HISTORY OF THE WAR CONTINUED.
COMPANY F, NINETY-FIFTH OHIO INFANTRY-COMPANIES D AND F, ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEENTH OHIO INFANTRY-COMPANIES A, B, C, D, E AND F, ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIFTH OHIO NATIONAL GUARD-COMPANY D, FIRST OHIO CAVALRY-COMPANY A. TENTH OHIO CAVALRY-THE EIGHTEENTH UNITED STATES REGULARS-THE "SQUIRREL HUNTERS."
IN the month of August, 1861, company F was recruited, by Captain David Thomas, and assigned to the Ninety-fifth infantry. In a short time the regiment received marching orders, and proceeded to Lexington, Kentucky. On its arrival at that place rumors of a rebel advance via Cumberland Gap caused the transfer of about ten thousand troops to Richmond, Kentucky.
On the twenty-ninth of August the brigade of General Manson, then five miles south of Richmond, had an encounter with Kirby Smith's advance. They remained all night on the field, confident of success; but it was not so decreed. Blind to danger. and bold to rashness, our troops not only stood their ground, but advanced to meet certain defeat and almost certain death. The next morning the rebel army made an attack. After some skirmishing, our troops were driven headlong from their position. One hundred and twenty men of the Ninety-fifth, and a majority of the line officers, deeming themselves the only representatives of the State on the field, stood their ground until completely surrounded, when they were compelled to surrender.
In this battle eight men were killed, forty-seven wounded and six hundred captured. Among the wounded were Major Jefferson Brumback and Captain David Thomas, of Newark. The loss of the other regiments engaged .was about two-hundred and fifty killed and eight hundred wounded.
The regiment after being paroled was regularly exchanged in November, 1862, when it was reorganized and recruited to nearly its original strength.
On the twenty-fifth of May, 1863, the regiment was ordered to Memphis, at which place a division was organized for service at Vicksburgh. It took part in the siege and assaults until a few days before the capture of the city.
The Ninety-fifth aided in the capture of Jackson, Mississippi, and also in the operations around the Big Black river, where it captured a battery of four guns and sixty rebel gunners. After the fall of Jackson the Fifteenth corps, to which the Ninety-fifth was attached, marched with General Sherman to the relief of Chattanooga. During the winter the Ninety-fifth was assigned to the Sixteenth. corps, with which it served until the end of the war.
Early in June, 1864, an expedition, composed of three brigades of infantry, a division of cavalry and a strong force of artillery, under the command of General Sturgis, undertook to strike the Mobile & Ohio road near Tupelo. Memories of the Richmond disaster yet lingered in the minds of the men, and it was with forebodings they pursued their march. They arrived at Guntown on the tenth of June, and at once engaged with the enemy, but were defeated. The regiment went into the fight with nineteen commissioned officers and three hundred muskets, and returned to Memphis with nine officers and about one hundred and fifty men.
In July, the Ninety-fifth, in company with Major General A. J: Smith, again set out from Memphis for the purpose of retrieving the former disaster. The rebels under D. N. Lee and Forrest, attacked them, but were defeated with heavy loss.
Owing to a rumored movement of General Price, a division-in which the Ninety-fifth served - was placed under command of General Mower,
328 - HISTORY OF LICKING COUNTY.
for operations in Arkansas. But on arriving at Little Rock it was found that Price had marched to Missouri. Mower pursued until Rosecrans turned back the head of the rebel column, and it finally disappeared in the wilds of Arkansas. The regiment then proceeded to Nashville, Tennessee, where the enemy was encountered, and skirmishing was engaged in for several days. The cloud that for two years rested on this regiment sailed away, and success was met with on every side. The regiment then joined General Canby's forces at New Orleans, where it arrived in March, 1865. Early. in April the Ninety-fifth began a northward march. On the nineteenth of August, 1865, it was mustered out of the service.
The rolls disclosed the fact that of one thousand and eighty-five officers and men composing this regiment, five hundred and twenty eight were killed in battle, or died of wounds or disease in the service. Company F alone had lost thirty-four men on the field and in hospital.

COMPANY D, ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEENTH
OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.-This Company was recruited in August, 1862, by Captain Marvin M. Munson, of Granville.
On the twenty-seventh of December, company D, together with the regiment, was ordered to Louisville. The order was unexpected, as the organization was incomplete; but in two hours after its reception the One Hundred and Thirteenth was on its way, finely equipped.
On January 13, 1863, Captain Munson resigned his commission, and the command of the boys of company D devolved upon other officers during their term of service. The same month the regiment moved from Louisville to Mouldraugh's Hill, but returned again in a short time, and embarked for Nashville. The regiment then moved to Franklin, having been assigned to General C. C. Gilbert's division, and took part in several expeditions against the enemy.
The command formed the right wing of the army of the Cumberland, and entered upon the Tullahoma campaign, but was not in an engagement It participated in the Chattanooga campaign as a part of the reserve corps.
The One Hundred and Thirteenth bore a distinguished part in the battle of Chickamauga, being brought into action on the second day, at a most critical point and moment. The loss was heavy in the regiment; being one hundred and thirty-eight officers and men out of three hundred and eighty-two that went into action.
At the battle of Mission Ridge the division was detached from the Fourteenth corps, and formed a part of General Sherman's force.
The regiment moved to the relief of Knoxville, and endured all the sufferings and trials of that campaign.
After Longstreet was forced to retire, it returned to Chattanooga, and eight miles south of that place went into winter quarters.
The Atlanta campaign opened May 7, 1864. The One Hundred and Thirteenth took an active part in all the operations around Atlanta, and was almost always under fire.
In the battle of Kenesaw, the regiment formed the first line of assault, and consequently lost heavily. After the fall of Atlanta the regiment was sent to Chattanooga; from that place it marched southward, and joined Sherman in his "march to the sea." With one exception, the march of the One Hundred and Thirteenth was unbroken until it reached the defenses of Savannah. After the evacuation of the city it camped on the Savannah river until a crossing was effected, when the One Hundred and Thirteenth found itself on South Carolina soil.
The regiment was severely engaged at Bentonville, fighting hand-to-hand. After the surrender of Johnson it moved via Richmond, Virginia, to Washington city, then proceeded to Louisville, Kentucky, where it was mustered out on the sixth of July, 1865. Twenty-five Licking county boys lost their lives while serving in this company.
COMPANY F, ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEENTH
REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.-Captain Levi T. Nichols, of Newark, and Lieutenant Nelson Durant, of Hartford, recruited this company fur the One Hundred and Thirteenth regiment, all from Licking county, excepting about twenty men who were enlisted in Franklin. The career of this company is almost a repetition of that of company D in the same regiment. Captain Nichols served until the close of the war.
Lieutenant Durant, after being promoted to a captaincy, was honorably .discharged in November, 1864.
The company lost seventeen men in the service, who were from Licking county.

ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIFTH OHIO NATIONAL GUARD.-Six companies, under command of Captains W. A. McKee, U, S. Westbrook, L J. Johnson, John H. Baird, John L Francis and Lieutenant John C. Hancock, were recruited in Licking county for this regiment, to nerve one hundred days, and on the eleventh of May, 1864, left for Cumberland, Maryland, with the regiment eight hundred and fifty strong. They were soon ordered to Martinsburgh, & the companies were stationed along the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, with headquarters at Martinsburgh. On the morning of the third of July orders were received to abandon Martinsburgh, but the order failed to reach the companies at North Mountain; and after fighting five hours against three thousand rebels, with five pieces of artillery, they surrendered The men were taken to Andersonville, and the officers to Macon afterward to Columbia. Only about one half of those that were captured lived to return to their homes. Captain John L Francis, of company F, died in prison at Columbia, South Carolina, December 4, 1864. The remainder of the regiment that escaped capture moved in the direction of Maryland Heights and encamped near that place until the sixth of July, when it moved to John Brown's school-house and was engaged in skirmishing, with a loss of five killed, ten wounded, and twenty-seven missing. After this the regiment was engaged in guarding artillery on the heights, and remained on duty there until it was mustered out, which was on the first of September, 1864.
