immediately thereafter at Coshocton, Ohio, where he is still
actively engaged in the practice of law. He was one of
the first men of volunteer from Coshocton county in the
three months' service, in the war of 1861; perhaps was the
first signer of the volunteer roll from Coshocton county,
his company (Company A) going out with the Sixteenth Ohio
Volunteer Infantry, serving through the term of enlistment
in the campaign of West Virginia. After the muster out
of the three months' men, Captain Voorhes re-enlisted

of Pittsburgh Landing, siege of Corinth, Perrysville and
Stone river. He was severely wounded in the latter
engagement, on the 31st day of December, 1862, while engaged
in the thickest of the fight. Being disabled from
active service by reason of his wound, he was afterward
transferred to the veteran reserve corps, and commissioned,
by the president of the United States, a captain in said
corps, which position he held until Nov. 18, 1865, when he
resigned and returned to his home at Coshocton, Ohio, where
he has resided ever since, engaged in the practice of the
law. He was married on the 27th day of November, 1862,
to Miss Geogianna, daughter of Washington and
