During his residence here he acquired a good practice and an enviable reputation for character and ability. Leaving here, he moved to Delaware, Ohio, from which county he was elected a State senator, and soon after was elected a judge of the court of common pleas.


CHARLES E. DELEPLANE, W. F. HURST, and FESTUS WALTERS, have been in practice for about the same length of time in this county. Mr. Deleplane is just closing his second term as prosecutor of the county. They are in fair practice.

CHAPTER XVIII.


SOCIETIES.


THE LOGAN HISTORICAL SOCIETY.


One of the oldest societies in which Franklin and Pickaway counties had an interest, and one which has an especial importance, as its name is a memorial of the celebrated Mingo chief, and as it formed a connecting link between the old colonial times and the present era, was The Logan Historical Society, organized July 28, 1841, upon the " classic ground," at the historical village of Westfall, Pickaway county. Before an assemblage of pioneers and citizens convened at that place, upon the time mentioned, Judge Corwin, of Portsmouth, a pioneer of the eighteenth century, in a short, impressive speech, stated that, from the best information he possessed, the spot where they were assembled was the same as that where " Logan, the Mingo chief, the Indian philantrophist, and friend of the white man, delivered his celebrated speech sent to Lord Dunmore, creditable to mankind, and honorable to him and his nation." The venerable pioneer concluded by proposing " that, as if listening to the speech, the people should uncover their heads, and resolve themselves into a society, determined to perpetuate these principles for which Logan suffered the sneers of his red brethren, by the erection of a monument to his memory, and by careful collection, safe keeping, and lasting preservation, for the use of posterity, the many scattered, but interesting, fragments of the early settlements of the western country, as well as what remains of the early settlements of North America."


It was unanimously resolved that such a society should be formed, and an organization was immediately effected by the election of Felix Renick, of Ross county, as chairman, and John S. Williams, of Chillicothe, as secretary, A name was then chosen, and a set of resolutions was drawn up, declaring the intention of the society to erect a monument to the memory of Logan, upon the very spot which the best evidence should indicate as the one where his speech was delivered, or as near it as a suitable situation could be procured. It was also designed to engrave upon the monument, Jefferson's version of the speech, and take other means to perpetuate and honor the memory of Logan. The resolutions further indicated the plan intended for the preservation of matters of local history. It was further resolved that a committee of three, from each county represented in the assemblage, be appointed as an executive committee for such county, to give special aid and attention to the plan of carrying out the objects of the society. In accordance with the


HISTORY OF FRANKLIN AND PICKAWAY COUNTIES, OHIO - 101


resolution, these were appointed: Hon. George Corwin, Hon. William Oldfield and Moses Gregory, esq., for Scioto county ; Hon. Samuel Reed, Hon. John I. Van Meter and John Carolus, esq., for Pike county; Wm. M. Aderson, Owen T. Reeves, esq., and Colonel John Maderia, for Ross county; Wm B. Thrall, esq., Philo N. White, esq., and Dr. M. Brown, for Pickaway county; and Hon. Gustavus Swan, Noah H. Swayne and John H. Miller, esqs., for Franklin county.


The society never accomplished the prime object for which it was organized—that of erecting a monument to the memory of Logan; but it was through the society's efforts that the Western Pioneer was started—a publication which saved from oblivion much valuable local history.


CENTRAL OHIO BEE-KEEPERS' ASSOCIATION:


This large and useful organization came into being on the ninth of March, 1878. It is composed of ladies and gentlemen who have an interest in bee-keeping, and at present has a membership of about one hundred and twenty-five persons. The counties represented in the association are: Franklin, Pickaway, Fairfield, Ross, Hocking and Fayette, though it is permissible for those of other counties to join. Article II of the Constitution, adopted April 6, 1878, reads as follows, showing the aim of the organization:


"The object of this association shall be the promotion of scientific bee-culture, by forming a strong bond. of union among bee-keepers, laying aside all conflicting interests. All subjects for discussion shall be brought before the convention, at the proper time, by the business officers, their decision, however, being subject to the usual appeal to the association."


Monthly meetings have been held by the association since its organization, in various places, in, the several counties represented in the membership. The discussions have been interesting, and have resulted in the dissemination of a great amount of useful knowledge. It is a notable fact that the bee-culture has been largely extended in central Ohio, through the influence of the association, and that the production of honey is becoming an important industry. Many are keeping bees now who never kept them before, and improved varieties, as well as the most approved hives, and other appliances, are coming into general use.


The original officers of the organization were as follows: W. H. Nicholson, president; J. 0. B. Renick, Franklin county; Dr. L. D. Vernon, Pickaway county ; Milo Rockwell, Fayette county; Samuel Barr, Fairfield county; Joshua Seney, Ross county; B. Strock, Hocking county, vice-presidents; Samuel D. Riegel, secretary; N. Julien, treasurer.


Following are the names of the present officers : N. Julien, president; J. W. Newlove, Franklin county; T. R. Bruner, Pickaway county; Samuel Barr, Fairfield county; Milo Rockwell, Fayette county; B. Strock, Hocking county; Joshua Seney, Ross county, vice-presidents; Dr. L C. Vernon, corresponding secretary.; Samuel D. Riegel, recording secretary; N. W. Julien, treasurer.