During its short but eventful term of service the mortality of this regiment exceeded, with one exception, that of any other band of men who went forth from Licking county. Eighty-eight men were lost on the field and in prison. Companies F and B alone. lost seventy-two men, nearly all of whom were starved to death in the Andersonville prison pens. The survivors to-day are the sternest adherents to the cause for which their comrades died that can be found in our midst, and no political demagogy can swerve them from voting in the future as they shot in the past.
Of the field and stab officers in this regiment who went out from Licking county may be mentioned Andrew Legg, colonel; David Thomas, jr., major; David H. Gregory, assistant surgeon; and Charles T. Dickinson, adjutant.

COMPANY D, FIRST OHIO VOLUNTEER CAVALRY.
-Company D was recruited in the latter part of the summer of 1861 by Captain David A. B. Moore, and was mustered into the service on the fifth of October, 1861. It being the first organization of its class raised in the county, there was once manifested a great desire to join its ranks.
About the first of December the regiment proceeded by rail and steamboat to Louisville, Kentucky, where it remained until the sixteenth of January, during which time the colonel-O. P. Ransom-resigned his commission. Orders were received to join General Thomas at Somerset. After four days' marching the regiment reached Lebanon, Kentucky, where it went into camp. The victory of Mill Springs had been achieved a few days before:
On the twelfth of February Lieutenant Colonel T. C. H. Smith also resigned his commission. His place was filled, however, by Colonel Minor Millikin, who commanded this famous cavalry regiment during most of its brilliant career.
The regiment arrived at Nashville, Tennessee, on the sixth of March, and there lay in camp until the fourteenth. It then marched through to the Tennessee river with General Thomas' division, and arrived at Pittsburgh Landing just after the bathe of that name had ceased. It took part in the advance upon Corinth, having frequent skirmishes with the enemy, with, however, but slight loss.
On the twelfth of June, 1862, the First returned to Corinth, where it remained for about a week. On the seventeenth it moved eastward to guard the line of the Mobile & Charleston railroad. Com panics L and M, under command of Captain Pal. ten, were stationed at Bear creek, near Iuka. Companies B, D, G and H, under Colonel Milliken, were stationed at Tuscumbia, the headquarters of General Thomas. The remainder of the regiment, under Captain Eggleston, proceeded further east to Courtland. A detachment from Tuscumbia, under the command of Captain Emery, had a severe engagement with the rebels about the first of July. On the twenty-fifth of July Courtland was attacked by a large force of rebel cavalry under General Anderson.
Two companies of the Tenth Kentucky infantry, and companies E and K of the First Ohio cavalry engaged in this battle, but were defeated. The remnants of the detachment reached Decatur on the twenty-sixth, from which place they marched through to Athens, Alabama, rejoining the regiment on the thirtieth of July.
HISTORY OF LICKING COUNTY. - 337
On the seventeenth of August, Colonel Millikin, with six companies moved to McMinnville, while the other four; under Captain Patten, were sent on a scout to Fayetteville. On their return they were assigned to duty at General Crittenden's headquarters. Colonel Millikin, with the First battalion, marched through to Louisville, and on the second day of October left that place and engaged in battle near Shepherdstown, capturing twenty-five prisoners.
Major Laughlin's detachment left Louisville on the second of October, and met the enemy nine miles from Bardstown, where a lively battle ensued, with a loss of twenty-five killed and wounded
The next service of the First cavalry was in the advance of our forces, under General Rosecrans, on Murfreesborough, Tennessee.
On the twenty-seventh of December the regiment had a skirmish at Triune, and on the twenty-ninth encountered and defeated Wharton's brigade of rebel cavalry. In this battle of Stone River, Colonel Minor Millikin was killed. His death was keenly felt by all who knew him, and was mourned by his comrades as the brave mourn for the brave. Major David A. B. Moore, of Newark, was also killed in this battle, and old company D lost a beloved commander, and the country lost a patriotic defender.
After the death of Colonel Millikin the command of the regiment devolved upon Major Laughlin On the first of July, 1863, the regiment entered Tullahoma, and after heavy skirmishing commenced its march over the Cumberland mountains, encamping the following month near Stevenson, Alabama. The regiment was at this time .under command of Lieutenant Colonel Cupp.
On the nineteenth of September it arrived on the Chickamauga battle-field. After a very severe contest, the battle ended, but not without the loss of its brave commander, Lieutenant Colonel Cupp, who was universally beloved.
The command now devolved upon Major T. J. Patten, under whom the First calvary fell back into Chattanooga
On the twenty-sixth of September, General Crook's division, of which the First cavalry formed a part, was dispatched to guard the Teen river from Chattanooga to Washington, in east Tennessee. The First was stationed at the latter place.
On the first of October the rebel General Wheeler, with eight thousand cavalry, broke through General Crook's lines. A severe engagement followed, in which our forces were defeated General Crook hastily gathered up his scattered command and at once set out in pursuit of the rebels, who were advancing rapidly over the mountains towards McMinnville, and so vigorous was the chase that the rebels dared not stay in one place long enough to effect any damage..
The regiment proceeded to march toward Chattanooga, arriving there on the twenty-second of November. On the evening of the same day, General Sherman having already moved his forces across the river above the town, the First Ohio, and five other cavalry regiments under Colonel Long, crossed over and made a raid in rear of Bragg's position, which, for its brilliant success, is unsurpassed in the annals of the cavalry.
About this time Colonel B. B. Eggleston returned from recruiting service in Ohio, and assumed command of the regiment. January r, 1864, Colonel Eggleston moved the regiment to Pulaski, Tennessee, and from that place they proceeded to Ohio to spend the thirty days furlough, to which all veterans were entitled.
On the first of April the First cavalry was again re-united at Nashville, Tennessee recruited to full ranks.
On the twenty-second of May, together with the Third and Fourth Ohio cavalry, under their old commander Colonel Long, it started to join the advancing column of Sherman, then near Rome, Georgia.
On the twenty-nineth the regiment participated in a severe engagement at Moulton, resulting in the complete defeat of General Roddy, who had attacked Long's brigade. The regiment joined the main army near Allatoona, on the sixth of June, and retrained with it until after the fall of Atlanta. k In front of Kenesaw the First cavalry had frequent and severe skirmishing, in which it lost about thirty men. The regiment accompanied General Kilpatrich nick in his raid around Atlanta. When surrounded by the enemy the First particularly distinguished itself by holding in check for some time a force

from Cleburne's rebel infantry division, with a loss of fifty men. Among the killed was Captain William H. Scott, of company D. Scott was another of Newark's sons. He entered the service as a private soldier, but rapidly advanced through the ranks of second and first lieutenant to a captaincy on account of his skill and daring as a soldier. At Lovejoy station he and five others charged a rebel battery-Scott with a hatchet, no other implement being at hand. They took the battery, but. were completely surrounded by the rebels, and were obliged to cut their way out with their sabers. Scott was fatally wounded by a shell exploding and killing his horse. A comrade took him from the field when he died. Colonel Eli Long was severely wounded in this battle. The regiment then went into camp near Atlanta.
