded. On January 17th, 1864, during the East Tennessee campaign, the regiment had a brisk engagement at Strawberry Plains, losing some men. On the Atlanta campaign, May 10th, 1864, at Buzzard's Roost, several were wounded and three killed. May 14th, at Resaca, Georgia, two were killed and sixteen wounded, and the next day four were killed and twelve wounded. At Adairsville the regiment had a sharp skirmish; losing two killed and two wounded. At Burnt Hickory, May 27th, eight men and two officers were killed and seventy-one men wounded. June 17th, at Kenesaw, eight men were wounded. At the crossing of Chattahoochie river two men were killed. During its term of service the First was engaged in twenty-four battles and skirmishes, and had five hundred and twenty-seven officers and men killed and wounded. The last man of the regiment was mustered out October 14th, 1864. MEMBERS FROM CUYAHOGA COUNTY. FIELD AND STAFF. Edward J.

The principal connection of this regiment with Cuyahoga county arises from the fact that thirty men of the Seventh Infantry, residents of that county, were transferred to the Fifth from the Seventh Infantry, when the latter was mustered out of service; the terms of those men not having expired. Although the Seventh was mustered out in June, 1864, the transfer was not consummated until October. With the Fifth they marched with Sherman on this grand campaign to the Sea, accompanied him through the Carolinas, and took part ill the great review at Washington. Thence the regiment was sent to Louisville, Kentucky, where it was mustered out of service on the 26th day of July, 1865. MEMBERS FROM CUYAHOGA COUNTY. COMPANY G.

L, Wood's "Seventh Regiment." 86 - GENERAL HISTORY OF CUYAHOGA COUNTY from Cuyahoga county, and the remainder from other counties of the Western Reserve. It soon went to Camp Dennison, near Cincinnati. On the 11th of May. the regiment elected E. B. Tyler, of Ravenna, as colonel; W. R. Creighton, of Cleveland, as lieutenant-colonel; and J. S Casement, of Painesville, as major. Three days later, on the three years call being submitted to the men, about three-fourths enlisted for that term. The others were discharged, recruiting officers were sent home, and on the 19th and 20th of June the Seventh Ohio Infantry, with full ranks, was mustered into the service for three years. Companies A, B and K were principally from Cuyahoga county; Company A, during the war, having a hundred and fifty-four men from that county; Company B, eighty-four men, and Company K, a hundred and sixteen. Besides these, Company C had twenty- seven men from Cuyahoga during the war; Company D, twenty-three; Company E, three; Company F, six; Company G, six; Company II, fourteen; and Company I, four; the total in the regiment, with field and staff, being four hundred and thirty-seven. In the last days of June the Seventh was ordered to Clarksburg, West Virginia. While there, a stand of colors was presented to it on behalf of the German Turners Society, of Cleveland. The first severe march was made from that place to Weston, thirty miles distant, on the last afternoon and night of June. After scouting in this vicinity a short time, the Seventh marched to the Gauley valley. On the 15th of August it took post at Cross Lanes, where its suffered its first loss. Captain Schutte and fourteen men of Company K, while on a scout, were ambushed; the captain being mortally wounded, and all but four of the men being also killed or wounded. Having retired from Cross Lanes, and being ordered to return, it reached there alone on the evening of August 25th. Next morning it was vigorously attacked by a heavy rebel force, and some of the companies thrown into confusion. Captain Crane, with Company A, made a charge, piercing the rebel line and capturing a stand of colors. His detachment was cut off from the main body, however, and obliged to escape through the mountains to Gen. Cox's army at Ganley Bridge. Four hundred men under Major Casement, being nearly surrounded by an overwhelming force, also escaped through the mountains. Others escaped singly or in squads, but the regiment had twenty-one men killed and wounded, and ninety- six taken prisoners. The last of October the regiment took part in driving the rebel Gen. Floyd from his intrenchments on Cotton Hill, but without loss. In December the Seventh moved to Romney, near the Potomac, and in the forepart of January, 1862, with several other regiments, made a vigorous and successful movement, breaking up the intrenched camp of a rebel colonel in the mountains, and killing and capturing about a hundred of his men. During. the remainder of the winter the Seventh served under that brave and enterprising leader, Gen. Lander, and after his sudden death passed under the command of