FAYETTE COUNTY, OHIO - 175 and brass buttons—as knights of old, they pranced upon their pampered steeds, with the glitter of the polished saber, the waving white plumes, the brilliant sash and flashing epaulet, the proud recipients of many admiring smiles from fair ladies; while the stolid anti-bellum Ouaker, looking on, exclaimed with the sentiment of the frogs, 'It may be fun for you, but it is death to us.' " From muster-roll of the Third Company, odd battalion, Third Brigade, of the militia of Ohio, we give a few of the names, which will be of local interest to many still residing- in this county, being, as they are, from well-known families for the most part : David Allen, lieutenant; George Allen, Elijah Allen, Larkin Asher, James Allen, John Alexander, Thomas Barton, Jesse Barton, George Basick, Peter Coon (fifer), Henry Coon, Abra-ham Coon, Michael Coon, Adam Coon, Armstead Carder, Thomas Cook, Robert Corbet, Isaac Dickason, Isaac Dickason, Jr., Enoch Harvey (ensign), James Harvey, James Henderson, Amos Hankins, Daniel Hinkle, John Herrod, Michael Hawk, Amos Harris, Samuel Herrod, Michael Hornbeck, George Jamison, George Kyle, James Kerr, Richard M.

FAYETTE COUNTY IN THE CIVIL WAR. In the Civil War Ohio was notably loyal. Her sons had descended from brave sires of the Revolution and the War of 1812-14 with the mother country. She was for the Union, first, last and all the time! The fire of patriotism was lighted in every loyal heart within the limits of the county. The total number of men from Ohio who enlisted during the Civil war was 3[9,659, while the total number of enlistments during the entire period of the war was 425,147. Not alone did her brave sons and fathers go forth, taking their lives in their hands, but also the women—the mothers and sisters —did their part heroically, and urged their fathers and brothers and sons to rush immediately to the rescue of the Stars and Stripes, then being trampled in the dust by Southern traitors. Early during the year 1861 recruiting was being carried on in this county. The echo of Fort Sumter's thundering shots were heard from ocean . 176 - FAYETTE COUNTY, OHIO to ocean, a part of that sound reverberating over the hills and valleys plains of Fayette county. The first events in Washington C. H., connected with the opening the Civil War transpired on April 18th, four days after Fort Sumter was fired on. The county commissioners appropriated the sum of forty dollars, with which to purchase a United States flag to be unfurled over the court house. The same day was announced the first call for troops by President Lincoln, who believed, with others, that seventy-five thousand for three months would be a sufficient number of soldiers to quell the rebellion at the South. One paragraph in the Herald, on April 18th, read : "As to the flag of the Union—it shall proudly float over 'the land of the free and the home of the brave' at any sacrifice of blood." LINCOLN'S PROCLAMATION. April 18, 1861, the Herald published the following Presidential proclamation : "Washington, Dist. Col., April 14—Whereas, the laws of the United States have been, and are now opposed in several states by combinations too powerful to be suppressed in the ordinary way, I therefore call forth the militia of the several States of the Union to the aggregate number of seventy-five thousand, to suppress said combination and execute the laws I appeal to every loyal citizen to facilitate and aid this effort to maintain the laws and integrity of the National Union and the perpetuity of popular government and repress wrongs that have long been endured. The first service assigned to the forces will be to re-possess the forts, places and property that have been seized from the Union. "The utmost care will be taken, consistent with the subject, to avoid devastation and destruction or interference with property of peaceful citizens in any part of the country; the aforesaid combination to disperse within twenty days from date. T hereby convene both Houses of Congress, for the fourth day of July, 1861, to determine upon measures which the public safety and interests demand. (Signed) "ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President. "By W. H. SEWARD, Secretary of State." FAYETTE COUNTY, OHIO - 177 GREAT MASS MEETING. On April 20, 1861, there was held an immense mass-meeting at the court home. Two thousand citizens met to organize for the equipment of volunteers, who should respond to the President's call for seventy-five thousand man. Major Mathew Jones was chairman; John P. Blue, David Miller, Jesse Rowe, Alexander McCoy, Mathias Vandeman and Isaac Jenkins, vice-presidents; James P. Robinson, secretary. J. J. Worthington made a thrilling speech, after which the following befitting resolutions were offered and passed : "Resolved, that a subscription paper be now circulated for the purpose of raising money to equip and forward the volunteers of the company now required from this county to aid the government. "Resolved, that a committee of five from each township be appointed to solicit subscriptions to a war fund, for the purpose of sustaining such volunteers as may be required of this county by the government and for the sustaining of their families who may need such support. "Resolved, that Peter Wendel, Sr., James Pursell and William McElwain be appointed a committee to receive such contributions, and pay out the same as necessity may require." The war proceeded and after the great battle of Pittsburg Landing the patriotic citizens of Washington C. .H., sent two men, with donations of sixty-five dollars, to care for the wounded on that battlefield who were soldiers from Fayette county. Ladies' aid and soldiers' relief societies were promptly organized. The work performed by such societies bespoke the genuine patriotism and loyalty, as well as liberality, of the citizens of this county. The ladies were fully as enthusiastic as the men. With the poet, they declared, "Then take your gun and go! Yes, take your gun and go, For Ruth can drive the oxen, John, And I can use the hoe." The record shows that up to Marcia Jo, 1864, there had been sent from the various townships of Fayette county men as follows : Jefferson, 397; Paint, 261; Madison, 187; Marion, 113 ; Union, 489; Wayne, 113 ; Concord, 155; Jasper, 270 Green, 134; Perry, 191, making a total of 1,430, and still there was a call for more men from the county and it required 114 more to (12) 178 - FAYETTE COUNTY, OHIO. fill