MADISON COUNTY, OHIO - 425 Later in the same day the Twenty-sixth and the Fifteenth Indiana, under the command of Colonel Young, captured a six-gun battery the enemy were trying to drag off in their retreat, and flanked and dislodged a strong body of Confederates, who, with two heavy cannon, were attempting to hold in check the Federal troops until their, train could be withdrawn. The regiment suffered at this time the loss of about one-fourth of its strength in killed and wounded. AN UNDAUNTED BAND. Even before its dead were buried, the Twenty-sixth, now reduced by. two and one-half years of .arduous service from one thousand to less than two hundred men, was on its way with the Fourth Corps to. raise the siege of Knoxville.. They marched barefoot over frozen ground, and bivouacked without shelter, in midwinter, clad in summer clothing, with but half rations, on the dreary and desolate hillsides of east Tennessee. Yet with elbows out, pants worn half way to the knees, socks and shirts gone to threads, hungry and shivering in the cold of January 1, 1864, the Twenty-sixth, almost to a man, re-enlisted for three more years of service. The regiment was the first regiment of the Fourth Corps to re-enlist, and the first to arrive home on veteran furlough. Returning to the field at the expiration of its furlough, the regiment rejoined the Fourth Corps at Bridgeport, Tennessee. It took part in Shernian's movement against Atlanta, being present at Resaca, Kenesaw Mountain, Peach Tree Creek, Jonesboro and other minor engagements. The Confederate General Hood, thinking to circumvent and defeat the plans of Sherman, made his dash at the rear of Atlanta and marched on Nash' ville, and the Twenty-sixth, after a three-weeks rest, was again called into arduous service and took part in the race that ensued. The battle of Franklin was fought; the enemy checked in his swift march, and the Union forces Won the race to Nashville. At this point the two armies again met in battle, resulting in a victory for the Federal troops, the enemy being completely demoralized and put to flight. After pursuing the enemy across the Tennessee river the Union forces fell back to Huntsville and Nashville. The Texas campaign was now resolved upon, and the Twenty-sixth formed part of that force, participating in the trip down the Ohio and Mississippi to New Orleans; thence in the severe march' across the country from Port Lavaca to San Antonio. On October 21, 1865, the regiment was mustered out of the service at Victoria. Immediately thereafter it was sent home to Camp Chase, paid off, and discharged.

The organization of the Fortieth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, was completed on December 7, 1861, at Camp Chase, Ohio, and on the 11th of the same month the regiment started for eastern Kentucky, going by rail to Paris, Kentucky, and marching thence to Paintville, where it formed a junction with Colonel Garfield, who at that time was moving up the Sandy river. The regiment took part in the defeat of Humphrey Marshall on January 10, 1862, at the battle of Middle Creek, and afterwards remained in camp at Paintville; suffering much from sickness. The following February, it Moved to Piketon, where it remained as an outpost, with a Kentucky regiment, until June .13, when they moved on to Prestonburg, which place was abandoned a Month later, the Fortieth going to Louisa, where it remained until September 13, on which date it left Louisa and moved to the mouth of the Sandy, and a few days afterward was ordered to Gallipolis, Ohio. On October 4 it moved to Guyandotte, West Virginia, and; on November 14, was again ordered into eastern Kentucky. On February 20, 1863, 'the regiment Started Air Nashville, Tennessee, and on its arrival there was assigned to the First Brigade, First Division, Reserve Corps, then at Franklin, which latter point regiment reached in March, in time to take part in a forced march after Van Dorn. Van Dorn attacked the line with a large mounted force on April 10, the Fortieth then being on picket duty south of Franklin, and was repulsed by that regiment alone. On June 2, the Fortieth Moved to' Triune and on the 23rd of the same month the reserve corps was moved forward, forming the right wing of Rosecrans' army in its advance on Shelbyville, Wartrace and Tullahoma. The regiment was stationed at Wartrace and Tullahoina until September 7, 1863; after which the reserve corps pushed rapidly forward to assist in the movement on Chattanooga. The regiment participated in the battle of Chickamauga, losing quite heavily ; and, after falling back to Chattanooga, encamped at Moccasin Point, opposite Lookout Mountain; and finally went into winter quarters at Shellmound Tennessee, where four Companies re-enlisted. The regiment shared in the battle of Lookout Mountain, November 24; and behaved With great gallantry. It was in the second line of battle, and upon reaching the rebel breastworks, was ordered to halt by General Whittaker, who was in command; but not hearing the order in the' din of battle, pressed on, capturing several pieces of artillery at the "White House," several hundred yards in advance of the other troops. The right of the regiment advanced near the Summertown road, but receiving no support, was obliged to fall back. The Fortieth felt much chagrined at the result, and claimed that if properly supported, it would have captured the rebel guns and stores on the top of the mountain. At the close of the campaign, the regiment returned to Shellmound and was moved on January 20, 1864, going into camp near Cleveland, Tennessee, on February 6. Praia February 22 to the 28th of the same month it was engaged in A reconnaissance on Dalton. On May 2, the Fortieth marched on the Atlanta campaign, participating in many of the battles before that place, and being under fire almost constantly after' reaching Dalton.

