CARROLL AND HARRISON COUNTIES - 295 CHAPTER XV MILITARY HISTORY PATRIOTISM OF HER PEOPLE-SOLDIERS OF THE REVOLUTIONARY STRUGGLE- THOSE WHO TOOK PART IN THE WAR OF 1812-14—THE PART TAKEN IN THE CIVIL WAR OF 1861-65—THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR-WORLD WAR OF 1914-18. To begin with, it should be stated in this chapter that the list of Revolutionary soldiers who were finally buried m Harrison County soil, near as can be discovered from government records and pension rolls published by the authority of Congress in 1835, is as follows: John Brannon, of the Pennsylvania line, aged eighty-nine years. Timothy Boyles, of the Delaware line, aged ninety-six years. Timothy Haley, of the Maryland line, aged seventy-four years. Thomas Johns, of the Virginia line, died July 13, 1828, aged seventy years. Neal Peacock, of the Maryland line, aged seventy-four years; died August 17, 1827. James Larkins, of the Pennsylvania line, died July 13, 1828, aged seventy years. John Parker, of the Pennsylvania line, aged sixty-eight years. Henry Rankin, of the Pennsylvania line, aged seventy-two years. In the government census for 1840, a list of pensioners was repaired and printed in the census returns. This gave the names of all then drawing pensions for Revolutionary service, or the service in the War of 1812 and the following Indian wars. Harrison County then contained the following pensioned veterans: In Rumley Township, George Dickerson, aged ninety-four. In Washington Township, John Parker, aged eighty-one years. In Cadiz Village, William Boggs. In Cadiz Township, Robert Alexander, aged forty-five ; Charles D. Wells, aged eighty-two. In Hanover Village, Charles Conaway, aged eighty-eight. In North Township, Mordecai Ames, aged ninety. In Stock Township, Frederick Walters, aged eighty. In Nottingham Township, William Todd, aged eighty-four ; Isaac Suddith, aged eighty. THE 1812 WAR WITH ENGLAND While Harrison County was still included in the territory of Jefferson, the second great war with Great Britain broke out. Jefferson County furnished at least one full regiment, consisting of thirteen companies and 1,065 men and contributed to the formation of others. Of the companies in the above regiment at least three were enlisted wholly or in part within the territory of Harrison County. 296 - CARROLL AND HARRISON COUNTIES The first was that of Capt.

CAPTAIN BARUCH DICKERSON'S COMPANY Before its separation from Jefferson County, what is now Harrison County, furnished another company of soldiers for the War of 1812. • This was known as Capt. Baruch Dickerson's company and it was in service in 1814. The company as made up to do battle against the 'British, had only thirty-six men and were mustered in March 12, 1812 to serve until September 12th of that year. The roster here follows : Capt. Baruch Dickerson, Lieut. John Jamison; sergeants, William Haverfield, Charles Holmes, Laken Wells ; musicians, James Robb, David Young; privates, Samuel Browning, Ezekiel Chambers, Samuel Carson, Joseph Craig, Andrew Foster, Michael Fivecoats, Isaac Hitchcock, James Haverfield, John Hurless, John Hovey, Samuel Holmes, Elsy Holmes, James McConkey, Samuel McConkey, Aaron Mecham, Benjamin Nelson, Joseph Parish, John Richison, Francis Smith, 298 - CARROLL AND HARRISON COUNTIES David Scott, Bazaleel Steel, Francis Warpenboy, Nathaniel West, John Walraven, Henry Welday, George Young. The following interesting account of this company was dictated by the aged Joshua Dickerson, in a number of interviews with him in the autumn of 1896. A portion of this interview runs as follows: "I was but six years old or thereabouts, when the Indians living along lake Erie made frequent marauding expeditions through this part of the State. This was about the year 1810 or 1811. There were no incidents of cruelty in this immediate neighborhood, but apprehending well that might be, the settlers sought to prevent further trouble. Although I was but a child, I well remember the occurrences; perhaps my memory of this is strengthened somewhat, by having heard my father relate the matter repeatedly. "David Barrett, a Quaker, came to my father and asked what he advised doing to prevent trouble with the Indians. Father said, 'in time of peace prepare for war,' and on election day a militia company was formed. After the election, the company numbered sixty and in a short time reached a hundred. David Barrett having organized the company, was chosen its first captain; Samuel Gilmore, first lieutenant ; John Jamison, second lieutenant. Two years later, Baruch Dickerson having succeeded David Barrett as captain was called out to serve against the British. "The company was to serve nine months but was out only six. They went from Cadiz first, to Steubenville, then north