Gen. James Shields. On the 11th of March his command occupied Winchester, and on the 27th the Seventh took part in its first severe battle, that of Winchester. After the enemy's plans had developed themselves, the Third brigade, with the Seventh Ohio at its head, was sent to charge a battery, holding an important position, in flank. A heavy rebel force was stationed in support, behind a ravine and a stone wall. The column charged gallantly, and, although unable at once to drive the foe from his strong position, held its ground and maintained a desperate conflict. Reinforcements came up on both sides, and time two armies were soon fully engaged in furious strife. Near night the rebels began to retreat. The Union army made a charge along its whole line and the retreat soon became a rout. - Two pieces of artillery and four caissons were captured by the Third brigade. The enemy was pursued the next day, but could not be overtaken. The Seventh had fourteen killed and fifty-one wounded in this battle. After various marches in the valley of the Shenandoah, the regiment took part in the battle of Port Republic on the 9th of June. While it was supporting a section of Huntington's battery, the enemy charged the guns. The Seventh lay hidden by a growing field of wheat until the rebels were within easy range. Then the ringing tones of the gallant Creighton were heard, giving the order to rise up and fire. A shower of bullets riddled the lines of the advancing column. It staggered and halted. The Seventh dashed forward, and after a short but desperate conflict the foe was driven back, followed by the victorious men of Ohio. Another charge on the extreme right was also repelled by the Seventh and some other troops. The fiery Jackson was in command of the Confederates and a third assault was soon made on the Union center, which was repulsed with still more loss than before. Another attack was made, and a battery captured on the Union left. The Fifth and Seventh Ohio were directed to regain it. Under a tremendous fire they dashed up a hill and drove the rebels from the guns. Five color-bearers of the Seventh were shot down in as many rods. Lieutenant King seized the flag as the fifth man fell, pressed forward and was followed by the regiment, which drove the enemy to the shelter of a neighboring hill. From this, too, they were driven by the gallant Seventh and their comrades. At this time large reinforcements joined the enemy, and as General Shields, with a portion of the Union army, was several miles in the rear, General Tyler, who was in command, thought it best to retreat. In this conflict the Seventh had nine men killed, and SEVENTH INFANTRY - 87 two officers and fifty-eight men wounded; one of the officers being Captain Wood, author of the history of the regiment. Colonel Tyler having received a brigadier's star, Lieutenant-Colonel Creighton had been made colonel, and Captain Crane, of Company A, major. Being sent to Alexandria, the regiment remained there a month, and then joined McDowell's forces in central Virginia. On the 9th of August the brigade to which the Seventh belonged, then commanded by General Geary, was with Banks at Cedar Mountain. In the afternoon the Seventh, which was stationed on Telegraph Hill, was ordered forward under the tire of thirty pieces of artillery, to occupy a cornfield in front of it. Though its ranks were torn by cannon balls and shell, and its men were falling at every step, it moved steadily forward and occupied the assigned position. At four o'clock it moved into a meadow, and alone engaged in a desperate conflict with a vastly superior force of the enemy. Creighton was wounded and forced to retire. Crane was disabled. Captain Molyneaux took command. At length, when out of three hundred and seven men a hundred and eighty- one, nearly two-thirds of the whole number, were killed or wounded, the little band who remained uninjured slowly and sullenly fell back to a safer position. Even then its losses were not ended, for at night it was sent out on picket, and while advancing was tired on by heavy forces in front and on both flanks, and was forced to retire. During the night Banks' entire corps withdrew to the position it had held before the battle. Three officers and twenty-seven men of the Seventh were killed in this battle, and eight officers and a hundred and forty-three men wounded. The regiment next retreated with Pope's command to Washington, but was not engaged during the time. Soon moving north with McClellan, on the 17th of September the depleted band, scarcely to he called a regiment, took part in the battle of Antietam. Ordered to attack the enemy, strongly posted behind a rail fence in the edge of a wood, the Seventh with other troops maintained a fierce conflict with musketry