NINETY-FIFTH OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY. The Ninety-fifth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, was mustered into the service of the United States at Camp Chase, Ohio, on August 19, 1862. The day following, the regiment proceeded, under marching orders, to Lexington, Kentucky. On its arrival there, rumors of a Confederate attack by way of the Cumberland Gap caused the transfer of about ten thousand troops at Richmond, Kentucky, previous to August 30. By forced marches they arrived at Richmond, drove off the attaching army after it had .sent in a flag. of truce asking for the surrender of the town. The regiment had a skirmish with Kirby Smith's advance, August 29, capturing one gun. They remained all night on the field, confident of their ability to defend the approaches to Richmond, and, in their ignorance, underestimating the Confederate strength, the almost impassable barrier afforded by the approaches to the Kentucky having been left fifteen miles in the rear, while they advanced to encounter an army of veterans of twice their numerical strength. Kirby, Smith was then on his march to the Ohio river, making his famous northern raid. Across his line and barring it lay an army of ten thousand raw recruits, with only nine pieCes of artillery: Veterans would have fallen back to the river, where reinforcements might arrive in time to aid. Blind to their danger and bold to rashness, the Northern troops not only stood their ground, but advanced to meet certain defeat and almost annihilation. One hundred and twenty men of the Ninety-fifth, and a majority of the line officers, commanded by the lieutenant-colonel, deeming themselves the only representatives of the state on the field, scorned to fly, and fought desperately until surrounded and forced to surrender. The scattered and demoralized forces made another stand, a mile or so in the rear, but were scattered like so much chaff, and still further on a third stand, which resulted, after a stubborn, though brief resistance, in a tumultuous retreat for the river.. The loss to the Ninety-fifth was eight men killed, forty-seven wounded and six hundred captured. The loss of the other regiments engaged Was about two hundred and fifty killed, eight hundred wounded and nearly two thousand captured. The Confederate loss in killed and wounded was heavier than the federal loss. The regiment was exchanged on November 1862, and was reorganized and sent to Memphis, where it arrived, May 25, 1863, six hundred strong. It was attached to a division and sent to Vicksburg, where it did. effective, work until a few days previous to the capture of that city. It also aided in the capture of the city of Jackson, Mississippi; and in the operations around the Big Black river. The regiment participated in Sherman's attempt to storm the works of Vicksburg, on May 22. where, besides being repulsed, many brave' men were sacrificed. After the fall of Vicksburg, MADISON COUNTY, OHIO - 433 another attack was made on Jackson; the rebels being whipped, after which the Northern troops went into winter quarters near Memphis. During the winter, the Ninety-fifth was assigned to the Sixteenth Corps, with which it served until the end of the war. REGIMENT SUFFERS HEAVY LOSS. Early in June, 1864, an attempt was made to strike the Mobile & Ohio railroad in the vicinity of Tupelo. This ended in defeat. The Ninety-fifth went into the affair with nineteen commissioned officers and three hundred muskets, and got back to Memphis with nine officers and about one hundred and fifty men. In July, the regiment marched with General Smith's expedition to Memphis, and, after skirmishing along the way formed near Tupelo. The Confederates made a furious attack and were handsomely whipped. On returning to Memphis, Forrest made a night attack and got another good drubbing. Smith's forces were moved to Nashville, arriving the night after the battle of Franklin. On . the morning of December 15, General Smith's force, now an army corps, stationed on Thomas's right pushed boldly out from their works, and were soon on Hood's left flank. Here an assaulting column, including the Ninety-fifth was formed. In a. few minutes, the first Southern .work, mounting 'three guns, was captured. From a hill farther on, crowned with a redoubt, the rebels poured a galling fire on the victors. Without halting, on went the Northern forces, over the entrenchments and into the works, capturing more guns and holding the position. The next day Hood's second line was attacked. The Ninty-fifth and -other regiments piled knapsacks, and, with orders neither to fire a shot nor yell, started for the works and carried them by storm, capturing battle flags, guns and prisoners. The cloud that for more than two years had rested above the regiment departed and victory had crowned their efforts. After these successes the regiment played its part in the pursuit of Hood, and joined General Canby's forces, at New Orleans, in the reduction of Mobile, at which latter place it arrived in March, 1865, from which time until the end of the war, the regiment did guard duty. At the 'close of the war, it was ordered to Camp Chase, and was mustered out on August 19, 1865. The rolls show that of one thousand officers and men, composing the regiment, flve hundred and twenty-eight officers and men were killed in battle, or died of wounds or disease in service. Company.

