HISTORY OF DEFIANCE COUNTY - 125 the trials of that campaign. Remaining but a short time at Louisville, on the 1st of October the regiment marched southward with the army, and, on the 8th, found the enemy in position at Chaplin Hills, near Perryville, Ky. The Thirty-eighth participated in that battle, and afterward in the campaign in Kentucky, until, on the 27th of October, it went into camp on Rolling Fork, near Lebanon, Ky. Remaining here but a short time, during which a detachment of recruits was received, it again took up the line of march in the direction of Nashville, Tenn. During the months of November and December, 1862, the regiment was guarding railroads between Gallatin and Nashville. In the latter part of December, the regiment marched to Nashville, and prepared for the approaching campaign, which terminated with the battle of Stone River. The Thirty-eighth acted a very conspicuous part in that battle, losing but few men, however, and, after the battle, went into camp near the city, where it remained until March 13, when it joined the forces then at Triune. While there, it built the earth fortress known as Fort Phelps. On the 23d of June, 1863, the Thirty-eighth marched with the Army of the Cumberland, and took an active part in the Tullahoma campaign. After resting a short time at Winchester, Tenn., on the 17th of August the march of Chattanooga began. The Thirty-eighth moved with the center corps, crossing the Cumberland Mountains, and finally halted on the banks of the Tennessee, opposite Shell Mound, where rafts of logs were constructed, preparatory to crossing the river. Crossing the river on the night of September 2, 1863, the march was resumed across Lookout and Raccoon Mountains, and the middle of September found the army in Lookout Valley, Preparations were made for battle, by sending everything to the rear that would encumber the army. The large train belonging to the entire army was sent to Chattanooga, and the Thirty-eighth Ohio, detailed by a special order from Gen. Thomas, was charged with the safe transit of the immense train. Accord. ingly, on the evening of the 18th of September, the train started, and ere the morning of the 19th of September dawned, the train was within six miles of Chattanooga. The Thirty-eighth did not participate in the struggle on the field of Chickamauga, but it performed the task which the vicissitudes of war assigned it. On the 25th of November, 1863, the division to which the Thirty-eighth belonged assaulted the fortifications at the foot of Mission Ridge, ascended the bill and carried the works, driving the rebels from them. The Thirty-eighth was on the extreme left of the army, and although Bragg had pronounced the slope inaccessible, yet they moved up, up, up, until the summit was reached. The fire from the rebel batteries was terrific, yet comparatively harmless, and but few were injured. In this charge the regiment lost seven men killed and forty-one wounded. After pursuing the enemy as far as Ringgold, Ga., the Thirty-eighth returned to camp near Chattanooga, where it re-enlisted as a veteran organization, and was furloughed home. At the expiration of the furlough, the regiment joined the army, then at Ringgold, Ga. Recruits were sent forward, and when Sherman started for Atlanta, the regiment numbered 741 men. On the 5th of May, 1864, the regiment broke camp at Ringgold, and marched to Buzzard's Roost Gap, where it was brought into action. After skirmishing two days, a flank movement was commenced, via Villanow and Smoke Creek Gap, nearly in rear of Resaca. Here the Thirty-eighth erected field-works, and skirmished continually, and, though no general engagement took place, several men were killed and wounded. After the evacuation of that place, the regiment participated in the campaign which followed; took an active part in the siege of Kenesaw, fortifying and skirmishing, and on the 5th of July, 1864, reached the banks of the Chattahoochie River. Remaining here until July 17, the advance was again sounded, and the river was crossed. On the 22d day of July, the Thirty-eighth had the honor of establishing the picket-line of the Fourteenth Army Corps, near the City of Atlanta. It remained there some time, holding its place in line, until August 3, when it moved to Utoy Creek. Here, on the 5th of August, a portion of the regiment (Companies A, C and K) charged the enemy's skirmish line, and was successful. Out of the 120 men who charged, nine were killed and forty-two wounded. On the night of the 25th of August, the regiment marched with the army on a flanking expedition, and, on the 27th, struck the Atlanta & West Point Railroad. Remaining there until the 31st. it again advanced, and that night took possession of the Macon road, near Red Oak Station. Remaining there during the night of September 1, it was ascertained that the enemy was then fortifying Jonesboro, and the army was put in motion for that place, and about 4 o'clock P. M. came upon the pickets of Hardee's corps. Este's brigade (to which the Thirty eighth belonged), of Baird's division, was brought forward and assaulted the works. In this charge, the regiment lost, out of 360 men, 42 killed and 108 wounded; making a total loss of 150 men. Corporal O. P. Randall had the colors at the onset; he fell lifeless, pierced by a minnie ball. Corporal Baird next took them, and he, too, fell dead. Corporal Strawser next took them, and he fell severely wounded. Corporal Donze then took the flag, and bore it to the works. Of the five who had in charge the colors, but one 126 - HISTORY OF DEFIANCE COUNTY. (Corporal H. K. Brooks) escaped unharmed, although not untouched, for five balls passed through his clothing. The dead were buried on a little knoll near the battle-field, and the regiment encamped near the town of Jonesboro. On the 9th of September, the troops fell back to Atlanta, and those who were not veterans were 'discharged. On the 3d of October, 1864, the army broke camp, and retraced its recent line of operations as far north as Dalton, Ga,, Hood having, in the meantime marched to the rear of Gen. Sherman The Thirty-eighth accompanied the expedition thus far, moved thence, via Gaylesville. Ala., to Rome, and, on the 5th of November, marched to Kingston, Ga. On the 12th of November, communication was severed, and the army started for Savannah, marching along the line of the Georgia State Railroad, destroying it as they went, until they reached Atlanta a second and last time. During the march from Atlanta to Milledgeville, there was nothing to mar the progress of the army. Arriving at the capital on the 24th of November, the Thirty-eighth was ordered into the city as a provost-guard, where it remained until the 25th, when the army moved on in the direction of Louisville. Just before reaching Louisville, the army left the road it had been moving on (the Augusta pike), and marched directly east. It became necessary that the bridge across the Big Ogeechee should be destroyed, and the Thirty-eighth was designated to perform that duty. This regiment had already marched fifteen miles that day, and it was yet ten miles to the bridge. After marching ten miles, and burning the bridge, it was then thirteen miles to where the army went into camp. Misfortune being the guide, the regiment took the wrong road, and marched six miles out of the way, and it was 12 o'clock P. M. when it arrived inside the picket-line, having marched that day forty-four