for an hour and a half, then charged and drove the rebels from their covert at the point of the bayonet, pursuing them fully three-fourths of a mile. Taking up an advanced position, the division repelled a charge of General A. P. Hill's division, and again completely routed the enemy. Similar efforts all along the line gave to the Union army the victory of Antietam. The Seventh had five men killed and thirty-eight wounded in the battle. The regiment soon passed into Virginia. While holding the post of Dumfries, on the 27th of December, 1862, with two other regiments, the command Was attacked by Hampton's division of cavalry in the night. A few prisoners were captured on the picket line, but when the dismounted cavalry charged upon the main force they were defeated again and again, with very heavy loss. The Seventh had one man killed, eight wounded and eleven captured. Remaining in northern Virginia through the winter, in April, 1863, it advanced with the Army of the Potomac, then under Hooker, and on the second of May became warmly engaged in the battle of Chancellorsville. It was ordered to support a line of skirmishers, but as these would not advance, the Seventh passed them, drove back the foe, and held the ground till ordered to retire, which it did in good order. On the 3d of May the Seventh led its brigade in a fiery charge on the enemy, who were driven back, but the brigade, being unsupported, was in turn compelled to retire it short distance. During the night the heavy cannonading compelled its withdrawal to the vicinity of United States Ford. Though only engagen a short time in this battle, the little regiment had fourteen men killed, and seventy wounded. It will be understood that a portion of the vacancies caused by death and disability were made good by recruits from time to time, but only a portion. The constant tendency was toward decrease. In June the Seventh went north with the army of the Potomac, and on the second of July was engaged, but not severely, in the battle of Gettysburg. It was also engaged on the third, but was not in the hottest of the fight and was generally under cover. It had one man killed and seventeen wounded. The regiment was soon after sent to New York, to help maintain order during the draft disturbances, but in September was ordered back to the Rapidan. A little later the war-worn Seventh was sent with Hooker's two corps to join the Western army, and in due time arrived at Bridgeport. Early in November it reached the grand army at Chattanooga, which, on the 24th of that month, advanced against Mission Ridge. Only some preliminary skirmishing took place that day. The next day it moved with the whole army up the precipitous heights of Mission Ridge, but in front of its line the foe fled with comparatively little resistance. On the 27th the regiment with other troops reached Ringgold, Georgia, where it found the rebel rearguard strongly posted on Taylor's Ridge. The brigade to which it belonged, commanded by its own colonel, the fiery Creighton, was ordered to dislodge them. The Seventh and Sixty-sixth Ohio charged up the hill, but met with such a withering fire that they were compelled to fall back into a ravine. A deadly fire was concentrated on them here, and Col. Creighton again ordered them to retire. As they reached a fence, the colonel faced the enemy and waited for his men to cross it. While in this position he was shot through the body with a rifle-bullet, fell to the ground with his wife's name on his lips, and almost immediately expired. A few moments later Lieutenant Colonel Crane, then in command of the Seventh, was instantly killed 88 - GENERAL HISTORY OF CUYAHOGA COUNTY by a rifle ball through the forehead. The command rapidly fell back. The rebels wore soon obliged to retire by the approach of other Union troops, but they had inflicted an irreparable loss on the ever-faithful Seventh Ohio. Out of two hundred and six men in the action fourteen men were killed and forty-nine wounded. The instant death of the colonel and lieutenant colonel within a few moments of each other, both being men of remarkable valor, beloved and honored by their comrades, had a very depressing effect on the regiment and drew attention turoughout the army. General Rooker exclaimed, when he heard of it: "My God, are they dead? Two braver men never lived." The loss of the regiment in the three battles of Lookout Mountain, Mission Ridge and Taylor's Ridge was five officers and fourteen men killed, and eight .officers and fifty-four men wounded. At Taylor's Ridge only one officer present was left alive and unwounded. The bodies of the two young heroes, Creighton and Crane (the former was but twenty-six and the latter thirty-four), were sent home to Cleveland, and buried with all the