     Carroll County has ever proven herself loyal and true in times of wars in which the Nation has been called upon to participate.  The cemeteries of the county contain the graves of a number of those who fought in the Revolutionary conflict, as shown below.  The War of 1812 had a number who bore well their part in that second war with the Mother country, and they too now sleep the sleep that "knows no waking and dream of battle fields no more."

     The first great conflict in which this county was called upon to take an active part was the Rebellion of States (Civil War, 1861-65) in which this with all other Ohio counties gave freely of their brave sons and hard-earned treasurer, but all for the sake of the final triumph of freedom and union of States.  It is not practicable to try to here give a roster of the hundreds of brave men who enlisted from Carroll County to go to the South land and fight out the question of States Rights and incidentally the right to hold slaves on this soil, but suffice to state that each township came to the front with men whenever the call was made by President Abraham Lincoln.
     The county records and paper files disclose the fact that in February, 1863, before the war was really half over, there were seven hundred and seventy-one names of soldiers who had received their bounties in this county.  The Journals of the County Commissioners show that during the "War Years" many thousand dollars were paid out for the relief of "war widows" and their families, as well as for direct bounties to encourage the men to enlist and not in the end have to be drafted into service.

THE FIRST ALL FOR MEN.

     When Fort Sumter was first fired on by the Rebel hordes, Carrollton was not backward, neither most of the townships within the county, in their speedy reasons to Lincoln's call for 75,000 men, as will be seen by the roster of the honored dead that now rest in Woodland Cemetery.
     Parts of companies and regiments for the Union army were recruited here for the Second, Eleventh, Thirty-second, Eighties, Hundred and Fourth, and One Hundred and Twenty-sixth Regiments Ohio Volunteer Infantry.  The Carrollton Academy closed its door on account of so many of its young men volunteering for the Northern army; mechanics left their benches and forges and farmers left their furrows in order to don the blue clothing with brass buttons Attorney B. F. Potts organized a company for the Thirty-second Ohio Volunteer Infantry.  In the Eightieth Regiment were Capt. David Skeels, later major, and then breveted lieutenant-colonel, who lived to be almost a hundred years of age.  John H. Tripp was appointed draftsmaster and a draft was ordered for Carrollton but the quota was complete before any Carrollton names were drawn from the wheel.

ENLISTMENTS BY TOWNSHIPS - 1862

     Before the Civil struggle was nearly half over Carroll County, by townships had furnished almost four hundred soldiers, as here indicated:

Augusta township --------- 24   Loudon township --------- 20
Brown township ----------- 61   Monroe township --------- 18
Centre township ----------- 38   Orange township ---------- 35
East township -------------- 15   Perry township ------------ 21
Fox township -------------- 39   Rose township ------------ 20
Harrison township --------- 20   Union township ----------- 17
Lee township -------------- 36   Washington township ----- 21

     The local newspaper in June, 1862, when Lincoln called for 300,000 more men, had a five stanza poem (original) the last one of which read:

"We are coming Father Abraham, three hundred thousand more
From Mississippi's winding stream and from New England's shore,
We leave our ploughs and workshops, our wives and children dear.
With hearts too full for utterance, with but a silent tear;
We dare not look behind us, but steadily before -
We are coming, Father Abraham, three hundred thousand more."

CAPTAIN BEATTY'S COMPANY ACCEPTED.