The organization of the One Hundred and Thirteenth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, was commenced in August, 1862, at Camp Chase, Ohio, where seven companies were recruited. It then proceeded to the camp at Zanesville, Ohio, and then to Camp Dennison, a company being added at each place. On December 27; danger being expected at Louisville from Morgan's raid, it was suddenly ordered to that place. The order came rather unexpectedly and the organization was still incomplete, but within two hours of its receipt the One Hundred and Thirteenth was on its way, finely equipped. In January, 1863, it moved to Mauldraugh's Hill, about thirty miles distance from Louisville, on the Louisville & Nashville railroad, but returned again, the next month and embarked for Nashville. The trip to Nashville occupied an unusually long time and was accompanied by great hardships, many of the officers and men being sent to the hospital on the arrival of the regiment at its destination. The regiment was assigned to General C. C. Gilbert's division and was moved to Franklin, Tennessee, where it participated in several expeditions against the enemy and was kept busy on an extensive line of fortifications. The command formed the right wing of the Army of the Cumberland, and, joining, other divisions at Triune, entered upon the Tullahoma campaign, but was not in an engagement. It remained at Shelbyville during the partial reorganization of the army and took part in the Chattanooga campaign, as part of the reserve corps. After a long and tiresome march over the mountains, the One Hundred and Thirteenth took part in the battle of Chickamauga, its losses in this sanguinary engagement being one hundred and thirty-eight officers and men, out of three hundred and eighty-two. It fell back with the army to Chattanooga and endured all the hardships of that siege. The division, the second of the Fourteenth Army Corps, was detached from its corps at the battle of Mission Ridge, and formed a part of General Sherman's force. It formed the reserve line and did not take an active part in the struggle, but in the pursuit of the einemy, following, it fought with some loss at Stuarts creek. The regiment was then sent to the relief of Knoxville and after Longstreet was forced to retire they returned—weary, ragged and footsore—to Chattanooga on December 21, 1863. The winter was spent in that neighborhood, with the monotony broken by only an occasional reconnaissance, and at last the regiment moved on the Atlanta campaign, May 7, 1864. MADISON COUNTY, OHIO - 437 The One Hundred and Thirteenth was at Buzzard's Gap and Resaca, and then moved down the valley of the Coosa upon Rome; thence to Dallas and New Hope church, and on to Kenesaw Mountain. In the battle of Kenesaw Mountain the regiment formed the line of assault and consequently lost heavily, its casualities being ten officers and one hundred and fifty-three men. In the engagements about. Atlanta the regiment was not actively engaged, except in the encounter at Peach Tree Creek, though it was always present and exposed to the efforts of sharpshooters. After the fall of Atlanta the regiment was sent to Chattanooga, thence to Huntsville and Tuscumbia, Alabama, and then back to Chattanooga. It again marched south, with greatly reduced ranks, and joined Sherman on his march to the sea. With small exceptions its march to the sea was unbroken until the defenses of Savannah were reached. After the evacuation of that city the regiment encamped at Sister's Ferry, on the Savannah river, and there remained for several days in mud and water. The regiment shared in all the labors of the march through the Carolinas, and was severely engaged at Bentonville, fighting hand-to-hand, during the heaviest of the battle leaping the breastworks to repel assaults from either direction. This was the last engagement of the One Hundred and Thirteenth. After the surrender of Johnston it moved via Richmond, Virginia, to Washington City and there participated in the Grand Review, after which it proceeded to Louisville, Kentucky, where it was mustered out on July 6, 1865, and was soon after discharged at Columbus, Ohio. Company A-Company A of the One Hundred and Thirteenth regiment was organized in London, Madison county, in the autumn of 1862, and was mustered into the regiment at Camp Chase on October 10.