FRANKLIN COUNTY PIONEER ASSOCIATION:


Agreeably to a call issued in the papers by Jesse Baughman, a number of the oldest residents of Franklin county met at the fair grounds, in Columbus, June 2, 1866, and took the initial step in organizing the Franklin County Pioneer Association. J. E. St. Clair was made chairman. of the meeting, and Henry Ridenour, secretary. On motion, P. H. Olmstead, David Taylor, Alexander Moobery, George Williams, George Taylor, and J. E. St. Clair, were appointed a committee to draw up a constitution and series of by-laws for the society. The meeting then adjourned, to meet again at the City Hall, in Columbus, on the twenty-third of June. Upon that day the old residents, who had become interested in the matter, assembled, pursuant to adjournment, J. E. St. Clair, president, in the chair.. Col. Olmstead, chairman of the committee appointed for that purpose, presented a constitution and set of by-laws, which, immediately upon being read, were accepted and approved. The constitution provided that the body should be known as the Franklin County Pioneer Association; that the officers should consist of a president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer; that the object of the association should be the promotion of good fellowship, and the preservation of historical matter; that all citizens of Franklin county, either male or female, who had been residents of the same for forty years, or more, should be entitled to membership upon 'signing, and thereby complying with, the provisions of the constitution; that meetings should be held at such time and place as the by-laws should prescribe, and that the fee for admission should be, for males, fifty cents. . The bylaws further provided that an annual due of fifty cents should be paid; that ten members should constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; that each member should prepare a paper, giving his or her name, parentage, time and place of birth, date of first settlement in county, facts of subsequent residence, embracing, also, the names of other prominent early settlers of his or her vicinity, together with such other facts and incidents as might be considered of interest and worthy of preservation. The by-laws further proclaimed the intention of the association to attend the funerals of members, and made it obligatory upon the secretary to prepare obituary notices of deceased members, and keep a record of the same.


The members of the association present, and who signed the constitution, were, G. H. Griswold, J. D. Ball, Jesse Baughman, David Beers, John Saul, David Taylor, Christian Hoyl, Alexander Moobery, William Ross, P. H. Olmstead, Hugh McMaster, Harvey Coe, Abraham Johnson, J. T. Britton, J. E.

The Franklin County Pioneer association has had an active, flourishing 'existence from the first. The little band of early settlers, who. were its original members, was soon swelled to a goodly number, and the interest in- the organization was never suffered" to seriously abate. New accessions were made at every meeting, as the object of the association became- more widely known, .and the organization soon numbered among: its members a large proportion of- the pioneers residing in the county. The constitution was so amended as to allow all who were residents of Franklin county, and who had lived in the State more than forty years, to become Members. Annual picnics have been -held at the fair grounds, which have been occasions of rare-pleasure to the pioneers, who have renewed their old acquaintances, and lived over, in imagination, the perils, the privations and the pleasures of their early- years. These annual gatherings have been addressed by eminent men, so that, they have been interesting, alike to old, and young, and have proved valuable to both classes.


THE SCIOTO VALLEY PIONEER ASSOCIATION


was organized August 3o, 1879, as an auxiliary to the Franklin County Pioneer association. The organization was effected at a picnic gathering of old settlers, at Abram Sells' grove, six miles north of Columbus, and the following officers were elected : David Thomas, president, Fletcher Sells, vice-president; Abram -Sells, secretary'; W.

fill the vacancy. In accordance with an act of the legislature, passed in 1846, and entitled ".an act to encourage agriculture," this official drew from the county treasury two hundred dollars.

In 1852, the directors began planning to secure grounds, and made the first purchase, eight acres of ground, from Samuel Burr. From this time up to i868, the association continued to purchase lands in parcels, ranging from two to forty acres, and, at last', succeeded in perfecting the present ample and beautiful grounds, containing. about ninety-six acres, and situated upon east Broadway. The largest piece of ground was bought of David Taylor, sr. Improvements were made almost every year, but most extensively in 1873, and the-following year, when an arrangement was made with the States Fair association to hold its five succeeding and successive fairs upon , the Franklin county grounds. Later, an arrangement was made for holding the State fair of 1879 and 188o upon the same grounds. The grounds and buildings of the Franklin County Agricultural association are now valued at one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, the improvements having cost nearly one-third of that sum. Following are the officers for the year 1879: Gen. Charles C. Wolcutt, president ; William S. Shrum, vice-president; George Donaldson, secretary; N. A. Simms, treasurer ; Wm. H. Gaber, J. M.

Lunn, Jefferson township; James Thompson, Washington township, directors.


PICKAWAY COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY AND THE

FAIR GROUND ASSOCIATION,


In June, 1833, the county commissioners gave notice fora meeting to organize the Pickaway County Agricultural society, which was organized, the same month, by the election of the following officers: Thomas Renick, president; Thomas Huston, vice-president; William P. Darst, recording secretary ; Samuel S. Denny, corresponding secretary; Matthew McCrea, treasurer; William Miller, William Renick, jr., Elias Florence, George Radcliff, Peter Parcels, Robert Campbell, directors.


The early records of the society were destroyed, and what has been given in regard to the organization, was found only after long search in the old files of the Herald.


The fair grounds, upon which the society holds its annual exhibitions, are located just north of the center of Circleville; are naturally well adapted to the use to which they are put, and have been tastefully and judiciously improved, so that they are second to none in this part of the State, excepting, perhaps, the grounds at Columbus, where the State fair is annually held, and which have been fitted up at a very great expense. A vast, natural amphitheater forms a valuable and distinctive feature in the grounds at Circleville, and they are rendered additionally attractive by the numerous stately trees which shade the gentle slopes and the driveways.


