Wildes, lieutenant-colonel. The latter was succeeded toward the end of the war by Wilbert B. Teters, of Noble County, promoted from the rank of major. The regiment was ordered to Parkersburg, September 1; thence on the 6th to Gallipolis, where it was armed and equipped. September 18 and 19, the regiment was mustered into the service, with the exception of two companies not yet full. October 16, the regiment moved again to Parkersburg, whence it took passage to Clarksburg. October 27, it reached Buckhannon, W. Va., and was there brigaded with the One Hundred and Tenth, One Hundred and Twenty- second and One Hundred and Twenty-third Ohio. November 9 it proceeded to New Creek. There the measles raged violently, and when the regiment departed, December 12, it left 110 men in hospital. The march was via Burlington and Petersburg to Moorefield, and en route the troops were much annoyed by guerrillas. At Moorefield the One Hundred and Sixteenth was posted with a section of artillery, and remained until January. They were surrounded by Jones' Cavalry Division and held until reinforcements arrived. On the 11th it reached Romney, where it was engaged in foraging, drilling and picket duty. March 17, 1863, found the regiment at Winchester, where it remaiued until the withdrawal of the army from that place in June. Meantime it was frequently engaged in scouting and skirmishing. It moved from Winchester through Mercers burg and Loudon, Pa.., to Hagerstown, Md.; thence to Sharpsburg and to Martinsburg, August 4. On the 29th of April, 1864, the One Hundred and Sixteenth started up the Shenandoah Valley, under General Hunter. At Piedmont, near Staunton, it found the enemy well posted, charged his works and reached his fortifications, but was compelled to retire. Making another charge it drove the enemy from his works. In this engagement the regiment lost 176 men killed and wounded. In June the command was at Lexington, whence it advanced toward Lynchburg, encountering the enemy near that place on the 18th, with the loss of many men. From the 18th to the 22d the regiment was marching day and night, through deep dust, on the scantiest rations. On the 27th and 2Sth, supplies were received, and on the 29th the troops halted at Gauley Ford. July 2 the regiment marched to Camp Piatt, thence took steamer for Parkersburg, where it took the cars and proceeded eastward. At Cherry Run, fifteen miles from Martinsburg, the railroad waS found to be de- 258 - HISTORY OF NOBLE COUNTY, MO. stroyed, The regiment marched to Harper's Ferry and Sandy Hook, arriving on the 14th. Hence it was ordered into London County, Va., to assist in driving Early from the valley. July 11, the troops encountered the rebels at Snicker's Gap, and a spirited fight ensued. The rebels were held in check until dark, when the regiment recrossed the river and marched to Winchester. Thence it fell back through Martinsburg and Hagerstown to Maryland Heights, where it arrived nearly exhausted, July 29. The regiment reached Cedar Creek August 12, and thence fell back to Halltown. On the 3d of September Sheridan's forces advanced, meeting the enemy at Berryville, where the One Hundred and Sixteenth was engaged, with slight loss. The regiment was in the battles of Opequan and Fisher's Hill. At the latter place it made a gallant capture of a rebel battery. It was next in the battle of Cedar Creek, October 19. Leaving that place November 9, it reached Opequan Crossing on the 18th, and remained guarding the railroad until December 19; it then joined the army of the James and went into winter quarters at Aiken's Landing. March 26, 1865, the One Hundred and Sixteenth moved and entered into the Petersburg campaign. It engaged in the assault upon Fort Gregg, and in the pursuit of the rebel armies. At Burksville the right wing of the regiment was sent out on the Danville Road, while the left wing moved on to Appomattox C. II., where Lee surrendered. After the surrender the left wing moved to Lynchburg; on the 15th of April, to Burkville, where it was joined by the right wing, and the entire regiment proceeded to Richmond, arriving on the 25th. The regiment was mustered out June 14, with the exception of Companies F and K., which were consolidated with the Sixty- second Ohio, their time not expiring until October. June 23, 1865, the regiment was paid off and discharged at Camp Dennison, Ohio. COMPANY F. PRIVATES. Thompson, Freeman C., corpl., e. Nov. 3, 1862; pro.

The One Hundred and Sixty-first Ohio, in the one hundred days' service, was composed of the Seventeenth Battalion, from Tuscarawas NOBLE COUNTY 1N THE WAR - 263 County ; the Forty-third Battalion, from Morgan County ; the Ninety- third Battalion, from Noble County, and one company from the Fifty- eighth Battalion, from Hancock County, all troops of the Ohio National Guard. The regiment was mustered into the service May 9, 1864, with the following officers : Oliver P. Taylor, colonel; George S. Corner, lieutenant-colonel, and Samuel B. Pugh, major. The regiment was immediately ordered to Cumberland, Md., where it arrived May 12. The regiment moved to Martinsburg, W. Va., and on the 4th of June -companies A, B, D, F and II were sent up the Shenandoah Valley with other troops with a supply train for Hunter's army, which was then supposed to be near Staunton. But on arriving there it was found that Hunter had advanced ; however, he was finally overtaken at Lexington on the 11th. The troops remained with the army until it reached the vicinity of Lynchburg, then turned over the supplies and proceeded back to Martinsburg, with many sick and wounded and a train of over one hundred and fifty wagons and ambulances ; with one hundred and fifty prisoners and several hundred contrabands, they left the army June 17, and began their return march through a hostile and mountainous country. They were supplied with only three days' rations of crackers. Arriving at Beverly on the 28th they rested two days, then proceeded to Webster. The entire distance marched was nearly five hundred miles. At Webster . they took the cars for Martinsburg, where they arrived July 2. Thence they marched to Hainesville, where the remainder of the regiment was then encamped in charge of a corral of one hundred and twenty-five teams and wagons. They arrived in camp at about eight o'clock, p. m., and before Supper could be prepared orders were received for the regiment to return to Martinsburg. Reaching that place at daylight the next day and remaining in line of battle until eleven o'clock, the regiment fell back through Shepherdstown and Sharps burg to Maryland Heights. From July 6. to July 8 the regiment was continually engaged in skirmiShing ; after this it went into position in Stone Fort. It afterward aided in defending Maryland Heights until the rebels were driven from the Shenandoah August 25. The One Hundred and sixty-first was ordered to Ohio, and September 2, 1864, was mustered out at Camp Chase. COMPANY C. Mustered in May 9, 1864, at Camp Chase, Ohio, for one hundred days, by Capt. H.