During the memorable raid of the Confederate general, John Morgan, through Ohio in the summer of 1863, which eventually ended in his capture in Columbiana MADISON COUNTY, OHIO - 441 county, the citizens of. Madison county turned out en masse to repel the invasion. The business houses were closed, hay was left uncured in the fields, ripe wheat uncut, and all went to Camp Chase in the quickest time possible. There was a general outpouring of the militia, which was organized into a regiment, with Col. P. W. Taylor in command, A. E. Wilson as adjutant and. Jacob Peetrey, as quartermaster. Though this proved a bloodless campaign, yet those who went out in defense of their homes are entitled to credit for their ready response to the call. After their return to the county the militia was organized into two regiments, and the following officers were elected : First Regiment—P. W. Taylor, colonel; Jesse M. Linson, lieutenant-colonel, and John Holton, major. Second Regiment—W. R. rickey, colonel; G. W. Darety, lieutenant-colonel, and John W. Morris, major. This permanent organization was effected in August, 1863, and placed the county on a defensive footing. ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FOURTH REGIMENT, OHIO NATIONAL GUARD: The One Hundred and Fifty-fourth Regiment, Ohio National Guard, was formed by the consolidation of the Twenty-third Battalion, Ohio National Guard, with the Sixtieth Regiment, Ohio National Guard, and was organized at Camp Dennison, being mustered into the service, with an aggregate of eight hundred and forty-two men, on May 9, 1864. The colonel, assistant surgeon, quartermaster, and several of the line officers, non-commissioned officers, and many of the privates had seen service in other organizations. It was organized for the one-hundred-days service. On May 12 the regiment proceeded to New Creek, West Virginia, in the neighborhood of which most of its time was spent. It returned to Camp Dennison on August 27, where it was mustered out of the service, September 1, 1864. Three companies from Madison county, under the command of Capts. William A. Neil, David Watson and Alexander Swanston, reported at Camp Dennison on May 4, 1864, and mustered into the regiment at the time of its organization on May 9. Captain Neil was elected a major in the regiment. These companies were consolidated into two—C and I—by which they are designated on the muster rolls. THE RETURN OF PEACE. The people of Madison county received the news of the surrender of Gen. Robert E. Lee, at Appomattox, with great joy—all the bells in London, as well as the other towns of the county, were brought into requisition, fiags were displayed, and the streets were thronged with people. About nine o'clock in the morning of April 10, 1865, the day the news was received, the business men closed their establishments for the city. The evening of April 12 was set aside by the citizens as a season of rejoicing over the Union victory. Shortly after dark, nearly all of the houses on Main street in London were brilliantly lighted, and a six-pound cannon poured out its thunder tones from a vacant lot on Main street. Then followed a long procession of torchlights, parading the principal streets, after which a grand display of fireworks from the public square, which lasted for more than an hour. The town was full of people from the adjacent country. Friday, April 14, the day set apart by Governor Brough as a day of thanksgiving and rejoicing in honor of the victory, was appropriately observed in London. Business houses were closed, and divine services were held in the Methodist Episcopal church in the morning, the services consisting of the singing of patriotic songs, and addresses by Rev. Levi. Cunningham and Rev. C. W. Finley. The happiness and rejoicing, however, were short-lived, for that same evening came the news of the assassination of President Lincoln at Ford's theatre in Washington city. April 19, 1865, was 442 - MADISON COUNTY, OHIO. observed by the citizens of Madison county as a day of mourning. The business houses were closed, flags displayed at half-mast, dwellings and other houses were draped in the insignia of grief, while appropriate services were held in the churches. So ended the greatest civil war in history, a war among a free people, waged in order that a government based on the self-evident truths that all men are created free and equal, and endowed with the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, might live. SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. The militaristic spirit