In 1853 the officers of the Pickaway County Agricultural society were: Joseph B. Renick, president; M. Brown, vice-president; P. K. Hull, secretary; George W. Gregg, treasurer.; and the managers were, Nelson Franklin, A. S. Terrill, Felix W. Renick, George Metzgar, and Joseph Shoemaker. At .a meeting of the managers, held during this year, it was determined that -a fair ground should be purchased, and M. Brown and P. Hull were instructed to devise a plan for the purchase of the same. This was the beginning of the project which ended in securing the grounds at present in use. But little was done, however, until 1858, when the Fair Ground association was organized, and soon after that event the grounds were purchased. This organization was effected by the election of a board of five trustees—D. M. Brown, A. L. Perrill, Harness Renick, George W. Gregg, and Nelson J. Turney. Mr. Brown was chosen president, and Mr. Gregg secretary. These officers have held their positions ever since, and had charge of the affairs of the Fair Ground association, leasing the property under their control to the Agricultural society. The capital stock of the association was fixed at two thousand five hundred dollars, in shares of ten dollars each.


The Agricultural society of Pickaway county is in a flourishing condition, and its annual fairs are valuable exhibitions, and largelyattended. Following are its present officers: Dill Weigand, president; C. F. Machir, vice-president; E. K. Rife, secretary; S. L. Grigsby, treasurer. The directors are: L. D. Riegel, Salt Creek; C. F. Machir, Pickaway; J. H. Bortz, Washington; William S. Raber, Walnut; Z. H. Perrill, Madison; Dill Weigand, Harrison; D. M. Welch, Scioto; J. H. Allen, Darby; D. D. Hewitt, Monroe; F. M. Black, Muhlenburgh; M. V. B. Lindsey, Jackson; Jacob Hedges, Wayne; . Robert Campbell, Deer Creek; Scott Beaty, Perry; W. E. Bolin, Circleville.


PICKAWAY COUNTY HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.


The Pickaway County Horticultural society was organized August 29, 1874; at a meeting of which M.E. Dresbach was president, and W. F. Hurst, secretary. These gentlemen were elected to their respective positions the board of officers for that year, at the next meeting, Norman Julian being made vice-president, Cyrus Court-right, treasurer, and David McHenry, librarian.


The society has numbered, in all, some. hundred and fifty members, and has accomplished much in the way of directing attention to the care of fruit, and emulation in cultivating fine varieties. In 1878, under their auspices, the county took the State Fair Association premium for . best county. collection of .apples, seventy varieties.


For the past two years the meetings have been social


HISTORY OF FRANKLIN AND PICKAWAY COUNTIES, OHIO - 105


basket meetings, held at the residences of members, in town and county. A good feature is the bringing of sample fruits to be discussed, and new varieties to be named. Many piquant and profitable discussions are held.


The present board of officers are, S. D. Riegel, president; N. Julian, vice-president; Mrs. A. R. Van Cleaf, treasurer; Hon. A. R. Van Cleaf and Miss Lillie C. Darst, secretaries.


THE PICKAWAY COUNTY BIBLE SOCIETY.


The early records of this society were lost, but we are enabled to glean, from the semi-centennial address, delivered by John A. Lutz, some facts of interest. His source of information was the files of the Olive. Branch. The society, it appears, was organized in August, 1828, at a meeting composed of delegates from local societies, which had previously been organized in some of the townships.. The Rev. William Burton, of Circleville, was elected chairman of the meeting, and William B. Thrall, editor of the Olive Branch, secretary.


After the adoption of the constitution, permanent officers were elected, as follows: Guy W. Doane, president; Rev. William Burton, Rev. Jacob Leist, Rev. Henry King, Rev. Shadrach. Cole and William Renick, esq., vice-presidents; Joseph Olds, corresponding secretary; John 'F. Davenport, recording secretary; Matthew McCrea, treasurer and depositor; A. S. Davenport, Isaac Bradley, Jacob Lindsey, James Ferbert, James Bell, James McCoy, John Thompson, Peter Miller, John Cochran, William Foreman, William B. Thrall, and William Tallman, managers.


These officers, says Mr. Lutz, in his address, were men of sterling worth, high in intellectual and moral culture. The fact that they were all re-elected, for a number of years, fully attests their efficiency, and the respect in which they were held by the society. They were finally succeeded by an entire new corps of officers, among whose names could be found those of P. B. Doddridge, president; R. D. Atwater, secretary, and Henson Rock, treasurer. During the past twenty-five years the society has had, as its presidents, John Lynch, Dr. M. Brown, Adam McCrea, and John A. Lutz, the present incumbent.


The present officers are the following: J. A. Lutz, president; A. Nonamaker, vice-president; L. D. Lyon, recording secretary; C. S. LeBaron, corresponding secretary; S. Miller, treasurer; H. R. Clarke, 0. Ballard, jr., D. Bloyner, Samuel Denman, S. Ward, L. Kent, F. Rudy, C. A. Helwagen, W. B. Marfield, B. H. Moore, George Viney, and James Wright, directors.

AN OLD TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION.


In May, 1833, "an Association of Teachers and Board of Education in Pickaway county," was organized, of which Guy W. Doane was president; Joseph Olds, vice-president; Arthur Whiteside, secretary; Sylvester Dana,


106 - HISTORY OF FRANKLIN AND PICKAWAY COUNTIES, OHIO.


treasurer, and S. Dana, Roswell Hill, Archibald U. Boalse, George A. Patterson and A. Whiteside, counsellors. The object of the association was to promote harmony, cooperation and the diffusion of knowledge among the members. Its meetings are held quarterly.


CHAPTER XIX.


MILITARY RECORD.


To narrate the many acts of heroic devotion to the Union, evinced by the inhabitants of the counties of Franklin and Pickaway, during those terrible years of the Rebellion, would require a volume in itself. Columbus and vicinity have furnished the location of many schools, where was taugh the " dread art of war." Even as early as 1812, we find an extensive encampment located near the then flourishing village of Franklinton. Later, during the Mexican war, a camp of rendezvous was established near Columbus, and last, in 1861, we find the Capitol city nearly surrounded by them. Early in the summer of this year, the lands comprised in what is now the beautiful retreat called Goodale park, were occupied as a military rendezvous, styled Camp Jackson, and here were organized and drilled the first troops who went to war from this section.