The early part of the year 1863 was the gloomiest period of the war. Distrust and doubt filled the public mind; loss and suffering had long attended the Federal armies, and many who at first had been confident of a speedy and triumphant victory for the Union cause, now began to waver and adopt the opinions of those favoring peace at any price. This sentiment was strengthened and fostered by the busy tongues of ambitious, stay-at-home orators; who, in Ohio as elsewhere, sought to take advantage of the situation and pose as leaders of public opinion. In Ohio the year is memorable for its exciting political campaign, in which C. L. Vallandigham, whose public utterances had caused his arrest and banishment from the North, was one of the candidates for the office of governor ; also for organized resistance to the government, which was attempted in three instances in Noble, Montgomery and Holmes Counties. The arrest of Vallandigham in May 1863, in Dayton, led to disturbances on account of which martial law was proclaimed in Montgomery County. The Holmes County outbreak was occasioned by an attempt to resist the draft. The Noble County "rebellion " the only disgraceful blot upon the military record of the county-preceded all the other occurrences mentioned, taking place several weeks before the arrest of Vallandigham. The following account of the affair is gleaned from Whitelaw Reid's "Ohio in the War," the names of the participants in the rebellion being suppressed : In February 1863, Flamen Ball, then United States district attorney for Southern Ohio, came into pos- 276 - HISTORY OF NOBLE COUNTY, OHIO. session of a letter written by a school-teacher in Hoskinsville to a private soldier in Company G, Seventy-eighth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, in which he denounced the administration, expressed opposition to the war, and advised the soldier to desert. The advice was taken; and the deserter found refuge and concealment near Hoskinsville. A deputy United States marshal and a corporal's guard from the One Hundred and Fifteenth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, were thereupon sent from Cincinuati with orders to arrest the deserter and his friend who had counseled desertion. This force returned with the report that they had found the men they sought under the protection of nearly a hundred citizens of Hoskinsville and vicinity, armed with shot-guns, rifles and muskets, and regularly organized and officered. " The captain pleasantly proposed to the deputy United States marshal and squad. that they surrender and be paroled as prisoners of the Southern Confederacy!" March 16, Lieutenant-Colonel Eastman, post commandant at Cincinnati. issued an order to Captain L. T. Hake, to report with companies B and H of the One Hundred and Fifteenth Ohio, with ten days' rations and forty rounds of ammunition, to United States Marshal A. C. Sands, to serve as his posse in making arrests in Noble County. They reached Cambridge on the evening of the 18th, and were given all possible aid and information by the inhabitants. Leaving the railroad and marching across the country toward Hoskinsville, they were informed while en route that the people were still in arms and deter mined to continue their resistance. But on their arrival on the afternoon of the 20th, they found that the valiant rebels had deserted the village and concealed themselves in the woods, leaving only a few frightened women and children to welcome the soldiers. The expedition remained three days, making arrests and searching for those who had been concerned in the previous resistance to the deputy marshal. Moses D. Hardy made an affidavit before United States Commissioner Halliday giving the names of sixty-five of those participating in the rebellion. Leaving Hoskinsville, the troops marched to Sharon, then to Caldwell, and thence to Point Pleasant, halting- for the night and making arrests at each place. Having thus covered the disaffected district, they returned to Cambridge, where they were welcomed at a public banquet. Subsequently thirty-five prisoners, thus arrested, were brought before the United States court in Cincinnati, presided over by Judges Swayne and Leavitt, and arraigned on indictment for obstructing process. 'Nine of the accused. pleaded guilty and were fined and imprisoned. Indictments for conspiracy were found against ten of those concerned in the demonstration, and three of them were convicted, sentenced and fined $500 each. The instigator of the trouble -the teacher who had written the NOBLE COUNTY IN THE WAR - 277 letter which. caused the soldier to desert—escaped, as did also many others, making their way to parts unknown. The Noble County Republican stated that at a meeting held by the men engaged in the protection of the deserter, resolutions had been passed, declaring, first, that they were in favor of the Union as it was, and the constitution as it is; second, that they would oppose all arbitrary arrests on the part of the Government ; third, opposition to the enforcement of the conscription act ; fourth, recommending the raising of money by contribution for the purchase of arms. to enable them successfully to resist a draft, should another be ordered ; fifth, the assassination of an obnoxious person. "How these brave words ended has been told. Quiet was restored in the county, and the healthy influence of the punishments inflicted was soon manifest in the tone of the community." There is no doubt that the newspaper accounts published at the time were full of error and exaggeration. The " rebellion" was magnified and its extent over-estimated, so much so, in fac, that even now many people in Noble County and elsewhere have very erroneous ideas concerning it. Mr. Reid's account of the affair is perhaps as correct as could be expected. One of those concerned in the so- called " rebellion," a reputable and prominent citizen of Noble Township, states his knowledge of the affair as follows : " T. W. Brown was not a school teacher, but a pupil at Hoskinsville. The letter which he wrote was to his cousin and never reached him. His cousin had reached home before the letter arrived at his address. The first alleged attempt at an arrest was at a spelling school at Hoskinsville. Brown was not there. The soldiers burst open the door and frightened those present who went home with reports that soldiers were in search of Brown, and that he would be killed if found. The next morning, in company with some of my neighbors I went to Hoskinsville. Arrived there, we found several men with guns. There was snow on the ground and they said they had taken their guns to shoot rabbits. More than half of those present had no guns. We waited around the stores and blacksmith shop. A stranger rode through on horseback, going north. I did not see him halt or hear him speak to any one. This man afterwards proved to be the Deputy United States Marshal. While he waS passing a small squad of soldiers — about five, as nearly as I can remember — were marching armed about three hundred yards distant, along the stream east of the town. Thus ended, so far as I know, the demonstration at this time. I knew of no organization or officers. The statement that there was an organization and a captain, and that they demanded a surrender to the Southern Confederacy, contains not a word of truth. The newspaper extract is likewise fictitious." Our informant also states that he can bring many other credible wit- 278 - HISTORY OF NOBLE COUNTY, OHIO. nesses acquainted with the affair, who would make oath to the same essential statements. SOLDIERS' REUNIONS. Army societies had had their reunions from the days of Washington, who organized a society composed exclusively of officers of the Revolution. The Army of the Tennessee was formed on that model. It and other similar organizations organized at the close of the war have always had their annual meetings, from which all soldiers below the rank of second lieutenant were rigorously excluded. J. M. Dalzell issued his call for a general national reunion, of all ranks of the Union army, to meet in Lansing, Mich., March 4, 1872. For some reason it was a failure. His next call was for one of similar character, to meet in Washington City, on