up the quota to that date, according to the requirements of the proposed draft set for March, 1864. Up to May, 1864, there had been raised by donations, etc. in this county the sum of $2,495 toward the bounty fund. In 1864 a beautiful sword was presented by the good citizens of Bloomingburg and vicinity, through Mrs. James M. Edwards, to Col. C. Garis, of the Sixty-seventh Regiment. It was presented at the fair grounds and was responded to by the gallant Colonel in truly befitting words. REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS. The official records at Washington, D. C., show that in 1840 the fol1lowing Revolutionary soldiers were on the pension rolls in Fayette county, Ohio : Union Township—Felix McElhaney, aged ninety years ; Ralph Boon aged ninety-five years ; Charles Sexton, aged seventy-eight years. Concord Township—John Newlin, aged ninety-seven years; Thomas Crawford, aged eighty-seven years. Jefferson Township—Adam Allen, aged eighty-one years; George Rupert, aged eighty-four years. Green Township—John Priddy, aged eighty-two years; Jesse Rowe aged eighty-six years. MEMORIAL HALL. Ohio cares for her defenders, and one instance is the fine Memorial Hall erected on East Court street, at Washington C. H. A few years ago, the matter of erecting a soldiers' monument in this city was discussed by the county authorities, but finally it was decided to spend the money in erecting a structure in which the remaining Civil-war veterans, the Sons of Veterans, and the auxiliary Relief Corps might have a comfortable resting place and assembly home in their declining years. Monuments are good to show the true spirit of a county, but much more so is the building of such a hall, for it is more useful and practical, both today and in the future. This property, which was erected by Fayette county, is the second and third stories of a beautiful, modern brick block. The first floor occupied by the soldiers of is divided into a large front room, used for a "rest room" for soldiers of any American wars. It fronts the street, is well lighted and the whole building is heated by steam, at a cost of four hundred dollars per year. The room just named has easy chairs and lounging places, free to all, and its walls are FAYETTE COUNTY, OHIO - 179 artistically decorated with military pictures, including an heroic portrait in oil of of Gen. Phil Sheridan. This was donated by Charles Allen, of the city. Then there are shelves and cases in which quite a military library is kept for public use. On the same floor is the spacious Grand Army room, which is well furnished, being one of the best in Ohio. At the rear of the building (on this floor) is one of the largest halls in the state. It is really the "Memorial Hall" itself, for here one finds on either of the four walls pure white Italian marble tablets, set permanently in the walls, and these number in all forty-one and cost (duty taken off by Congress) laid down by the contractors, one hundred and twenty-one dollars each, making almost five thousand dollars for all. On these tablets are inscribed the names, regiment and company of 2,662 Fayette county soldiers. This hall is about sixty by eighty-five feet, with self-supporting ceilings. It is seated with six hundred opera chairs. This is the meeting place for all military gatherings, including the memorial and decoration services. The boys who "wore the loyal blue" meet here, march to the cemetery and, after decorating their comrades' graves, return and are served with a dinner by the Relief Corps ladies. This occurs with each annual return of this sacred day. Going to the third story of the structure (second of the soldiers' rooms), one finds a hall sixty-five by eighty-five feet, with a splendid hardwood floor, designed, originally, for the drill service of the National Guard. Here the men generally gather for any public purpose which comes up in the county. Here, also, the Relief Corps assemble and do their work, including cooking and serving meals. All in all, this memorial is superior to almost any in the country, and is duly appreciated by the old soldiers and those of the Spanish-American war as well. The Sons of Veterans have the use of the Grand Army hall and are very strong in Washington C. H. and Fayette county, generally, as is also the Woman's Circle. When the marble tablets were ordered, it was intended by the committee to use a few for the surviving Confederate soldiers who were then residents of this county, but a better judgment prevailed and they are to contain the names of county officers. In fact, the Confederates themselves did not care to advertise themselves as having fought in the "Lost Cause." The following are the inscriptions on these memorial tablets :  180 - FAYETTE COUNTY, OHIO. THIRTEENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY. James S. Buzick, sergeant major; William H.

In 1898 a crisis in Cuban affairs, due to Spain's wretched and inhuman treatment of her colonists there, brought on war with the United States, known as the Spanish-American War, which, though it lasted only one hundred and fourteen days, was very decisive in its results. During that brief conflict the United States land and sea forces destroyed two Spanish fleets, received the surrender of more than thirty-five thousand Spanish soldiers, took by conquest the islands of Cuba and Porto Rico, and Manila, on the island of Luzon, in the Philippines, and so convinced the Spanish government that further prosecution of the war was unwise that terms of peace were asked for. President McKinley demanded the independence of Cuba, the cession of Porto Rico and Guam, one of the Ladrone islands, to the United States, and the retention of Manila by the United States pending the final disposition of the Philippines by a joint commission. By the terms of the final peace treaty, which was concluded in Paris, Spain relinquished her sovereignty over Cuba, ceded to us her other West India possessions and the island of Guam, and transferred her rights in the Philippines for the sum of twenty millions of dollars. The total number of United States troops engaged in this war was 274,717 and the approximate cost of the war was $150,000,000. The Americans suffered no loss of ships and but two hundred and seventy-nine lives, while two thousand one hundred and ninety-nine Spaniards were killed, besides the almost total annihilation of her navy. Fayette county had a part in this war, Company E, of the Fourth Ohio