Camp Chase was next formed. It was situated on the National road, some four miles from the city, in Franklin township, and, after it was ready for occupancy, Camp Jackson was abandoned.

Camp Chase became, from a simple place of rendezvous, quarters for paroled prisoners of war, and, later, great numbers of rebel prisoners were kept in confinement here. This was one of the most complete camps in the State, and was in use until the close of the war.


Another camp (Thomas) was established at a point near the Worthington road, and distant some four miles from the city. It was first occupied by the Eighteenth regiment United States infantry, commanded by Colonel H. B. Carrington.


Tod Barracks, named in honor of Ohio's patriotic governor, David Tod, were constructed in the fall of 1863. The location was on the east side of High street, and north of the railroad depot. They were for the accommodation of sick or disabled soldiers and recruits, and were subsequently the rendezvous of military organizations, awaiting muster out.


The United States garrison, situated northeast of, and some two miles from, the State house, was occupied by the United States, during the war, as an arsenal. The troops stationed here at present, are under the command of Colonel Anderson, of the United States army.


The Soldiers' home, located in Columbus, was established April 22, -1862, by, and under the supervision of, the Soldiers' Aid society. It was of great benefit to the needy soldier, whether clad in the blue or the gray. It closed, May 7, 1866, and the buildings, furniture, etc., were donated to the Hannah Neil mission—Ohio Soldiers' home. In the spring of 1864, the government erected buildings, some twenty in number, near the crossing of the Columbus & Xenia railroad, on the State quarry tract. These were denominated Tripler hospital, and in the fall of 1865, they were, donated to the State for a soldiers' home. This was, we learn, the nucleus of the present establishment at Dayton.


The Ladies' Soldiers' Aid society was formed in the of 1861, as an auxiliary to the National Sanitary commission at Washington. It was eminently a success. Thousands of our brave boys at the front, in the field, and in the hospital, were made more comfortable through the patriotic efforts of the ladies composing this society.


At Circleville, a society of the same nature, toiled early and late for the soldier.


During the memorable raid of the rebel John Morgan through Ohio, in the summer of 1863, which eventually resulted in his capture, in Columbiana county, a great number of men turned out from Franklin and Pickaway counties to aid in the defence of points it was believed he would attack, and though theirs was a blodless campaign, yet they are entitled to credit for their ready response to the call. Many interesting incidents, ludicrous and otherwise, might be given, but space forbids.


The rallying of the squirrel hunters, in the autumn of 1862, was another instance illustrating the readiness with. which the citizens of Ohio sprang to the defence of the flag. The writer is unable to give the number who participated from the counties of Franklin and Pickaway, but he is informed there were several hundred of them.


The descriptions following are compiled from the valuable work, by Whitelaw Reid, entitled "Ohio in the War." The roster is prepared in the office of the adjutant-general of the State of Ohio, and the names are copied verbatim, hence the writer cannot be responsible for errors in spelling. In addition to the rolls, the writer has availed himself of all the aids within his reach, to make the roster complete, showing the name of every soldier, of whatever rank, enrolled from the two counties. Some ten thousand names are given, and it is hoped none are omitted, though, from the imperfect condition of the rolls, and the carelessness in recording credits, it is highly probable that omissions occur.


WAR OF 1812.


The following is copied from a muster roll now preserved in the office of the adjutant-general of Ohio, of Captain George. Sanderson's company. This was recruited in the counties of Franklin, Fairfield, and Delaware, but as we have no means by which to designate those from each county, we give the roll entire. It was attached to the Twenty-seventh regiment United States infantry, commanded by Colonel George Paul, and formed a part of General Harrison's army at the defence of Fort Stephenson, and was in the disastrous -battle of the Thames, October 5, 1813 :

SECOND REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.


This regiment was organized at Camp Dennison, in August and September, 1861. Before this period, it was in the three months service, participating in the first "flurry" of war around Washington city. In the organization for three years, the majority of the field, line and staff had seen three months' service.


In September, 1861, the regiment, with a full complement of officers, and over nine hundred men, moved, by order of General O. W. Mitchell, to Olympian Springs, in eastern Kentucky. This was the first regiment of national troops in that portion of the State, and the good behavior of the soldiers -of the Second regiment did much to remove -the general opinion that the "yankees" were anything except honorable.


On the twenty-second of October, the regiment made a forced night march, of nearly thirty miles, surprising, and totally defeating the rebels, under Jack May. The rebel loss, in killed and wounded, was considerable, while the Second came off unharmed.


Subsequently, the regiment joined the command of General Nelson, and was in the movement on Preston-burg, and the repulse of the rebels at Ivy Mountain, in which it lost two men killed, and seven wounded. From here the Second repaired to Louisville, where it was brigaded, and attached to the division of General 0. M. Mitchell.


The winter of 1861-2 was passed in perfecting themselves in drill, preparatory to the arduous work before them.


In February, 1862, the division, Major-general B. C. Buell commanding, moved on Bowling Green, Gallatin and Nashville, occupying the last-named place. When, on march, General Buell's army moved to the assistance of General Grant, at Pittsburgh Landing, the Second Ohio moved, with its division, on Murfreesboro, Shelbyville, Fayetteville, and Huntsville, and engaged in several small affairs with the enemy, along the Memphis & Charleston railroad. The regiment was also with. the column that first occupied Bridgeport.