of Madison county lay dormant until it was again arousal by the declaration of war against Spain by resolution passed in Congress on Monday, April 25, 1898. Madison county men at once began to seek ways in which they could be of service to their country. The Madison County Democrat of Wednesday, April 27, gives the news that William Biggert had already enlisted at Columbus; Earl Prugli had enlisted at Delaware, Ohio ; Fred Smith took a medical. examination a few clays before at Pendleton, a suburb of Cincinnati ; Dean Davis had enlisted about a week before in the Red Cross department. at Columbus; Charles Burris had eniisted, and already Col. H. H. Prettyman and Capt. John M. Boyer were at work organizing a company in London. The Democrat of May 18, among its news items, says that Ira Bentzel had enlisted in the hospital corps ; Bert Clark had enlisted as a musician and Charles Slagle had enlisted in a Kansas company. On Monday, May 16, the First Ohio Artillery left Camp Bushnell, at Columbus, and passed through London en route south. Frank Stewart, a grandson of Dr. Toland Jones, was captain of Battery H. The following colored boys from London had enlisted : Sam Robison, Will Norris, Nels Winslow, Charles Winslow, James Norris, Charles. Cain, Clarence Wickers, Howard Fisher, Joe Henderson and Arnold Hunt. Lieutenant Eugene T. Wilson, a native of Madison county, in the regular army, was reported to be located at Ft. Mason at San Francisco, superintending the laying of submarine mines in the waters of California bay.. Shawder Clawson had enlisted. A company was being raised by John F. Locke and .Peyton R. Emery, who had the names of seventy-two men, and an organization was to be made soon. The week previous, it is reported, no fewer than twelve or fifteen thousand volunteer troops had passed through London on the railroads on their way south. They were all. Ohio and Pennsylvania regiments. The same paper in its issue of the following week says that ninety-five men had made application' for membership in a company of volunteers and Drs.. McClelland Vance, John Foster and Goff had been ordered to make the required physical examinations. These examinations had cut the roll short to seventy-two names. It says that the company was "made up of an even set of men, with few exceptions, the length running from six feet one inch to five feet and four inches, ages eighteen to thirty-eight and all residing in London' except eight from Lafayette; three, Rupert, one each from Orchard, Sedalia and Big Plain; to each from Summerford, Plumwood and Walnut Run." There were only eight married men in the company. Their occupations were: "Farmers, twenty. eight ; laborers, sixteen ; clerks, six; lawyers, teachers, tailors, three each ; carpenters, students, two each ; druggist, gardener, insurance agent, engineer, electrician, lineman, telegraph operator and plumber, one each." Assistant Adjutant-General H. B. Kingsley was to muster the company in as an addition to the Ohio National Guard and the government examination would throw the volunteers into the United States service as Company E, Third Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry. The mustering-in took place on the evening of May 30, 1898. The Democrat in its issue' of the following day describes the proceedings in .the following manner : "Last evening was fixed on as the time for mustering into the state service the MADISON COUNTY, OHIO - 443 London company and Col. H. B. Kingsley, assistant adjutant-general, was assigned to do the work, arriving here in the afternoon as the guest of Col. H. H. Prettyman. "Captain Locke's boys met at the assembly room of the court house and marched to the public square, where some military maneuvers were gone through with under the orders of Sergeant Harry Armstrong, acting as drill master. A large crowd filled our streets, expecting to witness the attending muster ceremony, but all were disappointed, as the company moved to the old Masonic Hall, in the Toland block, where no one was admitted except the. examining physicians, Drs. Vance, Foster and Goff, and the newspaper reporters. After the members had arrived and had been lined up on the two sides of the hall, the arrival of Colonels Prettyman and Kingsley, in fitting uniforms, was received with a hearty outburst -of enthusiasm. "Orderly Sergeant Rea Chenoweth called over the muster roll and all the members answered to their names except six. It is not believed that any of the absentees played 'rabbit,' but the boys were detained by tardiness, non-consent of parents for