miles and destroyed the bridge. From Louisville to Savannah the march was an agreeable one, and, on the morning of 'December 21, the Thirty-eighth Ohio went into camp near the conquered city, the enemy having evacuated the' night before. During the stay of the Thirty-eighth here, 200 drafted men and substitutes were' received. On the 30th of January, 1865, the Thirty-eighth left Savannah with the army, and participated in the " campaign of the Carolinas," and, after forty days, came to Goldsboro, N. C. From there it followed the retiring army as far as Holly Springs, N. C., where it remained until after the surrender or Johnston's army. From Holly Springs, the regiment marched back to Raleigh, and thence to Richmond, and finally to Alexandria, Va., where it remained until after the grand review at the national capital, when it encamped near the city of Washington. Remaining there in a state of inactivity until the 15th of June, orders were received to proceed by rail to Louisville, Ky. Meantime, a portion of the drafted men were mustered out. On the 15th of June, the regiment took the cars for Parkersburg, Va., and from there proceeded by boat to Louisville, Ky., where it arrived on the 23d of June. Soon after arriving, orders were received for the muster-out of the regiment, and, on the 12th of July, the muster-out was completed, and the regiment proceeded immediately to Cleveland, Ohio, where it was finally discharged on the 22d of July, 1865. THE BATTLE OF JONESBORO' , SEPTEMBER 1, 1864—THE PART TAKEN IN IT BY THE THIRTY-EIGHTH OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY, WHO HAD THE HONOR OF PLACING THE REGIMENT AL FL AG ON THE REBEL WORKS. On the morning of September 1, 1864, when the battle-line was formed, the color-guard for the Thirty-eighth Regiment consisted of Oscar Randall, George Strawser, Charles Donze, Darius Baird, Hiram Brooker and Charles Wilbur. The enemy were fortified with two lines of earthworks, the outer line of which was further protected with a heavy abattis. After the repulse of the regulars, the advance was sounded, and Este's brigade, of which the Thirty-eighth was a part, moved up to the attack, the colors of the brigade being borne by Corporal Ram dall. The enemy's fire was terrible, and many of the Thirty-eighth boys went down, Corporal Randall being among that number. The colors were immediately taken by Corporal Baird, who also fell dead. Corporal Strawser next raised the flag, and was almost immediately struck by a bullet. Col. Choate, seeing the colors go down, made an effort to reach them, and while in the act of seizing the flag, received a mortal wound. The regiment was now close up to the abattis, and at this point Capt. Stafford, the Adjutant General of the brigade, fell severely wounded. As Corporal Donze was pressing forward, Capt. Stafford seized hold of him, and begged him to carry him back. E. R. McDonald, of Company H, being close at hand, came to Corporal Donze's assistance, but they had hardly raised Stafford from the ground when they heard a ball strike, and Capt. Stafford relaxed his hold—his life having gone out amid the rattle of musketry and the clash of arms, in the service of his country. Corporal Donze, turning away from Capt. Stafford, discovered the colors lying on the ground, picked them up, and, forcing his way through the abattis, planted the colors on the works. The remnant of the brave Thirty-eighth Regiment, who had not gone down in that terrible "baptism of fire," closed up to their colors, captured many prisoners and held their position. The old flag is held in sacred HISTORY OF DEFIANCE COUNTY - 127 remembrance by the boys who followed it through so many battles, and though but a small and tattered portion remains, which is faded and blood-stained, it is to them more beautiful than on the day when they received it with its bright colors and silken folds. It is the sacred memories that cluster round it that make it beautiful. COMPANY D. Benjamin Miller, Captain. Samuel Donaldson, First Lieutenant. Jacob C.

Edward Herrick Phelps was born in Richville, St. Lawrence Co., N. Y., December 17, 1827. Choosing law as his profession, he commenced reading preparatory thereto, with Judge James, of Ogdensburg. In 1851, he moved to Defiance, Ohio, where he completed his reading in the office of Wolsey Welles, and was admitted to the bar in 1852. He afterward married Harriet Welles. At the breaking-out of the civil war, Col. Phelps was enjoying a lucrative practice in Defiance and adjoining counties. On President Lincoln's call for three months' men, he issued the first call for troops made in Northwestern Ohio, but soon received the appointment of Paymaster General of the State, from Gov. Dennison, which position he accepted, and assisted the Governor and Adjt-Gen. Carrington in organizing and equipping the three months' men, and afterward paid those of them in service in Western Virginia. His first commission in the army was that of Lieutenant Colonel of the Thirty-eighth Regiment, and dated June 10, 1861, and on the resignation of Col. Bradley, he was promoted to the command of the regiment, March 6, 1862. At the time of his death he was in command of the Third Division, Fourteenth Army Corps. His regiment took part in all the movements of the Army of the Cumberland, under Gens. Buell, Grant, Rosecrans and Thomas. Although not actively engaged in many battles, its service was among the most severe, and its standing highly honorable. At Wild Cat it arrived at the close of the battle, and pursued the enemy to London. It was unable to reach Mill Spring until the fighting was over. It took part in the siege of Corinth, and pursued the enemy to Boonville, and acted in reserve at Stone River. It bore an honorable part in the severe engagements of Chickamauga, having charge of ordnance and supply trains, bringing them safely off. The Thirty-eighth Regiment formed part of the gallant force that stormed and captured Mission Ridge on Wednesday, November 25, which closed the series of brilliant victories which will make Chattanooga memorable in our national history, and give the thousands of gallant men who achieved them a strong hold on the admiration of the world and gratitude of every true American. Col. Phelps was killed at the battle of Mission Ridge. He had been quite unwell before the battle— so much so, indeed, that on the night preceding his death he called in two surgeons for consultation; but when the order was given for the grand advance on the rebel stronghold, he could not think of remaining behind, and moved as usual at the head of his command. When they charged up the hill, he found himself too weak to climb, and being unable to ride his horse, owing to the steepness of the ascent, he was borne along by four of his men. Thus he continued with his brigade in that daring assault, until the summit was attained, and while organizing his men to be prepared for any attempt of the enemy to re-take the stronghold thus gallantly grasped from them, he was HISTORY OF DEFIANCE COUNTY - 129 shot by a sharpshooter concealed only fifteen or twenty rods from him, the ball entering his breast and killing him instantly. Col. Phelps from his boyhood took a deep interest in military matters, having in his youth acted as Lieutenant and Captain in the New York Volunteer Militia. Before he was twenty-one years old, and during the Mexican war, he enlisted a company, and started to join the federal