On Bragg's invasion of Kentucky, the Second Ohio, then stationed at Battle Creek, Tennessee, moved across the mountains, to Louisville, where the army was organized. The Second Was assigned to Rosseau's division, in General McCooks left wing, and, with two divisions of that command, participated in the well-contested battle of Perryville, or Chaplin Hills, losing, on the 8th of October, nearly forty per cent. of all engaged. Captains Berryhill and Herel, and twenty-seven enlisted men, were killed, and Captains. Beatty, Maxwell and McCoy, and eighty-seven enlisted men, wounded. Our army pursued the flying rebels as far as Crab Orchard, and returned to Nashville. General Wm: S. Rosecrans, succeeding Buell in command, changed the name of the department to the "Army of the Cumberland." Subsequently, the division to which the Second Ohio was attached, was assigned to the Fourteenth army corps, General George H. Thomas, commanding, where it 'remained up to the battle of Atlanta, participating in all the marches and battles of that distinguished. corps. At the battle of Stone River, December 31, 1862, the Second was closely en-* gaged, and suffered serious loss. In this action the regiment captured the colors of the Thirty-second regiment Arkansas volunteers. "'Chickamauga was the next battleground. In- this hotly-contested engagement, the regiment lost one hundred and eighty-three officers and men, killed, wounded and missing.


Falling back into the intrenchments, they remained until November 24, 1862, when the brigade to which the Second Ohio was attached was sent to the assistance of General Hooker, participated, on Lookout mountain, in his celebrated battle above the clouds. In the battle of Mission Ridge, which occurred on the succeeding day, the regiment' made its way to the crest, with slight* loss, and captured the, colors of the Thirty-eighth .Alabama. The enemy was pursued to Ringgold, Georgia, where a halt was made. The regiment was in the advance in the reconnoissance to Buzzard's.Roost, in February, 1864:


In May, following, the regiment formed a portion of Sherman's force for the Atlanta campaign, and on the fourteenth of that month, at Resaca, suffered heavily in an attempt to carry, by assault, the enemy's, intrenched Position, losing Captain Jacob Fottrell, and-twelve men; killed, and Captains Staley and Mitchell, and twenty-seven men, wounded.


The regiment next moved with the division to the Ghattahootchie river, and on July .2.1, 1864, took part in the battle of Peachtree creek. Here First Lieutenant and Adjutant John W. Thomas was killed, the last man of the regiment to offer up his life for the flag.


The regiment remained in front of Atlanta until August 1864, when it was ordered to Chattanooga, for final discharge, and some four weeks later was mustered out at Columbus, Ohio, having seen thirty-eight months of active service. The regiment's loss, killed in battle, one hundred and eleven ; wounded, four hundred and twenty-five.

THIRTEENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.


This regiment was organized at Camp Jackson, Columbus, in April, 1861, and on Thursday, May 9th, moved to Camp Dennison, where it was drilled and disciplined for the dread labor of war. June 30th. it embarked for


HISTORY OF FRANKLIN AND AND PICKAWAY COUNTIES, OHIO - 113


Western Virginia, to reinforce McClellan's command. September Toth, Colonel Smith led his regiment in the battle of Carnifax Ferry, occupying the extreme left, where a good record was made for the command, after which the regiment encamped at 'Gauley Bridge until November 6th, when it began the pursuit of the rebel Floyd. The first brush occurred at Cotton Hill, where the regiment lost one killed and two wounded. The chase was continued to Fayetteville, and, having driven the rebels from Western Virginia, the troops were ordered .west, the Thirteenth going into camp opposite Louisville, Kentucky. The regiment finally moved to Bacon Creek, where it remained engaged in drill until February 10, 1862, when it marched to Bowling Green. From there it repaired to Nashville, encamping near the city. April 2d the regiment marched to reinforce General Grant, and reached Savannah, on the Tennessee river, on the morning of the 6th. It at once marched to the battle-field, and, with the Fifth division, formed on the right of Nelson's command. About eight o'clock the division moved forward. The enemy was soon found in position, supported by the famous Washington battery, of New Orleans. The Thirteenth charged on this battery, and after a desperate struggle, captured. it entire, but only to lose it, as the enemy, in large numbers, charged and re-took the pieces. Major Ben. P.. Runkle was severely wounded at this time. About one o'clock, in the last grand advance, the Thirteenth again dashed forward to capture the battery, and this time was successful. The enemy retreated, and the Thirteenth joined the advance on Corinth. After the evacuation of this point, the Union forces advanced against Chattanooga.


August loth orders were received to march in pursuit of Bragg, and this march made the Army of the Ohio a record as enduring as time. From August 21st to September 26th—a period of thirty-six days—the National soldiers patiently toiled on after the enemy, enduring the hot sun, almost unbearable thirst, half rations, and the stifling dust. What soldiers of the Thirteenth Ohio will ever forget this terrible march ? Reaching Louisville, on the 26th, a rest was had until the first of October, when the pursuit of Bragg was resumed.


October 8th the regiment was at Perryville, but was not actively engaged. December d the army was reviewed by General Rosecrans, near Nashville, and the Second was complimented by the general for their soldierly appearance. December 2 6, 1862, the advance on Murfreesboro was commenced. The Thirteenth was in Crittenden's division, and the next we see of it is at Stone river. Here, on Wednesday, December 31st, the regiment lost, in one hour's time, one hundred and fifty-two killed, wounded, and missing. The total loss in the series of battles at this point was one hundred and eighty-five. Now followed comparative inactivity until the battles of Chickamauga, and in these the regiment preserved, unsullied, its record made sacred at Stone River.


On the twenty-second of September the regiment skirmished the entire forenoon on Missionary Ridge,


- 15 -


withdrawing at noon to its former place, in the intrenchments of Chattanooga. November 23, the army moved to the expulsion of Bragg from the Ridge. 'History has already recorded the successful charge, that .swept the host down the mountains, across the valley, and converted its retreat into a shameful rout. In this charge the Thirteenth bore itself bravely, and, 'it is. claimed, was the first to plant the colors on the rebel work's. Sergeant Daniel Ritter, of Company A, was the first in the regiment to scale and enter the. fortifications. The losses were severe.


