328 - HISTORY OF SENECA COUNTY

CHAPTER IX.

MILITARY HISTORY.

IN this chapter the writer deals with the whole military history of the county from 1782 to the present time; omitting here only local military organizations, such as Grand Army Posts and latter day militia commands, which are referred to in the histories of the cities and townships. Nothing is taken on presumption in the following pages, and thus, perhaps, it may happen that a few events and names are not recorded. It is notably the case with the history of French military occupation that no mention is made of this district. The French military posts at Sandusky, Miami, Presque Isle and Fort Duquesne have each a history; but the travels, explorations and dealings of the French

HISTORY OF SENECA COUNTY. - 329

soldiers and citizens with the Indians of this particular part of the Sandusky country are not of record. The first authentic reference to the territory, now embraced in Seneca County, is contained in a report of Capt. Butler to the British commandant, at Detroit.

It is known that the English, under Bradstreet, with Israel Putnam in command of a company of militia and a number of Iroquois, sailed up the Sandusky in 1764, and made a treaty of peace with the Wyandots, but whether they proceeded from Lower Sandusky to the villages of Capt. Pipe and Half King which were there located, is a question that cannot now be decided.

This Capt. Butler, an Irish Tory in the English army, was dispatched to the Sandusky country by Depeyster, the British commandant, to aid the Indians in repelling Col. Crawford's advance, in June, 1782. On the night of June 3, 1782, Butler's white cavalry and mounted battery, and Elliott's command camped within the great bend of the river, about fourteen miles above Lower Sandusky (Pleasant Township), and thence proceeded to the south line of the county, where a camp was pitched and from which point they advanced toward Battle Island, within three miles of Upper Sandusky, to assist the Delawares and Wyandots in the fight of June 5, 1782, which cost the Americans the loss of seventy men of Col. Crawford's force of 480, and led to the horrible death of Crawford in the township named after him in Wyandot County, recorded in the first part of this work. With Butler was Simon Girty, a less refined villain than the captain, but equally well versed in cruelty (vide Pioneer History).

From 1782 to 1812 little or nothing was heard of military affairs in this district. During the latter year Gen. Bell, acting under orders from Gen. Harrison, proceeded, with a small staff, down the west bank of the Sandusky River, and marked a trail along the plateau or high ground, to be used as a military road. John Meeker had charge of the workmen, and followed up Bell so closely with the work that all small trees and shrubs were; cleared away between Upper and Lower Sandusky, within an hour after the general arrived at the lower post. This highway was subsequently improved a little from Delaware to Lower Sandusky, and by this route Harrison, Ball, Wells, McPherson, McMahon, Croghan and other commanders led their troops northward in 1813.

Building of Fort Ball.-This military post was established in 1813, prior to the construction of Fort Seneca, lower down. It appears that Gen. Harrison sent forward Col. Ball's cavalry command to erect quarters for the troops at some favorable spot on the banks of the Sandusky, where they could rest and recruit while acting as a corps of observation. Col. Ball was led to the place by some friendly Indians, and was not disappointed when he behold the locality. Near the river bank a stream of crystal water poured forth from its spring, and here the Colonel determined to erect the stockade. The command worked steadily, and in a few days a camp (with drill-ground and houses) was ready for occupation. The troops named the place Fort Ball, in honor of their commander. After the completion of Fort Seneca a portion of Harrison's infantry replaced the cavalry garrison of Fort Ball, and made an entrenched camp. During the month of July several soldiers died at Fort Ball, and even on the morning of July 31, 1813, when the garrison moved to Camp Seneca, a few died before the fort was lost sight of. John Searles, who served in the war of 1812, moved with his family to Fort Ball in 1820, and made his home in one of the block-houses of the old fort. Paul D. Butler and David Risdon, who boarded with him, lived in the same house during the building of Spencer, saw-mill, when Henri or Levi Creesy, the blacksmith, and David Smith. the fiddler, had still another room in this quaint old hotel. At that time the

three block-houses were intact, all facing the river, with a half-acre parade ground extending north. This ground was enclosed by posts twelve inches thick fixed firmly in the earth and fastened near the top with old bayonets, and all surrounded by a deep ditch. The roofs of the houses were simply clapboards. This post was occupied at intervals until peace was restored, when it was allowed to go the way of all frontier buildings. Where the old fort stood are the beautiful homes of a prosperous city's people, and close by stands a magnificent pile of granite to link together the glories and sorrows of 1813 and 1861-66.