minors, etc. The ranks were soon filled with' members who had undergone the medical examination and had failed to sign the second roll, four more of whom were present than were needed. The manner of administering the oath simply required the uncovering of the head and the raising Of the right hand, the oath requiring a true and faithful allegiance to the United States and the state of Ohio, to serve faithfully against all enemies, under the orders of the governor and officers appointed over the members, as by the rules, etc., governing the National Guard. The election of officers followed, each unanimously being chosen as follow : John F. Locke, captain; Peyton R. Emery, first lieutenant; E. Arnett Smith, second lieutenant. According to the official muster in roll the service was to date from June 30, 1898, for a perio of two years unless sooner discharged. In, a short talk after the ceremony, Colonel Kingsley expressed his congratulations to the company and the hope that they would soon see some actual service in the field. He was answered by short talks from Captain Locke and Lieutenants Emery and Smith. The evening was ended by a talk from Co. H. H. Prettyman." MARCHING ORDERS. On June 18, 1898, Captain Locke received the following. telegram from the office of the adjutant-general: "Capt. John F. Locke, Company E, Third Infantry. "You will assemble your company Thursday, June 1-,)3, 1898, and proceed at earliest possible hour on said date to Columbus, Ohio, and report to the commanding officer, Camp Bushnell. Transportation will 'be provided by the P. C. C. & St. L. R. R. The transportation enjoined is necessary for the service and numbered limited to one hundred and nine—officers and men. "Acknowledge orders, by the command of the governor. "H. B. KINGSLEY, Assistant Adjutant-general." Steps immediately were taken preparatory to the company's departure from London. On the evening of Wednesday, -June 22, the ladies of the Woman's Relief Corps presented, at the court house, a beautiful flag to Company E. The presentation speech was made by Mrs. Theodore Davidson; who briefly said: "Captain Locke and Comrades: Having the honor conferred upon me to perform the duty, I take great pleasure in presenting this emblem of our country in behalf of Lyon Relief. Corps No. 52, who are proud of our boys showing such patriotism in this, the war of 1898. In looking over this company we see sons and grandsons of our brave boys of' 1861. We wish you now, as we did them, success and a safe return to those whom you have left at home. May you ever respect this flag as did those who 444 - MADISON COUNTY, OHIO. so nobly fought to defend it. Once again, in behalf of the patriotic women of this organization, I bid you Godspeed and give you this banner—this 'star-spangled banner :' " 'Long may it wave, O'er the land of the free And the home of the brave.' Captain Locke responded for the company, his remarks teeming with patriotism and gratitude to the ladies for their esteem, closing with an expression of his regret that the army regulations prohibited the boys from taking the flag with them. He placed it in the custody of the Woman's Relief Corps, which he said, would take good care of it until the company's return, when it would be a pleasure and an honor to march under its folds. COMPANY RECEIVES AN OVATION. As it was ordered, Company E left London for Camp Bushnell, at Columbus, on Thursday, June 23. The Democrat, in its issue of the Wednesday following, gives the following account of its departure: "The weather was all that could be desired and at eight o'clock a. m. according to orders, every man 'of the one hundred and nine had lined up in front of the court house, under the command of Capt. John F. Locke and Lieuts. Peyton Emery and E.. Arnett Smith. Not only every man answered at roll call, but many others were pres ent in the hope of being able to join the boys. One young man walked all the wary. from Sedalia, eleven miles, with the expectation of joining the company, and called upon Captain Locke before he had breakfast. The captain promised to find a place, for him in to near future, if possible. "At eight o'clock the London cornet band headed the marching files of Lyon Post, Grand Army of the Republic, and other old soldiers, the membership of London Lodge No. 539 Knights of Pythias, and many citizens and stopped at the court house, where a uniformed squad of marines—eighteen. little tots, varying in age from five to nine years, with Master John Farrar as captain and John N. Boyer, Esq., as drill master, joined the