On the twenty-eighth of November the Thirteenth advanced, with the army, to the rescue of Knoxville. The enemy retreated, and were pursued to near. Church Mountain. This was a march of much suffering, for want of shoes and clothing, as well 'as rations. Returning to Knoxville, the regiment re-enlisted, as veterans, and the men were granted a furlough. Those who failed to become veterans, were transferred to the Fifty-ninth Ohio, then (January 28, 1864,) stationed at Marysville, near Knoxville.


The latter part of March, 1864, the regiment returned to duty, and was assigned to the Third brigade, Third division, and Fourth corps, in the Army of the Cumberland, then commanded by Major-General George H. Thomas.


May 1, 1864, the troops were ordered to prepare for the Atlanta campaign, and, on the third, struck tents and advanced against Ringgold, Georgia; then to Rocky Face ridge, and on to Resaca. In the engagements 'of this march the Thirteenth lost heavily. Still, the pursuit was continued until the rebels massed around Lost Mountain, and on May 27th the battle occurred. The Third division struck the enemy's center, and encountered breastworks gray with men and bristling with artillery. Our troops advanced, in three lines of battle, through a dense wood, and were met by a terrific discharge from the enemy, then but a few yards in advance. This destroyed the first line. The second. line, of which the Thirteenth formed a part, immediately advanced on the double-quick, and, with a yell and a volley, rushed. up to the works, and the contest continued from four o'clock in the afternoon until nine at night. Although our forces held the position, they were unable to capture the rebel works. The ammunition of the Thirteenth was exhausted, McCulloch was wounded, Thompson's right arm was shattered, and the killed and wounded were lying thickly around. Major J. T. Snyder, in command of the Thirteenth, still rallied the regiment, and, the ammunition becoming exhausted, he took that remaining in the boxes of the dead and wounded comrades, and distributed it with his own hands to the men. General Thomas finally ordered our forces to withdraw. The Thirteenth lost, in this engagement, fifty men, killed, wounded and prisoners.


June 21st, the. non-veterans were discharged; and the remainder of the regiment formed into a battalion of four companies, under command of Major Snyder, still retaining its endeared title, "Thirteenth," and retaining its position in the brigade.


At Kennesaw the Thirteenth was in the thickest of the

fight, losing a number in killed and wounded. Next at Atlanta, where the battalion did its full share, until the surrender. From this time forward the battalion was engaged with its division until June 16, 1865, when it was ordered to Texas, where it remained until December 5, 1865, when it was mustered out.

THIRTIETH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.


This regiment was organized at Camp Chase, Ohio, on the twenty-eighth day of August, 1861 ; was armed at once, and, on the thirtieth, ordered to the field. The next day found the regiment at Benwood, Virginia, and on the second of September it reached Clarksburg. Here an attack was expected, and company H was sent out to reconnoiter, but the enemy was not discovered. Late the same evening the regiment marched, and on the afternoon of the next day entered Weston and encamped beside the Forty-seventh Ohio, with the fortunes of which it was afterward closely allied. Here the regiment received its camp and garrison equipage. Two wagons were furnished each company, and these were deemed barely sufficient for transportation. In later years the men considered themselves fortunate if there was one wagon for the regiment. September 6th the regiment joined General Rosecrans at Sutton Heights, where companies D, F and G remained, the remainder of the regiment marching with the army toward Summerville. Companies C and E were left at Big Birch Bottoms, while the remaining five companies moved on to Carnifax Ferry, where a sharp engagement took place, the enemy retreating. A considerable amount of camp equipage, and some huge double-edged knives, with


116 - HISTORY OF FRANKLIN AND PICKAWAY COUNTIES, OHIO.


which one of the rebels was to annihilate five of the Yankees, fell into the. hands of the National army. A stand of colors, on which was inscribed " Floyd's Brigade"" The price of liberty is the blood of the brave," was secured by the Thirtieth. November 14th the regiment went into camp at Fayetteville. In the meantime the detachment at Sutton was frequently in expeditions 'against bushwhackers •and horse-thieves. Two men of the Thirtieth were killed and quite a number were wounded in the various skirmishes. On the twenty-third of December this detachment joined the regiment at Fayetteville, and on the twenty-fifth the regiment held its first dress parade. During the winter, which was wet and sickly, several companies were sent to outposts, and all worked upon fortifications. Company H, from Pick-away county, was sent to the White House, on Soup Creek road. April 17th the regiment broke camp and moved to Raleigh, and from there it marched, on May 5th, toward. Giles Court House.. On the tenth it encamped at ,the confluence of the East and New rivers: Company H was pushed up the Narrows, and succeeded in developing the enemy's position and drawing the fire of his batteries. For eight days the allowance of rations was one cracker, with a small quantity of sugar, coffee, beans and rice to each man. On August 16th the Thirtieth marched to join the army in eastern Virginia,and at noon on the nineteenth reached Brownstown, on the Kanawha, having carried knapsacks and marched ninety-five miles in three .days and a half. All were delighted to leave the mountains, and when the band.. played "Get out of the wilderness;"- as it came down Cotton Hill to the river, the deafening cheers that went up from the column showed that the hit was duly appreciated. Proceeding on transports to Parkersburg, the regiment took the cars for the east, and on August 23d passed through Washington city, encamping at night at Warrenton Junction, Virginia.


General Robertson says of the Thirtieth at Centerville: " It moved forward under a heavy fire from the enemy's batteries in as good order as if on parade."