When General Hood attempted to cut Sherman's communications the First cavalry followed in pursuit. On the seventeenth of November the regiment arrived at Louisville, and on the twenty-eighth of December left that place to join the cavalry corps on the Tennessee.
James W. Kirkendall, of this county, was about this time, January 6, 1865, promoted to a captaincy and commanded the company until the final muster out.
During the month of February, 1865, the First Ohio was transferred from the Second brigade, Second division, and brigade with the Seventh Ohio and Fifth Iowa, forming the Second brigade, Fourth division, which was placed under the command of Brevet Brigadier General A. J. Alexander.
On the twenty-second of April Macon was entered, where the force heard of the surrender of Lee. The regiment then garrisoned Georgia and South Carolina, until the thirteenth of September, when it was mustered out, paid oft, and discharged at Columbus, Ohio, on the twenty-eighth of September, 1865. The company had lost seventeen men in battle and hospital during its term of service.

COMPANY A, TENTH OHIO VOLUNTEER CAVALRY.
This company was recruited in October, 1862, by Captain William Thayer. The first move was toward Nashville, Tennessee, thence, to Murfreesborough, at which place and vicinity it remained until the army of the Cumberland opened the campaign against General Bragg at Tullahoma. During this campaign, the Tenth cavalry was engaged wherever duty called, performing a vast amount of marching and fighting, and vanquishing such rebel cavalry as it met.
At the battle of Chickamauga, the main portion of the regiment was engaged in guarding communications in the rear. After the battle the Tenth was ordered up the Sequatchie valley, and while at this place a portion of the regiment was detailed to accompany a detachment of the Fifteenth Pennsylvania cavalry on a scout into east Tennessee. This detachment was absent from the regiment about three months, and during that time was almost daily engaged with the enemy. At. one time the detachment defeated a force of five hundred rebels. The regiment then marched to Ringgold, Georgia, and was at once attached to the Second brigade, Third division cavalry corps. At the battle of Resaca the Tenth, under Colonel Smith, fought valiantly, but with considerable loss. The regiment was actively engaged in all of Kilpatrick's movements during Sherman's Atlanta campaign. The great "march to the sea" was inaugurated. This promised serious work for the cavalry. The enemy was first encountered at Jonesville, Georgia, and from that place to Savannah scarcely a day passed without encounters with the rebels. The victory at Lovejoy's station was mainly due to a general charge by the entire division of cavalry. Bear Creek station was next the scene of action, which battle the Tenth was successful According to instructions from General Sherman, the regiment moved on to Macon, and at that place engaged in battle. General Kilpatrick fought his command to within a mile of the city, and under the fire of thirteen pieces of artillery, the Tenth Ohio, led by Captain Hofford, charged the work with drawn sabers, and never halted until the fort was entered and two pieces of artillery were captured, but not without heavy loss. Captain J. Hofford was taken prisoner. The enemy was also encountered at Griswoldsville, Gordon and Milledgeville.
When the capital of , the State fell into the hands of the national army, Kilpatrick was ordered to -move his command and assist in rescuing our prisoners, then in stockades between Millen and Augusta. Kilpatrick proceeded to cross the Oconee river, and move on the Augusta road, by way of the Ogechee shoals. Arriving at the shoals, Captain Estes, with a detachment of the Tenth, left the command and marched rapidly in the direction of Waynesborough, but reaching that place too late to rescue our prisoners, as they had been removed to some point south The command then withdrew in the direction of Louisville, Georgia, closely followed by Wheeler, with whom several conflicts occurred, our troops always repulsing their attacks. After a few days' rest at Louisville, orders were received from General Sherman to move toward Augusta.
A short distance from Louisville the regiment encountered the rebel cavalry; attacked and drove it in the direction of Waynesborough. The next siege occurred on the first of December, 1864. The national force numbered but five thousand six hundred, while the rebel cavalry numbered from ten to twelve thousand. The Second division moved out in advance. The men of the Ninetysecond Illinois, on foot, with their Spencer sevenshooters, made directly for the, barricades, while the Tenth, with drawn sabers, charged. on the flanks.
The advance squadron of the Tenth was led by Captain Samuel Norton, of company D, who - was killed at the head of his column. while encouraging his men to deeds of daring.
The enemy was completely routed and driven

eight miles. The loss on both sides. was severe. After this engagement the cavalry followed the army on its march to the coast. On reaching the Gulf railroad, Kilpatrick was ordered to cross the Ogechee river and try to communicate with our fleet from Kilkenny bluff: This was accomplished by Captain Estes and Captain Day of the Tenth Ohio cavalry. Colonel Smith, the commander of the Tenth, during the greater part of the time the regiment was in service, was on duty as brigade commander, and although greatly enfeebled by ill health, remained with his command until it reached Cartersville, Georgia, whet he was compelled to leave for home.
The regiment participated in the last campaign of the war through the Carolinas, frequently routing the enemy and invariably repulsing his attacks. It was finally mustered out at Lexington, North Carolina, on the twenty-fourth of July, 1865, and the men returned to Camp Cleveland for final discharge and payment. Captain Thayer, who recruited the first company and was consequently senior captain, was soon promoted to major.
Company A had lost five men by death in action and hospital, and its loss in wounded was severe.

EIGHTEENTH UNITED STATES INFANTRY.
First Lieutenant W. W. Stevenson, of the regular army, opened a recruiting office in Newark in the summer of 1861, to procure enlistments for the Eighteenth United States regulars-a new regiment then organizing under Colonel Carrington. Lieutenant Stevenson was assisted by Wilbur F. Arnold and James D. Wallace, two prominent young men of Newark who had patriotically enlisted in the Regular service.
About eighty men were recruited from Licking county and forwarded, in detachments, to the general rendezvous of the regiment at Columbus. The company entered the field the following fall, and did active and efficient service during the war It was en raged in the battles at and near Lebanon, Mill String, Somerset, and Louisville, Kentucky. Also at Fort Donelson, Nashville, Shiloh, Corinth, Iuka, Perryville, Stone River, and :Mission Ridge. It fought all through the Atlanta campaign, and was with Thomas' army at Franklin, Columbia, and Nashville.
Lieutenant Stevenson became quarter master of the regiment, and died in Kentucky during the winter of 1861-62.
Lieutenant Wilbur F. Arnold was first quartermaster sergeant and subsequently promoted to second- and first lieutenant. He served gallantly all through the war, and at its close was assigned to duty at Harrisburgh, Pennsylvania, as disbursing officer. He afterwards was ordered on duty in Texas, where he died of disease. Lieutenant Arnold was a young man of high scholarly attainments, and although physically disabled, his patriotism led hits to persevere in being accepted into the regular army. The country thus gained the services of a competent and gallant officer. His death,. in the morning of a promising manhood, was deeply deplored by his army associates as well as by a host of warm friends at home.
Sergeant James D. Wallace recruited most of the men fur this company, and being a good drill officer he brought the recruits to a high state of discipline and efficiency before they entered the field. He was soon promoted to sergeant major of the Second battalion, in consideration of his efficiency as a drill sergeant.
Seventeen Licking county men died while serving in this company, and many were wounded during the active and dangerous service which fell to the lot of the Eighteenth regulars.
