(RETURN TO THE HENRY & FULTON COUNTY INDEX) 350 - HISTORY OF HENRY AND FULTON COUNTIES. ade consisted of the Fourteenth and Thirty-eighth Ohio, Tenth Kentucky and Seventy-fourth Indiana. Colonel Este gave the command " battalion forward, guide center ;" the brigade moved steadily forward amidst a shower of lead, A battery was brought to bear upon them with grape and canister, but they kept steadily on ; the abattis was reached, and with a yell and a cheer, the rebel works were carried, and a hand to hand fight ensued. The rebels fought with desperation to hold their works, and not till many of them had been pierced with the bayonet, or knocked down with clubbed guns, did they finally surrender, and were marched as prisoners to the rear. In this charge the Thirty-eighth lost out of three hundred and sixty men that went into the fight, forty-two killed, and one hundred and eight wounded, making a total loss of one hundred and fifty, or nearly one-half of the men engaged. Of this number twelve of the killed, and twenty-three of the wounded were from Fulton County. At the beginning of the fight Corporal O. P. Randall had the colors ; he fell lifeless ; Corporal Baird next took them, and he, too, soon fell dead ; Corporal Strawzer next seized them, and he fell severely wounded ; Corporal Dorsey then took the flag and bore it to the works. Of the five that had charge of the colors, but one, Corporal H. K. Brooks, escaped unhurt. He, although not wounded, had five balls pass through his clothing. This was the last of the severe fighting of the Thirty-eighth, although it marched with Sherman to the sea. It became necessary to burn a bridge on the Big Ogeechee River, and the Thirty eighth was ordered to perform that duty. The regiment had already marched fifteen miles that day, and it was yet ten miles to the bridge. After marching the ten miles and burning the bridge, it was still fifteen miles to where the army went into camp for the night. The regiment took the wrong road, marched six miles out of the way, and at twelve o'clock at night, got within the picket hnes and went into camp, having Marched forty-six miles that day, and destroyed a large bridge. After reaching the sea, the regiment marched with Sherman through the Carolinas to Goldsboro, N. C., and after the surrender of Johnson, went to Richmond, Va., and from there to Washington, D. C., attended the grand parade, and was reviewed by the president and his cabinet, From there it was sent by rail to Louisville, Ky., and on the 12th of July it was sent home and mustered out of the service, it having served three years and eleven months.

This regiment was principally raised in the southwestern part of the State. It first went into camp near Cincinnati, but was afterward transferred to Camp Dennison. Here the odds and ends of several companies joined it, among which were fifty-two men from Fulton county, forty-two of which were mustered into Company I, and the other eleven joined other companies of the regiment. On the 27th of August, 1861, the regiment was ordered to Clarksburgh, W. Va., and on arriving at that place reported to General W. S. Rosecrans. The regiment did a vast amount of marching and picketing in West Virginia, and, in the autumn it marched to Bullstown, on the Little Kanawha River, and was brigaded with the Ninth and Twenty-eighth Ohio, afterwards known as the " Bully Dutch Brigade." Its first battle was at Cornifex Ferry. In the month of January, 1862, the Forty-seventh was ordered by General J. D. Cox to make an expedition to Little Sewell Mountain, and drive the rebels from that place. After driving the rebels out of their works, and taking a number of prisoners, the Forty-seventh proceeded to destroy the works. They returned to camp on the 22d of April, 1863. A detail of three companies was sent on an expedition to Lewisburg, and, on the l0th of May, was joined by one company of the Forty-fourth Ohio, one from the Forty-seventh Ohio, and one from the Second battalion of the Second Virginia Cavalry. Lieutenant-Colonel Elliott took command, and immediately advanced upon Lewisburg. The expedition was a complete success. The rebels were completely routed, and the camp equipage, horses, wagons, and many prisoners fell into their hands. In their flight the rebels threw away their arms, blankets, coats, and everything that would impede their escape. Soon after this expedition the Forty-seventh was brigaded with the Thirty-sixth and Forty-fourth Ohio Regiments, which was called the Third Provisional Brigade. On August 6th Major Perry was dispatched with Company I and three other companies to reconnoitre the northern part of Greenbriar and Pocahontas counties, and capture or drive the rebels out of the county. This was successfully done, and after a great deal of hard marching and skirmishing, the guerillas were driven across the river to White Sulphur Springs. The Forty-seventh took an active part in the siege and capture of Vicks- FULTON COUNTY - 369 burg, doing a great deal of fighting, and capturing many prisoners, being nearly all the time in the front line, and at the time of the surrender occupying Seminary Hill Fort. The next day after the surrender the Forty-seventh was dispatched towards Jackson, Miss., after Johnson's rebel force, and assisted in the attack and capture of Jackson, and destroyed the fortifications around the city. It took an active part in the battle of Chickamauga, October 24, 1863, the Forty-seventh being on the skirmish line when the advance was made, and did its part of the fighting. On the 25th it marched in pursuit of the enemy, and on the 28th entered Grayville and destroyed a store-house, mills, and machine-shop used by the rebels for manufacturing arms. On March 6, 1864, the regiment re-enlisted for three more years, and left on return furlough for home, arriving in Cincinnati, March 22. After the expiration of its furlough it returned to the field and reached its brigade at Stevenson, Ala., May 3, 1864. The regiment was actively engaged in all the fights from Chattanooga, Tenn., to Atlanta, Ga. It marched with Sherman's army to the sea, and participated in the charge on Fort McAlister, December 13th, being in the advance. The fort was carried, the Forty-seventh being the first to enter. When the Forty-seventh entered the field it had eight hundred and thirty men, but when it reached Savannah it numbered only one hundred and twenty, except some recruits that reached the regiment at Atlanta. It was paid off and mustered out August 24, 1865, having served over four years. THE SIXTY-SEVENTH INFANTRY. This regiment was organized by the consolidation of two regiments partly filled, viz., the Forty-fifth and the Sixty-seventh, besides a few recruits from Lucas and Fulton counties. At the muster in of the regiment there were 211 men from Fulton county, as follows : Company A, 63 men ; Company B, 30 men; Company C, 18 men ; Company D, 2 men ; Company E, 17 men ; Company F, 35 men ; Company I, 46 men ; total, 211. The regiment left Columbus for the front January 19, 1862, going to West Virginia, and spent the winter at Bloomway Gap and Pau Pau Tunnel. Skirmishing was frequent on the picket line between the Sixty-seventh and Ashby's Cavalry. On the 14th of March the regiment reported to General Banks, at Winchester, and soon engaged the enemy and drove them until darkness put an end to the fight. They lay on their arms all night, and the next morning were the first to engage the foe. After the fight had fairly begun, the Sixty-seventh was ordered to reinforce General Taylor's Brigade, and, in order to reach that command it had to pass over an open field for more than a mile, exposed to a heavy fire. from the enemy. The regiment took the double quick, reached Taylor's Brigade, and immediately went into action. It lost in this battle fifteen killed and thirty-two wounded, For the next three months the regiment 370 - HISTORY OF HENRY AND FULTON COUNTIES. was on the march all over Virginia, and on the 29th of June embarked on a steamer and barge for the James River, to reinforce General McClellan. At the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay the hawser attached to the barge in tow by the steamer parted, and the latter lay tossing in the trough of the heavy sea for more than hour before the steamer could again make fast to it. Horses, arms, camp and garrison equipage, and many of the men were washed overboard and lost. At Harrison's Landing it campaigned with the Army of the Potomac until McClellan retreated from the Peninsula, when it marched to Suffolk, Va. At this time the regiment had been reduced to but three hundred men fit for duty, out of the eight hundred and fifty it had when it left Columbus, in January, 1862. Passing over the next five months, which were nearly all occupied in marching, and being transported from one place to another, on April 2, 1863, it landed on Cole's Island, where, for seven months, it' endured all the hardships of the siege. It took an active part in the charge on Fort Wagner, where it lost heavily. It was, at last, allowed a Pews days' rest before starting on its expedition into Florida. The men re-enlisted and returned to Ohio in February, 1864, where they rested, visited, and recruited until the expiration of their furlough, when they again returned to the front, about seven hundred strong. Forty-nine of the recruits came from Fulton county. They reached General Butler at Bermuda Hundred on the 6th of May, 1864, and on the 9th were detached to guard the right flank of the Tenth Corps, at the railroad at Chester Station, for the purpose of destroying the road from there to Petersburg. The regiment was placed on the turnpike from Richmond to Petersburg, with one section of artillery, with orders to hold the position at all hazards. During the night reinforcements arrived, and the next morning the rebels made a general attack upon them. The Sixty-seventh maintained its position. The rebels made four successive charges and were as often repulsed by the Sixty-seventh. The section of artillery was captured, and was, for a short time, in the hands of the enemy, but was soon recaptured by the gallant Company F, of the Sixty-seventh. The l0th of May, 1864, will always be remembered by the regiment as a sad, but glorious day. Seventy-six officers and men were killed and wounded in this battle. On the l0th of May the Sixty-seventh, with other regiments, were ordered to recapture a portion of our force which had been taken by the enemy. They took the lines by a desperate charge, in which they lost sixty-nine officers and men killed and