army in Mexico, but peace was declared before he reached the field, As a lawyer, he was very industrious, energetic and persevering, qualities which he carried into military service. A strict disciplinarian, he carried out every order to the letter, He was particularly neat in his own person and dress, and was careful to see that attention was given to the same objects by his men, especially about their camps and quarters. The sanitary condition and wants of his command were always prominent in his thoughts, and he was renowned for his kindness and care of the sick and disabled. He was strictly temperate in his habits, never using intoxicating liquors, or tobacco in any form. Thus passed away another of the true men--the jewels of the nation. Col. Phelps' body was interred at Toledo, on Saturday, December 5, 1863. FORTY-EIGHTH OHIO INFANTRY. This regiment was organized at Camp Dennison on the 17th of February, 1862, and soon after departed to Gen. W. T. Sherman, at Paducah, Ky. After a short rest at Paducah, it moved up the Tennessee River, on the steamer Express, and on the 19th of March disembarked at Pittsburg Landing. On the 4th of April, while the regiment was on drill, a firing was heard, and the Forty-eighth at once moved in the direction of the sound; but the enemy fell back, and at nightfall the regiment returned to its quarters. About 7 o'clock on the morning of the 6th, the regi - ment advanced upon the enemy, and was soon warmly engaged. Charge after charge was repulsed, and though the rebel fire was making fearful gaps in the line, the men stood firm. A battery was sent to their aid, but after firing four shots it retired. The rebels then advanced, confidently expecting to capture the regiment, but they were driven back, and the Forty-eighth withdrew to its supports, having been ordered three times by Gen. Sherman to fall back. It is claimed that Gen. Johnston, of the rebel army, was killed in this portion of the battle by some member of the Forty eighth. The regiment was actively engaged during the remainder of the day, and, late in the afternoon, in connection with the Twenty-fourth Ohio and Thirty-sixth Indiana, it participated in a decisive attack on the rebel lines. It acted throughout in Buckland's brigade of Sherman's division—a brigade which had no share in the early rout 'of a part of that division. On the second day of the battle, about 10 o'clock A. M., the regiment went into action across an open field, under a galling fire, and continued constantly exposed until the close of the engagement. The Forty-eighth lost about one-third of its members in this battle. From this time until after the close of the rebellion, the regiment engaged continually in active duty. In the attack upon Corinth, the Forty-eighth was among the first organized troops to enter the rebel works. In Gen. Sherman's first expedition to Vicksburg, it occupied, with credit, a position on the right in the assault; and it was in Shermanls expedition up the Arkansas River, and distinguished itself in the battle of Arkansas Post. It was with Grant during his Vicksburg campaign; fought at Magnolia Hills and Champion Hills; and participated in a general assault on the rebel works in the rear of Vicksburg, May 23, 1863. On the 25th of June following, another general assault was made upon the same works, and the Fortyeigh h was ordered to cross an open field, exposed to two enfilading batteries, to take position in the advance line of rifle-pits and to pick off the enemy's gunners. This order was successfully executed. It took a prominent part in the battle of Jackson, Miss., and soon after engaged in the fight at Bayou Teche, At Sabine Cross Roads, the Forty-eighth, then a mere remnant of its former self, severely punished the " Crescent Regiment," but, in turn it was overpowered and captured. It was not exchanged until October, 1864. The majority of the men in the regiment re-enlisted, but, on account of the capture, they never received their veteran furlough. After its exchange, the regiment shared in the capture of Mobile. After the surrender of the rebel armies, the re-maining 165 men of this regiment were ordered to Texas. The regiment was at last mustered out of the service in May, 1866, arriving at Columbus, Ohio, May 21, 1866, having been in the service over four years, and traveled, during that time, through eight Southern States, a distance by land and water 11,500 miles, and being next to the last Ohio infantry regiment discharged from the service.

When the Forty-eighth Regiment, to which Company F belonged, was overpowered and captured at the battle of Sabine Cross Roads, La., April 8, 1864, the color-bearer, Isaac Scott, in the midst of the excitement threw down the regimental flag, but an old man sprang forward and tore the old flag from its staff and slipped it into his haversack, He was left sick on his way to prison, and did not arrive for some time after; but through all his sickness he clung to the flag, and upon arriving at Camp Ford, Tex., to which place the regiment had preceded him, delivered it to the officers of the regiment for safe keeping, and it was sewed up in Capt. Gunsaullus' blouse (he then being Captain of Company F), inside of the lining, where he wore it in safety up to the time of their being exchanged, at the mouth of Red River, on the Mississippi, October 23, 1864, after an imprisonment of six months and fifteen days. Passing down the Mississippi a short distance, they left the rebel craft and were turned over to Col. Dwight, Commissioner of Exchange. He ordered them on board the St. Mary's, where a band of music from New Orleans, and a number of ladies—wives of Union officers--were awaiting their arrival. Upon boarding the vessel, they proceeded immediately to the upper deck. The old flag was then torn from its place of concealment (Capt. G.'s blouse), and hastily tied to a staff prepared for the occasion. At this signal, the band struck up the " Star Spangled Banner," and the old flag of the Forty-eighth was unfurled to the breeze, with waving of handkerchiefs, and amid the wild shouts and deafening cheers of the released prisoners. The flag was afterward placed in the flag room of the State House at Columbus, Ohio, where it now remains. The rebel Assistant Agent of Exchange, Capt. Birchett (who accompanied the prisoners), on his return to Camp Ford related to the remaining prisoners how the flag of the Forty-eighth Ohio, in his presence, was torn from the coat of one of the officers, after they were exchanged at the mouth of Red River. He said it was one of the most exciting scenes he ever witnessed, and that the regiment deserved a great deal of credit for preserving their colors during their imprisonment. SIXTY-EIGHTH OHIO INFANTRY. This regiment commenced to rendezvous at Camp Latta, Napoleon, Henry County, on the 21st of November, 1861. Defiance, Paulding, Williams and Fulton Counties each furnished one company, and Henry County furnished the majority of the men in the other companies. The regiment was quartered in Sibley tents and furnished with stoves, and the men were rendered very comfortable. Rations were abundant, and of an excellent quality; and supplies of poultry, vegetables, fruit and cakes from home were received frequently. All these things made the campaign in the winter of 1861-62, in Henry County, the most pleasant campaign through which the regi- HISTORY OF DEFIANCE COUNTY - 131 ment ever passed. On