As stated in a preceding chapter, many Licking county men, not included in the lists herein given, enlisted in companies and regiments in other counties and States. Quite a large detachment of colored men enlisted in the One Hundred and Twenty-seventh Ohio infantry, afterwards known as the Fifth Colored United States infantry these men saw very severe service under General Butler, near Petersburgh, Virginia, and a number of Newark boys were killed and wounded. Detachments and enlistments from Licking county not heretofore mentioned, entered the following organizations: Seventeenth Ohio volunteer infantry, One Hundred and Forty-second Ohio national guards, Forty-fifth Ohio volunteer infantry, Sixth United States cavalry, First Nebraska infantry. Thirtieth Ohio volunteer infantry, Eleventh Ohio volunteer infantry, Twenty-fourth Iowa infantry, Second Ohio heavy artillery, Fourth Ohio cavalry, Eighty-seventh Ohio volunteer infantry, One Hundred and Ninety-fourth Ohio volunteer infantry, Fifteenth Ohio volunteer infantry, One Hundred and Twenty-ninth Ohio volunteer infantry, Twenty-first Ohio volunteer infantry, Twenty-eighth Iowa infantry, Thirty-second Ohio volunteer infantry, Sixth Ohio volunteer infantry, Ninth Ohio volunteer cavalry, First Iowa cavalry, Seventy-eighth Ohio volunteer infantry, Sixty-First New York infantry, Eleventh Pennsylvania cavalry, Fourth Iowa infantry, Fourth Ohio

volunteer infantry, Sixth Ohio volunteer cavalry, One Hundred and Eighty-ninth Ohio volunteer infantry, Forty-fifth Illinois infantry, Twenty-fourth Ohio volunteer infantry, One Hundred and Twenty-first Ohio volunteer infantry, Thirteenth Ohio volunteer infantry, First United States engineers, Ninety-third Illinois infantry, One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Ohio volunteer infantry, First United States cavalry, Seventeenth Illinois infantry, and Eleventh Ohio volunteer cavalry.
Many entered the United States navy, the gunboat service, and the United States signal corps.
The list would not be complete of those who responded to their country's call without making special mention of the band of men who hastily threw aside pressing business engagements at home and entered upon a short term of service when the tide of battle rolled up close to their Ohio firesides. These. men were styled "Squirrel Hunters," they provided themselves with rifles and regular hunting accouterments, marching forth without uniform or tactics.
When Cincinnati was threatened in September, 1862, by the rebel General Kirby Smith, Governor Tod celled upon the State to furnish instantly, for a short term of service, all companies or squads of men and individuals who would volunteer for the defense of the State. "Throughout the interior church and fire bells rang, mounted men galloped through neighborhoods to spread the alarm; there was a hasty cleaning of rifles and moulding of bullets, and filling of powder horns, and mustering at the. villages; and every city bound train ran burdened with the gathering host."
Licking county furnished four hundred and four men for this service, embracing those from all the different walks of life; merchants, clerks, lawyers, and farmers who were tied to such occupations as to prevent them from entering into a longer service.
They went to Cincinnati and crossed over into Kentucky, performing garrison duty in the long line of works which had been thrown up for the protection of Cincinnati. After the threatened danger had passed they returned to their homes; and their services were recognized by the whole people of Ohio, and by the Governor who caused to be issued lithographic discharges, signed, sealed and delivered to the "Squirrel Hunters."
CHAPTER XLI.
HISTORY OF THE WAR CONTINUED.
ORGANIZATION OF THE SOCIETY OF THE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS OF LICKING COUNTY-A LIST OF ITS MEMBERS WITH THEIR ARMY RECORDS-THE GREAT STATE REUNION IN 1878-THE PRESIDE\T OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE GENERAL OF THE ARMIES VISIT NEWARK-THE VETERAN HOSTS OF OHIO RENEW THEIR PLIGHTED FIDELITY TO THE UNION.
IN 1877 the soldiers of Licking county-survivors of the late war organized a military society and inaugurated the grand movement of soldiers' re-unions, which was so successfully conducted in the years following throughout the State and in other parts of the country. There seemed to be a prevailing relaxation of interest in the cause which led these men to war seventeen years before. In fact the political aspect of the country warranted the belief that the grand principles so nobly sustained in battle were in danger of being ignored or forgotten through partisan prejudice.
The soldier was fearful, too, lest the dearly bought laurels he had won would be lost sight of in the busy scenes of varied peaceful avocations which had since led the country to such prosperity.
He became anxious that his sons should enjoy the same blessings after the actors in that epoch had passed away.
To secure these blessings to posterity, and to
HISTORY OF LICKING COUNTY. - 343
form a more perfect fellowship among comrades then living, a series of re-unions were inaugurated and societies were organized to carry these plans into execution.
Another object in view was the revival of the custom of paying respect to the memory of the dead by annual tributes of flowers. This custom had not been observed in Newark since the war, and it became painful to the old soldier in witnessing the continued indifference of citizens to the performance of that duty. With what success the soldiers' society attained these ends can be drawn from a perusal of the reports given of the grand re-union and the observance of Decoration day in the years following its organization.
In November, 1877, the society of the soldiers and sailors of Licking county was organized by the election of the following officers: Lieutenant Colonel Joseph C. Wehrle, president; Lieutenant Colonel Edwin Nichols, vice-president; Major Charles D. Miller, secretary; Major David Thomas, treasurer.
The following is the constitution adopted by the society:
1. This organization shall be known as "The Society of the Soldiers and Sailors of Licking county, Ohio."
2. All officers, soldiers and sailors in the United States service during any part of the war of the Rebellion, who were honorably discharged, or who are now in the service, may become members by signing these articles.
3. The officers of the society shall be a president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer, to be elected by ballot, annually, and to sere until their successors are elected.
4. The duties of these officers shall be such as usually pertain to such offices. The treasurer shall annually report upon the condition of the finances.
5. The team objects of this organization shall be to perpetuate ate the memories of the service and cherish its friendships, by annual meetings or celebrations, under the charge of the officers of the society, and such assistants as may be appointed for the purpose. These celebrations may, upon a vote of the society, be extended to embrace the officers, soldiers and sailors in a district of counties outside of and including the county of Licking. The objects of the organization may be furthered in any other appropriate manner the society may adopt
6. The society shall meet annually, at such time-as may be agreed upon by resolution, for the erection of officers an such older appropriate business as may be presented, and the bearing of reports. Special meetings may be called by therotary, upon the order of the president. At such special meetings ten or more shall make a quorum.
7. The treasurer shall pay out the moneys of the society, n on the written order of the president and secretary.
8. That the personal recollections of the officer, soldiers and sailors of this society may be communicated and further perpetuated, banquets may be appointed by a vote of the society, on which occasions the president and secretary may appoint different members to prepare and read manuscript accounts of their experiences during the war, or verbally, by speeches, to recount incidents. and anecdotes of the sends. personally known to them.
Colonel Kibler, chairman of the committee on organization, offered the following amendatory resolutions, which were adopted
Resolved, That the treasurer collect of the members. of this society an annual fee of one dollar, to repay the expenses; but the payment of such fee shall not constitute a condition precedent to membership.
Resolved, That the annual meetings of this society for the years succeeding 1877, be held to ten o'clock, A. M., on Thanksgiving day.
The following is a list of the names of the members of the society, their rank, command, time of service, post office address and military record: The records follow in the order of names as subscribed to the constitution of the society.

In the winter and spring of 1878, active preparations were made for holding a general State reunion in Newark under the auspices of the soldiers society.
At a meeting held by the officers of the society, January 23d, the president, after consultation with the other officers, appointed the following general committees for the purpose of arranging for a general soldiers' re-union the coming summer. Upon motion, it was resolved that- the Re-union be held at the "Old Fort," near Newark, on Monday, July 22d the anniversary of the death of General McPherson:
HISTORY OF LICKING COUNTY. - 359
GENERAL COMMITTEE OF FIVE.- 1. General Charles R Woods, on general arrangements.