to Sandusky. During the whole six months there were no actual engagements ; only on two or three occasions were any shots fired. The camp life was very disagreeable. At Sandusky they camped in a swamp where they were obliged to cut down cedar trees, roll the logs together, and cover them with cedar branches. These branches formed their bed and covering. "Samuel Gilmore was sick when they started home. He lived where Samuel Cochran now lives ; he was a broad-shouldered, well- made man of about forty years and had three or more children. Gilmore, two days before his discharge, being on the way back to Cadiz, took the fever, and not at that time having a horse, was in bad condition; and refusing assistance from his comrades, walked thirty miles. Then the officers contributed sufficient money to purchase a horse and Gilmore rode the remainder of the way to Cadiz, the last two days of his march being held on the horse by his companions. The company reached Cadiz on Saturday, where a large assemblage was waiting to welcome their return. Gilmore was able to recognize only his wife among the crowd, was at once conveyed to his home south of the village, and during the following week, (September 8, 1814) he died." HARRISON COUNTY IN THE CIVIL WAR The first great conflict m which the people of Harrison County, Ohio, took an active part was that of the Civil war fought between the North and South between the eventful years of 1861 and 1866. True it is that the county furnished men for the Mexican war in 1846-48, but that short struggle was not to be compared with the one CARROLL AND HARRISON COUNTIES - 299 known as the Rebellion which resulted in the freedom of more than four million slaves on this continent. The first gun of the Civil war was fired at Fort Sumter April 12, 1861 and the following days the editors of the Cadiz Republican, Messrs. Hatton & Rowles, received the following communication from Hon. John A. Bingham, then congressman from this district, dated Washington, D. C., April 13, 1861 : "Fort Sumter has been battered down by the traitor hordes of the South. It is the first battle on this continent and of this century waged in defense of chattel slavery, the worst despotism which ever cursed the earth or disgraced and outraged humanity. I repeat now what I said in my place as your representative last January-the question of today is not whether the Constitution of our country shall be amended, but whether the Constitution shall be maintained. Upon the solution of this question depends the fate of the Republic. President Lincoln thus far 'clear to his great office," will, I trust, soon summon the loyal citizens of every section to come to the rescue of a violated Constitution. Let them come as the winds come, when forests are rending; let them come as the waves come, when the navies are stranding. May God defend the right." Truly yours, JOHN A. BINGHAM. In the courthouse at Cadiz on the evening of April 20, 1861, eight days after Fort Sumter was fired upon by rebels, a mass-meeting was held to raise a company of volunteers in response to President Lincoln's call for seventy-five thousand men to suppress the rebellion. Dr. Samuel B. McGavran's history of the county has the following concerning this meeting: "The war feeling was up to a fever heat and the enthusiasm intense. The courthouse was filled to overflowing and many were unable to get seats. Hon. John A. Bingham addressed the meeting for about an hour in a strain of melting eloquence which stirred the audience as a tornado stirs the forest. The old cannon which had long been given over to rust was drawn from its hiding place and awoke the surrounding hills with its thundering tones. The soul stirring fife and rattling drum aroused the enthusiasm of young America. Flags were floating all over town. A fund of several thousand dollars was raised to support the families of those who enlisted in their country's service. "The excitement kept up at fever heat, everything was war, War, WAR ! Meetings were held all over the county and in less than a week more than one hundred had volunteered. Cadiz on Monday appeared indeed like military headquarters. The volunteer company was being drilled by General Warfel. Crowds were upon the streets and upon the corners, gathering in squads talking war." The following is a roster of the first company of volunteer soldiers from Harrison County: John Castill, captain; John Conwell, first lieutenant; Miles J. Saunders, second lieutenant ; privates, John C. Bayless, Benjamin Turner, John C. Burns, Harris Hatton, Edward W. Kittering, William Randall, Thomas C. Rea, Thomas C. Mcllravy, Zenos Poulson, Edward B. Young, William P. Ray, James M. Crawford, John Castill, 300 - CARROLL AND HARRISON COUNTIES. James A. Laizure, William H.