At South Mountain, on September 14th, the regiment lay for several -hours under a 'terrific artillery fire," and at four o'clock in the afternoon advanced' against the enemy, who were intrenched behind a stone. wall. The " Gray-backs" advanced, and a hot engagement ensued, lasting forty-five minutes. The regiment stood its ground bravely, 'losing eighteen men killed, and forty-eight wounded.


September 17th the regiment was heavily engaged, losing two officers killed, two wounded, and forty-five privates killed and wounded. The National colors were torn in fourteen places by the enemy's balls, and two color bearers (Sergeants White and Carter) fell dead on the field.


After remaining a few days near. the battle-ground, the regiment moved' for -West Virginia, and on the tenth of October reached Hancock, on the Potomac, and for a time was engaged, almost daily, in fruitless marching. December 5th, the Thirtieth, with its brigade, embarked on transports, and steamed down the river, arriving at Louisville, Kentucky, January 3, 1863. It moved down the stream until it reached Helena, Arkansas, where it was assigned to the Second division of the Fifteenth army corps. January 21st, the regiment landed at Young's Point, and here it remained, engaged on the canal, and took part in numerous excursions into the surrounding country. Resuming the march, the regiment, on May 19th, arrived in the rear of Vicksburg, and from this time until its final capitulation, was. engaged in skirmish, picket and fatigue duty. After the surrender of Vicksburg, the regiment went into camp, July 23rd, near Black river. The losses of the Thirtieth, during the siege, were some sixty killed and wounded.


Leaving Black river, with the army, on September 26th, it moved up the river, to Memphis, where it arrived October 2d. Two days later it resumed the march, and on November loth it camped at Brown's Ferry, ten miles from Chattanooga. The twenty-fifth of the same month, it assaulted and carried the outer line of the enemy's works at Mission Ridge. From 'November 29th to December 19th, the regiment subsisted off the country, and were engaged nearly the entire time in pursuit Of the enemy. In addition, nearly one-fourth of the men were without shoes. In January, 1864, at Cleveland, Tennessee, the regiment re-enlisted, to the number of three hundred and fifteen men, and repaired to Columbus, where it was furloughed on the ninth of- April. On the expiration of the furlough, the regiment re-formed at Columbus; and proceeded, via Cincinnati, Louisville, Nashville and Chattanooga, to Kingston, Georgia, where it arrived May l0th. Three days later, the regiment was again on the march. It moved through Dallas and Ackworth; arriving at the foot of Kennesaw mountain June 19th. During this march the regiment was almost continually under fire. Early in July, the regiment moved to Atlanta, and on the twenty-second was in the assault, losing twenty-seven in killed, wounded and prisoners. On the twenty-eighth, the regiment sustained four successive charges, in which it lost thirty men in killed and wounded. The enemy abandoned a stand of colors, under the regiment's fire, and one hundred and five dead rebels were picked up in its immediate front. August 29, 1864, those who were not veterans were mustered .out, by reason of expiration of term of service, and from this time until August 13, 1865, at Louisville, Kentucky, the regiment was actively engaged in the defence of the starry ensign:


August 22, 1865, it was paid and discharged at Columbus, having traveled as a regiment, during its term of service, thirteen thousand, two hundred miles.

FORTY-SIXTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.


This regiment was recruited at Worthington, Franklin county, in the month of September, and was organized on October 16, 1861. On February 22, 1862, it reported at Paducah, Kentucky, with an aggregate of nine hundred and seventy-five men, and was brigaded with the Sixth Iowa and the Fortieth Illinois, in General Sherman's division.


On March 8th the regiment arrived at Savannah, and was engaged during the entire battle of Pittsburg Landing. Its loss was two hundred and eighty killed and wounded, and fifteen captured. The dead were conveyed to a spot a little to the south of the summit of the ridge overlooking Owl creek, immediately in front of the first line of battle, and near the Purdy road, and there interred in single graves, with the honors of war. April 27th, the regiment moved, with the army, upon Corinth. In November the regiment started on a campaign ..through Mississippi, under General Grant, but was obliged to return. Early in June the regiment joined in the siege of Vicksburg, and, after the surrender, moved in the direction of Jackson. October loth, the regiment, with the Fifteenth corps, embarked for Memphis, and from there marched to the relief of Chattanooga. At the battle of Mission Ridge, the regiment was heavily engaged, and lost many in killed and wounded. Soon after, it marched to Knoxville, and from there to Scottsboro', Alabama, .where it arrived December 31, 1863, having marched over five hundred miles in about two months, exposed to inclement weather, without tents, and almost without food and clothing. Here the regiment was armed with Spencer's repeating rifled muskets; and here, too, it re-enlisted as veterans. It was furloughed on March 3o, 1864, and, after an absence of thirty-eight days, it returned to its camp at Scottsboro'. On May 1st the regiment moved, by way of Chattanooga, to Resaca, where it was engaged on the 13th, 14th and 15th, with but small loss. From here the march was resumed to Dallas. In the engagements at this point the Spencer rifles caused such havoc, that ever after the Forty-sixth was known and dreaded throughout the opposing army.