2. Dr. W. B. Chambers, on finance.
3. Captain Jonathan Rees, on correspondence.
4. Lieutenant S. S. Wells, on banquet.
5. Lieutenant Colonel Charles H. Kibler, on reception.
The above to act as chairmen of sub-committees:
1. The committee of arrangements will make general arrangements, attend to decorations, arrange order of parade, and attend to such other appropriate duties as will further the success of the re-union.
2. The committee on finance will solicit subscriptions of money, and pay the same over to the treasurer, for the purpose of defraying the necessary expenses of the reunion.
3. The committee on correspondence will send invitations, advertise the re-union, and keep records of the proceedings.
4. The banquet committee will solicit contributions of eatables, and arrange the banquet
5. The reception committee will receive, entertain and direct visitors, and provide places for them during their sojourn in the city.
The county committees (at least one in each township), will rally members and visitors to attend the re-union, and will attend to such other necessary work as will further the success of the reunion.
In addition to the foregoing committees, the chairmen of the township committees were authorized to appoint a committee of ladies in their respective townships, to solicit cooked provisions, and to arrange and superintend a table set apart and marked fur each township.
General Woods, chairman of the committee of general arrangements, published an address in the county papers, calling upon the people to contribute from their abundance for the occasion, that all soldiers might be furnished a free dinner.
The secretary also prepared, and sent to the township committees, subscription books, for the purpose of collecting money for defraying the expenses of the reunion.
The officers of the society met with all the committees and took part in the proceedings.
To the correspondence committee was assigned the first important duties to be performed; and the chairman, with the assistance of the secretary, opened up an extensive correspondence with the heads of the various military bodies throughout the State, with a view of securing the largest attendance and of drawing to the re-union features that would prove interesting and attractive. General Charles R ..Woods rendered valuable service to the committee in addressing letters to distinguished military men, inviting them to be present. Very patriotic answers were received in reply from many.
This committee caused to be printed and mailed to over seven hundred soldiers a general printed invitation.
With this circular letter was also sent a map and description of the "old fort," the place chosen for holding the re-union.
Printed letters of invitation of like purport were sent to the commanders of all the Ohio national guard companies and batteries. Three thousand large posters, printed in colors, were prepared and one sent to each of the twenty-three hundred post offices throughout the State. Bundles of the same were also sent to the large towns and cities, to be posted in conspicuous places; and it can be said to the credit of the society that the programme promised was fully carried out.
The resident correspondents of the metropolitan and local press noticed the progress of the preparations for the re-union with favorable comments, which added extensively to its advertisement. The letter received from General Grant, by the secretary, was given to the ;press and widely published throughout the Union. In fact, all was done by the correspondence committee to widely circulate the call for a State re-union and to impress upon the minds of the veterans of Ohio the fact that they would be cordially welcomed and entertained.
The finance committee commenced its laborious duties early in June, and it was with the greatest difficulty that necessary funds could be raised considering the stringency of the times, but when the people began to realize the magnitude of the undertaking and the promised beneficial results that would accrue, it can be said to their credit
360 - HISTORY OF LICKING COUNTY.
that they responded with that liberality that insured success.
The committee of general arrangements, headed by that admiral campaigner, General Charles R Woods, owing to the undeveloped results of the work of the correspondence and finance committees, did not begin the performance of its duties until within two weeks of the eventful day, but with skill and earnest application its work progressed rapidly and ended successfully, as the sequel shows.
Fifteen hundred feet of tables were erected at the fort, whereon to spread the free dinner for the guests. A large stand for speakers was prepared, with seating capacity for over two hundred persons. The ground around the circular embankment was staked off and space allotted for two hundred and thirty-nine veteran organizations of Ohio infantry, cavalry and artillery regiments.
On each stake was attached a small American flag, and a register book wherein soldiers visiting the re-union could register their names, command and post office address.
The stakes were placed in regular order, commencing at the left hand of the great gateway of the fort, with the first infantry, and continued around the entire circle in order by numbers.
The committee of general arrangements super. intended the decorations of the fort and the city, which were on a very elaborate scale. It arranged the order of march and performed many other important duties which added greatly to the success of the reunion.
The reception committee, under the management of Colonel Kibler, performed valuable service in providing quarters for the military bodies and distinguished guests on that day. The most arduous duty performed by this committee was upon the morning of the twenty-second, in receiving the various commands arriving upon the trains,. which was rendered more laborious by the confusion necessarily caused in such a vast assemblage of people arriving mostly in an unorganized condition. .
The banquet committee was relieved in a great measure in participating in the preparation of the dinner at the fort, by the untiring and zealous attention of the ladies Too much cannot be said in praise of the noble part taken by the ladies of Newark on this occasion, and it is to be regretted that many sacrificed the pleasures of the day in their unselfish devotion to the duties assigned to them.
The ladies of the various township committees deserve the thanks of the society for the elaborate and generous preparation they made at their respective tables for the entertainment of the guests.
The banquet committee, proper, composed of gentlemen, confined its labors in preparation of the banquet held in the evening at the Lansing house.
The lateness of the hour and the exhaustion of the people caused the attendance at the banquet to fall short of expectations, but the speeches of distinguished soldiers, in response to toasts on that occasion, were very fine and inspiring.
Several special committees were appointed, which deserve mention. A committee, consisting of Captains Rees and Lyon, was sent to Washington to enlist the interest of the heads of the Government in the re-union and to secure the attendance of the President and other distinguished soldiers and statesmen.
General J. Warren Keifer was invited by the committee to act as orator of the day, and it afforded the society great pleasure when that gentleman accepted, as his oration proved to be the most appropriate performance for the occasion that could possibly have been delivered. The oration was rich in statistical information and portrayed the deeds, the valor and the sacrifices of Ohio soldiers in that war, with a vividness that will inspire the generations to come, as it did the veterans on that day who heard it from his lips.
Committees were also sent to Columbus to personally invite the governor and State officials, and to secure the old battle flags for the occasion.
A committee was appointed to arrange with the lines of railways centering at Newark, to camp visitors to and from the re-union at special low rates of fare, and to furnish adequate transportation for the multitude. It is to be regretted that the railroad officials did not fully realize the magnitude of the affair in time to provide cars for the comfortable transportation of the people, and many in remote parts of the State were deprived of the pleasure of participating in the re-union.
HISTORY OF LICKING COUNTY. - 361
In connection with the work of the committees it may be stated that the secretary opened negotiations with the quartermaster general of Wisconsin to secure the attendance of "Old Abe," the celebrated war eagle-of Wisconsin, which succeeded in procuring the presence of that famous bird.
In order to secure the battle flags of the various veteran organizations expected to be represented at the re-union, it became necessary to have passed by the legislature then in session, an act authorizing the adjutant general to loan the same for the occasion. The society was indebted to the Hon. James W. Ovens for the passage of a resolution which secured the desired end.
As before stated, the transportation arrangements of the railway lines were not adequate to carry the people desirous of attending the re-union, and in many parts of the State railroad corporations connecting with lines reaching Newark, declined to grant special rates, under the misapprehension that the number of people contemplating the journey would not justify a reduction of the fare. The sequel proved the lack of foresight is the management of the lines.