the 21st of January, 1862, the regiment moved to Camp Chase, where it remained until the '7th of February, when it removed to Fort Donelson, Tenn., arriving on the 14th. The regiment was assigned to Gen. Charles F. Smith's division, and was constantly engaged in skirmishing on the left of the lines during both days' operations. After the surrender, the regiment encamped near Dover until the 15th of March, when it moved to Metal Landing, on the Tennessee, and from there by boat to Pittsburg Landing. The health of the regiment, until this time, had been remarkably good; but now bad weather, bad water and bad rations reduced the regiment's strength from 1,000 to less than two hundred and fifty men. The regiment was assigned to Gen. Lew Wallace's division, and during the battle of Pittsburg Landing, was engaged in guarding ordnance and supply trains. Lieut. Col. Scott and Capt. Richards, finding that the regiment was not likely to be engaged, went as volunteer aids to Gen. Thayer, and in his official report were mentioned for gallant and efficient service. During the operations around Corinth, the regiment was constantly engaged in building roads, bridges and intrenchments. After the evacuation, the Sixty-eighth, with the Twenty-third Indiana, was stationed at Bolivar, where they re-built the bridge across the Hatchie, and formed the guard along the railroad for a number of miles. The regiment participated in the battles of Iuka and Metamora, and for gallantry in the latter engagement was complimented in general orders. It closed the campaign of 1862 by forming the advance of an expedition, which attempted to penetrate the interior of Mississippi to Vicksburg. The design was frustrated by the surrender of Holly Springs, and the regiment returned to Memphis. Disasters in different portions of the army, and the influence of the traitorous press North tended to depress the spirits of the Western army, and some regiments lost heavily by desertion; but, during this time, only one man in the Sixty-eighth was reported as a deserter. During the campaign in Mississippi, the regiment was assigned to the Second Brigade, Third :Division, Seventeenth Army Corps, and it continued to serve with the same until the close of the war. The spring campaign of 1863 found the regiment at Lake Providence, La., where it worked hard on the Lake Providence Canal, and in a fruitless attempt to clear a passage for boats through Bayou Tensas. It was engaged, also, on a similar work at Walnut • Bayou, in the vicinity of Eagle Bend. About the 10th of April, 1863, the regiment moved down to Milliken's Bend, and was for some time engaged in working on the military road toward Richmond, La. While here, Lieut. J. C. Banks, of Company C, and Private John Snyder, of Company A, Joseph Long-bury and William Barnhart, of Company C, volunteered to take one of the transports, a common river steamer, past the Vicksburg batteries. They accomplished their undertaking successfully on the night of the 21st of April. On the 23d of April, the regiment began its march for the rear of Vicksburg. It marched more than seventy miles over low bottom lands, still partly submerged, crossed innumerable bayous on bridges hastily constructed of timber from neighboring houses and cotton gins, and reached the Mississippi at Grand Gulf. The regiment moved down to Brunersburg, where it crossed the river, and by a forced march, was able to participate in the batthe of Thompson's Hill, May 1, 1863. The regiment followed closely after the retreating rebels, and was engaged in the battles of Raymond, Jackson, May 14, Champion Hills and Big Black. The regiment sustained considerable loss in all these engagements, and especially at Champion Hills. The regiment engaged in an attack on the rebel works in the rear of Vicksburg on the 18th of May, and it participated in the assault on Fort Cill on the 22d. During the early part of the siege, the regiment was almost constantly in the trenches, and it also furnished large details of sharpshooters; but during the latter part of the siege it was placed in the Army of Observation, near Big Black. It was on the reconnaissance toward Yazoo City, in the latter part of June, and it participated in the engagement at Jackson on the 12th of July. After the battle, it guarded about six hundred prisoners into Vicksburg. The regiment was quartered comfortably in the suburbs of Vicksburg until the middle of August, when it moved on an expedition to Monroe, La., and returned with one-third of its men either in the hospital or on the sick-list. In October, the regiment moved on a reconnaissance with the Seventeenth Corps, and was engaged in a skirmish at Bogue Chitta Creek, and on the 5th of February, 1864, it participated in the fight at Baker's Creek, while moving on the Meridian raid. This expedition prevented the regiment from going North, on veteran furlough, as promptly as it otherwise would have gone. It was one of the first regiments in the Seventeenth Corps to report three-fourths of its men re-enlisted, it having done so on December 15, 1863. Upon its return from the Meridian raid, the men were supplied with clothing, and the regiment embarked for the North, leaving 170 recruits at Vicksburg, who arrived just as the regiment was moving down to the landing. The regiment arrived at Cairo on the 23d of March and embarked on the cars, moved by way of Indianapolis, Bellefontaine and Columbus to Cleveland, where it arrived on the 26th. Through Illinois and Indiana the regiment was wel 132 - HISTORY OF DEFIANCE COUNTY. corned everywhere with banners and flags. It was entertained substantially at the Soldiers' Home in Indianapolis, on the morning of the 24th, and was feasted bountifully by the citizens of Muncie, Ind., on the evening of the same. The regiment was detained ten days at Cleveland, before a Paymaster could be obtained, and soon after payment the regiment started for Toledo, where it arrived at 3 o'clock P. M., on the 6th of April. It was met by a delegation of citizens, headed by the Mayor of the city, with bands of music, and after marching through the principal streets it was escorted to the Island House, where a splendid dinner was in waiting. This was the first welcome the regiment had received since entering the State. Special trains were made up on the different roads, and by night all the men were where they felt sure of a welcome—at home. On the 7th of May, the regiment again took the cars at Cleveland, and proceeded to Cairo by way of Cincinnati. At Cairo it was joined by the recruits left at Vicks- burg, and these, with those obtained during the furlough, numbered over three hundred. Here, too, the regiment turned over its old arms, and drew new Springfield muskets. On the 12th of May, the regiment, with more than seven hundred men for duty, embarked for Clifton, Tenn., and thence it marched, by way of Huntsville, Decatur and Rome, to Acworth, Ga., where it joined the main army under Sherman on the 10th of June. During the remainder of the Atlanta campaign the Sixty-eighth was under fire almost constantly. It was on the advance line for sixty-five days and nights, and it was engaged at Kenesaw, Nicojack, Atlanta, July 22 and 28, Jonesboro and Lovejoy. On the 22d of July, the regiment was engaged very heavily, It had been selected to go to the rear, and to picket the roads in the vicinity of army and corps headquarters; but upon reaching its position, it discovered