This company left for Columbus Saturday, April 27, 1861, just fifteen days after the rebels fired on Fort Sumter. Between two and three thousand persons witnessed their departure. All seemed greatly impressed with the solemnity of the occasion. Tears flowed freely. Each soldier was presented with a copy of the New Testament, at a prayer service held the Saturday night prior to their departure for Camp Jackson, Columbus. Each member of the company was also presented with a red, white and blue pin-cushion and needle case. These were the first scenes in Harrison County relative to the great conflict to follow in which the nation was bathed in blood. REPRESENTATION IN OTHER REGIMENTS While it is not possible in this connection to give a complete roster of the two thousand soldiers who went from this county during the Civil war, it' should be stated that her quotas were well met and filled at each and every call for troops. Soldiers from this county were found in the various regiments as follows : 105 in the Thirteenth Regiment ; 123 in the Thirtieth Regiment ; 182 in the Forty-Third Regiment ; 154 in the Seventy-Fourth Regiment ; twenty-five in the Fifth Regiment ; fifty in the Twelfth Cavalry Regiment ; 294 in the Ninety-Eighth Regiment ; 371 in the One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth Regiment ; 140 in the Sixty-Ninth Regiment ; 420 in the One Hundred and Seventieth Regiment ; thirty in the One Hundredth Regiment; thirty in the Eleventh Cavalry; total, 1,924. Some others were members of other regiments in this and other states making a total of 2,000 soldiers. CARROLL AND HARRISON COUNTIES - 301 CIVIL WAR SURVIVORS According to an authentic record compiled of the Civil war soldiers from Harrison County, still living on May 1, 1920, the following is the' roster (where a veteran has died since that date until this chapter was printed a notation to that effect has been made) : ARCHER TOWNSHIP—Capt.

While there were over two thousand brave men went from 302 - CARROLL AND HARRISON COUNTIES here, all have disappeared from the roster here except those just named. Death and removal have taken the remainder from the Harrison County soldiers who fought in the Civil war. MORGAN'S RAIDERS AT MOOREFIELD Gen. John Morgan, the famous rebel cavalry raider, invaded sections of Harrison County during the Civil war days and the following spicy reminiscence from the pen of Dr. S. B. McGavran, of Cadiz, is well worth preserving, for who ever reads of the history of the Civil war in years and generations to come will want to learn all they can about the famous raid made through Ohio, Indiana and other states by Gen. John Morgan of the Confederate army. This story of the raid through Harrison County was written and preserved in a pamphlet form in 1894, and a copy deposited in the corner-stone of the present courthouse of this county : On a bright and beautiful day in July, 1863, the peace and quiet of our little village was disturbed by the anticipated invasion of rebel forces numbering five or six hundred mounted cavalrymen, under command of the noted rebel Gen. John Morgan. The air was full of rumors of the great destruction of property along the line of march and the alarm for the safety of family and property became intense. This feeling of insecurity was somewhat increased when M. J. Brown and John Robinson of Cadiz, driving a spirited team, rushed through here to discover if possible the line of march the rebels were likely to take. In about an hour or perhaps less, they returned, furiously driving Jehulike, announcing that the rebels were coming this way and would be with us in a short time. Very soon thereafter we discovered the bridge over Big Stillwater on fire and a few minutes later another smoke looming up about one-half mile east, indicated that the other covered bridge over Little Stillwater (or Boggs Fork) was also being consumed. About this time many laughable incidents occurred that did not seem so funny at the time; men hiding their valuables in the most unthought of places, secreting their horses in thickets and deep hollows; women and children running hither and thither with their trinkets trying to find some secure place to hide them, being so excited that they forgot where they placed them and had to be reminded by their neighbors who chanced to observe where they put them, where to look for them. A few would-be-generals on horseback were riding our village street, giving spicy directions as to what others should do, or where to go. A thing they soon found out when the advanced