the same date of the following year. He had industriously ex ploited his novel departure in the daily press, to which he had universal entree, and the rank and file had come to understand his idea quite thoroughly. But the place chosen was a bad one for the experiment, and the reunion of 1873 was a failure like its predecessor at Lansing. Everybody now gave over the project but Mr. Dalzell. Even more earnestly than ever he set about making preparations for another reunion on the old plan, and accordingly, in 1874, issued his call for a national reunion to be held at Caldwell, Ohio, September 15, 1874. That place then had about four hun dred inhabitants, and but a single line of railway. Mr. Dalzell had learned something from repeated failure, and this time determined to hold his reunion at home, where he could control it by the help of his old friends. He was the president and secretary. The papers of the whole North threw open their columns to his ready pen, and he spent the most of that year in writing up his beloved project. Letters of encouragement came from near and far, and the press editorially commended the experiment to its readers in every State. It grew in popularity with the boys as they came to understand it better, Mr. Dalzell easily procured the passage of bills by Congress recognizing it as national, and affording it the use of a large number of cannon, and any quantity of ammunition. General Sherman promised to preside. After that all was plain sailing. The reunion came off in splendid style, in the woods west of Caldwell, and Mr. Dalzell was happy. General. Sherman lent it the influ ence of his presence, and indorsed the idea unequivocally in an address of rare power and eloquence. Almost every State was represented, and no one estimated the crowd at less than 25,000: It is still remembered as not only the first, but the greatest, national soldiers' reunion ever held, though it has often been imitated since. BIOGRAPHIC. GENERAL WILLIAM H. ENOCHS, one of the most gifted sons of Noble County, and the only native of the county 279 - NOBLE COUNTY IN THE WAR. who attained to the rank of general in the late war, is now a prominent lawyer and an influential citizen of Ironton, Ohio. His parents were Henry and Jane (Miller) Enochs. He was born near Middleburg, in Noble County, March 29, 1842. He was reared on his father's farm and attended the common schools in winter with the advantage, however, of one term at the Ohio University. When Fort Sumter was fired upon he was a student at the Ohio University, and on the 19th of April, 1861, he enlisted in Company B, Twenty-second Ohio Volunteer Infantry; soon after he was promoted to corporal and sent to guard the railroad between Marietta and Parkersburg, thence to West Virginia, participating in the numerous marches and skirmishes of his command, and the battle of - Rich Mountain. He was promoted to fourth sergeant, and in that rank was mustered out of the service July 24, 1861. He at once re-enlisted in Company K, Fifth West Virginia Infantry, an organization composed almost wholly of Ohio men. In October he was elected captain of his company, but owing to his youth the colonel of the regiment refused to recommend him for a captain's commission, and he was made first lieutenant of the company. His drill and discipline soon attracted the attention of army officers, and he was frequently complimented for the manner in which he had brought up the company. his regiment was organized and camped at Ceredo, West Virginia. Rebel regiments were also being organized within a few miles of its camp, the surrounding country swarmed with bushwhackers, and his company and regiment was in active. service from the time of their enlistment. In the winter of 1862 the regiment was ordered to Parkersburg. Soon afterward Lieutenant Enochs was sent with his company to New Creek Station and assigned to the command of that outpost. At this time there was a vacancy in the major-ship of the regiment, and Lieutenant Enochs was recommended by the officers of the regiment for the position, but again his youth prevented his preferment, and he was promoted to captain and assigned to Company E. This company soon became the best drilled and disciplined company in the regiment, and in the spring of 1862 led the advance at the battle of Moorfield, participating in all its marches and skirmishes along the south branch of the Potomac, including the battle of McDowell, May 8, 1862. Returning to Moorfield, the regiment crossed the mountains with the army under Generals Schenck and Milroy, striking the rear of the Confederate 'army under Stonewall Jackson, where the regiment was engaged. The Union armies, united under General Fremont, followed Jackson up the Shenandoah Valley, skirmishing and fighting day and night until the battle of Cross Keys, June 8, 1862, when Jackson crossed the river under cover of night, burning the bridge behind him; Fremont's army went down the valley. Schenck's division and General Milroy's brigade (to which the regiment then belonged) marched from Luray 280 - HISTORY OF NOBLE COUNTY, OHIO. Valley across the Blue Ridge and joined the army of Northern Virginia commanded by General John Pope. The division was assigned to the Eleventh Corps, then commanded by General Franz Sigel. The regiment participated in numerous skirmishes until the terrible battle of Cedar Mountain was fought, which was one of the most desperate battles of the war. The regiment afterward participated in the battles along the Rapidan and Rappahannock Rivers, including Freeman's Ford and Sulphur Spring, being under tire every day for about twenty days. In the first day of the second battle of Manassas, although the junior captain of the regiment, Captain Enochs was in command. The regiment went into the fight neat the stone house, and in the woods some distance beyond, the regiment fought almost the entire two days of the battle over the possession of a railroad cut in the woods. The cut was taken and re-taken, until one fourth of the regiment was either killed, wounded or missing. History has never given the facts concerning this battle; the loss and disaster to the Union army there has never been fully told. The regiment next participated in the battle of Chantilly. In all these marches, skirmishes and battles Captain Enochs took an active part, being in command of either his company or the regiment. After the battle of Chantilly the regiment, being almost entirely destroyed, was ordered to the fortifications around Washington to obtain shoes and clothing. Soon afterwards it was transferred to the Kanawha Valley, West Va. In the spring of 1863 it was ordered to Gauley Bridge on the Kanawha, where it remained the greater portion of that year, scouting and skirmishing through the mountains of that country. August 17, 1863, Capt. Enochs was commissioned lieutenant- colonel of the regiment. May 4,1864, his command broke camp and started toward Louisburg, West Va. At Meadow Bluffs it joined the army under General George Crook, and crossed the mountains, destroying the railroad and bridges. It joined the army under Genei al Hunter at Staunton, Va., and under that general made the raid upon Lynchburg. In its endeavor to get into Lynchburg, Colonel Enochs with his regiment charged the breast-works but was repulsed and driven back with heavy loss. The Union army was compelled to retreat to the Kanawha Valley. This was one of the longest and hardest raids of the war. It was, as the general states it, "days and nights of marching, starving and fighting." The regiment remained but a short time in the Kanawha Valley, when it was