in its front, instead of cavalry, a corps of rebel infantry, while at the same time another line of rebel troops was forming across the road in its rear. Thus, the Sixty-eighth was sandwiched between the enemy's advance and rear lines. The rebels were totally unaware of the position of this little Buckeye band. The commands of the rebel officers could be heard distinctly, and prisoners were captured almost from the rebel line of file-closers. As the rebel line moved form ard, the Sixty-eighth advanced, cheering, on the double quick, and dropping behind a fence poured a volley into the rebels, who were in the open field. The batteries of Fuller's brigade, Sixteenth Corps, responded to the alarm thus given, and the fight opened in earnest. The Sixteenth Corps engaged the enemy so promptly that the regiment was enabled, by a rapid movement by the flank and a wide detour, to pass around the enemy's right and re-join its brigade, which it found warmly engaged. The attack came from front and rear, and the men fought first on one side of the works and then on the other. At one time, a portion of the brigade was on one side of the works, firing heavily in one direction, while a little way lower down the line, the remainder of the brigade was on the other side of the works, firing heavily in the other direction, The left of the brigade swung back to the crest of a small hill, the right still resting on the old works, and a few rails were thrown together, forming a barricade, perhaps a foot high, when the last charge of the day was made by two rebel divisions. On they came, in splendid style, not firing a shot, arms at "right shoulder shift," officers in front,. lines well dressed, following each other in quick succession. The brigade held firm until the first line had crossed a ravine in its front, and the second line of reserves could be seen coming down the opposite slope. Then came a terrific crash of musketry, and then volley after volley, The rebels fell back, leaving the ground thickly strewn with the dead and dying. After the engagement at Lovejoy, the regiment was stationed on the Rough and Ready Road, near East Point, for two weeks, when it moved in pursuit of Hood, The regiment advanced as far as Gaylesville, Ala., and here quite a number of men were mustered out by reason of expiration of term of service. The regiment commenced its return march about the 1st of November, and moved by way of Cave Springs and Lost Mountain to Smyrna Camp Meeting Ground, where the men were supplied with clothing, and everything was thoroughly overhauled. The railroad was destroyed, and on the 14th the regiment moved to Atlanta, and at daylight on the 15th commenced the march to the sea. With the exception of an engagement with the Georgia militia at the crossing of the Oconee, and the destruction of the railroad buildings at Millen, the regiment experienced no variation from the easy marches and pleasant bivouacs which all enjoyed. On the .10th of December, the regiment reached the works around Savannah. On the 12th, the Seventeenth Corps moved well around to the right of the main road running from the city to King's Bridge. Here the regiment assisted in throwing up a heavy line of works, and furnished two companies daily, as sharpshooters. During the operations around Savannah, the regiment subsisted almost entirely upon rice, which was found in large quantities near the camp, and which the men hulled and ground in rude hand-mills. Upon the occupation of the city, the regiment was ordered on guard duty in the town, and was quartered comfortably in Warren and Oglethorpe Parks. Here, too, the regiment lost some valuable men, who were mustered out by HISTORY OF DEFIANCE COUNTY - 133 reason of expiration of term of service. A large number of commissions were received, and the regiment was supplied with a fine corps of young and enthusiastic officers. On the 5th of January, 1865, the regiment embarked at Thunderbolt Bay for Beaufort, and from there it formed the advance of the corps for most of the way to Pocotaligo. Here some heavy works were thrown up, and after resting about two weeks the troop moved on the campaign of the Carolinas. The regiment marched by way of Orangeburg, Columbia, Winnsboro and Cheraw, destroying property, both public and private; but upon entering the State of North Carolina, this destruction of property was forbidden by orders from superior head quarters. The march was continued through Fayetteville to Goldsboro, where the regiment arrived ragged, barefooted and bareheaded, and blackened and begrimed with the smoke of pine-knots. On the morning after its arrival, the Adjutant's report showed forty-two men barefooted, thirty-six bare headed, and 260 wearing some article of citizen's clothing. The regiment rested ten days, and then moved out to Raleigh. After the surrender of Johnston, the regiment marched, by way of Dinwiddie Court House, Petersburg, Richmond, Fredericksburg and Alexandria, to Washington City, where it participated in the grand review on the 24th of May. After the review, the Sixty-eighth camped at Tenallytown for a week, when it was ordered to Louis ville Ky. It went into camp about two miles from the city, and a regular system of drill and discipline was maintained until the 10th of July, when the muster-out rolls were signed, and the regiment was ordered to report to Camp Taylor, near Cleveland, for payment and discharge. Upon arriving at Cleveland, the Sixty-eighth was met at the depot by a delegation of citizens, and was escorted to Monument Square, where a splendid breakfast was served. After this the regiment marched to camp, where it remained until the 18th of July, 1865, when it was paid and discharged. During its terms of service, the regiment was on the "sacred soil" of every rebel State except Florida and Texas. It marched over seven thousand miles, and traveled by railroad and steamboat over six thousand miles. Between nineteen hundred and two thousand men belonged to the regiment, and of these, ninety per centum were native Americans, the others being Germans, -Irish, or English, the Germans predominating. Col. R. K. Scott commanded the regiment in all its engagements except Metamora, when Lieut. Col. J. S. Snook commanded until after the Vicksburg campaign, when the command devolved upon Lieut. Col. George E. Wells, and he continued to hold the command in all the subsequent engagements, skirmishes and marches until the close of the war. The regiment was presented with a beautiful banner, by the citizens of Henry County, just before its muster-out, it having been impracticable to send the flag to the regiment at Atlanta, as was intended. The flag was returned by Col. Wells, on behalf of the regiment, to the citizens of Henry County, and is now in the possession of Mr- Joseph Stout, of Napoleon, one of the principal donors, and always a stanch friend to the Sixty- eighth. The regimental colors were turned over to the Adjutant General of the State, and were deposited in the archives. Upon these flags, by authority from corps and department headquarters, were inscribed the names of the following battles: Fort Donelson, Pittsburg Landing, siege of Corinth, Iuka, Metamora, Thompson' s Hills, Raymond, Jackson, Champion Hills, Big Black, Vicksburg, May 22 and siege Jackson, July 12, Monroe raid, Bogue Chitta, Meridian raid, Kenesaw, June 27 and siege, Nicojack, Atlanta, July 21, 22 and 28 and siege, Jonesboro, Lovejoy.