The Pan Handle route of the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati & St. Louis railroad and the Ohio divisions of the .Baltimore & Ohio railroad, being the two lines passing directly through Newark, gave excursion rates, which attracted large crowds over their respective roads and added greatly to their source of revenue. The Cleveland, Mt. Vernon & Columbus road, connecting with the Baltimore & Ohio at, Mt. Vernon, and the Marietta & Cleveland road, connecting at Cambridge and Uhrichsville, made liberal transportation arrangements, which resulted in full trains over their lines.
Notwithstanding the inadequate provisions made by other reads in remote parts of the State, so great was the anxiety of soldiers to be present on so interesting an occasion, that they came from all parts in large numbers. The re-union was one of ail organizations in Ohio, and the first general State reunion of the veterans since the war; hence it would have been proper for all roads within the borders of Ohio to have furnished. such liberal facilities for attendance as the importance of the occasion demanded.
The Pittsburgh, Cincinnati & St. Louis railroad brought in from the west one extra and one regular train, and from the east two extra trains, consisting in all of fifty coaches, averaging seventy-five people to the coach, making a total of about thirty-five hundred people.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad brought in from the east two trains of twenty-eight cars; from the west, one train of eleven cars; from the north, two trains of thirty-six cars; and from the south, two trains of thirty-two cars; making in all one hundred and six cars, carrying six thousand five hundred people.
This was on Monday morning, the day of the re-union. The Saturday and Sunday trains brought in about one thousand people, who came in advance, to secure hotel accommodations.
By far the greatest outpouring was from. the county. The farms and villages were nearly depopulated. It was a gala day for "old Licking" and the people, for once, closed up their houses and came an massy to Newark
The inducement was sufficient to justify the inhabitants for one day to lay aside their usual avocations and make a holiday. It was the first time in the history of the county that the President of the United States was to be a guest of her citizens. And the interest was three-fold enhanced by the presence at the same time of the general of the army and the governor of Ohio. But we must not overlook the still greater interest, which was in the meeting of old comrades, many of whom had not crossed palms since the days of the war. From early dawn until mid-day all roads leading into the city were thronged with wagons and carriages, not only bringing men, women and children, but laden with good things to satisfy the "inner man;" rations without stint for our soldier guests. The country people generally corralled their teams about the fair-grounds, as is their custom during fair times, and it was not many hours after daylight that the many acres outside and around the embankment were literally packed with every description of vehicle.
To estimate the number of people in a promiscuous-gathering like this is a problem, the solution of which leads to a great diversity of opinion. The reporters of the press are as liable to err as any others who take a casual view of the question.
362 - HISTORY OF LICKING COUNTY.
By reference to the reports herein given, the representatives of the different papers widely differ in their estimates of the number of people, present on that day, which is further proof of their incompetency in the matter. It is only by documentary arid other like evidence that a fair and reliable estimate can be arrived at. By careful observation of the seven main roads leading into Newark, fifteen thousand came from the country; one thousand arrived by rail before Monday. The Pittsburgh, Cincinnati & St. Louis railroad brought thirty-five hundred; the Baltimore & Ohio railroad brought sixty-five hundred, and at least five thousand citizens of the city participated, making a grand total of thirty-one thousand.
The following account of the re-onion by the Cincinnati Gazette. which for fairness and accuracy, seems to have merit over all others, is given in full, with the exception of the speeches:
Special dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
NEWARK OHIO. July 22, 1878.
"The gallant 'McPherson is remembered to-day." So runs a legend on a fine garrison flag that floats over the street on one of the principal squares of Newark. Remembered, indeed, today, is that beau ideal of the American officer, gallant, courteous, genial, commanding in appearance as he was, until even his black horsy was an object of the affections of the thou. sands of soldiers. Remembered is be as the officer, who fourteen years ago today, when his Army of the Tennessee was receiving the fiery force of the whole body of the impetuous Hood's army, rode into a woods swarming with rebel troops, sad, while pushing on to reach the position where he supposed his own troops were most hotly pressed, rode into the presence of a rebel line, and is a moment was shot down. His riderless horse escaped, and, though no friendly eye, except an orderly, saw General McPherson fall, the fact of his death was soon conveyed to General Sherman. Not, however, till the battle had hem won by his troops was the fact of his death spoken, except in whisper. Probably no officer in the whole army had such a hold upon his soldiers as did McPherson, and his tragical death makes the anniversary of that battle one of sad interest to all who fought on the field where McPherson fell.
It was in consequence of this feeling that today wan selected by the Soldiers 'and Sailors' association of licking county, of which General Charles R. Woods is a member, for a re-union of soldiers General Woods was a member of the Ajmv of the Tennessee, and at the battle of July 22nd was in the thickest of the fight, as he commanded the First division of the Fifteenth army corps. General Woods is now a retired army officer, living in quiet comfort in a beautiful home in the suburbs of Newark. He has seen much service, having been in the war from the time the Star in the West was fired upon until its close, and afterward held an important command is the South dating the progress of reconstruction. Veteran as he is, there is a leader place is his heart for the memory of McPherson, and it is mainly that which prompted the selection of this day for the neutral re-union.
The organization in charge of the day's festivities is not a political one. It is composed of men who were in the Union army, and they arc here, as elsewhere, not all of one mind In the matter of politics, although they are unanimous in rejoicing over the success of the cause that took them to the tented field. Among the active workers in charge of the arrangements arc to be found Democrats and Republicans together, and among the contributors to the fund to pay expense there has been no discrimination on account of political faith. This is a soldiers re-union.
Perhaps the, gladdest workers among the many who have lee a hand in the preparations arc the ladle-of Newark, and of these none can be gladder than the wises, mothers, sisters and sweethearts of the men who, fourteen years ago today, were in that battle before Atlanta. To these this work is a thanks offering for the preservation of those who came out of that danger alive, and an incense to the memory of the heroic dead. It would not be strange it teats have hallowed the decorations of to-day, The ladies have worked with a devotion equal to that which marked their patriotism doting the war. The countless little flags that seem to be flying through the air, but which arc fastened to long cords that extend in all directions from the lofty dome of the finest court hoax in the State, all represent women's work. Each little flag has been stitched to its place by a woman's hand. And then the preparation of the soldier's dinner. What heart there has been in that ! "Poor fellow," they say, "he shay have such a dinner to-day as he did not get fourteen years ago." Or, if there is a headstone over his grave marked "killed July 22, 1864, before Atlanta," still the feeling is " we will set before his comrades something in remembrance of our poor boy." And so the feast has been prepared in thankful joy and in tender remembrance.
While almost everything has been done by private contribution, the re-union has become so popular as to obtain assistance both from the county and the cite. The commissioners donated fifty dollars and the council gave two hundred dollars. There is a story that only one member of the council opposed this appropriation, and he was so earnest in his convictions that. he sought the aid of the lave to prevent the payment of the money. But his fellow councilmen were alert, and when he came to the city clerk with an injunction, that officer had paid out the money. Then he enjoined the banker where he understood the two hundred dollars had been deposited, but when he found the cash was not there, and that it was going about from pocket to pocket in such a mysterious manner that "no fellow could find out" where to lay an injunction, he gave up the effort
The decorations are profuse and tasteful. A fine effect. is produced by stretching from the high dome of the court hoax which stands in the middle of a large square, to housetops all around, cords upon which arc fastened little flags- abort font feet apart. All the great flags that can be gathered arc suspended over the streets. Evergreen wreathing appears on many houses. A triple arch spans the street leading west from the court hoax. This is adorned with evergreens and flags, and with a large sized portrait of the beloved McPherson, suspended under the central arch. "Welcome Comrades," is on the arch: while on the others are the name, McPherson, Caster, McCook, and Lytle.
