Company G was mustered into the
United States service at Camp Buckingham, Mansfield, Ohio, November 30,
1865.
The mortality list was not included in the roll, and,
hence, cannot appear here. It is certain, however, that the company
performed arduous duty in the far South, and was considerable dimished by
disease and death before its discharge. THE
SIXTY-FIFTH REGIMENT.
Captain Orlow Smith was promoted to lieutenant colonel, Oct. 10, 1865,
and to colonel, Nov. 24, 1865.
The Sixty-fifth was employed some months, in 1862, in
Kentucky, repairing and guarding roads, and then marched into Tennessee to
Columbia, and thence to Savannah, Georgia, and from thence to Pittsburgh
Landing, and participated in that battle. It next moved to Corinth,
and was at the siege, and returned to Louisville, Kentucky. It was
ordered to march toward Stone River, and was in the battle of Dec. 29,
1862. In June, 1863, it was ordered to Chattanooga, and participated
in that battle. The Sixty-fifth passed on to Mission Ridge, and took
part in that engagement. Then came the Atlanta campaign - the affair
at Lookout Mountain, Resaca, Dallas, Marietta, Kenesaw, Peachtree Creek,
and Jonesborough, in which the Sixty-fifth took a part. On the
twenty-ninth of November, it was in the battle of Springifield; on the
thirtieth, in the battle of Franklin, and afterwards, in the battle of
Nashville. In June, 1865, the regiment was ordered to Texas, and
remained at San Antonio until December, and was ordered to Camp Chase,
Ohio, where it was mustered out January 2, 1866. The Sixty-fifth
came out of the service scarred veterans.