This regiment was organized at Toledo during the months of July and August, 1862, and was mustered into the service on the 1st of September following. On the 8th of 'September, the regiment moved to Cincinnati, for the defense of that city. On the 9th, it went into position on Covington Heights, a few rods in front and to the left of Fort Mitchel. The regiment marched for Lexington, Ky., on the 8th of October, and remained there, undergoing a thorough course of instruction, until about the 1st of December, when it moved to Richmond. It was engaged in work on the fortifications until the 26th of December, when it moved to Danville, and on the 3d of January, 1863, it moved to Frankfort. Toward the last of February, itmarched to Lexington, to intercept a rebel raid, and from that point it marched to Crab Orchard, Mount Vernon, Somerset and to various other points, where the presence of the enemy rendered it necessary. On the 13th of August, the regiment went into camp at Danville, preparatory to the march of East Tennessee. Upon arriving at Knoxville, a portion of the regiment was sent up to the Virginia State line, to guard the railroad. The detachment, 240 strong, was captured by the enemy on the 4th of September, and was sent to Richmond, Va. The regiment participated in the del fense of Knoxville, and was on active duty during its stay in East Tennessee. Early in the spring of 1864, the regiment marched in the Twenty-third Army Corps to join Gen. Sherman, then at Tunnel Hill, Ga. It moved on the Atlanta campaign, and was present at almost every battle from Rocky Face Ridge to Atlanta. On the 6th of August, it was engaged in an assault on the rebel works in front of Atlanta, with a loss of 103 men out of 300. Thirty-six men were killed on the field, and eight more died from wounds within the next thirty days. The Colonel was disabled for life. After the evacuation of Atlanta, it joined in the pursuit of Hood, and participated in the battles of Franklin and Nashville. It moved with the Twenty-third Corps to Washington, N. C., and was there actively engaged. It marched into the interior, and moved from Goldsboro to Raleigh with Sherman's army. It next moved to Greensboro, and from there to Cleveland, Ohio, where it was mustered out of the service on the 1st of July, 1865, having served two years and ten months from muster-in to muster-out. The One Hundredth lost, during its term of service, 65 men killed in action, 142 wounded, 27 died of wounds, 108 died of disease, 325 captured by the enemy and 85 died in rebel prisons. It participated in the battles of Lenoir Station, Knoxville, Rocky Face Ridge, Resaca, Dallas, Etowah Creek, Atlanta, Columbus, Franklin, Nashville, Town Creek and Wilmington. COMPANY D, William H.

It was re-organized August 25, 1862, at Camp Taylor, near. Cleveland. It lay in camp at this place drilling and preparing for the field, until the latter part of September, when it moved under orders to Covington, Ky,, opposite Cincinnati., This move was made with reference to an anticipated attack on Cincinnati by a rebel force under Gen. Kirby Smith, then operating within a few miles of Covington. The regiment lay at Covington about one week, when it returned to Delaware, Ohio, but it was shortly thereafter taken by rail to Washington, where it was engaged for nearly a month constructing breastworks and fortifications around and in the vicinity of the city. In the early part of November, the regiment marched to Fairfax C. H., Va., where it remained two weeks, Stafford C. H. was its next stopping place. At this point it was assigned to the Second Brigade, First Division, Eleventh Army Corps, Maj. Gen. Sigel commanding. Remaining at Stafford C. H, only two weeks, it marched on a flanking expedition to the left and rear of Fredericksburg, with the purpose of cooperating with Gen. Burnside's army in a second attack. This plan was frustrated by the wretched condition of the roads, and the whole army fell back to and around Brook's Station, where it went into winter quarters. On April 29, 1863, the One Hundred and Seventh Ohio, with its brigade and division, moved across the Rappahannock to Chancellorsville; here, on the 2d and 3d of May, it took part in the battle of that name, The regiment was under the command of Col. Meyer, and went into the engagement with the Eleventh Army Corps, under Gen. Howard. The Eleventh Corps was completely flanked by Stonewall Jackson, and its lines were broken. In this disastrous affair the One Hundred and Seventh Ohio suffered terribly, losing 220 officers and men killed, wounded and prisoners. The surgeon of the regiment, Dr. Hartman, of Cleveland, Ohio, and several other officers, were killed. On May 6, the regiment returned to its former camp at Brook's Station, where it remained until June 12. It then marched to Callett's Station, Manassas Junction and Centerville, on its way to Gettysburg, Penn., the rebel army under Gen, Lee having invaded that State. Passing through Frederick City and Emmettsburg, it reached Gettysburg on the morning of the 1st of July. It was at once engaged with the enemy, taking position on the right wing. In the first day's fight, the regiment and the Eleventh Corps were compelled to fall back through the town of Gettysburg to Cemetery Hill, when a new line was formed and held during the remainder of the battle. In falling back to this place, the regiment lost in killed, wounded and prisoners 250 officers and men. In the second day's fight, in a charge made about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, it again lost heavily in killed and wounded. In this affair the regiment captured a rebel flag from the Eighth Louisiana Tigers. Aside from light skirmishing, it was not engaged in the third day's fight. Its total loss in the battle of Gettysburg—killed, wounded and prisoners, was over four hundred, out of about five hundred and fifty, rank and file, with which it entered. A number of officers of the regiment were killed. Lieut. Col. Mueller was wounded in ̊ the arm, Capt. Vignos, of Company If, had his right arm shot off; Capt, Steiner, of Company D, was shot through the bowels, from the effects of which he subsequently died; Capt. Speyer, of Company I, was shot through the right shoulder; Capt. Fischer, of Company F, was shot through the breast and arm; Adjt. Young, who captured the rebel flag, was also severely wounded; Lieut. John Fischer,of Company G, was shot through the thigh. A number of other officers *were wounded, whose names cannot now be procured. With 111 guns, all that was left of the regiment, it joined in the pursuit of the rebel army, following it to Hagerstown, and thence into Virginia, to Catlett's 136 - HISTORY OF DEFIANCE COUNTY. Station. On August 1 the regiment sailed in transports to Folly Island, S. C., where it performed picket duty until January, 1864. In that month, it was taken in boats to Kiowah Island, and from there waded over to Seabrook Island, and drove the enemy from that point. It returned to Folly Island and remained there until the 7th of February, when it made a similar expedition across Seabrook Island to Jones' Island This last movement was made to cover the operations of Gen. Gilmore at Olustee, Fla. On February 11, the regiment again returned to Folly Island, and on the 23d of the same month was taken on transports to Jacksonville, Fla. At this place it had a few skirmishes with the enemy, aside from which nothing of moment occurred. In July it was taken to Fernandino, when, after remaining about one math it returned to Jacksonville. On December 29, the regiment was taken on transports to Devos Neck,'S. C, While here it had several skirmishes with the enemy, and lost five men killed and some fifteen wounded. From this point it marched to Pocotaligo Station, on the Savannah & Charleston Railroad; thence to Gardner's Corner, where, for some seven days, it did picket duty, It then marched through (with some days detention in building bridges, roads, etc.) to Charleston, S. C. Stopping at Charleston one day it joined an expedition, under command of Gen. Potter,f or the purpose of ridding the vicinity of rebel bands of guerrillas. Returning to Charleston, it was placed on a gunboat and taken to Georgetown, S. C. It there did picket duty until the 23d of March, then marched to Sumterville, met the enemy, defeated him, and captured three pieces of artillery, six horses and fifteen prisoners. In this affair the regiment lost four men wounded. Marching to Singleton Plantation, it met and skirmished with the enemy, losing two men wounded. A few days later, near the same place, it captured a train of cars, which was destroyed, with thirteen locomotives and a large amount of provisions and ammunition. On April 16, 1865, news was received of the surrender of Lee's and Johnston's armies; and, amid great rejoicings over the auspicious event, the regiment marched back to Georgetown, S. C. Three weeks thereafter, it was taken by steamer to Charleston, where it did provost duty until July 10, when it was mustered out of the service and sent home to Cleveland, where it was paid off and discharged.