guard of Morgan's force came galloping into town, putting them to flight and quite an exciting race occurred through our streets, accompanied with a rebel yell "Halt, Halt !" Some were immediately captured and their horses taken ; others did not have time to obey orders and got away, doing some exceedingly fast riding to accomplish the feat. Very soon after this race the main force entered our town and took complete possession of the streets, stables and every house that had been vacated by the occupants. They did not disturb or forcibly enter any house where the family stayed at home. They seemed to be a hungry set and freely solicited every house for provisions of CARROLL AND HARRISON COUNTIES - 303 every description; some of them exhibited abnormal appetites for pound cake and preserves. After cleaning up all the previously prepared provisions in the town they quietly sought rest and sleep, seemingly as unconcerned as though the Union forces in pursuit were a hundred miles back instead of three or four. Morgan himself occupied the parlor bed at the Mills Hotel and seemed to be taking a refreshing sleep while his body guard, with their revolvers, lying on chairs at their sides, or on the bed where Morgan was sleeping, occupied the time in reading the news with which they seemed to be well provided. When Morgan arose from the bed he walked to the front door, stepped out on the pavement, cast his eyes down the street, then turned and walked up the street unattended; later the order was given to mount and their march eastward continued, taking the road to New Athens, accompanied by escorts drafted into service as guides across the country. The Union forces under Shackleford having been delayed by the destruction of the bridges, did not get into town in full force until after night, when hungry soldiers had again to be fed and right nobly did our women work, cooking and serving food until after midnight. A greater number of the Union forces pushed on after Morgan, but a portion remained over night, probably as a reminder to us that the war was still going on! Stragglers continued coming into town the following day, but by evening quiet again reigned supreme and the war was over so far as our town was concerned." A MEMORABLE MONTH The month of April, 1865, will ever stand out boldly as a memorable month in American history. April 1. Sheridan's victory at Five Forks. April 2. Grand assault at Petersburg, Virginia. April 3. Occupation of Richmond. April 6. Sheridan routed General Lee's forces. April 12. Union forces occupy Mobile, Alabama. April 14. President Lincoln assassinated. April 15. Andrew Jackson became President. April 19. Funeral of President Lincoln. April 26. Death of assassin J. Wilkes Booth. April 26. Surrender of General Johnson's army. THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR This war was fought between the Kingdom of Spain and the United States in 1898 and was directly caused by the sinking of the United States man-of-war "Maine" off the coast of Cuba, supposedly by the Spaniards. Spain had held an iron hand of oppression over the island of Cuba for nearly four hundred years, as well as over the Philippine Islands in the far off Pacific coast. Cuba being near to this country, naturally looked to our government to protect its rights and as early as Presidents Harrison and Grover Cleveland's administrations an attempt had been made to give Cuba her independence from Spain, but nothing was actually done until April, 1898, when the "Maine" was blown up and hundreds of our seamen lost their 304 - CARROLL AND HARRISON COUNTIES lives, after which Congress investigated the matter and declared a state of war with Spain, which after the brief period of less than sixty days, the entire Spanish fleet was sent to the bottom of the ocean in Manila Bay, by our own gallant Admiral George Dewey. The result of this short, but decisive war was the freedom of both Cuba and the Philippine Islands from the yoke of bondage they had so long endured at the hands of Spain. William McKinley, of Ohio, was serving his first term as President of this country and hence became the commander-in-chief of the army and navy during that war. It was the wise policy of the administration at that time to utilize the regiments of National Guards as far as they would go toward furnishing men sufficient to carry •forward the war against Spain. Hence but few towns and cities were called upon to send soldiers, outside of such points where there was already a regularly organized and drilled National Guard. So the