wounded. They, too, in this charge, captured the rebel general, W. H. S. Walker, and his sword was delivered to Colonel Voorhis as a trophy of this victory. On the 16th of August four companies of the Sixty-seventh charged the rifle pits at Deep River, and the first volley of the enemy killed and wounded one-third of the charging column, but, before the rebels could reload, the rifle pits were in possession of the Sixty-seventh. On the 7th, 13th, 27th and 28th of Oc- FULTON COUNTY - 371 tober, the regiment was engaged with the enemy, and it is a fact that during the campaign of 1864, the Sixty-seventh was under fire two hundred times, and had lost in killed and wounded, during that time, over four hundred men. In the spring of 1865 the regiment participated in the assault on the rebel works in front of Petersburg, and on April 2, led the charge on Fort Gregg and Appomattox Court-house, and was in the last fight the Union forces had with the army of Virginia. The regiment was at the grand review at Washington, and was not mustered out of service until the 12th day of December, 1865. THE SIXTY-EIGHTH INFANTRY. This regiment was recruited in the counties of Defiance, Fulton, Henry, Paulding and Williams, during the fall and winter of 1861-62. One full company was recruited in Fulton county. The regiment rendezvoused at Camp Latty, and moved to Camp Chase in January, 1862. It left Camp Chase February 7, 1862, for the front, and arrived at Fort Donaldson, Tenn., on the 14th, when it was assigned to General C. F. Smith's division on the left of the line, and constantly engaged in skirmishing during both days of the fighting. It guarded the supply and ordnance trains of General Lew Wallace, during the battle of Pittsburgh Landing; it was actively engaged during the siege of Corinth in building roads, bridges and entrenchments. The regiment participated in the battles of Iuka and Monmouth. In the spring of 1863 it was assigned to the Second Brigade, Third Division, Seventeenth Army Corps, and served in that command until the close of the war. It participated in the battle of Thompson Hill, May 1, 1863, and in the battles of Raymond, Jackson, Champion Hills and Black Jack, all in the month of May, 1863. In all of these engagements it suffered serious loss, especially at Champion Hills. It was constantly engaged in all the fighting during the siege of Vicksburg. It took an active part in the fight of Baker's Creek, February 5, 1863. It veteranized, and on the 15th of December, 1863, embarked for home on its veteran furlough. It received recruits while at home, and an additional number when returning ; one hundred and seventy men that had been sent to it about the time it went north on furlough, in all a total of over three hundred, and when the regiment arrived in Georgia, where it joined General Sherman's army on the Atlanta campaign, it had over seven hundred men for duty. During the remainder of the Atlanta campaign the regiment was almost constantly under fire, and for sixty-five days and nights was on the advance line. It was in the battles at Neuces, Nickajack, Atlanta, and on the 28th Jonesboro and Lovejoy. After the capture of Atlanta the regiment marched with Sherman to the sea, and through the Carolinas, and after the surrender of Johnston, marched to Washington, D. C., and participated in the grand review ; from there to Louisville, Ky., and on the 18th of July was mustered out of service, and returned home. 372 - HISTORY OF HENRY AND FULTON COUNTIES. For a more detailed account of the Sixty-eighth Regiment see the report of its achievements in the history of the regiment in the military chapter of Henry county in this volume, and for the purpose of keeping together as well as pos Bible, the names of all who were in this command, the roster will be found it connection with the history proper of it. THE EIGHTY-FIFTH INFANTRY-THREE MONTHS REGIMENT. The Eighty-fifth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, was organized at Camp Chase, on the l0th day of June, 1862. It was raised for the purpose of guarding prisoners at Camp Chase, Ohio. About the middle of July, 1862, the guerilla, Morgan, made a raid into Kentucky and threatened Frankfort, the capital of that State. Aid being necessary, and there being no other available troops at hand, a battalion of four companies of the Eighty-fifth was dispatched to their assistance, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Sowers. On arriving at Frankfort they found the loyal people of that place greatly alarmed, and the rebel portion equally jubilant. The next day after the arrival of the battalion of the Eighty-fifth they were ordered out by Adjutant-General Leslie Combs, about six miles in the country, to intercept a force of Morgan's cavalry which were camped at that place; but the rebels having been apprised of our approach beat a hasty retreat just as the battalion came in sight of their camp. The battalion was ordered to double-quick, but soon found that infantry was no match for horses, and so gave up the pursuit and returned to the city. The next day they were joined by a battalion of Pennsylvania troops, and five companies of Kentuckians and a day or two later Morgan hastily left, and the battalion of the Eighty-fifth again reported for duty at Camp Chase, where it remained until about the middle of October, when it was paid off and discharged. Fulton county furnished one full company, G, for this regiment, ninety-seven men rank and file. THE EIGHTY-SIXTH INFANTRY-SIX MONTHS REGIMENT. This regiment was recruited from the northern counties of Ohio, Fulton county contributing one whole company, Company H. It was organized at Camp Cleveland, and recruited to a full regiment in the month of June and early part of July, 1863. About the time of its muster in the rebel general, John Morgan, was making his famous northern raid through Indiana and Southern Ohio. The regiment was immediately placed under marching orders and joined in the chase of the guerillas, the rebels having just been defeated at Buffington's Island by Generals Judah and Shackleford's troops, and being thus prevented from crossing the Ohio River at that point, turned in a northeasterly direction and marched to the Muskingum River, which they reached a short distance below Zanesville. On the arrival of the Eighty-Sixth at Zanesville, a detachment of two hundred men, under the command of Lieu, FULTON COUNTY - 373 tenant-Colonel McFarland, were sent to Eagleport, where it was presumed Morgan would attempt to cross the Muskingum. The detachment arrived just in time to witness the crossing of the rear guard. Colonel McFarland immediately commenced skirmishing with the enemy and detained them some time, thus allowing General Shackleford to gain some precious time in pursuit. In the meantime Major Karns, with the remainder of the Eighty-sixth, had been ordered to Cambridge to intercept Morgan at that point. He arrived at Washington on the turnpike, a few minutes after Morgan's forces had passed. Shackelford then coming up with the forces under his command, the two jointly pursued the enemy to a place near Salineville, Columbiana county, where the rebels were overtaken and captured. The Eighty-sixth returned to Camp Tod, at Columbus, and on the 8th of August proceeded to Camp Nelson, Ky., where they joined the forces under Colonel De Courcy, in an expedition to capture Cumberland Gap then held by the enemy. The expedition left Camp Nelson August 17th, and on the 8th of September arrived in front of Cumberland Gap. The force under the command of De Courcy consisted of the Eighty-sixth and One Hundred and Twenty-ninth Ohio Infantry, detachments of the Ninth and Eleventh Tennessee Cavalry, and Captain Neil's Twenty- Second Ohio Battery. The country being filled with rebel spies, De Courcy divided all his regiments into two battalions, making each regiment appear as two. This was done in order to deceive the enemy, who greatly outnumbered him. It was then represented to the rebel commander that De Courcy's force numbered ten or twelve thousand. Soon after the arrival of De Courcy's force on the Kentucky side, Major-General Burnside arrived with his force on the Tennessee side of the Gap, thus completely investing the rebel garrison under General Frazer. On the 9th of September the Eighty-sixth formed in line of battle along the Harlan Road, with skirmishers in front, two pieces of Neil's battery on the left occupying an elevated plateau, with the One Hundred and Twenty-ninth in supporting distance in the rear. The remainder of Neil's battery was in position in front of the Gap, and the cavalry on the Barberville road. This disposition of troops being made on the north side in conjunction with General Burnside's forces on the south side of the Gap, a formal summons was sent by General Burnside to the rebel commander demanding the surrender of the place. This demand was acceded to by General Frazer, thus saving great loss of life, as the Gap could have been stoutly defended and the loss of life would have been very great had it been taken by direct assault. The Eighty sixth immediately marched into the fort and took possession, hoisting the stars and stripes in place of the rebel flag, which had been defiantly waving in the same place for so many months. The result of this victory was two thousand eight hundred prisoners, five thousand stand of arms, thirteen pieces of artillery, and a large quantity of ammunition, quartermaster's and commissary stores. The Eighty-sixth remained in the Gap as a part of 374 - HISTORY OF HENRY AND FULTON COUNTIES. the garrison until its term of service expired. It being one hundred and fifty miles from the Gap to its base of supplies, over bad roads, the troops were compelled to subsist in a great measure off of the country, and foraging parties had to go a great distance to reach anything eatable, and the country being filled with guerillas, conflicts were of almost daily occurrence. The time for which the regiment enlisted having expired on the 16th of January, 1864, it started for Ohio, and after a seven days' hard march it reached Nicholsville on January 23. It left for Cleveland, Ohio, where it arrived on the 26th, and was mustered out of the United States service February l0th, 1864. Company H had ninety-four men all from Fulton county. THE ONE HUNDREDTH INFANTRY. This regiment was organized at Camp Toledo, near Toledo, and was mustered into the United States service on the 1st day of September, 1862. It was recruited in the northwestern counties of the State, Fulton county furnishing one Company H, and about