This regiment was organized in the month of August, 1862, and was mustered into the service on the 5th and 6th of September. It was a Northwestern Ohio regiment, having been raised in Sandusky, Lucas, Wood, Fulton, Williams and Defiance Counties. It took the field at Covington, Ky., on the 11th of September, 1862. The regiment remained in front of Covington until the 18th of September, when in company with four regiments and a battery, it made a reconnoissance to Crittenden, Ky. After driving out the cavalry of Kirby Smith from that place, the regiment returned to Covington. It remained at Covington until the 25th, when it took transports for Louisville, where it was assigned to Gen. Buell's army, being in the Thirty-eighth Brigade, Twelfth Division, under command of Gen. Dumont. The regiment, moved on Shelbyville October 3. On the 8th of October, it took the advance in the movement on Frankfort, where a slight skirmish sitook place. It moved on Lawrenceburg October 11, and camped at Crab Orchard, where it joined with Gen. Buell's whole army. After Gen. Bragg's army had escaped through Cumberland Gap, the One Hundred and Eleventh moved by rapid marches to Bowling Green, Ky., where it remained garrisoning forts and guarding the railroad from that place to Nashville. On the 29th of May, 1863, the regiment was ordered to Glasgow, Ky. At this place the One Hundred and Eleventh was assigned to the Second Brigade, Second Division, Twenty-third Army Corps, and remained in this brigade, division and corps until mustered out of the service. From Glasgow it took part in the movement on Scottsville and Tompkinsville. About this time John Morgan's cavalry made a raid into Indiana and Ohio. The regiment took part in the pur- suit. On the 4th of July, 1863, it marched from Tompkinsville to Glasgow, a distance of thirty-two miles, in one day, carrying guns, equipments and forty rounds of ammunition, On the 6th of July, the regiment marched to Munfordsville, and remaining three days, it took the cars for Louisville. Morgan having crossed the Ohio River, the One Hundred and Eleventh was ordered to New Albany, lnd. It then marched to Jeffersonville and took transports for Cincinnati. On an island ten miles above Louisville the regiment was landed, and a detachment of Morgan's command was captured. It arrived at Cincinnati on the 13th. From this city it proceeded to Portsmouth, arriving at that place on the 18th. After the capture of Morgan the regiment returned to Kentucky. Arriving at Lebanon, Ky, it marched to New Market, there the Second Division, Twenty-third Army Corps rendezvoused preparatory to the march to East Tennessee. On the 19th of August, this movement commenced. The command arrived at Jamestown, Tenn., on the Cumberland Mountains, eighty-five miles distant from Knoxville, on the 26th. From this point the command moved by rapid marches through Yarman's Gap, and arrived on the 30th of August at Montgomery. On the 2d of September, it forded the Big Emery River. and arrived at Loudon, Tenn., on the Tennessee River, on the 4th. The regiment remained at Loudon until November 14, and took part in the movement north of New Market to check the rebel advance from Virginia. It also took part in 138 - HISTORY OF DEFIANCE COUNTY. several forced marches, scouts and skirmishes along the Tennessee and Holston Rivers. The advance of Gen. Longstreet's army appeared in front of Loudon on the 22d of October, and considerable skirmishing was kept up between the two armies. On the 14th of October, the command marched to Lenoir; but meeting re-enforcements here a counter-march was ordered, and the Second Brigade was ordered to march to Huff's Ferry, three miles below Loudon, and prevent the crossing of Gen. Longstreet's troops. Owing to the almost impassable condition of the roads, it was nearly dark before arriving at the ferry, On a high bluff, about half a mile from the river, a brigade of rebels was encountered. The Second Brigade was immediately formed in single line and ordered to charge. The charge was successful, In it the One Hundred and Eleventh only lost a few wounded, and it was on the right flank of the brigade and partially under cover of dense woods. The brigade stood to arms all night in the pelting rain, without food or shelter. At daylight the entire division fell back, and the One Hundred and Eleventh covered the retreat. At Loudon Creek, a brisk skirmish took place between the regiment and the Sixth ,South ".Carolina Sharp shooters, composing Gen. Longstreet's advance. The stand was made to enable Henshaw's Illinois Battery to get its caissons up a hill above the creek. In this engagement the One Hundred and Eleventh lost four killed and twelve wounded, After this skirmish, the command marched rapidly to Lenoir unmolested. On this night, all camp and garrison equipage and transportation were destroyed, and on the morning of the 16th, at 3 A. M., it moved out for Knoxville, Tenn. At daylight on this morning Lieutenant 0. P. Norris and frfty-two then of Company B, of the regiment were captured by the rebels while on picket. Of these fifty-two stalwart men, thirty-six died of starvation and exposure at Andersonville Prison. Campbell's Station was selected by Gen. Burnside as the point to which to give battle to Gen. Longstreet. In this engagement the One Hundred and Eleventh occupied the front line, directly in front of two batterieE of rebel artillery, and was for six hours exposed to the shells of the enemy's concentrated fire. The loss in killed and wounded was only eight, as the enemy used percussion shells which mostly fell in the rear of the first line. The regiment marched with the command into Knoxville, a distance of six miles, having been three nights without sleep, food or rest, and having participated in three separate engagements. It passed through the siege of Knoxville, occupying the fort on College Hill, and lost six men killed and wounded. After Gen- Longstreet's retreat, it took part in the skirmishes at Blain's Crossing, Danville and Strawberry Plains, and occupied an outpost six miles in front of the city when Gen. Schofield fell back the second time on Knoxville. It protected the crossing of the Second Division at Strawberry Plains on the list of January, 1861, losing one man killed. On the 9th of February, Gen. Schofield arrived at Knoxville and took command of the department. On the 24th of February, the Second Division marched to Strawberry Plains; on the 27th crossed the Holston River, and marched some distance; counter-marched at night as far back as Mossy Creek. On the 14th of March, the regiment moved to Morristown, East