adjutant general's reports for Ohio show that the soldiers furnished from the counties of Harrison and Carroll was small, as no companies of National Guards existed within their borders at that time. The only names that seem to be credited to this war from these two counties are as follows : From Harrison County—Private William T. Bolter, of the village of Scio, aged twenty-one years, sent to hospital May 21, 1898; returned to company June 9, 1898; transferred to hospital corps July 4, 1898; returned to his company September 22, 1898. Private Oliver S. Brown, Jewett, aged twenty-five years, mustered out with company. These two men served m Company M, of the Seventh Ohio Infantry, of Dennison. Private Richard B. Chapman, of Scio, aged twenty-four years, was mustered m June 20, 1898, at Cleveland, Ohio ; transferred to the Seventh United States Volunteer Signal Corps, October 1, 1898. Discharged at Chicago, Illinois, December 4, 1898. Carroll County, Ohio, is credited in the adjtitant-general's report with one soldier for the War with Spain in 1898, as follows: Corp. Winfield H. Handley, Carrollton, aged nineteen years. Sick quarters from August 5, to August 17, 1898. Was a member of Company "I" Fifth Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry, made up at Cleveland. THE RECENT WORLD WAR What is known as the World war was fought in Europe between July, 1914, and November 11, 1918. The United States took part in this war in 1917. The cause of the war has been variously stated by historical writers. Crystalized, the causes may be summed as follows: The underlying reason for the war, as it developed in the course of the conflict, was the desire of Emperor William II and the junker or military class of Germany to dominate the world. This is now the settled judgment of the unprejudiced students. Other causes were also frequently mentioned immediately after the conflict began. These are set forth in the year books and News Almanac for 1915: CARROLL AND HARRISON COUNTIES - 305 1. Commercial and industrial rivalry, especially as developed between Germany and Great Britain. 2. International jealousy as to the power of predominance in the world. This involved- 3. Excessive armaments entailing heavy burdens on the people and developing a spirit of- 4. Militarism and growth of military parties and military castes. 5. Conflict of Slav and Teuton races resulting from national aspirations for territorial expansion, racial antagonism. 6. Desire of certain rulers to put an end to internal strife by consolidating public opinion through the- agency of a foreign war appealing to the patriotism of the people. 7. Desire to preserve the status quo in Europe by preserving the neutrality and independence of the smaller nations. 8. Revenge resulting from former conflicts, such as the War of 1870, between the German states and France and the more recent Balkan wars. 9. Conflict of national ideas or "cultures." 10. Conflict of democracy as opposed to autocracy. 11. Personal ambitions of men high in position, authority and power. 12. Persistent talk of war by yellow journals and jingoists. 13. Publication of books like those of Gen. Von Bernhardi, declaring war to be a blessing, a necessity and a great factor in the furtherance of culture and power. 14. Formation of international alliances preventing the localizing of any conflict. MURDER OF ARCHDUKE FERDINAND The immediate and precipitating cause of the war was the assassination in Sarajevo, Bosnia, June 28, 1914, of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, nephew to the emperor of Austria, heir to the throne of the dual monarchy and commander-in-chief of its army, and his wife, the duchess of Hohenberg, by a Serbian student, Gavrio Prinzip, aided by a number of others. It was the outcome of ill-feeling between Serbia and Austria-Hungary due to the belief of the people in the smaller state that their aspirations as a nation were hampered by the German element in the Hapsburg Empire. The countries had been on the verge of war several times within a few years. This was over the attempted annexation of territory. CHRONOLOGICAL STATEMENTS For the purpose of affording the readers of this local history an accurate and true statement of facts concerning the great war in which this country finally had a part, and for which Harrison and Carroll counties so freely gave of men and money, the subjoined chronological list of events are given for reference now and in future times: 306 - CARROLL AND HARRISON COUNTIES 1914 July 23—Austria-Hungary sends ultimatum to Serbia.