twenty other men scattered through the different companies of the regiment. It immediately left for Cincinnati, and on the 9th camped in Covington, Ky. On the 8th of October it marched for Lexington, and from there on to Danville, where it arrived the 26th of December. On the 2d of January, 1863, it marched to Frankfort, Ky., and in February returned to Lexington, and thence to Crab Orchard, Mt. Vernon and Somerset. On the 13th of August it again went into camp at Danville, and from there in the latter part of August the regiment started on its march with the Ninth Corps for East Tennessee. On arriving at Knoxville a portion of the regiment, two hundred and forty strong, under Major Hayes, was sent up the West Virginia hne to guard the railroad, where, on the 4th of September, the entire detachment was captured by the enemy after a spirited resistance lasting more than two hours ; and not until the detachment had fired the last shot in their cartridge boxes did they yield. The regiment participated in the defense of Knoxville, and did valuable service during the winter of 1863-4, in and about that place, being constantly on duty, as were all of Burnside's troops. In the spring of 1864, the regiment, with the Twenty-third Army Corps, marched from Knoxville to join Sherman, then at Tunnel Hill, Ga. It moved with Sherman on the Atlanta campaign and was present at almost every battle from Rocky Face Ridge to Atlanta. On the 6th of August it was engaged in an assault on the rebel works in front of Atlanta, and lost one hundred and three men in killed and wounded, out of three hundred engaged. Thirty-six of these were killed on the field and eight more died of their wounds shortly after. Colonel Slevin was rendered a cripple for life. After the capture of Nashville the regiment went in pursuit of Hood and was hotly engaged with the enemy in the battles of Franklin and Nashville. It then went with the Twenty-third Corps to Washington, North Carolina, and was there actively FULTON COUNTY - 375 engaged, after which it marched to Goldsboro, and from there with Sherman's army to Raleigh ; thence to Greensboro ; and thence was sent to Cleveland, 0., where it was mustered out of service on the 1st day of July, 865. The One Hundredth lost, during its two years and ten months' service, sixty- five men killed in action ; one hundred and forty-two wounded, twenty-seven of whom died of wounds ; one hundred and eight died of disease ; and three hundred and twenty-five were captured by the enemy, eighty-five of whom died in rebel prisons. Of this regiment Company H was recruited wholly from Fulton county in July and August, 862. It was organized by the election of L. Berry Smith, captain ; John L. Palmer, first lieutenant, and Emmet Losure, second lieutenant, and was mustered into the service with the regiment at Toledo, September 1, 1862, and numbered one hundred rank and file at muster in. Captain L. Berry Smith resigned November 27, 1862, and Lieutenant John H. Palmer succeeded him as captain of the company. Emmet Losure was promoted to first lieutenant, and Albert B. Smith was promoted from first sergeant to second lieutenant. John H. Palmer resigned March 27, 1863, and Emmet Losure succeeded him as captain ; Albert B. Smith was promoted from second to first lieutenant, and First Sergeant John J. Hines to second lieutenant. Captain Emmet Losure died of small pox at Knoxville, Tenn., January 12, 1864, and First Lieutenant Albert B. Smith was promoted to the captaincy of the company and served as such until January, 1865. At the same time, January 14, 1864, sixteen of this company were transferred to other commands, and to the invalid corps. Eight men were killed in battle, and two died from gun-shot wounds received in battle ; twenty died of disease contracted in the service, and ten died in rebel prison pens. The company was with the regiment in all its marches and battles ; at the siege of Knoxville, Mossy Creek, Strawberry Plains, Tenn.; at Resaca, Tunnel Hill, Rocky Face Ridge, Ala.; at the siege of Atlanta, in the fights at Dallas, Etowah Creek, in Georgia, and at the battles of Franklin and Nashville, Tenn., and at Johnson's surrender to Sherman in North Carolina. The company received sixteen recruits from Fulton county during its term of service, and at its muster out had but fifty-one out of the one hundred and sixteen men in the organization.

The One Hundred and Eleventh Ohio Infantry Regiment was raised in Lucas, Wood, Fulton, Williams, Sandusky and Defiance counties, in the month of August, 1862. It took the field at Covington, Ky., on the 11th of September, 1862, and on the 18th, with four other new regiments and a battery, it made a reconnoissance to Crittenden, Ky., and, after driving the rebel cavalry of Kirby Smith, from that place, it returned to Covington. On the 25th it took transports to Louisville, where it was assigned to General Buel's army, in the Twenty-third Brigade, Twelfth Division, under the command of General Dumont. It moved on Shelbyville, October 3, and, on the eighth took the advance in the movement on Frankfort, where it had a slight skirmish with FULTON COUNTY - 381 Bragg's Cavalry. It moved on Lawrenceburgh, October 11, and from thence to Crab Orchard, where it joined the whole army of General Buel. After Bragg's army had escaped, the One Hundred and Eleventh moved, by rapid marches, to Bowling Green, Ky., where it remained garrisoning forts and guarding railroads, from that place to Nashville, until the 29t11 of May, 1863, when it was ordered to Glasgow, Ky., where it was assigned to the Second Brigade, Second Division Twenty-third Army Corps, where it remained during the remainder of the war, and until mustered out of service. From Glasgow it took part in the movement on Scottsville and Tompkinsville. On the 4th day of July, 1863, Morgan having crossed the Cumberland River about six miles above Tompkinsville, the One Hundred and Eleventh gave chase and marched from Tompkinsville to Glasgow, a distance of thirty-two miles, carrying guns, equipments and forty rounds of ammunition. On the 6th the regiment marched to Munfordville, and on the 9th took cars for Louisville. Morgan, now having crossed the Ohio River, a short distance below that point, the One Hundred and Eleventh crossed to New Albany, Ind., from there to Jeffersonville, and took transports for Cincinnati. On the way up, on an island, ten miles above Louisville, the regiment was landed, and a detachment of Morgan's men were captured, with about twenty-five horses. The regiment arrived at Cincinnati on the 13th, and at Portsmouth on the 18th. Learning of the capture of most of Morgan's command, the regiment returned to Cincinnati, where the first captured portion of Morgan's command, being about thirty-five hundred, were turned over to the One Hundred and Eleventh, who took the privates and non-commissioned officers to the military prison at Indianapohs, and the commissioned officers to Johnson's Island without the loss of a single man. The regiment at this time presented a rather sorry appearance, it having been for four weeks on the chase after Morgan, and taking the rebels to prison, without a change of clothing, so was, indeed, rather rusty ; but was mustered for pay, and on the 29th of July was paid. The boys here drew new clothing, and the officers took a bath and "rigged up in their best," and really made a fine appearance that evening on dress parade, in the presence of several thousand Cincinnatians. About the 1st of August the regiment returned to Kentucky. Arriving at Lebanon it marched to New Market, where the Second Division of the Twenty-third Army Corps rendezvoused, preparatory to their march into East Tennessee. This movement began on the 19th of August and the command arrived at Jamestown, on the Cumberland Mountain, eighty-five miles distant from Knoxville, on the 26th. The night of the 25th was a hard one on the men. The One Hundred and Eleventh was detailed to help the division wagon train and artillery up the mountain. This was accomplished by fastening a hawser to the end of the wagon pole and a company of men, with hand spikes twisted in the hawser, drawing the wagons up the almost perpendicular side of the mountain. From Jim Town the division moved by rapid 382 - HISTORY OF HENRY AND FULTON COUNTIES. marches through Yarman's Gap, and on the 30th of August arrived at Montgomery. On the 2d of September it forded the Big Emory River and arrived at Loudon, Tenn., on the Tennessee River, on the 4th, where it remained until the 14th of Noyember, where it took part in the movement on New Market, to check the rebel advance from Virginia. It also took part in numerous marches, scouts and skirmishes along the Tennessee and Holston Rivers. On the 22d of October General Longstreet appeared with his army in front of Loudon, and skirmishing began and was constantly kept up, between the division to which the One Hundred and Eleventh belonged, and the rebel advance. On the 14th of October reinforcements met the division at Lenoir, and the Second Brigade was ordered to Huff's Ferry, three miles below Loudon, to contest the crossing of Longstreet's troops. The roads were almost impassable, and it was dark before the Ferry was reached. On a high bluff, about a mile from the river, a brigade of rebels were encountered ; the Second Brigade were immediately formed in single line and made a successful charge; the enemy was driven back with considerable loss, the One Hundred and Eleventh having but few wounded, as it was on the right flank and partly under cover of a dense woods. The brigade stood to arms all night in a pelting rain. At daylight the division fell back, the One Hundred and Eleventh covering the retreat. At Loudon Creek a lively skirmish took place between the regiment and the Sixth South Carolina Sharpshooters of Longstreet's Division. The rebels were held in check until Henshaw's Illinois Battery was moved up the hill above the creek. In this engagement the One Hundred and Eleventh lost four killed and twelve wounded. The command then marched rapidly to Lenoir, and, during the night, destroyed all its camp and garrison equipage, and on the morning of the 16th, at three o'clock, it marched in the direction of Knoxville. On this morning Lieutenant Omer P. Norris, with fifty-two men, of Company B, of the regiment, were captured by the rebels while on picket. Of these fifty-two, thirty-six were starved to death in Anderson prison. At Campbell Station General Burnside concluded to halt the command and give battle to General Longstreet, in order to impede the progress of