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.

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. Mitchell.
Young 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.

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.