     The first company of men recruited for the Civil War from Carroll County was that formed by Captain Beatty.  The local newspaper of Carrollton of May, 1861, contained the following facts:
     "The first company of Carroll county Guards have been quartered since Monday on the fair grounds, cooking their owns meals and making their own beds consisting of straw, buffalo robes, blankets, etc., kindly furnished by the people of the town and surrounding country.  Good order prevails, and we venture to say that when they are marched into Camp Dennison, a more respectable, brave and patriotic set of men cannot be found there.
     "Come ye men - ye young men and join the battle of the Union and your country's rights.  Be ye not backward.  Let us send a full company from Little Carroll and show our neighbors that if we are small we have our own proportion of patriotism."
     "The First Uniforms - A movement is on foot to uniform the men with red shirts, so they will make a respectable appearance upon leaving.  Let this be done - it costs but little.  The ladies (God bless them) have tendered their services to make them all up in a half day."
     "A Flag Presentation - About nine a.m. before leaving for camp, the company was marched up in front of the courthouse where they halted, and where the ceremony of the presentation of the flag by the ladies was performed.  Gen. E. R. Eckley opened the ceremony most beautifully and touchingly and at its conclusion Mrs. Moody and Mrs. Wilson, in behalf of the ladies of Carrollton, bore the flag forward and presented it to the company, who by Lieutenant Pearce, accepted it in the following beautiful, pathetic and patriotic remarks:
     "Ladies:  On behalf of the Carroll Guards, I, as their representative, accept this beautiful flag.  Of the motives which prompted you to present this emblem of the free need not be spoken of by me, more than to say it emerged from patriotic hearts and that they were conceived in patriotic minds.  Although this may seem as merely a token of the personal respect that you have for us, that are about to depart from you; yet it is but a manifestation of that love of country, and that generous flow of patriotic blood that you have inherited.  Yes, ladies, we take this with us to the field of freedom's battle,  against tyranny and oppression and we pledge you our honor as soldiers, that we will sacrifice every drop of blood in our veins, before a rebel foe shall erase a star or pollute a stripe that you have placed thereon.  Accept our kindest and most heart-felt thanks for the noble generosity manifested.  Believe us ready and willing to die under its ample folds sin defense of our dearest rights for what nobler death than that dying for the glorious Stars and Stripes - emblematic as it is of the Union and the Constitution.  And ladies, while we are undergoing privations and toil of a soldier life, perhaps in an enemy's country, we ask no better encouragement to lead us on to victory than the sight of this gorgeous ensign.  And when we turn our eyes and behold the beautiful stars there emblazoned, we cannot help but think of you, the fair and generous donors.  Your untiring labors in our behalf have endeared you to us.  For while we have had but a glimmer of success you flew to our rescue and gave us your kind words, causing noble men to leave their families and the comforts of home and join the army of freedom.  We are now about to leave you, we know not where we will go or be assigned, neither do we know whether a man of us may return to once more behold you; but we hope to return again with this flag, bearing upon it the trophies and mementoes of a glorious victory; when freedom with be proclaimed throughout the whole land and the glorious and immortal stars and stripes will wave over the South, as they now wave in the loyal Northland.  We bid you an affectionate farewell and fell satisfied that we carry away with us your prayers for our success in this good fight for liberty and Union.  This flag you have given us, we will carry to the battle field - it shall accompany us everywhere we go, and we solemnly swear that we will never disgrace it."
     The company then took their leave of many friends, and you may be assured, that there was "no lack of weeping" nor "dearth of tears.  The company then set out for Bowersville, on the S. & I. R. R. via Leavittsville, where a most sumptuous dinner was spread and the soldiers received with every evidence of welcome that the coldest heart could wish.  After dinner they proceeded to Leesville, where another ovation awaited them and there they were quartered for the night.  On Tuesday a. m., at an early hour, they were marching to Bowersville, where they took the train for "camp."

GRAVES OF THE SOLDIER DEAD

     Grandview Cemetery, at Carrollton, holds the remains of many soldiers.  The name on one Revolutionary soldier buried there is Samuel Bushong, 1776.  The following are the soldiers of the War of 1812 with Great Britain who are here buried: Samuel McCutcheon, Joseph Worstel, Thomas Lyons, William Mills, George W. Butler, Thomas Swearingen, William Brown, Charles Runion, John Beabout, David J. Levy, William Tripp, James Moore, Philip Ward, James Hazlett, Robert Gould, Peter Smith, and George Harvey of the service of the War with Mexico, 1848.
     In 1915 there were buried in this cemetery over ninety Civil War soldiers and there are many more at this date.
     It should be added that Thomas Poole (1812), Peter Smith (1812), Jacob Eddleman (Mexican War) and John M. Gould (Mexican War) were volunteers, but not having been mustered into actual service their names do not appear on the foregoing lists.

ANOTHER SACRIFICE.

     William Campbell, of Brown Township, this county, joined the Second Ohio Regiment and was detailed in Civil War days in the ill-fated expedition that went South under the command of Gen. O. M. MitchellYoung Campbell, was captured by the rebels and hung at Richmond, Virginia, after months of starvation in Libby Prison.
     (For a list of the soldiers who gave their lives for Democracy in the last great World War, the reader is referred to the "Supreme Sacrifice" list of names under the head of World War in this military chapter.)