the enemy until the fortifications around Knoxville could be completed. In this engagement the One Hundred and Eleventh were in the front line, immediately in front of two rebel batteries, where, for six hours, it was exposed to the shells of the enemy ; yet it lost but eight men in ,killed and wounded, as the enemy's shells mostly fell in rear of the line. That night the regiment marched into Knoxville, having been three days without sleep, food or rest, and having been engaged in three separate fights. It occupied Fort College Hill during the siege of Knoxville, and had six men killed and wounded. After the retreat of Longstreet the regiment was in the skirmishes at Blain's Cross Roads, Danville and Strawberry Plains, and when General Schofield fell back a second time on Knoxville, the regiment occupied an outpost seven miles from the city. In FULTON COUNTY - 383 protecting the crossing of the Second Division, at Strawberry Plains, on the 21st of January, 1864, the regiment had one man killed. On the 9th of February, 1864, General Schofield arrived at Knoxville, and assumed command of the department. On the 14th of March the regiment marched to Morristown, East Tenn. On the following day it was on the picket line and had a lively skirmish with the enemy's cavalry. The regiment was then ordered back to Mossy Creek, where it remained until April 0, when it was sent to Charleston, on the Hiawassa River about one hundred miles distant, which march it accomplished in four days, arriving at Charleston on the last day of April. From here it marched to Red Clay, Ga. At this point a junction was formed between the left wing of General Sherman's army and the army of the Ohio, preparatory to starting on the Atlanta campaign. On the 7th of May the regiment marched to Tunnel Hill, and on the 8th skirmished into position in front of Buzzard's Roost, and on the 9th an advance was made on Rocky Face Mountain. The regiment being on the advance line of skirmishers, in the short distance of three-fourths of a mile, it lost nine men in killed and wounded. On the 9th it marched through Snake Creek Gap, and halted in front of Resaca. On the 16th it charged the enemy's work but was unsuccessful for want of artillery support. Here the regiment lost heavily ; out of the seven companies engaged the One Hundred and Eleventh lost seven killed and thirty wounded. In the second day's fight at Resaca, the regiment being in the supporting column, was not injured and after an unsuccessful night attack by the rebels, they evacuated the place. On the 16th, while the One Hundred and Eleventh were in pursuit, they had a lively skirmish with the rebel cavalry and captured six prisoners. On the 27th while a rebel brigade was making an advance on the Union lines, the One Hundred and Eleventh was ordered out on the double quick and charged and broke the rebel lines. In this charge the regiment lost fifteen men in killed and wounded. It took an active part in the whole campaign against Atlanta. It was engaged in the siege of Kenesaw, the battles of Pine Mountain, Lost Mountain, Dallas, on the Chattahoochie River near Nicojack Creek, Decatur, Peachtree Creek, and in the siege of Atlanta, and the skirmishes at Rough and Ready, Lovejoy's Station, and Utoy Creek. When it started on the Atlanta campaign it had three hundred and eighty effective men, and of this number it lost in killed and wounded two hundred and twelve. On the 8th of September the regiment went into camp at Decatur, Ga., where it remained until the 4th of October, when the movement against Hood's forces commenced. During the stay of the regiment at Decatur, it made a reconnaissance to Stone Mountain, where it had a fight with rebel cavalry and lost a few men. It marched next to Allatoona Pass, eighteen miles from Chattanooga, where the twenty-third corps was ordered into Alabama in pursuit of General Hood's 384 - HISTORY OF HENRY AND FULTON COUNTIES. army. At Cedar Bluffs on the Coosa River, in a skirmish with the rebel cavalry, one officer and three men of the One Hundred and Eleventh were captured while on picket. At Rome, Ga, the regiment had a brisk skirmish with the rebels. It reached Resaca on the evening of the first of November, 1864, and from there the regiment went to Jonesville, on the Tennessee River, to protect the place from a threatened rebel raid. It left Jonesville on the l0th of November, and moved by rail to Columbia, Tenn., and assisted in checking General Hood's advance on Nashville. It was in the skirmishes in and about Columbia, and was rear guard at the fording of Duck River, while the army under General Thomas fell back on Franklin. The regiment was twice attacked while guarding the wagon train to Franklin, each time repulsing the enemy. That night it marched, by the outposts of General Hood's army in bringing up the rear. It reached Franklin on the morning of the 30th of November, and was immediately placed in the front line of the works, on the left flank of the second division, Twenty-third army corps, to the right of the turnpike, and in that fight the regiment that day lost twenty-two men killed and forty wounded, out of a total of one hundred and eighty men engaged. Many men on both sides were killed by bayonet thrusts. The contest was so close that, at one time, the flag of the One Hundred and Eleventh was snatched from the hands of the color sergeant by a rebel, who was instantly killed and the flag recovered. During the charge the troops on the immediate left of the One Hundred and Eleventh fell back, and the rebels on this part of the line for some time poured an enfilading fire along the line of the second brigade. Owing to the loss of officers in this and former actions, it became necessary to make a detail from other regiments to command the companies. On the morning of the 1st of December, the One Hundred and Eleventh again entered Nashville and was immediately placed in the line of defenses, and was severely engaged in both days of the fight before Nashville. It captured three rebel battle-flags, and a large number of prisoners in the second day's fight. Its loss was seven killed and fifteen wounded. After the fight the regiment was sent in pursuit of General Hood, and on the 17th of January, 1865, it took transports at Clifton, Tenn., to make the campaign in North Carolina. It passed through Cincinnati and Columbus, 0., on the 23d and arrived in Washington, D. C., on the 31st. It embarked at Alexandria on an ocean steamer for Fort Fisher, where it joined the army under General Terry, and was actively engaged in the capture of Fort Anderson, and in the skirmish at Mosby's Hall and Goldsboro. After the surrender of General Johnson the regiment was sent to Salisbury, North Carolina, doing garrison duty there until ordered home for muster out. It arrived at Cleveland, 0., July 5, 1865. The regiment had one thousand and fifty men at muster in. It received eighty-five recruits. Of the command two hundred were discharged for disability, disease and wounds ; two hundred died of disease while in the service FULTON COUNTY - 385 two hundred and fifty-two were killed in battle, or died of wounds, and four hundred and one were mustered out. The One Hundred and Eleventh Regiment probably was as well drilled as any in the Union army, and did as much hard marching, skirmishing, and severe fighting as any other, and received as much praise from its superior officers for its gallantry and obedience to orders. It was always ably commanded. It went out in the fall of 1862, under command of Major M. R. Brailey, who remained in charge during the fall campaign, thoroughly disciplining and drilling the men. In December, Colonel John R. Bond arrived at Bowling Green, Ky., and took the command. Major Brailey was promoted to lieutenant-colonel in January, 1863, and Lieutenant I. R. Sherwood was made major of the regiment. Colonel Bond was an excellent military officer, and commanded the regiment with marked ability, but he was absent a large share of the time, and the command devolved on Lieutenant-Colonel Brailey, until January, 1864, at which time he was ordered discharged at the officer's hospital in Cincinnati, on account of abscess of the lungs and other disabilities, and Major Sherwood was promoted to lieutenant-colonel. Colonel Bond having been mustered out of the service in the spring of 1864, Lieutenant-Colonel Sherwood was promoted to colonel, and ably commanded the One Hundred and Eleventh to the close of the war. Colonel Brailey and Colonel Sherwood were both promoted to the rank of brevet-brigadier-general for bravery and meritorious service. This regiment had sixty-two men from Fulton county including recruits. THE ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTIETH INFANTRY. This regiment, First Regiment Ohio National Guards, one hundred days service, was raised in Lucas and Fulton counties, and was organized during the early part of May, 1864. Fulton county reported with three full companies, but there being eleven companies already reported, one of them from Fulton county was broken up and distributed among the other companies of the regiment, filling those companies nearly to the maximum number. The regiment reported to General C. W. Hill, at Sandusky, and after muster-in, was ordered to Johnson's Island, in Sandusky Bay, to guard the rebel prisoners confined there. While the One Hundred and Thirtieth was on the island, the prisoners attempted to escape by tunneling out, but their plans were discovered in time to prevent the act. On the 4th of June the regiment received orders for removal, and soon after crossed the bay and took the cars for Washington, D. C. At Belair, the State arms, with which the regiment had been supplied, were turned over, and the command given such as used by other military organizations in active service. The regiment then proceeded to Washington, where it remained three days, when it was ordered to report to General Butler, at Bermuda Hundred. It was ordered by General Butler to Point of Rocks, on the Appomattox. The rebels being in close proximity to that place, and threat- 386 - HISTORY OF HENRY AND FULTON COUNTIES. ening an attack, the regiment was left under arms for several days. After the enemy had left that place the command returned to Bermuda Hundred, and went into camp near General Butler's signal tower, on the left of the line of entrenchments, where it was employed in digging rifle-pits, and picketing. The brigade consisted of the One Hundred and Thirtieth, One Hundred and Thirty-second, One Hundredth, One Hundred and Thirty-fourth, One Hundred and Forty-second, and