ordered to Harper's Ferry and the Shenandoah Valley. The army started up the valley, fighting the rebels at Bunker's Bill, July 19, 1864, and at Carter's Farm, July 20, 1S64, and at Winchester, July 24. The Union army was driven north of the Potomac River and soon became a part of the army under General Sheridan, and under him was in the battles near Halltown, Va., August 22, 2:i and 24, 1864. At the battle of Berry- PICTURE OF BRIG. GEN. W. H. ENOCHS NOBLE COUNTY IN THE WAR - 281 ville, September 3, 1864, Colonel Enochs' regiment made a brilliant charge on a Mississippi brigade of four regiments, driving them from the field and capturing a number of prisoners. At the battle of Winchester, September 19, 1864, Colonel Enochs' regiment was in the front on the extreme right of the Union army. Shortly after going into the fight the rebels were found behind stone walls on the opposite side of a deep slough, the regiment waded through and charged the rebels, driving them from their chosen positions until their fortifications were reached. In this charge Colonel Enochs was severely wounded when within one hundred yards of the fortifications, a. ball striking him in the head and cutting through a. heavy felt hat. He was supposed to have been instantly Hied, and was left where he fell. During the night he was conducted to his regiment, and the next morning was again in command, following the retreating rebels toward Fishersis Hill, which point they had strongly fortified. September 22, Colonel Enochs' was given charge of the advance, which climbed the mountain and got in the rear of their works before they were discovered. When the signal was given, the whole army charged the fortifications, capturing most of the enemy's artillery and routing their army. The regiment under Colonel Enochs participated in numerous other skirmishes up to the battle of Cedar Creek. For gallant and meritorious services during this campaign, Colonel Enochs was brevetted general; being the youngest man of his rank in the Army of the Potomac. During this service his regiment had become so depleted that it was consolidated with the Ninth West Virginia, and was afterwards known as the First West Virginia Veteran Infantry. The regiment remained in the valley under General Hancock until near the close of the war, when it was sent.. to Cumberland, Md., where Colonel Enochs was assigned to the command of the department of Maryland, and on March 13, 1865, he was commissioned brigadier-general. General Enochs saw much hard service during the war, and distinguished himself for bravery and gallantry, as is shown by his successive promotions. His fellow officers speak in the highest terms of his intrepidity, and the fact that he commanded a brigade at the age of twenty-two years is the very highest possible testimony as to his superior abilities as a soldier and officer. He was mustered out of the service July 24, 1865. He studied law as he could during the war, and on being discharged, entered the Cincinnati Law School, from which he graduated in 1867. He began. practice in West Virginia, removing in the fall of 1868 to Ironton, Ohio, where he soon rose to prominence and is still in successful practice. General Enochs was married in 1875 to Miss Annis Hamilton. Ex-President Hayes thus speaks of General Enochs : " Brigadier-General Williaim H. Enochs served in my command as colonel of the Fifth Virginia Infantry, and after the re-enlistment of 282 - HISTORY OF NOBLE COUNTY, OHIO. the regiment and its consolidation with the Ninth Virginia as colonel of the First West Virginia Veteran Infantry — that being the title, as I recall it, of the consolidated veteran regiment. Of course I knew him intimately as a soldier and as a regimental commander. He was conspicuous and a man of mark always. His courage, promptness and energy were extraordinary. He was faithful, cheerful and hopeful. His diligence was great, and his ability and skill in managing and taking care of his regiment were rarely equaled.. If called upon to give his distinguishing merits as a soldier, I should say force, energy, intrepidity. I have often said that the old Kanawha Division could make itS fastest and longest march in a day with an enemy in front, trying to retard and obstruct, and with Colonel Enochs and his regiment in the advance clearing the way. his military record is in all respects honorable and bright. In the language of the old iron-clad oath, " it is a pleasure to commend his soldierly qualities, without any mental reservation whatever." General I. II. Duval, of Wheeling, speaks of General Enochs as follows : " I first met General W. H. Enochs early in the war in the Kanawha Valley, West Virginia. I think he was at that time major of the Fifth West Virginia Regiment. I was very favorably impressed with him at sight, and soon discovered that he was a remarkable man for his age. We were intimately associated during the war, and I can safely say that I did not meet an officer during that time in whim I had more confidence. He was brave, daring and efficient, always ready for whatever duties were required of him. Later in the war his regiment and mine were consolidated and formed, the First Veteran Regiment of West Virginia.. I was retained as Colonel, and General Enochs was the lieutenant-colonel. I was proud of the as sociation, feeling that I had an officer upon whom I could rely under all circumstances. Soon after the consolidation he was promoted to the colonelcy of his regiment. At the head of the regiment he distinguished himself on all occasions, wherever he fought, and I think commanded one of the grandest regiments I ever saw. It was thoroughly drilled and disciplined." GENERAL CHARLES S. SARGEANT was born in Morristown, N. J., September 5, 1839. At the age of eighteen he entered the service as private in the First United States Mounted Rifles, and at the breaking out of the war was stationed at the St. Louis arsenal, at St. Louis, Mo. In 1861 he entered the volunteer service as sargeant of Co. G, First Missouri Infantry, a three months' organization, and shortly after was promoted to second-lieutenant of the company. Upon the re-organization of the regiment for the three years' service, he was again commissioned second-lieutenant. his command was engaged in the capture of Camp Jackson, at St. Louis, Mo. This is uow regarded as one of the important events in the history of the Rebellion, as it NOBLE COUNTY IN THE WAR - 283 placed the city in the possession of the Union army. He was in the fight at Boonville, which was the first engagement in the West. August 10 the regiment was engaged under General Lyon at the battle of Wilson's Creek. General Lyon was killed and Captain Cavender seriously wounded, thus devolving the command of company upon Lieutenant Sargeant. In September of 1861, the regiment was again re-organized as the First Missouri Light Artillery, and he was commissioned first-lieutenant, and assigned to Company H. With this command he remained until he was detailed as aide-de camp on the staff of General Schofield. March 27, 1862, he was promoted to a captaincy and placed in command of Company I, First Missouri Light Artillery. This battery was brigaded with the Second Division of the Army of the Tennessee, and was engaged in the battles of Shiloh and the siege at Corinth. August 31, 1862, he resigned his commission to accept promotion to major and assistant adjutant-general, and was assigned to duty on the staff of General Schofield. December 4, 1862, he was promoted to the lieutenant-colonelcy of the Eighteenth Missouri Infantry, and to colonel August 15, 1864. The regiment was in all the