Building of Fort Seneca.-Early in June, 1813, a Mr. Connor and some friendly Indians appeared before Gen. Harrison to describe the country along the Sandusky River, above the trading post at Lower Sandusky. Their information confirmed him in the opinion he had entertained of its strategic importance. In June, 1813, to further satisfy himself that such a post was necessary, he met a number of Delaware, Wyandot, Shawnee and Seneca Indians at Franklinton, and interviewed the chiefs regarding their military sympathies. He failed not to discern that, under their assurances of friendship, a design existed to aid the English, and seeing this he determined to erect a fort some nine miles above Sandusky post. In July of that year he arrived on the ground with a force of 600 men, including Ball's and Wells' dragoon companies. During the first week the site was selected on Sections 8 and 9, Pleasant Township, and lumber prepared. Then the work of construction was carried forward with energy. This post stood on the west side of the river, where the bank was about forty feet above the river-bed level. One acre and a half of land at the springs was enclosed by oak posts twelve inches thick and 144 inches high, with a clay wall six feet thick on the east front, and an unstaked embankment between the ravine on the south and the single picket fence of the fort. The embankment on the north was capped by a strong chevaux-de-frise work. On the northeast corner was the bastion, used as a store-house for ammunition. On the northwest was a strong block-house twenty-five feet square and sixteen feet high, while sixteen feet square blocks commanded the southeast and southwest corners.

Here the British conspired with the Indians to have Gen. Harrison assassinated, and with this object hired a Shawnee, of Wapakonetta, at Malden, Canada, named Little Blue Jacket, to join the few Shawnees and other friendly Indians, then en route to Camp Seneca, thus gain admission to the camp, and murder the American commander. He confided his intention to Beaver, a Delaware, in the following words: "I will kill the General, even if I was sure that the guard will cut me into pieces no bigger than my thumb nail." The Beaver, already a friend of Harrison, was now a confidant of the Shawnee. His duty was questionable. While debating within himself, Little Blue Jacket came up, and at the sight of the drunken brawler and murderer, he formed the resolution to save the General. Addressing the Shawnee, he said: "Blue Jacket, you must be a great warrior. You will not only kill this white man (Col. McPherson) for treating you as you deserve, but you will also murder our father, the American Chief, and bring disgrace and mischief upon us all. But you shall do neither; I will serve you as I would a mad dog!" So saying, he struck the Shawnee to the ground, and one more of Proctor's fellow-conspirators completed his earthly course.

This fort was untenanted from the close of the war of 1812 to November 19, 1819 when Rev. James Montgomery arrived to take up his office as agent for the Seneca Indians. The site, three miles distant from the village of Fort Seneca, is still distinguishable, but every vestige of the building has disappeared, like the men who erected it.

HISTORY OF SENECA COUNTY. - 331

Harrison at Fort Seneca.-Few readers are unacquainted with Maj. Michael G. Croghan's magnificent disobedience of Gen. Harrison's orders in holding Fort Stephenson (Lower Sandusky), and in totally defeating the Indians and British, under Gen. Proctor, on August 2, 1813. For some time prior to this, Gen. Harrison made his headquarters at Fort Seneca, a half day's march up the river from Fort Stephenson. Having the opinion of a military council that Croghan's position was untenable against the approaching Indians and British, he dispatched Thomas Connor to that post with orders for its instant evacuation. Connor and his guides did not arrive there until July 28, when the commandant returned an answer to the general, that orders came too late and the fort would be defended to the last. On July 30. Col. Ball and Maj. Wells, in charge of two cavalry companies were sent forward to arrest Croghan and place Wells there to carry out the evacuation. Croghan was brought before Gen. Harrison, explained his plans, was restored to his command, and on returning to Fort Stephenson completed his preparations and disposed his 160 men to receive the British and Indians. This reception was held August 2, 1813, a most disastrous one for the English and their allies. On August 3, Harrison's force evacuated Fort Seneca to pursue the allies.

Toledo War.-This ridiculous squabble of 1835, actually claimed the earnest attention of the very men who laid the foundations of two great States. No less than 300 men were enrolled in Seneca County, of whom the greater number marched to the Michigan line under Gen. Henry C. Brish. A mention of the fact that a large number of able-bodied men were drawn away from their farms and their workshops in the spring of the year 1835, a time when the county required the presence of all her workingmen, is enough to point out the childishness of the two administrations. A full reference to this "Comedy of Errors" is made in the second part of this work, the history of Ohio, in the sketch of Judge Higgins in the history of the Courts and Bar, in the pioneer chapter, and in several personal sketches and reminiscences.