One Hundred and Forty-eighth Ohio, it being the Second Brigade, Third Division, Tenth Army Corps. On the 22d of June the brigade had a sharp skirmish with the rebel pickets, in which the One Hundred and Thirtieth had one man severely wounded. On the 11th of August the regiment went in transports to Fort Powhattan, where it remained on guard duty until it was ordered to be mustered out. On the 7th of September the regiment embarked on the steamer Keyport, and passed down the James River. During the passage a severe squall struck the steamer, and a serious disaster was barely averted. On arriving at Washington, the regiment took cars for Toledo, Ohio, where it was paid off, and mustered out of service. Fulton county furnished two hundred and fifty-one men for the Ope Hundred and Thirtieth Regiment. THE ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-SECOND INFANTRY-ONE YEAR SERVICE. This was a one year regiment, and was recruited from different parts of the State, Fulton, Henry, Williams, Lucas and Wood counties contributing five companies. These five companies went by rail to Camp Chase, near Columbus, 0., where five other companies, made up of different squads from all parts of the State, were added, making a full regiment, which, on the 28th of October, 864, was mustered into the service of the United States. On the 1st of November the regiment proceeded, under orders, to Nashville, Tenn., where it joined General Thomas's forces. For the next few weeks it was engaged in drilling, standing guard, and doing out-post duty. In the early part of December General Hood, with his rebel army, made his appearance before Nashville, and invested that place. The regiment was actively engaged both days in the battle of Nashville, and afterward remained in Nashville, doing duty until the 7th of July, 1865, when it was mustered out of the service, and sent to Camp Chase, 0., where, on the 13th, it was paid off and discharged. Fulton county furnished sixty-one men for this regiment, forty-five for Company B, and sixteen for Company K. THE FORTY-FOURTH ILLINOIS INFANTRY-FULTON COUNTY'S CONTINGENT THEREIN. This county furnished one entire company for this regiment (Company D), commanded by Captain E. L. Hayes ; first lieutenant, Jacob Hoffmire; second FULTON COUNTY - 387 lieutenant, Jacob Fashbaugh. The regiment was raised in Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, and some other of the Western States, and was to be called the Northwestern Sharp-shooters, but as the officers from other States were commissioned by the governor of Illinois, they came under the control of that State, and despite the agreement that the regiment should be known as the First Regiment Northwestern Sharpshooters, it was mustered into the United States service as the Forty-fourth Illinois Infantry, and served as such during the war. Captain Hayes and others made strenuous opposition, but without avail. Many of the officers were put under arrest on account of their opposition to being forced to go into an organization for which they did not volunteer, and for the first year and a half after the regiment entered the service, there was a continual quarrel and dispute between the officers and men representing the different States. It, however, quieted down to some extent, and the regiment for the last two years of the war did efficient service. At the muster in of the regiment Company D had ninety-seven men, including officers, and during the war it received twenty-seven recruits from Fulton county. CHAPTER XXXVIII. THE BENCH AND BAR OF FULTON COUNTY. ON the 28th day of February, 1850, the act creating the county of Fulton passed the General Assembly of Ohio, and immediately thereafter became a law. After setting forth and stating the boundaries and description of the newly created county, the Act contained among other provisions, which it is unnecessary to mention here, the following : " That all suits, whether of a civil or a criminal nature, which shall be pending within those parts of the counties of Lucas, Henry and Williams, so set off and erected into a new county, previous to the first Monday in April, 1850, shall be prosecuted to final judgment and execution within the said counties of Lucas, Henry and Williams, respectively in the same manner as though the said county of Fulton had not been erected ; and the officers of said counties respectively, shall execute all such process as shall be necessary to carry into effect such suits, prosecutions and judgments." And there were also embodied in the Act certain other necessary provisions as follows: " That said county of Fulton shall be attached to and made a part of the thirteenth judicial circuit of the State of Ohio, and the Courts of Common Pleas and the Supreme Courts of the county shall be holden at some convenient house in the township of Pike, to be designated by the associate judges of said county until the permanent seat 388 - HISTORY OF HENRY AND FULTON COUNTIES. of justice shall be established within and for said county, and that Laurin Dewey, of Franklin county, Matthias H. Nichols, of Allen county, and John Riley, of Carroll county, be, and the same are hereby appointed commissioners to fix upon and locate the seat of justice of said new county of Fulton, agreeably to the provisions of the act entitled. An act for the establishment of seats of justice.'" It will occur at once to any one at all familiar with the history of legal practice and procedure in Ohio, that here was quite a fair chance for a comparatively even start, and in nearly a clear field for the Bench and Bar of the newly created county ; because but little more than tbree years later than the erection of the county by law, the present code of civil procedure of Ohio went into effect, and with but slight alteration or amendment has subsequently continued, abrogating and sweeping away the technical learning relating to the rules of pleading at common law, and in chancery, but not, however, affecting the underlying principles of the logical or legal statement of those ultimate facts which constitute the cause of action or defense in civil proceedings, and which are called in the phraseology of the law the pleadings, the term, however at common law not comprehending the declaration. Previous to the adoption of the code which went into effect on the first day of July, 1853, the the common law practice, both as to forms and rules of procedure, except in criminal proceedings, it is hardly necessary to state, prevailed in the State of Ohio, and in nearly every State of the Union, and especially as to that portion of it designated and known as pleading, was strict, subtle and quite too frequently special. In respect also to the different kinds of actions and the forms thereof it was cumbersome and arbitrary. But, following the example of New York, the pioneer code State, by a few words through the medium of her Legislature, and upon the recommendation of the code commissioners, Ohio cleared away the technical rubbish of centuries, and substituted therefor the " one form of action which shall be known as a civil action," as the expression is in the initial words of the act. The forms of pleadings were also defined in a few plain words, and restricted to petition, demurrer, answer and reply ; feigned issues were abolished, and it was enacted that the language of the law should be ordinary and concise so far at least as the pleadings are concerned. This was nearly a revolution in legal procedure, but as revolutions outside of the domain of municipal law are sometimes salutary, so this one within also was, as nearly forty years of experience have amply demonstrated. The code of civil procedure in Ohio, and the county of Fulton are nearly coeval. Before the inhabitants of the county scarcely realized that they had been organized under a new county government, certainly before all the incidents of organization had been settled, the new method of legal procedure had been established, and the code' and the county started almost together, and although the fact may not in view of the usual methods of legal study FULTON COUNTY - 389 and former practice, have been of any special permanent value to the attorneys who went to the new county to practice, yet the newness of procedure corresponded with the general sense of newness that pervaded everything. Everything was novel because everything was new. It may not be improper to state here, and mainly for the benefit of the unprofessional reader who may be attracted to this chapter on the bench and bar of Fulton county, that the organization and jurisdiction of the courts of Ohio were unaffected by the code, and also to name them, and briefly to outline their distribution of jurisdiction. The Supreme Court, the Circuit, the Common Pleas, the Probate, and the Courts of Justices of the Peace constitute the judicial department of Ohio. There are also a few superior courts, but they are of special character, and to meet special exigencies, and can hardly be called a part of the general judicial system of the State. The Circuit Court is a recent substitution for the old District Court, and has about the same appellate jurisdiction. To employ the terms of the common law, the Supreme Court of Ohio is the highest court in the realm, that is in the Commonwealth, and, as if having the English model in view, has no original jurisdiction, unless the issuing of writs in mandamus and quo warrant() may be called that. Its main function is the determination of disputed or unsettled questions of law, upon petition in error, reserved now in the Circuit Court, but formerly in the District Court. The appellate jurisdiction from the Common Pleas, is the Circuit Court. The Common Pleas Court has original jurisdiction in criminal cases, but not exclusively so, some minor offenses being assigned to the Probate Court for hearing and determination there, but as to divorce and alimony the jurisdiction of the Common Pleas Court is original and exclusive. Its appellate jurisdiction arises from the Probate Court, from Courts of Justices of the Peace, and in certain cases from the board of county commissioners. The exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Probate is confined to probate and testamentary matters, administrators and guardians, inquests of lunacy, appropriations of private property by corporations, and minor crimes. The civil jurisdiction of justices of the peace is usually confined to their respective townships, but their criminal jurisdiction which is only preliminary, is co-extensive with the county. There are also some special