honors that a patriotic and deeply affected community could bestow. The Seventh remained near Chattanooga through the winter, and in the spring of 1864 advanced with Sherman toward Atlanta. At Pumpkin Vine Creek, on the 25th of May, it was warmly engaged for a short time; having three men killed and fifteen wounded. In June, while in camp at Allatoona, the term of the Seventh expired and it was at once ordered home. About two hundred and fifty men, whose terms had not expired, were transferred to the Fifth Infantry. Two hundred and forty-five officers and men, all told, returned home; the remnants of over a thousand who went forth at their country's call three years before. They were welcomed at Cleveland on the 10th of June, 1864, by an immense concourse, and accorded a banquet and a formal reception; being addressed by Governor Brough and Prosecuting Attorney Grannis. The men were given a brief furIough; not being mustered out until after the Fourth of July, on which day, with the Eighth Ohio, they received another grand ovation. During the service of the Seventh Ohio more than six hundred and thirty of its men were killed and wounded; a hundred and thirty being slain in the field. About a hundred also died of disease. Taking it all in all, considering the number of its battles, its marches, its losses, its conduct in action, it may safely be said, that not a single regiment in the United States gained more lasting honor or deserved better of its country than the Seventh Ohio Volunteer Infantry.

These were enlisted originally for the three-months service, in response to the President's first call for troops in April, 1861. In June following all of the companies, except Company I, were re-enlisted for three years. On July 9, 1861, the regiment left Camp Dennison, and arrived on the 12th at West Union, Va. For several weeks it was stationed among the mountains, and along the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, where the men suffered severely from fever. At "Maggotty Hollow" over three hundred were in the hospital, and thirty-five deaths resulted in a short time. On September 24th, the Eighth engaged in the battle of Romney. At Hanging Rock it was under fire, and lost several in killed and wounded. On October 24th, for a second time at Romney, and soon afterwards at Blue's Gap. On February 14, 1862, it was engaged at Bloomey Gap; on March 18th at Cedar Creek, and on the 19th at Strasburg as skirmishers. The regiment was deployed as skirmishers before and after the battle of Winchester. The killed and wounded during this battle was more than one-fourth of its number. During March and April the regiment skirmished at Woodstock, Mount Jackson, Edinburg and New Market. In May, from Rectortown it skirmished a distance of eighteen miles. At Chickahominy Swamps it was again engaged; losing seven wounded. At South Mountain the Eighth formed part of the reserve corps, not actively engaged, but skirmished at Boonsboro' and Reedyville. At Antietam, while ,engaged, the Eighth and the Fourteenth Indiana were obliged to change front, which was done with great steadiness, saving the brigade from rout. The regiment moved with its corps to Bolivar Heights, and on October 1st, to Leesburg. From there to Falmouth, skirmishing at Milltown, Snicker Gap and United States Ford. At Fredericksburg the Eighth was in the right wing, In passing up Hanover street, it lost twenty-eight, and at the close of the battle the loss was thirty-four killed and wounded. The regiment was under constant fire for nearly four days at Chancellorsville, losing only two killed and eleven wounded. At Gettysburg, July 2d, the regiment captured and held a well defended knoll; three times repulsed the attacks of superior numbers, and captured three stands of colors. Its loss was one hundred and two killed and wounded. The regiment engaged in several skirmishes prior to August 15, 1863, when it was sent to New York to quell the riots. Returning to the field, it was engaged at Auburn and Bristow, October 14th, having two wounded. . On November 27th, 28th and 29th, the regiment acted as skirmishers at Robinson's Cross Roads, Locust Grove and Mine Run, losing several men. At the battle of Morton's Ford, February 6, 1864, several officers and men were wounded. At the Wilderness the Eighth was engaged on May 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 12th, losing in all over sixty killed and wounded. It also engaged in numerous skirmishes from Spotsylvania to Petersburg; took and held a fort at North Anna, and fought at Cold Harbor and Petersburg. At the expiration of its -term the Eighth was in the trenches before Petersburg with only seventy-two officers and men. On July 13, 1864, the regiment was formally mustered out of service.

