ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SIXTH
OHIO NATIONAL GUARD

(Hundred Days' Service)

     This regiment was organized at Camp Dennison on the fourth of May, 1864, by the consolidation of the Thirty-fourth regiment with the Eightieth and Eighty-first battalions Ohio National Guard.  The regiment was mustered into the United States service with an aggregate of eight hundred and sixty-four men.
     On the twentieth of May, companies A, B, C, D, E, F and H proceeded to Cincinnati, where they performed guard duty, companies G, I and K remaining at Camp Dennison on guard and patrol duty, until Morgan appeared in the vicinity of Cynthiana, Kentucky, when they were sent to Falmouth, in that State.  The seven companies remained on duty in Cincinnati until July 18th, when the entire regiment was brought together at Covington and moved to Paris, Kentucky.  The regiment was soon ordered to Cumberland, Maryland, to resist the rebel invasion, and, proceeding by way of Cincinnati and Parkersburgh, it reached that place on thee thirty-first of July, and when into camp on the hill southeast of the city.  On the first of August, at three through the town and out the Baltimore turnpike about three miles, near to Folch's Mills, where it met the enemy under Generals McCausland and Bradley Johnson.
     The One Hundred and Fifty-sixth, although exposed to a severe fire of artillery and musketry, maintained itself well, and sustained but slight loss.  The engagement began at four o'clock, P.M., and ceased at nine o'clock.  The regiment lay on its arms at night, but daylight showed that the enemy retreated.  General Kelley, in a letter to Colonel Marker, complimented the regiment upon the steadiness of its line, and on the accuracy with which it returned the fire of the enemy's sharp-shooters.
     After this engagement, the regiment remained on duty at and near Cumberland until the twenty-sixth of August, when it was ordered to Ohio for muster out.  It was mustered out at Camp Dennison on the first of September, 1864.