civil cases within their jurisdiction, and they possess some distinctive powers not necessary here to be stated. But the assertion may be ventured that there can be no greater conservator of good order and peace in any community, and especially among a rural people, than an intelligent, thoughtful, honorable justice of the peace. It is needless to describe the thirteenth judicial circuit to which by the creative act Fulton county was attached, because as a result of the provisions of the State constitution of 1851, that circuit was abolished, and by section twelve of article eleven thereof, Fulton county was made a part of the second subdivision of the third judicial district. Under the constitution of 1802, how- 390 - HISTORY OF HENRY AND FULTON COUNTIES. ever, Courts of Common Pleas consisted of a president judge and not more than three, nor less than two associate judges, and had common law, and chancery jurisdiction " in all such cases as shall be. directed by law." Therefore both law and equity were for a brief period administered in Fulton county under the old system ; that is by a president judge, usually a lawyer, assisted by laymen, quite generally justices of the peace, but sometimes having the sole qualification, or rather recommendation of being politically prominent. The constitution of 1802 provided also for three circuits, and empowered the Legislature after the lapse of five years, if necessary, to increase them, which was accordingly done from time to time, until in 1850 there were at least thirteen circuits. It should be noted also, that the Common Pleas judges were all elected by the Legislature, there being about that feature of Ohio's first constitution the strong suggestion of English precedent, to be succeeded, however, by an entirely elective judiciary by the express provisions of the constitution of 1851. Population, property, and therefore sources of litigation increasing in the second subdivision as well as elsewhere in the State, and consequently business in the Court of Common Pleas, in 1878, this subdivision was again divided, and Fulton county was allotted to, and is now a part of the third subdivision of the third judicial district, the other counties in the subdivision being Henry and Putnam, and now constitute the sphere of the judicial labors of Hon. William H. Handy. In accordance with the provisions of the creative act, to which reference has been made, the first term of the Court of Common Pleas held in Fulton county, was in Pike township, and at the house of Robert Howard, who kept an old-fashioned inn or tavern. Judge Palmer, of Paulding county presided. The attorneys then residing in the county were the Hon. Amos Hill, Lucius H. Upham, and Hon. Reuben C. Lemmon, now a Common Pleas judge of Lucas county, and one of the leading jurists of the State. It being, however, the purpose of this chapter, as its heading imports, more particularly to sketch the character and career of the respective members of the Fulton bench and bar, no description will he attempted either from any slight records that may possibly exist, or any reminiscences that may be gathered, of the first court held in the county, and no reflections indulged as to any contrasts, differences or resemblances, either real or fanciful, between the present means and methods of administering justice and conserving the peace in Fulton county, and what they were nearly forty years ago. BRIEF SKETCHES OF EARLY AND PRESENT PRACTITIONERS. Hon. Lucius H. Upham. Immediately following the formation of Fulton county, Mr. Upham located at Delta and opened a law office. He was then in the prime of life, having been born in 1808, at Windsor county, Vt., and receiving .a thorough preliminary education for the active business of life at Chester Insti- FULTON COUNTY - 391 tute, in his native county. He then came to Ohio and located and lived for several years at Wooster, Wayne county, and in 1841 began studying law with Judge Levi Cox. In 1843 Mr. Upham was admitted to the bar, and for the first six years thereafter practiced his profession at Wooster, from which place lie removed to Fulton county. Mr. Upham, R. C. Lemmon and Amos Hill became citizens of the county about the same time. In 1856 Mr. Upham was elected to the Legislature of Ohio, and served one term in the House of Representatives thereof, his constituency being the counties of Lucas and Fulton. It was but recently that Mr. Upham withdrew from active business. Though starting in the law somewhat late in life, he has been a successful lawyer. His knowledge of legal principles as exemplified in his active practice, and as counsel, was thorough and profound. He knows well the maxims of the law, and always was apposite in applying them. Of the pleasantest humor, sterling honesty, and manners of kind simplicity, it always has been a pleasure to his brethren to transact the business of the bar and the courts with him. About five years ago quietly and informally he withdrew from the courts, and now is but seldom seen in the haunted places of business activity of any kind, preferring to spend his closing days in the retirement of contemplative quiet. Mr. Upham was twice married, and his oldest son is an attorney and resides in the State of California, but does not practice law, finding other business more congenial. Hon. Amos Hill. On the 10th day of June, 1850, and within a few months after the legal creation of the county, Hon. Amos Hill became one of its residents, and immediately opened a law office. Mr. Hill still survives, but is not now and for several years past has not been actively engaged in the legal profession owing to ill health. In point of continuous practice he is the oldest attorney in the county. He is a native of Stark county, 0., and was born April 4, 1824. Early in life he removed with his parents to Williams county, where he grew to young manhood on a farm, receiving in the meantime a good common school education, and teaching school for a brief period. He studied law with the Hon. S. E. Blakeslie, at Bryan, 0., and was admitted to the bar a few months previous to his settlement in Fulton county. He resided at Ottokee, the county seat, until 1870, when he removed to Wauseon, whither the seat of justice had just previously been removed. For the first twenty years of his practice he was recognized as among the very foremost of the attorneys of the Fulton county bar. By nature thoughtful, studious, and painstaking, and zealous in behalf of any interest intrusted to him, he acquired, and for many years transacted a lucrative professional business. While not brilliant as an advocate, yet he most thoroughly and exhaustively prepared his cases, both as to the law and the facts, which, combined with his soundness of judgment and unfailing rectitude and integrity in all matters entrusted to his professional confidence, gave him marked success both as an office and a trial lawyer. 392 - HISTORY OF HENRY AND FULTON COUNTIES. In 1866 he was elected to represent Fulton county in the House of Representatives of Ohio, where he served his constituents with fidelity and ability for four years, having been re-elected in 1868. He still resides at Wauseon, but, as has been stated, because of his physical infirmities, is no longer engaged in active practice, confining himself to office work. The Hon. Reuben C. Lemmon is a native of Seneca county, N. Y., and is now aged sixty-two years. In his youth he removed to Ohio, and studied law, and was admitted to the bar at Tiffin, Seneca county, this State. At the date of his admission he was twenty-five years old. A year later, in April, 1851, he became a citizen of Fulton county, locating in Pike township, the courts of the county being held there at that time. In 1852 he formed a partnership with Henry S. Commager and went to Maumee city, then the seat of justice of Lucas county. Early in 1854 Toledo became the seat of justice, about which time Mr. Lemmon went to Toledo, where he has since resided. Until 1874 Mr. Lemmon assiduously and very successfully practiced law in Lucas and the adjoining counties, never relinquishing his large business in Fulton county until he became Common Pleas judge at the above date. The judge has been twice married, his first wife dying in 1857. In 1859, at London, Eng., he married an estimable English lady. His son, Charles H., by his first wife, is his only child, and is prominent among the younger members of the Lucas county bar. Mr. Lemmon was a very successful lawyer, and is a learned and competent judge. But few lawyers or judges have attained the honorable standing that he has occupied for many years, and no attorney at the bar of either Lucas or Fulton county, was, or is more generally and highly esteemed for learning, integrity and solid mental and moral worth than Judge Lemmon. Michael Handy, esq., one of the most prominent leaders of the Fulton county bar for upwards of thirty years, was not to the "manor born," but came to Lucas county, 0., from New York, his native State, in 1840, having previously seen considerable of the world, both in the States and in Canada. He began active life as a school teacher and farmer, having previous to his admission to the bar in 1850, at the mature age of forty years, taught school in many districts in Fulton county, and redeemed a farm therein from the wilderness. He was a robust, many-sided man, with natural endowments both mental and physical of splendid vigor and activity. He was Fulton county's second prosecuting attorney, succeeding John H. Reid to that office in 1852, the same year of his admission to the bar. In 1886 he died full of years and honors honestly won and maintained. For many years he was associated with his son, Hon. Wm. H. Handy, now judge of the Court of Common Pleas, in law practice, and was a foeman well worthy the steel of the ablest lawyers of Northwestern Ohio. As a jury lawyer he was especially strong. He was a man of the people and knew them, their excellences, their weaknesses, their prejudices. Upon his professional' name or his reputation as a citizen, there FULTON COUNTY - 393 never was blown the breath of dishonorable suspicion or accusation. His wife preceded him to the grave several years, but to his five children who survive him, two of whom were most gallant and meritorious Union soldiers, he left the priceless heritage of a spotless name and a high and honorable professional reputation. Nathaniel Leggett, one of the earliest members of the bar of Fulton county, died in February, 1862, being then in the prime of life. Of his early career but little can be ascertained. Before