Next the regiment participated in the battle of New Hope Church. The command gained a position within eighty yards of the enemy. Their fire was harassing the brigade greatly, and Colonel Walcutt, commanding, determined to gain the rebel line without loss. He arranged the brigade as for a charge, with flags flying, and all the buglers in the line. His men, who were well covered, were directed to bring their guns to bear along the enemy's parapet ; when the bugles sounded to forward, the enemy raised, as had been expected, to repel the _anticipated assault, but received, instead, a severe fire. The result was, the enemy abandoned the works in confusion,

and, during the night, withdrew. June 6th, the brigade passed through Ackworth, and went into bivouac until the ninth, when it went on a reconnoissance to Kenesaw, where it joined its division. June 15th, the Forty-sixth, with its brigade, supported by the two brigades of the division, was ordered to charge a line on a ridge some half a mile distant. This was done in gallant style. Twenty-two officers, four hundred men and six hundred stand of small arms were captured, and many of the enemy were killed and wounded. On the twenty-sixth, Walcutt's, and two brigades from General Smith's division, were detailed as a storming party. The Forty-sixth was in the advance of the movement. The heavy abatis of the enemy's main works was too cumbersome, and, after repeated and determined efforts, our men were obliged to withdraw. In this assault the Forty-sixth captured sixty prisoners, but its own loss, in killed and wounded was severe. After the evacuation of Kenesaw, the regiment moved for Atlanta, and, on the evening of the twentieth, went into line in front of the city.. Here it did gallant service. At Ezra Church the regiment was again engaged, capturing the colors of the Thirtieth Louisiana, with its colonel. Ten officers and fully one-half of the men of the rebel regiment were killed. The flag, which was a present from the ladies of New Orleans to the regiment, was presented by General Logan to its immediate captor, Harry Davis, and was contributed by him to the State of Ohio. It is now in the relic room of the State House, at Columbus.


August 3d the Forty-sixth, with details from other -regiments, was ordered to drive in, or capture, the enemy's outposts. The contest was severe, and resulted in the capture of about one hundred prisoners. At Jonesboro' the regiment charged the enemy's line, on the twenty-eighth, capturing four officers and fifty men. On the second of September the regiment captured the enemy's fortified skirmish line. At Lovejoy's station, the regiment had a hand to hand conflict, in which the enemy was forced. to retire, with a loss of about fifty prisoners. Next, the regiment moved against Hood, in northern Georgia and Alabama, after which it retired to the vicinity of Atlanta, where it arrived on November 5th. The regiment was at Raleigh when the news of the surrender of Lee's army was. received. It participated in the grand review at Washington, and was mustered out July 22, 1865.

SIXTY-FIRST REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.


This regiment was made up from almost every county in the State. Companies B and C were largely recruited from Pickaway county. It was organized at Camp Chase, April 23, 1862, and departed for Western Virginia May 27, 1862. One month later it joined Major-General Fremont's army at Strasburg, and marched with it to Sperryville, Virginia, where Major-General Pope assumed command of the army.


At Freeman's Ford, on the Rappahannock river, the Sixty-first had its first fight with the enemy—a part of Longstreet's corps. In the second Bull Run battle it covered the retreat of the National forces on the Centerville turnpike, toward Washington. In this engagement the Sixty-first lost twenty-five men, killed and wounded. September ad the regiment was engaged at Fairfax Court House, and eventually fell back to the chain bridge and formed a part of the reserve force, under General Siegel, for the protection of Washington. January 20, 1863, the regiment marched to Hartwood Church, and built winter quarters; but after occupying them one night they were abandoned, and the regiment marched to Stafford Court House, where it remained until April 27, 1863.


The Sixty-first then crossed the Rappahannock at Kelley's ford, and moved to the rear of the rebel position at Frederlcksburg, where it formed a connection with that portion of the National army which crossed the Rappahannock at United States Ford. It took position on the right, preparatory to the battle of Chancellorsville, which was opened at six o'clock on the evening of May 2d. The Sixty-first was engaged on the 2d, 3d, 4th, and 5th. It lost four officers wounded, a large number of men wounded, and five killed. June 12th it joined in pursuit of Lee's. rebel army, at that


124 - HISTORY OF FRANKLIN AND PICKAWAY COUNTIES, OHIO.


time making its way into Pennsylvania. It opened the battle of Gettysburg, on July 1st, and suffered severely, losing heavily in killed, wounded, and prisoners. Captain Bending and Lieutenant Mill were captured and kept in rebel prisons until the close of the war. October 27th the regiment started for Chattanooga, to aid in opening communication, by way o the Tennessee river, with that beleaguered city. On the night of the 28th it was engaged in a fierce fight at Wauhalchie valley, defeating and driving the rebels across Lookout creek. In this fight three were killed and a number wounded.


On the twenty-third, twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth of November the regiment was engaged in Mission Ridge fight, and on the twenty-ninth it marched with the National forces to the relief of Knoxville, after which it returned to Bridgeport, Tennessee, to winter quarters. In March, 1864, the Sixty first re-enlisted and was ordered to Ohio on its veteran furlough of thirty days. On April 28, 1864, the regiment. re-assembled at Camp Dennison, Ohio, and on the same day started for the front, reaching Chattanooga on the fifth of May. On Sunday, May 15th, the regiment participated in the bloody action at Resaca, losing several men. -From this time until November 15th the regiment was engaged in numerous actions and skirmishes, and lost many men in killed and wounded. November 15th it started with General Sherman's army in its " march to the sea." In this great march the regiment had but one skirmish with the enemy—at Sandersville, Georgia.. Aside from hard marches through. the swamps of South Carolina; nothing of interest occurred until Bentonville was reached. At this point the last. real battle of the march was fought. The Sixty-first Ohio performed its part in this battle, and lost some men wounded and captured.

Marching with the army, the regiment reached Coldsboro',. North Carolina, where it was consolidated with the Eighty-second Ohio, the combined .regiment taking the name of the latter-named organization. This act blotted from the rolls of the army the name of the Sixty-first Ohio, but it does remain on record. It was always a reliable regiment, and was always found where duty called it. Its losses by its casualties of the field were so numerous that at the close of its service a little band of only sixty.men and officers remained to answer to its last roll-call.

The consolidated regiment joined in the march through the rebel capital to Washington city, where it participated in the grand review, and, after a slight detention, was .sent home to Columbus and mustered out of the service about the first of September, 1865.