battles of the Atlanta campaign, Colonel Sargeant being in command of the regiment. At the battle of Atlanta, July 22, 1863, his command held a position on the extreme right of Fuller's division, and were hotly engaged in repulsing the terrific attacks of a division of the enemy under General Walker, in one of which the Confederate commander was killed. In this engagement Colonel Sargeant distinguished himself by the able manner in which be I commanded his regiment. He, was with Sherman in "The March to the Sea," and the advance through the Carolinas. His regiment took a prominent part in the battle of Bentonville, N. C., in which Mower's division gained the rear of the rebel army and forced the evacuation of their lines of intrenchment. With his command he participated in the Closing events of the war, and the grand review at Washington, D. C , in May of 1865, after which the regiment was ordered- to St. Louis, where it was mustered out of the service, in July of 1865. March 13, 1865, he was brevetted brigadier-general United States volunteers, for "gallant and efficient services during the war." Lack of space prevents a detailed statement of the service of General Sargeant. For the greater portion of the time he was connected with the Army of .the Tennessee, and participated in all the notable battles in which it was engaged. His successive promotions (from a private to that of brigadier-general) is all the evidence required to show his record as a soldier. At the close of the war he engaged in the commission business at St. Louis, Mo.; thence to Iowa and to Caldwell, in 1870, where he is now engaged in the produce business. Is a prominent member of the Grand Army Of the Republic. In April 8, 1874, he was married 284 - HISTORY OF NOBLE COUNTY, OHIO. to Miss Anna Keeler, of Muscatine, Iowa. They have three children living, Stella, Fanny and Florence. COLONEL HARMON WILSON was born near Cadiz, Ohio, March 15, 1840. When thirteen yearS of age he entered the manual labor school at Albany, Ohio, where for two years he supported himself by his labor mornings and evenings, at eight cents per hour. At the age of fifteen he began teaching winter terms of school in Noble County, using his earnings to defray his expenses in summer at the Ohio University. In the spring of 1861 he took his salary for the preceding winter and invested in an outfit to bore for oil on Duck Creek. Failing in this enterprise, he returned to the school room. At the expiration of the first month, after the dismissal of his school in the evening, he wrote upon the blackboard, " Gone to the war." That night he walked to Summerfield, and enlisted in Captain John Moseley's company (I, Twenty-fifth Infantry). Upon the organization of the company he was made corporal. December 7, 1861, he was promoted to second lieutenant, and assigned. to the Seventy-ninth. When this regiment was consolidated with the Seventy-fifth he was transferred to the Twentieth, and became first lieutenant of Company I. February 11, 1862, he was made the adjutant of the regiment ; October 5, 1862, promoted to captain of Company F, and to major, January 6, 18(45; January 11, 1865, to lieutenant-colonel; to colonel June 20,1865; was mustered out July 15, 1865. Colonel Wilson served with the Twenty-fifth in the West Virginia campaign of 1861. He was with the Twentieth at Fort Donelson, Shiloh, and Vicksburg, and was with Sherman on " The March to the Sea," and after the battle at Atlanta was in command of the regiment. After the close of the war he studied law with Attorney- General James Murray, at Sidney, Ohio, where he is now engaged in the practice of his profession. COLONEL FRANCIS M. SHAKLEE.— The people of Noble County take a just pride and evidence a commendable interest in the perpetuation of the names and records of her brave boys, who for four long weary years fought for the maintenance of the patriotic principles taught them by their fathers,. Among the number entitled to special mention in this chapter, is Colonel Francis M. Shaklee. He was born near Moscow Mills, Morgan County, Ohio, August 30, 1828. Here his youth was passed attending school and learning the trade of millwright, that being his father's vocation.. In 1850 he entered the Meadville, Pa., college, being the first Student from Noble County. In 1852 he left college to try his fortunes in the gold fields of California. His journey there, which occupied seven months, was one of adventure. He visited the Sandwich Islands, and made quite an extended trip into Mexico. Arriving in California, he first engaged in mining, but not meeting with desired success he turned his attention to ranching, in which lie was engaged for two years. In 1857 he returned to Illi- PICTURE OF BRIG. GEN. C. S. SARGEANT NOBLE COUNTY IN THE WAR. - 285 nois, whither his parents had immigrated in 1853. Two years later he returned to Noble County and began teaching, which he followed successfully until June 26, 1861, when he" enlisted in Company I, Twenty-fifth Ohio Voluuteer Infantry, and upon the organization of the regiment was given the position of corporal. He was with the regiment until some time after, the death of Captain John Moseley, when he received from Governor Todd a recruiting commission. Returning to Noble County, he enlisted in Company I, Twentieth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and was commissioned its captain. He joined the regiment at Cincinnati, where he taught his company the rudiments of a military education, and from there was ordered to join the army in front of Fort Donelson. After the battle the captain was detailed to guard 1,000 prisoners, whom he. conveyed to St. Louis, Mo. Fearing that an attempt to rescue them would be made by the rebel element of the city, he took them to Bloody Island, where his command remained for three weeks. Their sufferings were great, owing to the inclement weather and the inadequate provisions for comfort. April 6, 1862, his regiment was engaged in the battle of Pittsburgh Landing. On the second day of the fight his company made a gallant charge, gaining possession of one of the Union hospitals, which had been captured by the Confederates, and rescuing a body of Union prisoners, in the evening of the same day he was sent with a detail of 100 men to fill a vacancy in the picket line. In posting his men he got beyond the lines, and making a mistake in the countersign it was with some difficulty that he established his identity. After this battle his regiment was for some time engaged in guarding the base of supplies. During this time he signalized his thirty-fourth birthday by gallantry in the battle of Bolivar, where Armstrong's cavalry of fifteen regiments were repulsed and routed. From this time he was with Logan's division and participated in all its battles and skirmishes. On the 12th of May the Twentieth deployed in advance of the Seventeenth Corps, Colonel Shaklee commanding the skirmishers of General Logan's division. The regiment participated in the battle of Champion Bills, and were placed under such severe fire that. it was dangerous for a staff officer to approach with orders. Crossing the Big Black, his regiment reached the rear of Vicksburg, and acted as support to the assaulting party on the 21st of May,. June 4 Colonel Shaklee took command of the regiment, which position he filled with credit afterwards. In January of 1864 the regiment re-enlisted, and returned to their homes on veteran furloughs. During this time he received his commission as major.' In April he returned to his regiment. In the battle of Atlanta . he had his horse shot from under him, and was injured by