The celebration began with a Federal salute at sunrise. The artillery rued was of a kind that woke the town as effectually
HISTORY OF LICKING COUNTY. - 363
as the long roll would have called up a regiment. Very soon after the streets began to assume a lively appearance. Long before six d clock farmers' wagons were coming in filled with the men and women folks, and not always leaving out the children. Small buys took the liberty to fire off diminutive pistols on the public square, and now and then to give cent to their feelings through a fire-cracker or a torpedo. The weather fully redeemed its promise of assistance, the morning breaking with a delicious coolness that made shawls and heavy coats desirable.
General Sherman spent the Sabbath at Lancaster, and this morning performed the next maneuver of flanking a well intentioned cavalry escort that intended to do him the honor of meeting him a mile or two out of town. He drove over in a carriage, the distance being twenty-eight miles. He was expected to arrive about eight o'clock, but he is an early riser, and a rapid mover, so he left Lancaster asleep and rattled over the country, arriving here more than an hour earlier than he was expected. The good intentions of the cavalry company, composed as it was of old cavalrymen who served under him, were entirely thwarted by this early movement, and they had their morning ride for nothing. However, no blame must attach to General Sherman for their disappointment, for he was not aware that any such honor was in store for him, and he would be the last man to wilfully thwart such kindly meant intention.
The desire has been expressed again and again during the day that the soldiers should be designated in some way, so that people might know who they were. This seems to have been overlooked by the managers, but since their arrival this morning a good many of the soldiers have modestly ticketed their hats with little cards bearing the letter of their company and the number of their regiment. The device affords a means of identification. that leads to many pleasant renewals of army acquaintance, for every soldier feels that he is acquainted with the boys who were in his brigade at least. The veteran regiment organized for the day was designated by badges on its members.
The proudest man in Newark today is Billy Lafflin, the veteran hackman, whose carriage was selected to carry the President from the depot to the hotel. He was a coachman before he came to this country, but in America he has advanced to the proprietorship of an equipage, and to-day his horses were in their neatest trim. and himself the perfection of good taste in dress. The ladies had decorated his hack with evergreens and flowers, surmounting it with an eagle with outspread wings. He drove around the public square an hour before time for the train to arrive, exhibiting his tasteful turnout to admiring crowds.
The first cheers of the day were those evoked by the presence of "Old Abe," the veteran war eagle. He made his appearance before the President arrived, borne on a shield by a veteran and escorted by a drum band and a little company of soldier following a tattered flag. The ring and the little company of men only suggested the strong regiments that are gone, while the. eagle alone seems to have renewed his strength. The bird who has such an eventful history, who. followed the Eighth Wisconsin regiment through the war, and who now devotes his time to attending soldiers' re-unions all over the country, is as fresh looking as be ever was. And when the soldiers cheered him, be lifted his wings as if remembering the old times. and giving, in his way. a return to their warm-hearted salute.
It was nearly ten clock before the second excursion train from Columbus, bearing the Presidential party and Governor's guards, and companies A, B and F, of Columbus, arrived at the Pan Handle depot. With the President were Attorney General Devens. Governor Bishop, General Keifer, Secretary of State Barnes. Adjutant General Meilly, General Wycoff, General Walcutt, Hon. S. F. Hunt, the governor's staff, etc. There were several thousand present, and it was some time before the car containing the Presidential party mold be brought to the proper place for leaving the car, and the distinguished visitors escorted to their carriages by the reception committee. Immediately on being seated in the carriage, the President was surrounded by hundreds of citizens who insisted on shaking hands, and that invariable American ceremony was indulged in for nearly ten minutes. Meantime the salute of twenty-one guns was fired by the Cleveland artillery. The order of march to the Lansing hoax was as follows: The Newark guards. Barracks band, Cadet band, Governor's Guard drum corps, Governor's guards, the carriage containing President Haves, Governor Bishop, Attorney General Devens, and a number of the reception committee, carriages containing the other members of the Presidential party, the mayor of the city, etc., and companies A, B and F, of Columbus.
Arriving at the Lansing house, the President was immediately escorted to his room, where be remained till the moving of the procession, the hall leading to his room being jammed continually by hundreds eager to catch if but a passing glimpse of the Chief Magistrate.
It was half-past eleven o !clock before the procession began to move. The streets around the public square had been kept free from intrusion by stretching copes at each entrance, to prevent vehicles from coming, but people on foot crowded in and gave infinite trouble to the nervous marshals on horseback. The President, General Sherman, and Governor Bishop, and other distinguished guests, had been seated in their carriages nearly half an hour before the procession began to move, notwithstanding they were to follow all the troops. The President was again subjected to another spell of hand-shaking, which would have been more general, if the police had not exerted themselves to keep his carriage free from the crowd.
As it was, there was but little harm done, as the weather was charmingly cool with a good breeze, and though the President was in a covered carriage, and armed with a huge serviceable palm leaf fan, it lay idle most of the time in his lap.
The music at last announced the moving of the procession, and it passed the Lansing hoax, where the President and Pam were in waiting, in the following order: Colonel Joseph C. Wehrle and staff: band of music: company of veteran cavalry: Granville comet band; more cavalry, followed by Sherman's Bummers, composed of a dozen or so men on horseback. dressed after the style of that unique corps, and equipped with oat sheaves, tin coffee pots, hams, chickens, and a miscellaneous lot of eatables; another cavalry company; Cambridge military band; Ohio national guards, two companies; drum band; Ohio national guards, one company; drum band;. artillery corps; General Charles R. Woods and staff; Columbus. Barracks band; "Old Abe," the Eighth Wisconsin war eagle; veteran corps, ten companies, interspersed with drum and military bands, and bearing battle stained regimental flags.
One of the most affecting features of the procession, was a hone ridden by a boy, and almost covered with flags. He wore a placard reading, " Old Charley. who led the Thirty-first Ohio three years." The veteran war hone was not so nimble as Ten Broeck, but event his stiff gait made him an object of affectionate interest in the eyes of all who know what such a history as
364 - HISTORY OF LICKING COUNTY.
"Old Charley's" implies. When the veterans had all passed, the Governor's guards wheeled into platoons and followed, and then the carriages containing the President and other distinguished guests moved after them, and the procession was all under way.
Long before the procession reached the fair grounds the people from the country had flocked in, and vehicles by the hundreds were hitched on every available acre in and around .the enclosure, their occupants by the thousands being scattered over even part of the grounds, and lining almost even foot of the dusty mile and a half between there and Newark. Their enthusiasm was boundless
"Old Abe," the Wisconsin war eagle, elicited cheer upon cheer, and divided the homage of the multitude with the President and General Sherman He was placed upon the speakers s stand, and near the front, where he surveyed the multitude with a royal air, as if conscious of his representing the dignity of a sister State.
With much difficulty the marshals cleared away the spectators sufficiently to permit of the displaying of the military, and the approach of the carriages containing the distinguished visitors, who had no sooner been seated on the platform than the ' crowd swept to it and clambered on it from all sides. Almost at once the west side fell, but harmlessly. The reporters were forced out of their seats. Ile northeast comer settled down and it was not until a detachment of the Governor's guards had cleared the platform of unauthorized spectators that sufficient quiet was obtained, and the exercises proceeded in the proper order.
The exercises began by prayer by Chaplain B. C. Bates (formerly of Cincinnati). Then followed General Warner's s address of welcome.