line of march. Each little fellow wore a Dewey sailor suit and cap and was proud of the honor given them. Capt. Robert Ewalt's cadets also joined the ranks when the procession started for the' depot, the volunteers being given the position of honor. The streets and sidewalks were literally alive with a multitude of shouting, flag-waving humanity. The fire .bell had sounded the alarm and every church bell and factory whistle in town added to the din: The firing of anvils was also kept up and pounds of gunpowder went up in smoke. Such an ovation was never before seen here. As Company E approached the Pan-Handle depot grounds, the boys beheld a beautiful display of large flags, bunting and decorations that ornamented the trees, the telegraph poles and building. The Pan-Handle depot was a beautiful sight, while the rear of the Big Four depot was almost. hidden with small flags. Everywhere could be seen 'the red, white. and blue, for every business house on Main street had been decorated and was closed for the occasion. When Captain Locke and his lieutenants reached the Pan-Handle depot they were assisted in mounting a large truck by Col. H. H. Prettyman. Here a perfect mass of surging, enthusiastic people. estimated at no less, than three thousand in number, greeted them, actually covering all space about the handsome building. The presentation of the swords had become whispered aroun and everybody was anxious to hear the speeches. "Col. H. H. Prettyman then secured order and in a fitting address presented the- commissioned officers of the company with handsome swords. Captain Locke spoke fife. appreciation of himself and his men. He was followed by a few stirring remarks by MADISON COUNTY, OHIO - 445 ex-Senator S. W. Durflinger. The demonstration closed with the splended rendition of an army song by a local quartet, Messrs. Chenoweth, Placier, Cheseldine and Dodds. In a few moments the train pulled out, the boys crowding to the windows to wave a parting adieu to their loved ones." In its issue of Wednesday, June 29, 1898, the Madison County Democrat stated that through the efforts of Dr. McClellan Vance, Horace C. Plimell, Eck Bennett, and others, a second military company had been organized with a muster roll of eighty-five names. The organization was completed the evening before at the court house when the following officers were elected: McClellan Vance, captain; Horace C. first lieutenant; Alexander Bennet, second lieutenant ; Fred Newcomb, orderly sergeant; Ira Bentzell, second sergeant; 'Peter Dunevant, third sergeant ; Martin Goings, fourth sergeant; Fred Weber, first corporal; Allen Hull, second corporal; John McGuire, third corporal ; John Dungan, fourth corporal; Ernest Thomas, fifth corporal; Charles Thompson, sixth corporal; Benjamin Springer, seventh corporal ; Henry Tyler, Jr., eighth corporal. In the same issue of the Democrat it is stated that Benjamin Emery, then county treasurer, with the aid of John A. 'Lincoln and Cary. Jones, both well-known young lawyeys, was engaged in raising another military company to be subject to the President's third call for volunteers. Thirty-five had already signified their willingness to enlist. In its issue for July 13, the same paper reported the raising of still another company by Col. H. H. Prettyman, who claimed that he had ninety-five names on the muster-roll. Neither of these three companies was ever mustered into the state militia, and, therefore, none into the government service. ROSTER OF COMPANY E. Company E, on its arrival in Columbus, proceeded at once to Camp Bushnell, where it joined its regiment, the Third Regiment, Ohio' Volunteer Infantry, commanded by Col. Charles Anthony, of Springfield, and made up of the following companies: Company A, Covington; Company B, Springfield; Company C, Gettysburg; Company D, Urbana ; Company E, London; Company F, Hillsboro; Company G, Dayton; Company K. Piqua ; Company L, Sidney, and Company M, Sabina. The local company was given its government medical examination on Thursday, July 1. Several members were forced to return home, but their places were taken at once by recruits whom Lieutenant Emery had taken to Columbus from London. The company, as mustered into the United States service, was as follows: Officers—John F. Locke, London, captain; Peyton R. Emery, London, first lieutenant; E. Arnett Smith, London, second lieutenant; Rea Chenoweth, London, first sergeant; Harry Armstrong, London, second sergeant; William Trehearne, London, third sergeant; Thomas Coleman, Madison county, fourth sergeant; Harford A.