Pioneer Militia of Seneca County.-On August 7, 1832, Col. Lowell Robinson and Adjt. Calvin Bradley called a meeting of freeholders to meet at John Goodin's house, at Tiffin, August 17, 1832, to elect officers of Company Four. First Regiment, First Brigade, Seventeenth Division Ohio Militia. A military review of officers of First Regiment was held August 31, 1832, at the request of Lieut. Col. William Toll, and repeated annually until 1834. In 1835 the Seneca Blues organized, with Henry Ebert commanding. This organization served five years. This was a uniformed company armed with flint-lock muskets supplied by the State. Gen. George W. Gist of the First Brigade Ohio Militia, appointed Jonathan Parker brigade major, James H. Wilson, aid-decamp, and John Staub, quartermaster, in June, 1836. A celebration of July 4, 1836, was the leading event of the kind up to that year. Eli Stein, brigadier-general First Battalion, Seventeenth Division, Ohio Militia and James Durbin, brigade major, called a meeting of the First Battalion, at Sam Leard's house, June 16, 1838.

In May, 1839, the officers of the First Regiment met at Staub's house, in Tiffin, the officers of the Second Regiment at Michael Hendel's house. in Republic, and the Third Battalion at the house of Sam Leard, in Rome, by command of Maj. Gen. John Bell and John W Walker, quartermaster.

In June, 1839, Thomas M. Brashear was appointed brigade major; R. W. Reid, aide-decamp, and John Staub, quartermaster.

Col. Peter Lot ordered a muster of officers of First Regiment, at Tiffin, August 30, 1839.

Soldiers' Monument.-The question of erecting a soldiers' monument was first discussed in the spring of 1866, but the proposition slept for eighteen years. A reference to the political chapter will point out the vote for and against the erection of a monument to the soldiers of Seneca County. In accordance with this vote the commissioners purchased from Michael Scannell, himself one of the soldiers of 1861-65, the gore, or angular piece of land, situate exactly on the site of old Fort Ball, within the original village of Oakley or Spencerstown, and there, on May 8, 1885, laid the base stone of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument. This is of Westerfield granite, weighing 16 tons and 300 pounds. Henry Cromwell, who was present at the completion of this beautiful memorial, early on the morning of May 13, 1885, says: " The citizens of Seneca County may well feel proud of having erected the grandest memorial of respect to her loyal soldiers of any county in the State of Ohio."

The monument bears the following inscriptions:

370 - HISTORY OF SENECA COUNTY.

On the east front, commencing at the top, "Shiloh,Vicksburg, Gettysburg (Die), Seneca County to her Loyal Soldiers." On the north front "Atlanta, Antietam, Appomattox (Die), Fort Ball 1812." On the west front '. Nashville, Cedar Creek, Wilderness." On the south front "Resaca, Stone River, Mission Ridge."

The question of placing this monument in the Court House Square was seriously considered by many of the people, but the better sense of the majority prevailed, and now one of the historic spots of the continent is marked by an artistic pile of granite and marble,which groups, as it were, the recollections of 1812 and of 1865.

The unveiling and dedication of the monument took place July 3, 1885. Ex-Gov. Foster was president of the day; Glen. W. H. Gibson, dedicator; Joseph P. Myers, marshal, and J. A. Thrapp, chaplain. At the close of the president's address, H. W. Yeager, the contractor, unveiled the monument, and the ceremony of dedication commenced. Addressing Gen. Gibson, the president said:

"Commander of the G. A. R., I am authorized to ask you at this time to accept from the citizens of Seneca County, at the hands of its official representatives, this memorial, and to request that it may be dedicated by you to the noble purpose for which it has been erected."

Gen. Gibson then responded in one of his happiest speeches, and called on the adjutant to detail a guard.

Adj. Edward Lepper then read the following names, and each one reported present:

Schriner, of Leander Stem Post.

Blackwell, of Isaac P. Rule Post.

Carson, of W. T. Brown Post.

Turner, of W. T. Brown Post.

Callihan, of Norris Post.

Day, of Powell Post.

Grove of Rice and Creglow Post.

Eckelberry, of Robinson Post.

He then responded:.