RESPECT FOR THE SOLDIER DEAD.

     The Carroll County records of the county commissioners in September, 1884, show as follow:
     "Ordered that three suitable men be appointed in each township in Carroll County, whose duty it shall be to look after and cause to be buried in a decent and respectable manner, in any cemetery or burial place within this State, other than those exclusively used for the burial of the pauper dead, at an expense not to exceed thirty-five ($35) dollars, the body of any soldier, sailor or marine, having at any time served in the Union army or navy of the United States, who shall hereafter die, not leaving means sufficient to defray the necessary funeral expenses.  The committee by townships, for Carroll County was:
     Loudon Township - Morris James, Clark Slates and John H. Smith.
     Lee Township - John Richards, David Nevin and Joseph Talbot.
     Fox Township - S. T. McFadden, David Hunter and John Clark.

     Monroe Township - Charles C. Henning, W. H. Buchanan and Samuel Gonzales.
     Orange Township - David T. Watt, Luther Pearch and John Sneary.   

KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE..

     This was a secret society formed by those in the United States who bitterly opposed the abolition of slaves.  While the principles of this diabolical society dated as far back as 1834, it was not called by this name until 1854-55 and it had great influence in the Charleston and Baltimore political conventions.  The Breckenridge vote in Carroll County and the membership of the Knights of the Golden Circle were about one and the same.  The organization was broken up here by Thomas L. Patton, who was commissioned by Governor Tod as a recruiting officer for the army.  He, although himself a Democrat, found that the Knights of the Golden Circle were discouraging volunteers and interfering with his business as a recruiting officer and proceeded to break up the 'Carroll County "Castles," as well as to check treasonable utterances, also to intercept disloyal printed mail matter going through the Carrollton postoffice.   We here quote from the well-known writer, Peter M. Herold, who says concerning this subject:
     "About this time a Sunday school picnic was being held in a grove east of Carrollton and Dr. Clement Vallandingham McMillen was one of the orators of the day, but the learned doctor had not gone far in his eloquent address until Lieutenant Patton took him by the throat and led him from the platform, and as the doctor afterwards said "abridged his freedom of speech."  Had not the crowd interfered, the doctor would have been placed under military arrest.
     During those years there were taken at the Carrollton postoffice several copies of the 'New York Day Book and Caucasian' which were not thought to be very loyal to the interests of the Union cause, so Patton proceeded to collect a list of the subscriber's names, keeping watch as to their future conduct and finally unearthed a county organization of the real Knights of the Golden Circle, which met at nights in an unoccupied house and in the grave-yard
     "Among the meeting places disturbed by Patton was a solemn conclave held by star light in the old Green Hill grave-yard, on a hill in the southwest section of Center Township.
      "One day as Gabriel Tope, of Moorehead Township was coming out of the Carrollton postoffice with a package of Days Books" for distribution among the subscribers in his neighborhood, Lieutenant Patton took the package of papers from Mr. Tope and cremated them upon the public square to the satisfaction of all, who felt indignant at the supposed disloyal sentiment which said papers contained.  Michael McGuire afterwards lived the Monroe township package of such papers from the postoffice undisturbed.  Those were the days when the war spirit ran high and many rash acts were committed under the guise of "loyalty."  Patton was afterwards elected a Justice of the Peace in Monroe Township on the Democratic ticket and said that Gabe Tope voted from him.
     "I have (in 1893) the names of thirty-seven members of the Carroll County Knights of the Golden Circle, divided among the townships as follows:  Lee, 5; East, 1; Perry, 1; Union, 1; Center, 9; Brown, 3; Monroe, 6; Orange, 1; Fox, 2; Harrison, 5; Rose, 3; and in confirmation of the fact that at least three of them were members of the order, two soldiers of the Eleventh Regiment of Ohio Volunteers told me that they saw these three names printed on grain sacks that were captured from the rebels after the battle of Chickamauga, Georgia, Sept. 19, and 20, 1863, together with the following letter dated September, 1860:"
     Corresponding Secretary, Jefferson Castle, K. G. C. -
     Dear Sir - I have taken the pains to count noses in this district, especially in this county, and I can set you down, at the least calculation, 2,000 fighting men, who will at a moment's notice in case of need, march to the standard of the Southern Rights; and it is highly probable that the whole of Indiana, south of the National road, will sucede and unite its fortunes with the South when Lincoln is elected.
                                                                                             Ever yours,            W.