It was trove after three o'clock, and an interesting pan of the day was not yet touched-the dinner for the veterans, the national guards and the distinguished guests. The prettiest thing of the day was the grand dining rooms in the woods, which extended over several acres of ground, and was filled with hundreds of feet in length of tables, which were perfect pictures of peace and plenty. Thousands of tired men, representing nearly every regiment organized in Ohio, gathered about them, each one served with n pasteboard plate, a new tin cap, a spoon, and a buttonhole bouquet. Not the least sign of disorder was anywhere visible. There was plenty to eat and plenty of room, every one helping himself. The bill of fare included cold meats of every description. golden rolls, baked beans, pies, pickles, hot coffee and cakes fit to grace the table of the President ; and there he stood, under the shade of a grand old beach, enjoying the hospitality of the women as mach as any other soldier.
The old battle flags of the Ohio regiments were taken from the flag room in the State hoax and carefully arranged in floral hall, in the fair grounds. where they received the almost unbounded homage of thousands. But the precedent thus made should not be allowed to prevail. These tattered and faded mementos of Ohio's glory are quite too precious to be carried around to the many re-unions we shall have in the State, highly gratifying though their presence is to every soldier or citizen.
The crowd present was immense, and estimates vary from fifteen thousand to thing thousand. Perhaps twenty thousand is a sufficiently high estimate for those actually on the ground. though there were thousands who remained in the city, and were satisfied to look on the decorations, the glimpses of visiting greatness they could occasionally catch, and patiently wait for the return from the fair-grounds, and the fireworks at night.
One good feature was the placing of stakes about twenty feet apart on the inside of the top of the embankment of the old fort. To each stake was a small flag and a book attached, one for every regiment and battery from Ohio in the war, and in which the soldiers of each were requested to register. A large number availed themselves of the opportunity, and a tolerable complete register is thus expected to be made.
The citizens of Newark have been most hospitable in their entertainment of their hosts of guests. They not only engineered very successfully a gigantic gathering, but have as well succeeded in making all who were here feel at home. The President and General Devens took tea this evening at the residence of Judge Jerome Buckingham.
Miss Ella Sherman drove the carriage containing her father and General John M. Connell, from Lancaster here this morning, in three and a half hours.
Supper over, the woods of the grounds became versatile with the music of the many bands. Hundreds of veterans walked about the circle, registered their names in the little books, and scanned them for the names of comrades. Then came the return to the city, where the sound of drum and cornet bands, the shouts of people, and the roll of vehicles, told how glad had been the day.
President Hayes' reception, at the Lansing hoax, was most heartily enthusiastic.
Webb Haves introduced the caller to the President, who gave to each one, at least, a word and a hand-shake. General Sherman was present in uniform, and added splendor to the occasion. Governor Bishop also attended the reception, and was greeted warmly by many admirers. The rooms mere kept reasonably dear, though there was a great jam m the hall. Webb Haves, with good judgment, promptly took the President to his room at nine o'clock. General Sherman, however, remained, and chatted familiarly with old army acquaintances. The display of fireworks at night teas the only thing on the programme that began ahead of time. It was to' begin at nine o'clock and last an hour, but the rockets began to fly at half past eight, and from that time till after ten there wets an almost uninterrupted blaze of fireworks. It vests enjoyed by a great crowd of people in the park and in the streets, and during its progress there was a continual concert of drum and other bands in different parts of the city.
There was almost perfect order, very little drunkenness being seen. The day and night were as perfect as could be wished, and Newark may be grateful for this important adjunct to their successful enterprise. One hundred and seventy-nine Ohio regiments and batteries were represented at this re-union.
One hundred and twenty-one of the old battle flags were displayed. Among the many distinguished. persons present may be mentioned President R. B. Hayes, General James A. Garfield, President elect in 1880, General W. T. Sherman, Governor R. M. Bishop, Attorney General Charles Devens, General J. Warren Keifer, Ex-Governor Fletcher of Missouri, General Wager Swayne, General Durbin

Ward, General M. D. Leggett, General John Beatty, General Charles C. Walcutt, General Charles H. Grosvenor and General Willard Warner. The expenses of the re-union, owing to the skilful . management of the finance committee, only reached the sum of one thousand and seventy-five dollars and eighty-three cents, which left of the fund contributed for the occasion an unexpended balance of one hundred and forty-three dollars and seventy-three cents. This sum remains in the treasury of the society as a nucleus fund for the erection of a soldiers' monument.
The city of Newark reaped a great benefit from-the re-union in all branches of its trade. It is estimated that the sum of fifty thousand dollars, at least, was left in the city by strangers on that day.
The secretary, Major C. D. Miller, prepared, and had printed, in book form, illustrated with steel engravings and electrotypes, a very complete report of the re-union, which embraced a full account of the exercises, with speeches and letters of the most distinguished men of the nation; a historical sketch of the regiments and batteries represented, with a list of the names of soldiers registered; a history of "Old Abe," the war eagle, and a record of Licking county soldiers who died in the service.
The society reserves a number of copies of this work for distribution among soldiers' families at the net cost of publication.

When the long years have crept slowly away,
E'en to the dawn of earth's funeral day;
When, at the Archangel's trumpet and tread,
Rise up the faces and forms of the dead;
When the great world its last judgment awaits;
When the blue sky shall swing open its gates,
And our long columns march silently through,
Past the great Captain, for final review;
Then for the blood that has flown for the right,
Crowns shall be given, untarnished and bright;
Then the glad ear of each war-martyred son,
Proudly shall hear the good judgment, "Well done."

Joseph Meister was a member of the Society of the Soldiers and Sailors of Licking county, and his was the first death occurring in the society.
"Rest on, embalmed and sainted dead,
Dear as the blood ye gave;
No traitor's footsteps e'er shall tread
The herbage o'er your grave.
Nor shall your glory be forgot,
While Fame her record keeps,
For Honor mourns the hallowed spot
Where loyal valor sleeps."
The following is a list of the names of soldiers buried in the Newark cemeteries, in addition to those given above. The list may yet be imperfect, and the secretary of the society would thank the friends of those who have been omitted to furnish their names, that they may .be preserved in the records of the society, and that they may be honored by the annual tribute of flowers on Decoration day.
The list .embraces soldiers of the Revolution, the war of 1812, the Mexican war .and the War of the great Rebellion, and of all soldiers who have died recently or since the Rebellion:

Many Licking county soldiers are buried in other parts of the county, but far the greatest number rest in the fields far south, where their blood bathed the land they fought for. Many lie in unmarked' graves near the prison pens of Andersonville, and upon the sites of sanguinary battle fields where they fell. The tears Of their fellow-patriots cannot wash out the memories of
their deeds-and, although their ashes repose far away from the land of their birth, yet when the last trumpet sounds the great awakening, all alike will arise to glory.
Cover them over with beautiful flowers,
Deck them with garlands, those brothers of ours;
Lying so silent, by night and by day,
Sleeping the years of their manhood away;
Years they had marked for the joys of the brave;
Years they must wane in the sloth of the grave.
All the bright laurels they fought to make bloom,
Fell to the earth when they went to the tomb.
Give them the meed they have won in the past;
Give them the honors their merits forecast;
Give them the chaplets they won in the strife;
Give them the laurels they lost with their life.
Cover them over-yes, cover them over
Parent, and husband, and brother, and lover;
Crown in your heart these dead heroes of ours,
And cover them over with beautiful flowers.
The following muster and pay rolls of the Soldiers of the War of 1812 were furnished by the department at Washington, and came too late for insertion in their proper place, in "Chapter XXXVII," and are, therefore, attached to the end of the war history of the county. A glance at the