explosion of a shell. The regiment left Atlanta with Sherman's army, but was detached on the 19th of December at Marietta, 286 - HISTORY OF NOBLE COUNTY, OHIO. Ga., there the colonel was detailed to conduct eighty men, whose terms of enlistment had expired, to Chattanooga, Tenn., to be mustered out. At that time that section was overrun with Mosby's guerrillas. Coining up to the rear guard of the Fourteenth Corps, in command of General Davis, he learned that the guerrillas were harassing our men and that further advance was exceedingly dangerous. He called upon General Davis, who advised him to halt. The colonel, upon consultation with the men, decided to Make the attempt. As soon as he had left the protection of the rear guard he directed his men to cut sticks, which they carried to represent muskets, their arms having been taken from them on leaving the regiment. At Kingston they came upon a force of rebel cavalry. The colonel immediately deployed his men as skir mishers, and giving his commands in a loud voice, convinced the rebels that it was the advanced line of a heavy force. The rebels retreated, and he ordered his men to charge, and pursued them for eight miles, when he learned that they had gone into camp. By taking a devious course he got in the advance, and at midnight they went into camp. This illustration is given to show that while possessing other qualifications of an officer, he waS not lacking in expedients. At this time his health had become so impaired that he tendered his resignation, which was accepted November 25, 1864. January, 1865, he was brevetted lieutenant-colonel for "meritorious. Services." After resigning his commis sion he returned to Middleburg, and engaged in merchandizing until 1869, when he began milling, in which he is now engaged. April, 1864, he was married to Miss Margaret, (laughter of Alfred Ogle. She died in February of 1877, and in December following he was married to Miss Frances Simmerman. Four children were the result of the first marriage — Alfred 0., Norville E , Mattie S., and Bertha M. In closing this biography, it is but just to say that the career of Colonel Shaklee, both • as citizen and soldier, is an unspotted one, and that he is entitled to a prominent position among the officers from Noble County. He was a rigid disciplinarian, and still retained the confidence and esteem of his command. He was regarded by his superior officers as not only brave and daring, but entirely trustworthy. COLONEL JOHN C. PAXTON was born in Gettysburg, Pa., Feb. 22, 1824, and died in Marietta, Ohio, Feb. 28, 1881. He began life for himself at the age of ten years , He came to Ohio at an early age, and for some years was engaged in the mercantile business at Sharon, where he remained until his removal to Marietta in 1853. In 1845 he wedded Agnes, daughter of Alexander Greenlee, one of the pioneers of Olive Township. They had five children, of whom three survive — Augusta J., wife of M. W. Downing, an oil operator at Dexter City; Mary A., wife of D. C. Blondin, of Nebraska, and Margaret H., wife of Dr. A. E. Osborne, Santa Clara, Cal. In 1857 be married Sophia L. Reed, PICTURE OF LT. COL. F. M. SHAKLEE NOBLE COUNTY IN THE WAR - 287 a native of Pennsylvania, who is still living. Mr. Paxton was a man of strong talent, ready wit and generous nature. He was in Louisiana in 1860, when the vote was carried to tear down the old flag upon the capitol, and witnessed the raising of the first rebel flag in that State. He hastened north and was soon enlisted for the great contest. He served in the Eighteenth Ohio Volunteer Infantry as quartermaster for a term of three months, and at its expiration in August, 1861, returned to Marietta and recruited a regiment from the border counties of Ohio, which entered the service as the Second Virginia Cavalry. He was commissioned lieutenant-colonel of the regiment, Sept. 16, 1861, and on the resignation of Colonel William M. Bolles, was made colonel July 18, 1862. He proved a bold, persevering and dashing leader, and was spoken of in the highest terms by hiS fellow officers and his command. He left the service in 1863, and after the war ended was heartily in favor of burying the past." CAPTAINS WII.LIAM L., JOHN M. AND H. H. MOSELEY. —Captain William L. Moseley was born in Barnesville, Belmont County, Oct. 23, 1826. The following year the family removed to Summerfield, where they found but one family—that of James W. Shankland. Here the elder Moseley resided until 1839, when he removed to a farm in the immediate vicinity. He removed to Enoch in 1843, and died in Cambridge in 1880. He kept a hotel in Caldwell for quite a time, and was extensively known as a man of strict integrity and great energy. He had a family of seven children, of whom only three are now living -W. L., H. II. and Martha M. (Askey). In 1846 William L. was married to Miss Jane, (laughter of James Hesson, one of the pioneers of Enoch Township, and soon after settled in Middleburg, where he followed his trade— that of a carpenter — until 1862, when he received from Governor Todd a recruiting commission. In company with Colonel Teeters he enlisted in Company H, One Hundred and Sixteenth Regiment. He was mustered into the service as second lieutenant. The regiment was attached to the command of General Crook's, and did service in West Virginia and the Valley campaigns. The captain was with his company in all the battles and skirmishes in which it was engaged until the battle of Opequan, where he was severely wounded. .Soon after he was promoted to first lieutenant and to captain in February, 1864. He was in command of a company, however, during the campaigns of 1864. One noteworthy fact in connection with the military history of this family is that there were but three sons, and that all were in command of Noble County organizations. John M. was captain of the first company that went from Noble County (I, 25th). He died at Cheat Mountain, in 1861. Had he lived he would no doubt have distinguished himself, as he was a brave officer. Henry was sergeant of the same company, and after the death of his brother took command. He was taken pris- 288 - HISTORY OP NOBLE COUNTY, OHIO. oner at Gettysburg on the first day of that battle, and confined in Lib- bey ; thence removed to Charleston, S. C., where, with other officers, he was placed under the fire of Union war vessels during the siege. From Charleston he was removed to Millen, Ga. Here he attempted his escape. In company with Lieutenant Roach and a captain of a battery, they passed through almost incredible hardships, and wheu so near Sherman's army that they could hear the bugle calls, they were recaptured and taken to Columbia, S. C. Twice again he made the effort to escape. On one occasion he got his comrades to bury him in the sand just previous to the removal of the prisoners, but through the perfidy of an Illinois captain, his hiding place was revealed, and he was again closely guarded. His last attempt— which was successful— was made while they were being taken to Charlottsville. The train stopped in a swamp ; he jumped from the train, took to the swamp, and through the kindness of a negro was concealed and cared for until the arrival of Sherman's army.. He was a. prisoner. for twenty-one months. He now resides in Orville, Wayne County. After the close of the war William L. returned to his home, and in 1870 was elected treasurer of the county, and in 1872 was re elected. He served the people with credit. During Hayes' administration he was appointed to a position in the Navy Department, where he remained three years. He now resides upon a farm near Dexter City. As