THE "FIGHTING McCOOKS"

     The Ohio McCooks acquired a wide-spread reputation during the Civil war as the "fighting McCooks."  There were two families embraced in the McCooks of this county - one line springing from Major Daniel McCook (head of the Tribe of Dan) and the other line from Dr. John McCook.  Of the former family there were engaged in military service the father, Major Daniel McCook, surgeon Latimer A. McCook, Gen. George W. McCook, Major-Gen. Robert L. McCook, Major-Gen. A McDowell McCook, Gen. Daniel McCook, Jr., Major-Gen. Edwin Stanton McCook, private Charles Morris McCook, Col. John J. McCook - ten in all.  Another son, Midshipman J. James McCook, died in the naval service before the Civil War.
     Of the other branch of this family, the offspring of Dr. John McCook, there were five in military service.  These were Major-Gen. Edward M. McCook, Gen. Anson McCook, Chaplain Henry C. McCook, Commander Roderick S. McCook, U. S. N. and Lieut. John J. McCook.
    
This makes a total in the two families of fifteen, every son of both families commissioned officers except Charles, who was killed in the first battle of Bull Run, and who declined a commission preferring rather to be a private soldier.
     It would take a large volume to relate the full history of the career of these McCook men during the Rebellion from 1861 to 1866.  No braver and manly men ever donned the United States military uniform.

THE WORLD WAR - 1914-18

     The greatest strife which the world ever saw in way of a war was that brought on by the nations of Europe in 1914 and which in 1917 the United States was drawn into as a matter of humanity and national duty.  The causes that led up to that conflict - their name is Legion - will be placed in a summary form in the military chapter of the Harrison County division of this work.  It is a comprehensive, chronological statement which only needs to be referred to in order to enlighten the reader of this division of this county work, as to why they were called upon to send so many men over seas" in 1917-18.  (See Harrison County Division of this work)
     Having now laid the ground work - the reader will now see how necessary it became that the United States send her quota of soldiers to assist their European allies in destroying the diabolical work of the once powerful and proud German Empire.  In common with the once powerful and proud German Empire.  In common with other counties of Ohio Carroll had to organize its War Board to look after the selection of soldiers suitable to become soldiers.  The selection (wisely made) consisted of William F. Specht, of the village of Watheys, chairman; Dr. B. B. Buck, of Carrollton, Ross A. McLaughlin (a short time) and succeeded by L. T. Simpson, Carrollton.
     Postmaster Lawler
, Carrollton, had charge of the sale of the War Savings stamps, while the Liberty and Victory Loans for the county were in charge of committees of which Thomas H. Saltsman, Carrollton, was chairman.
     When the glad day arrived and the Armistice had been proclaimed a fact, the footings were compiled and it was found that Carroll County had purchased over one million dollars worth of War Bonds, within the trade radius of Carrollton, while many of the villages and trading centers situated along the lines between Carroll and adjacent counties had bought probably as much more in amount, but which, in the nature of things could not be credited to this county.  It mattered not for in each and every "Drive" for bond sales Carroll County went "over the top."  As an example of how freely these patriotic people gave their quotas the reader is referred to the following township list of the Fourth Drive (October, 1918) when the county went $36,200 more than her quota called for.

     To show that this liberality was duly appreciated by the common-wealth it only need be deserved that a tablet was placed in the corridor of the courthouse which has this inscription cast in bold relief letters:  (It is 12 by 16 inches square.)

"In recognition of the patriotism of the
People of Carroll County who over-sub-
scribed their War Savings quota in
1918, this Tablet is gratefully
erected by the Ohio War
Savings Committee."

PEACE DEMONSTRATIONS.

     Throughout Carroll County the news of the armistice was hailed with great delight and demonstrations were had here and there in the various village.  At Malvern, at the first, or false alarm (before the signing had actually been decided upon), the demonstration was indeed great for so small a village.  A fine program was carried out and the street parade was a fine display of what a patriotic people can do when thus wrought up over signal victory.  In the parade was the Italian band from Dover, two drum corps, the school children, the employes of the several large brick-making plants, girls represented Red Cross nurses, etc.  The line included horsemen and footmen - men, women and children.  Flags were in evidence by the various societies and bodies of those of the parade.