HARRISON COUNTY'S PART IN THE WORLD WAR (List of Soldiers Furnished.) In the absence of the adjutant-general's reports of either the State or United States (which publications will not be issued for several years to come for various reasons) a search among the effects 'of the various officers who had charge of the war work in Harrison County including duplicate lists of registrants, etc., it is believed that the following is as near a correct roster of men serving in the -various departments as it is possible at this time to prepare. The same has been thoroughly gone over by those well versed in the lists of men sent from the county. (Volunteer Service.) [The following list covers those who enlisted from this county, or who had been raised or connected with Harrison County families prior to this war, but enlisted at some other point, but whose home was really considered as being in this county.

FINANCIAL AID RENDERED BY HARRISON COUNTY The true and indeed the average American citizen has ever been noted as given to doing his part financially in all the great struggles this Republic has passed through since it first declared its independence in 1776. In cash, in provisions and in„ self-sacrifice, the Colonists all along the Atlantic coast and as far south and west as settlements had been made in the days of the Revolutionary war, made a record never to be forgotten by every reader of American history. "Valley Forge" and its awful suffering in winter time, is often related as an example where men and women sacrificed all but life itself in order to aid the starving, freezing soldiers, while Washington himself prayed daily to the God of battles. But within the memory of many still living, the scenes of the Civil War from 1861 to 1866, ever on anon come before the vision. The thousands of homes from which the father and sons had enlisted in the cause dear to their hearts-whether in the North or in the South —were left in destitute circumstances. Those who had means rallied to the support with money and provisions, with public and private PICTURE OF RED CROSS WORKERS, CADIZ, IN WORLD WAR TIMES - TAG DAY 322 - CARROLL AND HARRISON COUNTIES. donations. The hungry were fed, the wounded soldiers at the front were tenderly cared for by those with hearts of sympathy. The "Soldier's Aid Societies" were organized in all States and counties -men and women denied themselves many a comfort in order to give comfort and aid to the families represented in the army. Merchants and millers in thousands of instances, trusted the "war widows" for groceries and flour, till the war ended, and in most cases these debts were paid in full by the soldier if he returned to his family. But the dead list was so great that hundreds of thousands of dollars of such debts were never paid. The average American heart is in the right place in war times and times of other distress and calamity. The records of every Ohio county show that appropriations were frequent and liberal during the Civil War, and that the home-staying people made every effort to aid the ones in distress at home and in the field. It was no honor to have it said of a business man after that conflict, that "he got rich during the war." As the county has grown in population and wealth, it is natural that the amounts given in war times should be multiplied many times from the days of the Rebellion of States, hence when the last-the great World War was thrust upon us as a nation, the calls for men and money, be they ever so large, were one and all responded to by the loyal citizen—black or white, male of female, one and all gave freely and many until they "felt it" too ! The burden of debt is still upon us and will be for a generation to come, but who among the rank and file of good citizens begrudge the sacrifice they made in this war? Coming down to the amount subscribed and donated by the people of Harrison County, it is best to give a tabulated statement in this connection, that it may be made a permanent record in the county's annals. The government called upon its citizens to purchase bonds of the Federal Government to fullest possible amount with which to carry on the war. Such bonds were designated "Liberty Loan Bonds" and finally "Victory Loan Bonds." In the call for the first bond issue the people of Harrison County Purchased - $ 329,000 In the second call the county purchased - 466,300 In the third call the county purchased - 470,300 In the fourth call the county purchased - 1,054,850 In the fifth "Victory Loan" call the county purchased - 590,350 In War Savings Stamps the county purchased - 750,000 Total raised for all Government calls - $3,660,800 In addition to this the people of this county donated to the various organizations, such as the Young Men's Christian Association, Young Women's Christian Association, Salvation Army, Knights of Columbus, etc., the amount of $90,000. This amount was given outright, while the above bonds which were bought by the people of the county drew from 3 1/2 to 4 1/4 per cent interest, yet was not to be called a good investment financially, but such bonds were purchased that the Government might exist and do its part in the great conflict.