a soldier, official and citizen, Captain Moseley has met all the requirements of each position. Throughout the county he is known as one of its valued citizens and a gentleman of unimpeachable character. CAPTAIN JOSEPH PURKEY was born in Sharon, Noble County, Ohio, February 20, 1836. He came of a robust German family, noted for their strength, indomitable courage, and deep religious convictions. In the early days they built a church and school-house of logs, which for nearly a century was known by their name. Captain Purkey here resided until 1850, when he removed with his parents to Iowa, where the elder Purkey died of cholera, devolving the care of his widowed mother and his younger brothers and sisters upon himself. Eager for education, and seeing no prospect for it in the West, he returned to Ohio with the family, and settling upon a farm undertook the support of his almost helpless charge and the acquisition of the rudiments of an education. In 1856 he entered Sharon College, and there remained as a student, alternately teaching, laboring on the farm, and attending college until August 12, 1862, when lie enlisted in Company H, One Hundred and Sixteenth, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and was chosen orderly sergeant of the company, the duties of which office he discharged with satisfaction of his officers until the battle of Piedmont, Va., where he was severely wounded, taken prisoner, and started off for Andersonville. While passing through North Caroplina he was again Severely wounded PICTURE OF CAPT. W. L. MOSELEY NOBLE COUNTY IN THE WAR - 289 while endeavoring to effect his escape. He was re-captured, and confined in Anderson vine for eight weary months. Ile finally succeeded in eluding the vigilance of the guards, made good his escape and returned to the Union army, more dead than. alive. After recuperating his health at home he returned to his command with the rank of second lieutenant, and took part in the final _struggle which culminated in Lee's surrender at Appomattox. Soon after, he was made first lieutenant and brevet captain for "gallant conduct in the field." He was a brave soldier, and wears his scars and promotions with becoming modesty to this day. In October, of 1862, during a short absence from his regiment, he married Miss Augusta, daughter of James Canaday, of the old Globe Hotel, where he was a guest in his college days, and where their courtship ripened into love. The union has been indeed a happy one, surrounded by an interesting group of intelligent children, in whom Captain Purkey takes pardonable pride. Returning home at the close of the war, he commenced the study of the law with the Hon. W. H. Frazier. After his admission to the bar he removed to Cumberland, Ohio, where for the past eighteen years he has prosecuted his profession with success, at the same time managing large agricultural intereSts and holding the humble but honorable office of justice of the peace. A good scholar, a brave soldier, a successful lawyer and magistrate ; a genuine gentleman of the old school, respected and trusted by all who know him, the life of Captain Purkey furnishes to the young another example so frequently seen in American life of what industry and pluck will accomplish without regard to the adverse circumstances of early life. CAPTAIN I. C. PHILLIPS was born in West Virginia, April 5, 1837. In 1844 the family moved to Guernsey County, Ohio, and the following year came to what is now Noble County. His youth and early manhood were spent upon the farm and as clerk in a dry goods store. August 13, 1861, he enlisted in Company E, Thirty-sixth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and upon the organization of the regiment was made orderly sergeant. He participated in the numerous scouts _ and skirmishes of the regiment during the winter of 1861 and 1862; was in the battle of Louisburgh, and accompanied his command when ordered east to reinforce General Pope. He was present at the second battle of Manassas, and was engaged in the battle of South Mountain and Antietam. The regiment was then ordered to join General Rosecrans, at Nashville, Tenn. January 18, 1883, he was promoted to second lieutenant and transferred to Company F, which he commanded at the battles of Chickamauga and Mission Ridge. At the latter engagement his regiment formed a part of the column which stormed the Ridge. During the fight some of the enemy's artillery was being drawn down the eastern slope of the Ridge. Captain 290 - HISTORY OF NOBLE COUNTY, OHIO. Phillips with a squad captured the guns and drew them back to position. After this battle the regiment veteranized and returned home on a furlough, at the expiration of which they returned to West Virginia, and on the 9th of May fought the battle of Cloyd Mountain, Phillips being in command of his company. He joined General Hunter at Staunton, Va., and participated in the assault upon the outworks of Lynchburg and endured the Sufferings of that disastrous retreat to the Kanawha Valley. The command were compelled to march day and night without sleep or rations for more than one hundred miles, and were haraSsed by the enemy's cavalry until the mountain passes were reached. July 24, 1864, the battle of Kerns town was fought, Company F losing twenty-two men of sixty-one who went into the fight. September 3, 1864, the battle of Berryville was fought. In this engagement Captain Phillips was severely wounded. December 30, 1864, he was promoted to first lieutenant, and to captain January 20, 1865. His wounds incapacitated him for active service and he was honorably discharged by order of the War Department, Jan. 23, 1865. During the time Captain Phillips was a member of the regiment he participated in fifty-two battles and skirmishes, never missing a march nor an engagement. After his rementurn from the service the captain engaged in merchandising in Summerfield, where he remained until his removal to Caldwell, in 1880. In 1870 he married Miss Ella, daughter of Stephen Wilson. CAPTAIN WILLIAM T. BIEDENHARN, merchant, of Harriettsville, is among the leading business men of the county. He was born in Batesville, Noble County, in 1840. In his boyhood he acted as a clerk in a store at Louisville, Monroe County. August 11, 1862, he enliSted as a private in Company C, One Hundred and Sixteenth Ohio Volunteer Infantry (Captain Arcknoe), and served until discharged by order of the War Department, June 11, 1865. Entering as a private, he was chosen orderly sergeant ; promoted second lieutenant June 15, 1863 ; promoted first lieutenant January 12, 1865 ; and "for gallant and meritorious service " was brevetted captain to rank from March 13, 1865. He served as aide-de- camp and acting adjutant-general on the staffs of Lieutenant-Colonel Wells, Thirty-fourth Massachusetts ; Colonel Thomas F. Wildes, One Hundred and Sixteenth Ohio ; Major Potter, Thirty-fourth Massachusetts, and Colonel William S. Lincoln, Thirty-fourth Massachusetts. He was with the regiment in all itS engagements except one (Hilltown), and was a gallant soldier and good officer, as the record shows. After the war he came to Harriettsville, where he has been engaged in the mercantile business since August 21, 1865. He has been extensively engaged in tobacco packing ever since he came to the place ; first as a member of the firm of Miles & Biedenharn until 1884, and since alone. As many as 225 hogs NOBLE COUNTY IN THE WAR - 291 heads of tobacco have been packed in a single year by the above firm. Of late years the business has been less extensive. Captain Biedenharn was married in 1882, to Fannie Davenport, of Washington