Company E returned with every man that it took out the exception of one, Emmett Timmons, who was discharged on surgeon's certificate of disability: MOVEMENTS OF THE THIRD. On July 7, 1898, the Third Regiment proceeded by rail to Florida and went into Camp DeSoto, on the west coast of that state, near Tampa, where it remained until Monday, -July 25,- on which date it `was transferred to Fernandina, on the east coast of Florida, where it remained until the latter part of August, at which time it moved by rail to Huntsville, Alabama, where it stayed until ordered to Camp Bushnell, Columbus. Ohio, to be ordered out on a thirty-days furlough. The trains bearing the Third Regiment and its equipment passed through London on the way to Columbus September 15. The section bearing Company E stopped for a few minutes at London, where a large crowd awaited it. Company E was returned to London on the evening of the next day, marched to the; court. house and there dismissed for a thirty-days furlough. They were never called together again and were mustered out of the United States service on October 26, 1898. The people of London held a great peace jubilee celebrating the return of peace, on Friday, September 30, 1898. It was estimated that fully twelve thousand people were in London, to watch the mammoth parade and to hear the speeches. In the procession were five bands, Company- E led by Captain Locke, a squad of police, the London fire department, Plain City Uniformed Rank, Knights of Pythias, the Grand Army of the Republic, with one hundred and twelve members, four hundred children from the public schools, one hundred and twenty children from the St. Joseph parochial school, floats depicting historical and industrial scenes, a bicycle corps of sixty-five men and fifteen women, a cavalcade of horseman, headed by the Oak Run "rough riders"—forty-five MADISON COUNTY, OHIO - 447 strong, and delegations from all the townships—Paint township having the largest, one hundred and fifty-eight strong. London was without a military company until 1900, when, on April 3, Company L of the Fourth Regiment, Ohio National Guard, was organized with E. Arnett Smith as captain; Rea Chenoweth, first lieutenant, and Harry Armstrong, second lieutenant. At the time of its organization the enlisted men of this company were, Dan.

Again London was without a militia company until during the spring and early summer of 1915 there was a strong effort to organize a local militia company and the result of the agitation was finally a success. On June 1 the organization of a company was effected, the company being known as Company C, Fourth Regiment, Ohio National Guard. On that date John C. Volka was elected captain, R. M. Cheseldine first lieutenant, and R. M. Mabe second lieutenant. Those mustered in at the time the company was organized were as follow : Pearle Ames, Darwin Beach, Raymond M.

The initial steps of the movement in London toward organizing a raid against the liquor dealers were taken at a meeting held in the Methodist Episcopal church on January 18, 1874, which received further impetus at a meeting held in the Presbyterian church on the following evening. The result was the preparation of the following petition: We the undersigned citizens of London, Ohio, and vicinity, desiring the good of our community, and interested in the welfare of our friends and children, knowing the use of intoxicating liquors as a beverage to be injurious to all concerned—the buyer and the seller—pledging ourselves to its discontinuance hereafter, do kindly but earnestly ask you to unite with us in this purpose. Accompanying this petition are pledges which our representatives will present, setting forth our desires. We assure you that it is with the kindest feeling that we petition you." This pledge was circulated through the town, and in less than one week was signed by over one thousand citizens; of every class and condition. On the 19th of the month, committees of ladies selected from among the best citizens, waited upon the proprietors of the several drug stores in London, and presented, for their signature, a pledge to the effect that they would sell no intoxicating liquors, save for purely medicinal or mechanical purposes. This was readily signed by all of the druggists. Two days later, committees of ladies, two of each, waited upon every person in the town who was engaged in the liquor traffic, with a pledge that they would discontinue the business at once and forever. But one of the twenty dealers signed the pledge, though a good feeling prevailed between the women of the committee and the saloon keepers: On the 28th of the same month, a deputation of ladies, to the number of between thirty and forty, called at several places where. liquor was sold) and engaged in singing and praying. for a short time. The exercises were uninterrupted by any unbecoming contluct on, the part of the liquor dealers or other persons. Prayer meetings were held at the Presbyterian church from nine to ten o'clock each morning, which were attended by. all classes of citizens, many of the business men closing their business houses for the purpose. Prayer meetings were also held each evening ,at the Methodist and Presbyterian churches alternating, which meetings were largely attended. Every day ladies assembled at the Presbyterian church and proceeded thence-to the several saloons, where, after Soliciting the proprietor to sign their pledge, and his having repeated refusal to do so, they would engage in singing and praying. Sometimes, the ladies were refused admittance to the house, and would gather on the pavement in front to conduct their services. During the week closing February 7,. two. saloonists succumbed to the pressure and gave up their business. By the close of the following week, the novelty was somewhat worn away and the excitement considerably. diminished Still, there was manifested on the part of those engaged in the- warfare a settled determination to continue the contest until the enemy was routed. The ladies still continued their daily ministrations of song and prayer before the principal saloons, but their numbers were somewhat lessened. LONDON TEMPERANCE ASSOCIATION.