"Commander, the guard is present."

Com. Gibson "Officer of the Day, you will direct the Officer of the Guard to station this detail about the memorial shaft.

After they had been placed about the monument he proceeded:

"Holy Scripture saith: 'The Lord gave the word; great was the company of those that published it. Ps. lxviii, 11.

"'Declare ye among the nations, and publish and set up a standard. Jer. L, 2.

"'In the name of our God we will set up our banners.' Ps. xx 5.

"Officer of the Day, you will order the guard of honor to raise the flag."

Officer of the Day-'Officer of the Guard, let the flag be raised."

The flag was then drawn up the pole, and as it unfolded itself to the breeze the chorus of forty or fifty male voices broke forth in the inspiring strains of the "Star Spangled Banner."

Commander-"The forces of the nation are divided into two great arms: that of the navy and that of the army. Senior Vice-Commander what words of Holy Scripture may apply to the navy?"

James Crawford, S. V. C., then responded as follows:

"They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters, these see the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep. For He commandeth and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves therent.lien they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and llc bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet, so He bringeth them into their desired haven. Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!" Ps. cvii, 23, 24, 25, 28-32.

Commander-"Officer of the Day, let the Guard of Honor set up the symbol of the navy and let a sailor be detailed to guard it."

HISTORY OF SENECA COUNTY. - 371

A large anchor was then set up against the south side of the monument and Capt. C. P. Bragg, dressed as a United States sailor, with drawn cutlass, mounted the base and stood guard.

The Commander then asked

"Junior Vice-Commander, what Scripture may apply to the army?"

Oscar Chamberlain, J. Y. C., responded

" ' To your tents, O Israel.. . So all Israel went to their tents.'-2. Chron. x. 16. `The children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts. Num. i. 52. 'Thou hast given a banner to them that fear Thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Ps. ix. 4. 'The Lord shall utter His voice before His army; for His camp is very great; for He is strong that executeth His word; for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?'-Joel ii. 11. `Some trust in chariots and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.' "-Ps. xx. 7.

Commander-"Officer of the Day, let the Guard of Honor set up the symbol of the army, and let a soldier be detailed to guard it."

A musket with bayonet, canteen, haversack and knapsack were then placed against the north side of the shaft, and W. J. Daywalt, in full soldier uniform, armed with a musket with fixed bayonet, was placed on guard.

Gen. Gibson then asked-

"Officer of the Day, if the work of the navy and army be well done, what proclamation from Holy Scripture can you make?"

Frank Froderici, Officer of the Day, then responded:

"A proclamation of peace. 'Lord thou wilt ordain peace for us; for Thou also hast wrought all our works in us.'-Isaiah xxvi, 12. `How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that sayeth unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!. .The Lord bath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the Grids of the earth shall see the salvation of our God."'-Isaiah Iii. 7. 10.

Commander-"The chaplain will now offer the prayer of dedication."

Rev. J. A. Thrapp, the chaplain, offered prayer.

Gen. Gibson then said:

"Attention! G. A. R! In the name of the Grand Army of the Republic, I now dedicate this memorial shaft. I dedicate it to the memory of those who in the navy guarded our inland seas and ocean coasts, and fell in defence of the flag. I dedicate it to the memory of those who in the army fought for our hillsides and valleys and plains, and fell in defence of the flag. I dedicate it to the memory of those who on land and on sea fought for the Union, and fell in defence of the flag who on land and sea fought for the authority of the Constitution, and fell in defence of the flag; who on land and on sea fought for their country,and fell in defence of the flag. Comrades, salute the dead!"

After a brief pause the Commander called "Attention! At ease! " and then said:

"Mr. President, our service of dedication is ended. In the name of my comrades I thank you and those you represent for your courtesy in permitting us, who are bound by special ties to them, to honor our dead."

"Attention! G. A. R! As we close these services the guard of honor is withdrawn, the symbols of army and navy are removed, the flag is lowered, but the memorial we have dedicated remains guarded by our dead. So long as it shall endure it shall speak to us and to all the loyalty and heroism in the army and the navy, and of that significant national authority of which our flag is the symbol to every true American heart."

"Officer of the Day,remove the symbols." (After a pause). "Lower the flag." (Another pause). "Dismiss the guard. Chaplain, pronounce the benediction."

The benediction was then pronounced, and one of the most beautiful ceremonies ever witnessed in the county concluded a fitting close to the military history of Seneca.