County. They have one child - George Frederick. LIEUT. CHARLES J. ENGLER. John Engler came from Susquehanna County, Pa., with his family in 1832 to Caldwell, where he remained until 1842, when he removed to a farm near Macksburg. He followed his trade, that of a wagon-maker, in connection with farming, until age compelled him to retire. He is still living in Macksburg, at the good old age of seventy-nine; his wife died in 1875, aged seventy-seven ; both were Methodists in their religious belief. To them were born a family of eight children—Elizabeth, William S., Joseph T., Lydia M., John G., Charles J., Nancy J., and David H. John died in the service. He belonged to Company B, Seventy-seventh Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He was taken prisoner at Mark's Mills, Ark., April 8,1864. He died a prisoner of war. Charles J. was born in Noble County in 1839. Nov. 22, 1861, he became a member of the same company. He distinguished himself at the battle Of Shiloh, and at the same time suffered a great injustice from one of those accidental matters to which soldiers as well as every one else are liable. The night preceding the battle he was sergeant of the guard, and reported the enemy advancing in force. The report was carried to General Sherman ,who, disbelieving it, ordered his arrest, for causing what he thought to be a false alarm. A few hours later the general learned that Lieutenant Engler's statement was correct, and had his report been accepted and acted upon, the present debatable question as to whether the Union forces were on that occasion taken by surprise would not exist, and many valuable lives would have been saved. As soon as the facts were known he was released, and in that great battle he wiped out by his conspicuous bravery every vestige of the undeserved stigma. At this time the papers had been forwarded to headquarters recommending his promotion to a first lieutenancy, but on the receipt of the information that he had been arrested, and with no knowledge of the facts, they were destroyed. Some time afterward, however, slight reparation was made by his appointment as second lieutenant of his company. He followed the fortunes of his regiment, and was in the battles of Shiloh, Corinth, Fallen Timber, Mark's Mills, Little Arkansas, Little Missouri River and other minor engagements. In April of 1864, he received a first lieutenant's commission, and in December of that year was mustered out of the service, his term of enlistment having expired. His brother Joseph was in Company D, Forty-second Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and was in all the battles in which the Forty- second was engaged. In 1865 Charles J. was married to Miss Margaret C. Keller. They have two children — Burt M. and Mary C. LIEUTENANT HENRY CLINEDINST, son of Adam and Julia A. Cline- 292 - HISTORY OF NOBLE COUNTY, OHIO. dinst, was born in York County, Pa., January 16, 1840., and came to this county with the family when three years of age. He was raised on a farm and in July of 1861 entered the three months' service. At the expiration of his term of enlistment he returned to his home, and upon the organization of the Seventy-seventh Ohio Volunteer Infantry he re-enlisted in this regiment and became corporal of Company B. He soon rose to first sergeant, and was finally made first lieutenant of his company. He participated in the battles of Shiloh, Corinth, Fallen Timber, Little Rock, Ark., Marks Mills, and other lesser engagements. At the battle of Mark's Mills he was severely wounded in the foot, from which he never fully recovered, although he remained with his command until mustered out of the service in the autumn of 1864. A braver heart than that of Lieutenant Clinedinst never beat under a blue coat. He did his whole duty unflinchingly and without a murmurs. He possessed all the requirements of an officer and was better qualified to command than many of his superior officers. His bravery and integrity were never questioned, and he was said to have been one of the best soldiers in the service. He was twice married. His first wife, Miss Almira Warren, to whom lie was united in 1866, died the following year. His second wife was Miss Jane M., (laughter of Samuel and Marrilla Hussey. By this union there were three children—Mary E., Samuel II. and Adam B. She died in 1877, aged twenty-nine years. After his first marriage he settled on a farm, where he died in 1874, aged thirty-four years. FREEMAN C. THOMPSON was born in Washington County, Pa., February 25, 1846. In the autumn of 1854 the family removed to Noble County and settled in Stock Township. Shortly after he had passed his sixteenth birthday he enlisted as a private in Company F, One Hundred and Sixteenth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and although but a mere boy he was with the regiment in all its marches, skirmishes and battles, and on many occasions he evidenced a degree of bravery and coolness under fire that would have done credit to a veteran. In the assault on Fort Gregg, April 2, 1865, he distinguished himself for his pluck and daring. In this engagement (which General Grant in his Memoirs says " was the most desperate that was seen at any time in the East ") through a perfect tornado of grape and cannister, he and his comrades reached- the last ditch. How to scale the parapet was a question requiring only a moment for 'solution. Using each other as ladders they commenced the ascent. Almost at the top one was shot and fell back into the ditch. Thompson was struck twice with a musket, and fell into the ditch with several ribs broken, but in a short time was again on the top of the parapet fighting with muskets loaded and handed him by his comrades below. Soon the advantage was taken possession of, and the whole PICTURE OF HENRY H. CLINEDINST NOBLE COUNTY iN THE WAR. - 293 army swept in, and the fort was ours. In appreciation of this, " the greatest feat of personal heroism recorded during the war," CongreSs voted the "gallant thirteen" medals of honor. The order under which Mr. Thompson's medal was bestowed is as follows : WAR DEP'T, ADJ'T-GENERAL'S OFFICE, WASHINGTON, May 9, 1865. Corporal F. C. Thompson, Co. F, 116th, O.: Herewith I enclose a medal of honor to be presented to you under resolution of Congress for distinguished service at Fort Gregg. By order of the Secretary of War. Very respectfully, E. D. TOWNSEND, A. G. Thompson participated in the closing events of the war, and witnessed the surrender of the Confederate army at Appomattox. He was one of the number selected to carry the rebel flags surrendered by General Lee to Washington. They were conveyed by special steamer and were received by the Secretary of War with great ceremony. He took them each by the hand, and in language which evidenced his sincerity and gratitude, he thanked them for the great service they had done their country. On the muster out of his regiment he returned to his home. He had not at this time attained his majority although for three long years he had been fighting his country's battles. In 1875 he was elected sheriff of the county, and upon the expiration of his term was re-elected. In 1866 lie was married to Miss Mary Archer. She died in 1879, and in 1883 he was again married to Miss Amanda Archer, a cousin of his first wife. By the first marriage there were six children, only two of whom, Clara and Frank, are living ; by the second, two - Lulu and Hugh. CAPTAIN JOHN BROWN, an officer of the Ninety-second Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry, was a Scotch- man by birth, and emigrated to this country when he was about eighteen years of age.