THIS regiment has become celebrated by the number of distinguished men who have graduated from its ranks. When it was organized at Camp Chase, Ohio, in the month of June, 1861, its colonel was William S. Rosecrans, afterwards major general and commander of the army operating in middle Tennessee; its lieutenant-colonel was Stanley Matthews, late United States senator, and its major was Rutherford B. Hayes, now President of the -United States. Col. Rosecrans was appointed a brigadier general within a few days afterwards, and was succeeded by E. Parker Scammon, who also, at a later day, became a brigadier. Among the subsequent colonels was James M. Comly, now minister to the Sandwich Islands, There were in all two hundred and forty-six members of the regiment from Cuyahoga county, including the whole of Company A, the greater part of Company D, and a few men each in Companies E, F, G and I. On the 25th of July, 1861, the regiment proceeded to Clarksburg, West Virginia, and was occupied throughout the summer in that State, operating against guerrillas, guarding, important points, etc. In the forepart of September the Twenty-Third, as a part of Gen. Rosecrans' army, marched to Carnifex Ferry, where, on the evening of the tenth of that month, it was busily engagaged in skirmishing with the enemy. The latter abandoned his position during the night, and was pursued by the Twenty-Third and other regiments to Big Sewell Mountain. The regiment soon fell back to Camp Ewing on New river, where they remained several months, suffering severely from sickness. During the autumn the Twenty-Third was thoroughly drilled by its officers, and soon attained great proficiency. In January and February, 1862, Companies A, B, F, and G, were stationed at Raleigh Court-House, under Major Comly, and on the tenth of the latter month that officer marched with his men twenty-eight miles through a snow storm to the mouth of Blue Stone river, driving a regiment of rebel infantry across that stream, and capturing their tents, forage, etc. The gallantry and fortitude displayed in this exploit were highly complimented by Gen. Rosecrans in general orders. The regiment remained in winter quarters until the 22d of April, when it moved in the advance of the brigade toward Princeton, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Hayes. On the 8th of May nine companies of the Twenty-Third were attacked by four rebel regiments under General Heth, and after a gallant resistance, were forced to retreat. Soon after, the command proceeded to Flat Top mountain, where it remained until the middle of July. After the month spent at Green Meadow, the regiment made a forced march of a hundred and four miles in a little over three days (claimed to be the fastest on record by a force of that size) to the Great Kanawha, whence it went by boat and car to Washington, D. C. Thence it proceeded under Gen. McClellan to meet Lee, and on the 14th of September, 1862, engaged in the battle of South Mountain. This was the first severe battle in which the regiment took part, and it proved to be one of the hardest in which it ever was engaged. Though only a comparatively small portion of the army was in this battle, yet that portion was called on to display its utmost courage. The enemy was posted behind stone-walls, and poured in musketry, grape and canister on our advancing columns at short range, and with terrible effect. About nine o'clock the Twenty-Third, three hundred and fifty strong, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Hayes, advanced with the utmost gallantry. In a short time that officer was badly wounded, Lieut. Henry G. flood, of Cuyahoga county, met with a similar misfortune, and a hundred officers and men (nearly thirty per cent. of the whole number) were killed and wounded. Major Comly then took command, and engaged successfully with a rebel force on the left. Col. Hayes soon came back with his wound half dressed, and insisted on fighting, against the remonstrance of his officers, until, weak from loss of blood, he was carried from the field. The whole brigade now made a gallant charge across an open field against the enemy ensconced behind a stone-wall. Our informant, Lieut. Benjamin Killam, who was wounded in the battle, declares that the only men he saw killed with the bayonet in the numerous conflicts in which he took part, were slain in this