AT CARROLLTON

     At the county seat the demonstrations both at the false and actual alarm - the final intelligence that the armistice had really been consummated - was of great interest and excitement.  News reached the place at four-thirty in the morning and soon all were out of bed and preparing for the day of their lives" as might truly be said for such a war and such an ending the world has never seen before and all pray that it may never see such a conflict again.  There was no attempt at any formal demonstration that day, that was to come later.  Before six o'clock in the morning a procession had formed and was on the march.  At every street crossing the parade was swelled in numbers.  Nearly everyone had a flag, some had drums, others horns and some carried tin-pans which were pounded incessantly, but was as remarked by the Free Press "their music was divine."
     Men and women on their way to work turned aside from their path of duty and joined in the victory march.  Banners soon began to appear in the line - "What's the Matter with Pershing?"  "It's Over There,  Keep the Home Fires Burning,"  "Uncle Sam Turned the Trick,"  "Pottsdam on the Bum,"  and a "Good Job Well Done," were some of the inscriptions seen on the flying banners quickly improvised.  The factory flags were taken from their poles and carried by a cordon of hands.  The Country Service Flag, bearing a star for each Carroll County soldier who helped vanquish the enemy, was carried by loving hands.  Up and down the street they went shouting the battle cry of freedom.  Some fell by the wayside from mere exhaustion, but still the ranks multiplied.  Finally after two and a half hours marching the impromptu parade surged into Central Park where cheers were given for the downfall of Kaiserism - and the joyful celebrants went home to breakfast.
     As early as six a. m. business men commenced to plan for a genuine monstrous celebration in the evening.  P. H. Kemerer was chosen president.  Mayor J. B. Fiedler and John Stewart, were elected to handle the parade, while committees were appointed as follows:  Augusta Township, Judge John H. Fimple; Brown Township, Robert Brothers; Fox Township, Mervin Marshall; Harrison and Monroe Townships, Bert Lowe; Perry Township with Union, C. A. Tope; Orange, J. M. Price; Washington Township, Chalmers Figley; Loudon Township, George S. Tinline; Lee Township, G. C. Rankin.
    
The school children section under Professors Bell and Wagner and C. E. Thomas.
    
Bands and Drum Corps, Ira S. Moody.  Each of the Pottery Companies and the Rubber Works plant had representatives on the committees.
     The day was spent all over town in decorating its houses.  Business stood adjourned for the day.  Stores run out of flags till there was no more flags or bunting within the village to sell or give out.
     At 6:15 in the evening the real parade began to move.  It was  reviewed by four thousand people around the public square and along East and West streets.  Near a hundred decorated automobiles were in line.  All was bustle and noise.  during the din and confusion Rev. K. J. Stewart, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, who had a son that was that very hour in France in the United States Expeditionary force, offered prayer.  Judge John H. Fimple made a telling speech.  He said: this is one of the three greatest day sin history  - the other two being the birth of Christ and the signing of the Declaration of Independence.  the false belief of Me and Got' has been destroyed and the arch enemy of democracy has been eliminated.  Radical racial prejudices have been wiped out and religious.  We are now looking forward to a common brotherhood of man and a United Church of God.

COUNTY DRAFT BOARD COMPLIMENTED

Executive Mansion, December 11, 1918.                        

Members Carroll County Draft Board,
     Sirs: - Direction having come from the Provost Marshall General, for the discontinuance of the war work of the selective service boards in the very near future, let me at this time take occasion to thank you for the service so capably and generously rendered by you.
     To express the appreciation of the nation and the State, as well as my personal gratitude, is the very least which can be done in recognition of your services in the cause which is being brought to a glorious end.
     Your share in the work was a noble one, you have given your time and ability and which brings to you real honor.  I am only hopeful that some way may be found for giving you more recognition, but in the meantime I ask you to accept this note of thanks.
     We in Ohio are proud of the record made in the work of the draft which has been completed without a tinge of selfishness or hint of scandal in any quarter.
     Again extending to you our heartfelt thanks and with every good wish, I am, very truly yours.
                                                                                                                                    James M. Cox,  Governor.