Tenn. On the following dayit was on the picket line, and had a brisk skirmish with the rebel cavalry. The One Hundred and Eleventh was moved back to Mossy Creek, where it remained until the 26th of April, when it was marched to Charleston, on the Hiawassee River, a distance of 100 miles. This it accomplished in four days, arriving at Charleston on the 30th. From this point it marched to Red Clay. Ga., arriving on the 6th of May. At this place, the Army of the Ohio united with the left wing of Gen. Sherman's army to participate in the Atlanta campaign. It marched to Tunnel Hill on the 7th of May, and on the following day skirmished into a position in front of Buzzard's Roost. On the 9th, in the advance on Rocky Face Mountain, the regiment was assigned the front line of the skirmishers, and during an advance of three- quarters of a mile, lost nine men, killed and wounded. On the 12th of May, the One Hundred and Eleventh marched through Snake Creek Gap, and arrived in front of Resaca on the evening of the 15th, The brigade made a charge on the enemy's works on the following day. Being unsupported by artillery, the charge was unsuccessful and the loss heavy. The One Hundred and Eleventh had but seven companies engaged, three companies being in the rear, guarding transportation. Out of the number engaged, seven men were killed and thirty wounded. The regiment took part in the second day's fight at Resaca, but being in the supporting column, it sustained no loss. Alter an unsuccessful assault at midnight upon the National lines, the rebels evacuated. On the 16th of May, the regiment participated in the pursuit; had a skirmish with the rebel cavalry on the 20th, and captured six prisoners. On the 27th, a brigade of rebels made an advance on the National lines. The One Hundred and Eleventh was ordered out on the double-quick, made a charge and broke the rebel line's. In this engagement, the regiment lost fifteen men killed and wounded. It took part in the entire campaign against Atlanta. It was actively engaged. in the siege of Kenesaw, the battles of Pine Mountain, Lost Mountain, Dallas, on the Chattahoochie River, near Nicojack Creek, Decatur, Peach Tree Creek, and in the siege of Atlanta and the skir- HISTORY OF DEFIANCE COUNTY - 139 mishes at Rough-and-Ready, Lovejoy's Station and Utoy Creek. It started on the Atlanta campaign with 380 men, and of this number, lost, in killed and wounded, 212. On the 8th of September, the regiment went into camp at Decatur, Ga., and remained there until the morning of the 4th of October, when the movement against Gen. Hood's forces commenced. During the stay at Decatur, the regiment made a reconnoissance to Stone Mountain, where it encountered rebel cavalry and lost a few of its men. The One Hundred and Eleventh marched rapidly to Allatoona Pass, and to within eighteen miles of Chattanooga, where the corps was ordered into Alabama in pursuit of Gen. Hood's army. It marched south as far as Cedar Bluffs, on the Coosa River, where, in a skirmish with rebel cavalry; one officer and three men of the One Hundred and Eleventh were captured on picket. From this point, the regiment marched to Rome, Ga., where a brisk skirmish took place. From thence it moved to Resaca, where it arrived on the 1st of November, 1864. At Resaca, the regiment took the cars and was moved to Johnsonville, on the Tennessee River, eighty-five miles west of Nashville, to protect that place against a rebel raid. It remained at Johnsonville until the 20th of November, when it was again moved by rail to Columbia, Tenn., to assist in checking Gen. Hood's advance. It participated in the skirmishes at Columbia, and was detailed to remain in the rear to guard the fords of Duck River while Gen. Thomas' army fell back on Franklin, The regiment guarded a wagon train to Franklin, and was twice attacked. Each time it repulsed the enemy. The regiment at night marched by the outposts of Gen. Hood's army in bringing up the rear. It arrived at Franklin on the morning of the 30th of November, and was immediately assigned to the front line of works, on the left flank of the Second Division, Twenty-third Army Corps, to the right of the Franklin Turnpike. In the fight of that day, the regiment, out of 180 men engaged, lost twenty-two men killed on the field and forty wounded. Many were killed by rebel bayonets. The contest was so close that once the flag of the regiment was snatched from the hands of the Color Sergeant, but the bold rebel was killed instantly. The troops on the immediate left of the One Hundred and Eleventh fell back during the charge, and the rebels, holding this part of the line for an hour, poured an enfilading fire along the line of the whole brigade. Owing to the large loss of officers in this and previous engagements, a detail from other regiments was necessary to command the companies. On the morning of the 1st of December, the One Hundred and Eleventh marched back to Nashville, where it was assigned a position in the line of defenses on the left. It was severely engaged during both days of fighting in front of Nashville. In a charge it captured three rebel battle-flags and a large number of prisoners. The loss was seven killed and fifteen wounded. The regiment took part in the pursuit after Gen. Hood. It was marched to Clifton, Tenn., where, on the 17th of January, 1865, it took transports to make the campaign of North Carolina. It passed through Cincinnati January 23, and arrived at Washington, D. C., on the 31st. From Alexandria the regiment took an ocean steamer for Fort Fisher, where it joined the army under Gen. Ferry, and took an active part in the capture of Fort Anderson, and in the skirmishes at Moseby Hall and Goldsboro. After the surrender of Gen. Johnston, the regiment was moved to Salisbury, N. C., where it remained on garrison duty until ordered home for muster out. It arrived at Cleveland on the 5th of July, 1865, and was mustered out on the 12th. The One Hundred and Eleventh re-enlisted as veterans in February, 1864, in East Tennessee, but, owing to the demand for troops in the field, the veteran furlough could not be granted. Again (in October, 1864), after the Atlanta campaign, more than two-thirds of the regiment re-enlisted as veterans, but, after Gen. Hood's campaign to the rear, the order to furlough it was revoked. The One Hundred and Eleventh numbered 1,050 men when it entered the service, and received eighty-five recruits. Of these men, 234 were discharged for disability, disease and wounds; 200 died of disease contracted in the service, 252 were killed in battle or died of wounds, and 401 were mustered out.