charge. With cheers of defiance the Union men rushed forward at the top of their speed across the open space. The rebels remained behind the wall until their enemies were springing over it. They then attempted to escape, but many of them were slain with the bayonet before they could do so. Two other bayonet charges were made by the brigade during the day, but the rebels broke before they could be reached. The regiment, in company with its division, continued the contest until near nightfall, the enemy being driven back at all points. Nearly two hundred men of the Twenty-Third, more than half the whole number engaged, had been killed or wounded. Among the former was Capt. Abraham G. Hunter, of Cuyahoga county; among the latter from that county were Joshua L. Barnes, John Dunn and Thaddeus G. Ross. The severity of the conflict was also emphasized by the condition of the colors, TWENTY-THIRD INFANTRY - 97 which were riddled with bullets, the " field " being almost entirely carried away. At Antietam the regiment was less severely engaged, but even there it suffered seriously from a flank attack by the enemy in which the colors were shot down, although they were immediately replanted by Major Comly in a new line, where the regiment quickly established itself and succeeded in repulsing its assailants. Among the mortally wounded at .Antietam was Corporal Sheridan E. Bull, of Solon, in this county. He fell just as the regiment was compiled to give way before the sudden attack of the enemy. He carried a pistol narked with his name, " S. E. Bull." Seeing the enemy advancing, he hastily dug a hole and concealed the weapon. One of his comrades, Private Henry, noticed the act, and made a hasty observation of the surrounding objects. Both men were captured. Bull died while a prisoner; Henry recovered and was exchanged. Sixteen and a half years after the battle, in the month of April last, Mr. Henry, then principal of the public schools at Coshocton, Ohio, revisited the field of strife, discovered the locality in question, and after a little digging had the good fortune to find the pistol of his old comrade, badly rusted but still intact, and still bearing the name "S. E. Bull," cut by the fingers of the young patriot when he went forth to battle for his country. The weapon was sent to Corporal Bull's father, L. S. Bull, Esq., now postmaster at Solon, mentioned in the history of that township as a son of the earliest settler. In October the Twenty-Third returned to West Virginia, where Col. Scammon was appointed a brigadier-general. Lieut.-Col. Hayes was commissioned as colonel, Major Comly as lieutenant-colonel, and Capt. J. P. Mcllrath, of Cuyahoga county, (Captain of Company A) as major. The regiment was on garrison and scouting duty in West Virginia, without being called on for very serious work, from this time until the last of April, 1864, when it marched with the forces under General Crook in a raid on the Virginia and Tennessee railroad. The men made a very severe march through mountains, forests and snows, and on the 9th of May found the enemy intrenched on the first crest of Cloyd Mountain. Passing through a belt of woods, the line came to an open meadow, beyond which was a wooded hill, with rough breastworks near the top defended by infantry and artillery. Led by its officers, the regiment charged swiftly across the meadow under a heavy fire, and then, after a brief pause, clashed up the hill and drove the rebels from their intrenchments at the point of the bayonet. Our informant, previously mentioned, describes it as "a sharp, little fight while it lasted." Two attempts were made by the rebels to rally higher up the mountain, but in both cases they were easily routed. Capt. A. A. Hunter, of Cuyahoga county, (commander of Company K) was killed in the action, and forty or fifty officers and men were killed and wounded. At New River Bridge, on the same expedition, (May 10, 1864,) there was a sharp and successful skirmish, after which the bridge and several miles of the Virginia and Tennessee railroad were destroyed. After another month of hard marching and occasional skirmishing over the mountains of West Virginia, the command joined General Hunter's forces at Staunton, in the Shenandoah valley, on the 8 h of June. The whole command then proceeded up the valley and across toward Lynchburg. They defeated the enemy in a sharp