the formation of Fulton county he resided in that part of it now embraced in Swan Creek township, where he hunted and cleared the land surrounding him, and engaged somewhat in farming. Making the acquaintance of members of the Lucas county bar at Maumee city, he conceived the idea of becoming a lawyer, and with that in view borrowed books of Hosmer and Hall of Maumee city, and in the solitude of the then almost unbroken wilderness of the southeastern part of the county, began and prosecuted his studies, and was admitted to practice early in the fifties. His natural qualifications for business were excellent and he was of valuable service to the company then building the "Air Line" railway in assisting to procure the right of way through Lucas and Fulton counties. He was also treasurer of Fulton county two terms. Together with Barber and Sargent he laid out the village of Wauseon, and became the owner of considerable valuable real estate in the village. Being immersed in matters of general business he never found the time, or so adjusted the circumstances of his life as to devote himself exclusively to his chosen profession. He is spoken of by those who knew him best, as of sterling mental qualities and full of energy and ambition. He contracted the disease which culminated in his death in Kentucky whither he had gone on official business connected with the Union army. His remains. were laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery of Wauseon, he being the first person buried therein. A modest memorial stone placed there by his old friend: and business associate, Col. E. L. Barber, marks the location of his last earthly home. Hon, Moses R. Brailey is a native of the State of New York, and was born at Ontario county, in that State, on the 2d day of November, 1816. In 1837 having just attained his majority, he started to seek his fortune in the West, as Ohio was then called, locating in the same year in Huron county. He had been in Ohio but a short time before he began to take an active part in local politics, and his attention was thereby directed to the legal profession as a means, among other objects, of securing prominence and influence. Being encouraged by his neighbors, who had begun to appreciate his talents and energy, and having received in his boyhood, m New York, the rudiments of a sound English education, which had been supplemented by considerable reading and close observation of human nature, he concluded to study law. In 1840 he entered the office of Stone and Kellogg, a leading firm at Norwalk, the county 394 - HISTORY OF HENRY AND FULTON COUNTIES. seat of Huron county, and after two years of close application, was admitted to the bar in 1842, and at once opened an office in Norwalk. Devoting himself assiduously to his profession, he soon secured a living business, and in 1852 was elected prosecuting attorney of that county, the duties of which he discharged with excellent success. Having real estate interests of considerable value and promise in the then new county of Fulton, in 1857 he removed to that county, and, opening a law office, in 1858 he was elected prosecuting attorney, and was again elevated thereto in 1860, acquiring also a large civil business in the meantime. Immediately on the first call of President Lincoln for troops to defend the government from the assaults of armed rebellion, and on the 17th day of April, 1861, Mr. Brailey enlisted as a private in a company which was recruited for, and expected to become, a part of the historic 14th Ohio Volunteers, the first colonel of which was the gallant James B. Steedman. For some reason, known best to the military authorities of the State, the company was disbanded in June, 1861, without being sent to the field of active military operations. On the 13th of August, 1861, Mr. Brailey again enlisted in the Union army, and was commissioned captain of Company I, in the 38th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and on the 1st day of January, 1862, was promoted to be major of the regiment. In March, of the same year, by reason of ill health, he was compelled to resign ; but devoting all his time and energies to the cause of his country, as soon as his health had been somewhat restored, Major Brailey set about the work of recruiting under the authority of the adjutant-general of the State, and in June, 1862, had raised a company for the 85th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, which was assigned to the duty of guarding rebel prisoners at Camp Chase. In this regiment he held the commission of a captain, but was transferred therefrom in August of the same year, to the 111th Regiment of Ohio Infantry, with the rank of major, and commanded that regiment in the field until the winter fol. lowing. In January, 1863, Major Brailey was promoted to the lieutenant-colonency of his regiment, and on the report of the Board of Army Surgeons attached to the military department of the Southwest, in January, 1864, he was discharged for disability, having just previously, for meritorious service, been brevetted brigadier-general. Immediately thereafter he was appointed pay agent for the State of Ohio, with headquarters at Columbus, and collected and disbursed over four millions of the money of Ohio soldiers, losing not a cent ; a splendid record and a glittering jewel in Colonel Braiiey's crown of earthly honors, and no doubt a precious and consoling remembrance to him in his old age. In addition to his other duties, while acting as pay agent, General Brailey assisted in the organization and equipment of eleven regiments of Ohio troops, for the field. At the State election, in 1865, the patriotic people of Ohio further rewarded the efforts of General Brailey, in behalf of his country, by electing him Comptroller of the State. treasury, to which position he was FULTON COUNTY - 395 again elected three years later, holding that high and responsible office for six years. In 1872 he returned to Fulton county and resumed the practice of his profession, since which time, until overtaken by the infirmities of old age, and the increasing severities of chronic maladies contracted in the army, he has been active and unceasing in all the varied and laborious work of the profession. As a lawyer, General Brailey has been somewhat of a specialist, inclining most to the criminal branch of the practice, in which he has shown signal ability, both in the management and advocacy of that class of cases. He is quite familiar not only with the general principles underlying the administration of law, but with the rules of practice as based on the Ohio Code of Civil Procedure, and that large amount of what may be termed judge-made law, or the common law as embodied in the reports of this and. other States, and which, as the late Judge Walker said, referring to the reports of England, is nothing less than the stupendous work of judicial legislation. General Brailev possesses a mind naturally ready and clear. For the speeches and arguments of eminent lawyers he always had a great fondness; and no other attorney in Northwestern Ohio, probably, can so readily and completely summarize the history of and the legal questions involved in the celebrated trials in this country and England during the last century and a half. He was married but once, and survives his wife. To them eleven children were born, three of whom are buried by the side of their mother in the quiet country churchyard of the Viers church in Fulton township. Since the above was written, and on Wednesday, the 8th day of January, 1888, General Brailey was stricken with apoplexy and died at the residence of his son, James S., in Wauseon. He was buried in the family burial lot in the Viers cemetery on January 20, 1888. Sydenham Shaffer was a native of Ohio, and born in 1829. His father was a prominent Methodist clergyman. In 1865 the subject of this sketch became a resident of Wauseon, and began practicing law. He held, from time to time, different municipal offices, and served one term as mayor of Wauseon. A short time subsequent to his locating in Fulton county he married the only daughter of Elnathan C. Gavitt, prominent in the history of pioneer Methodism in northwestern Ohio. On the 2d day of March, 1886, Mr. Shaffer died, leaving his wife, but no children. He did not assiduously devote himself to his profession except as pension attorney and solicitor. He was a man of good natural endowments, but his predilections were literary rather than legal. John W. Roseborough, now somewhat past middle age, has been practicing law at the village of Burlington, Fulton county, for about fifteen years Prior to his locating there he was prosecuting attorney of the county two terms, during which time his office was at Ottokee. He has taught school in different parts of the county, and been somewhat engaged in farming. For the 396 - HISTORY OF HENRY AND FULTON COUNTIES. past seven years he has been prominent among the leading advocates of the principles of the prohibition party thoughout the State. Elbridge T. Greenough was a native of New Hampshire, and was born at Boscawen in 1808. He was graduated at Dartmouth College in 1828, and studied law in the office of Ezekiel Webster, a brother of the " godlike Dan." Soon after Mr. Greenough's admission to the bar, and about the year 1830, he removed to Danville, Pa., where he practiced law six years. He then returned to his native State, and embarked in the mercantile business at Saulsbury. In 1860 he came to Wauseon, at which place he engaged in law business and real estate operations until his death, which occurred May 31, 1875. Mr. Greenough was a man of thorough literary and legal training, but interested himself mainly in commercial transactions, speculation, and cases at law of an ex parte nature. The honors of the profession he cared nothing about, and hence he did not achieve that local eminence, the reward of active, successful nisi Prins work. Octavius Waters was of English birth, but left the land of his nativity to become a sailor at the age of fifteen years. He received his education at an institution called Guy's Academy, in Worcestershire. During his career as a sa for he visited many portions of the globe, landing finally at New York city in 1844. Immediately thereafter he came to Ohio and located in Wood county, where he engaged in the work of the Christian ministry, and for several years was known as a devoted and eloquent Methodist clergyman. In 1851 he located in Fulton county, having just previously married, and engaged for a short time in mercantile pursuits at the village of