fight two miles from that city, but as no attack was made that night, heavy re-enforcements were brought up from Richmond, and its capture became impracticable. The army then retreated to West Virginia. The whole expedition was one of extraordinary severity, on account of the hard marching through the mountains, accompanied by a great lack of food. During nine days of continuous marching and fighting- the men had less than quarter rations, and when they at length met a supply-train they are described by an officer present as camping and "eating all night." In the following month Crook's command, including the Twenty-Third, was ordered to the Shenandoah valley to meet Early. On the 24th of that month the regiment took part in one of the numerous battles of Winchester. This was one in which the United States forces were defeated; the Twenty-Third having ten officers and a hundred and forty-three officers and men killed and wounded. It were idle to attempt to recount the unnumbered marches, countermarches and minor conflicts which occurred during the remainder of the summer. They may be summed up in the words of the gentleman before quoted. " we were fighting all the time," said he; " We fought more that summer than we did during all the rest of our service." During the summer the Twenty-Third was consolidated with the Twelfth the new regiment comprising seven companies ..of the former and three of the latter, and retaining the name of the Twenty-Third. At the battle of Opequan, on the 19th of September, Hayes' brigade, including the Twenty-Third, was in advance on the extreme right of the infantry. After driving back the enemy's cavalry and coming under fire from his infantry, the brigade reached a slough, some fifty yards wide, in which the water was nearly waist deep, while beneath it was a bed of soft mud, of varying depth and treacherous consistency. The whole line halted at this formidable obstacle, but Colonel Hayes, the brigade commander, plunged in, and, although his horse several times fell in the mud, urged him on and reached the farther shore, the first one across. The brigade followed, many men being drowned in the treacherous morass, but most of them reached the farther shore, formed their lines, dashed upon the enemy and drove them back. This was repeated several times; the cavalry charging every time, and capturing a large number of prison- 98 - GENERAL HISTORY OF CUYAHOGA COUNTY ers. The division commander was wounded and carried from the field; leaving Colonel Hayes in command, who led the division during the remainder of the battle with the most reckless gallantry-half of the time being in advance of the line of infantry. The result of the whole battle was a complete victory for the Union arms, eight battle flags and several thousand prisoners being captured, of which the Twenty-Third took two hundred. . At the battle of North Mountain, Hayes' brigade charged with such fury that the rebels made almost no resistance and were driven in utter rout from their intrenchments, while the Unionists suffered very little loss. On the 19th of October the Twenty-Third took part in the battle of Cedar Creek; the conflict which has become celebrated throughout the country by the meteor-like appearance of Sheridan on his coal-black steed to retrieve the fortunes of the day. The enemy having stolen across an unguarded ford, Crook's command and the Nineteenth corps were driven back with heavy loss. At length, however, they established themselves on a new line, and were awaiting develop ments when Sheridan dashed up from Winchester. A roar of cheers greeted him, and, after making the necessary arrangements, he ordered the advance of the line. Another great victory was the result; the infantry driving back the enemy again and again, and the cavalry, as before, charging each time and capturing prisoners by the thousand. Colonel Hayes was promoted to brigadier general and Lieutenant-Colonel Comly to colonel for their part in the battle of Cedar Creek; their commissions both dating from that day. The regiment remained in the valley and in West Virginia during the remainder of the war, but was not called on to take part in any important conflicts. It was mustered out on the 25th of July, 1865, and then proceeded to Camp Taylor, Cleveland, where the men were paid off and discharged. MEMBERS FROM CUYAHOGA COUNTY. FIELD AND STAFF.