Delta. Occupying all his leisure time for the next five years in legal study, in 1856 he was admitted to the bar, and at once began practicing law at Delta, at that time the most enterprising and populous place in the county. He was prosecuting attorney of Fulton county for two terms, and a representative for one term in the fifty- sixth general assembly of Ohio, and served as a presidential elector at the elections of Grant and Garfield to the presidency. At the date of his death, which occurred at Delta, he was sixty. four years old. Mr. Waters was very prominent as a Mason, and as a Republican politician. His ability as a lawyer, which undoubtedly would have been successful and conspicuous, was sacrificed at the shrine of his shining talents for popular oratory. He was a very brilliant speaker, and as such could ill brook the direful treadmill work and wearisome details of practice. Hence he was little known as a lawyer, and undoubtedly was careless of his reputation for legal ability. Had he loved the law his native and acquired abilities were such as unquestionably would have made him a great lawyer. William H. Handy. Judge Handy was born in Pike township, Fulton county, on the 29th day of January, 1847, and was the second son of M. Handy, esq. He received his education at the village scho0l, but left home FULTON COUNTY - 397 at the age of sixteen to become a Union soldier. From the summer of 1863 until the close of the war he was at the front and participated with his regiment, the gallant Sixty-seventh Ohio Infantry, in all that stubborn and bloody campaign, which, beginning at the Wilderness culminated in the capture of the Confederate capital, and the overthrow of the Rebellion. On his return home he immediately commended studying law with his father, but completed his studies in the city of Toledo with the Hon. R. C. Lemmen. In 1869 he was admitted to the bar, and was immediately associated with his father in business. From that period until December, 1884, when he was appointed judge of the Common Pleas Court to fill the vacancy occasioned by the elevation of Hon. J. J. Moore to the bench of the Circuit Court, Mr. Handy practiced law in Fulton county, except a brief interval during which he allowed himself to be diverted from his profession by the charms of local journalism, when he edited the Expositor, a weekly newspaper published at Wauseon. For a clear, comprehensive, ready knowledge of the law, Judge Handy has probably never had a superior at the Fulton county bar, and during his practice was recognized as especially able in the domain of pleading. In 1885 he was elected judge and in that position has given general satisfaction throughout the subdivision and wherever he has been called to preside in the courts of the district. But few of his decisions have been reversed by the Appellate Courts. Judge Handy is married, and the father of three children. William C. Kelley was of Irish descent and a native of Hancock county, 0. He was born in 1837. His early opportunities to acquire an education were somewhat meager but by strict self denial and perseverance he had accumulated a sufficient stock of knowledge to teach school by the time he arrived at man's estate. After teaching several terms in the counties of Hancock and Putnam, he began studying law with Henry Brown, esq., a prominent attorney of Findlay, the seat of justice of Hancock county, but relinquished his studies to enter the Union army as lieutenant of a company of Ohio Infantry, which office he resigned and came home by reason of trouble occasioned by the loss of his eye which he had sustained when a boy. Completing his studies at a law college, then in existence at the city of Cleveland, he was admitted to practice in the courts of Ohio, and came to Wauseon, Fulton county, in 1864. Entering upon his profession with energy and vigor he soon secured a large share of the legal business of the county, and rose rapidly to a place among the foremost attorneys of the county. For twenty-one years Mr. Kelley maintained a large professional business, and succeeded in acquiring a very large property. In the midst of his success and activity he was seized with a fatal illness, dying on the 27th day of June, 1885. He was married in 1869 to Miss Minnie Ayers, of Burlington, Ia., who survives him. Mr. Kelly was a shrewd and able lawyer, very prompt in the disposition of his business, 398 - HISTORY OF HENRY AND FULTON COUNTIES. and expected others to come strictly up to the mark of his own promptness and exactness. When the docket was called he was ready. He seldom asked for favors, professional or otherwise, and as seldom conferred them on any one. He had the reputation of being somewhat hasty and harsh, which if true probably arose from the bitterness and hardships of his early and rough experience. He was not a man of polish, and wasted but little time or thought on the pleasant amenities of life. He was careless of the form in which he presented an argument or a pleading and heartily despised sham and pretense, but the substance and the vital points in a case he always held to with a firm and unrelaxing grasp. Tried by his final success, which is the standard of the rough justice of the world, Mr. Kelley may be pronounced to have been an able lawyer. William W. Touvelle was born at Steubenville, 0., on May 12, 1847, and is of French extraction. His infancy and youth were spent at Celina, Mercer county, whither his parents removed in 848. He was educated in the public schools of Celina, and at the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md. Resigning his cadetship there after the expiration of two years, he began the study of law with the Hon. Frank C. Le Blond, of Celina, with whom he remained the customary two years, applying himself most assiduously to law, but not entirely neglecting other reading and study. In 1868 he was admitted to the bar, and locating in Fulton county he immediately entered into partnership with Hon. Amos Hill, at that time one of the most prominent attorneys in the county. Mr. Touvelle entered with energy and zeal upon the practice of law, but still kept up his study not only of legal principles but of general literature through all the varied and attractive avenues of history, biography and poetry; giving also attention to the cultivation of the attractive and effective gifts as a public speaker with which he had naturally been endowed. In 1872 he was elected prosecuting attorney of the county, and two years later was re-elected. It is disparagement to none of the able lawyers who have filled that office in Fulton county to say that the duties and responsibilities thereof were never discharged and taken care of with more consummate skill and ability than by Mr. Touvelle. Since 1876 he has devoted his attention entirely to his practice untrammeled by office or the desire therefor, though taking an ardent and influential part in politics both local and general as a Republican of the strictest sect. He has a leading practice, and is especially able and successful as a trial lawyer, whether the issue be one of law for the court, or one of fact for the jury. He possesses that faculty, the lack of which can be supplied to a lawyer by no other gifts or acquirements, the unerring sense of discernment of the strong and weak points of a casel and that skill and tact which can never be diverted from the vital points of the questions at issue. He probably never undertook a case unprepared, which is a fairly safe indication of that chival- >/p> FULTON COUNTY - 399 rous affection for the arduous calling of the law without which no permanent or satisfactory success can he achieved in it. Mr. Touvelle is married and has a pleasant home, devoting to it and his family both provident care and tender solicitude. Henry H. Ham, for many years prominent at the bar of Fulton county, came hither from Pennsylvania in 1870, and at once opened a law office in connection with his brother, Thomas F. Ham, in Wauseon. Henry, the elder of the firm, was born at Honesdale, Pa., on the 25th day of August, 1846, and was educated at Wyoming College, Luzerne county, in that State. He studied law with the firm of S. E. and W. H. Dimmick, able and prominent lawyers at Honesdale, and was admitted to the bar in the month of December, 1869, but remained at the office of his preceptors, until his departure for and settlement at Wauseon the following year. Nine years later, being then in the successful and competent discharge of his duties as prosecuting attorney of Fulton county, Mr. Ham returned to Pennsylvania and married Kate, the youngest daughter of Erastus Barnes, esq.l a prominent citizen of Warren county in that State. They have one child, a daughter. Mr. Ham has since his location in Fulton county, been conspicuous, not only as an able and talented lawyer, but in business enterprises as well. He always has been ready, not only with his means but his personal encouragement and co-operation in every useful local enterprise dependent upon public spirit, and in addition to a large and successful legal business which the firm has acquired by faithful and diligent effort, and which always has been well managed, he has found time and energy to embark in and assist in the conduct of private business enterprises that have conduced much to the prosperity of his adopted town and county. His splendid personal presence and manners of the most genial courtesy, would attract attention anywhere, and he is celebrated for his power and influence as an advocate and as a ready and effective political orator. His mental and physical organization is powerful, and he probably does not know the meaning of fear in the thick of a legal fight. As a jury lawyer he is at his best but disdains technicalities. He has not, and does not pretend to any mental grasp of what may be called technical points, but fights and wins or loses fairly on the merits. He is a man of great kindness of heart, and of the most generous impulses, and is popular with both his legal brethren and the people generally. Thomas F. Ham is a native of Pennsylvania, and was born at the city of Honesdale on the first day December, 1847. He received his literary education at Wyoming College, in Luzerne county, a noted historic place in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Upon attaining his majority he entered the office of C. P. and G. G. Waller, of Honesdale, where he remained two years as a law student, and was admitted to the bar in the month of December, 1869. In the spring of 1870 he located with his brother Henry in Fulton county, 0., and
