History of
123rd OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY
From the Beginning of the war in 1861 to its close in 1865.
(Compiled and Written by J. A. Chase, Toledo, Ohio, 1881)
 
     The foregoing rosters are correct copies of the original Muster-In-Rolls of the various companies.
     As a matter of course they do not show the recruits who came to the regiment in 1863 and 1864.  Their names, however, will appear in the chapter devoted to the "muster-out."  Nearly two hundred recruits came to the regiment to fill its depleted ranks, and many of them were the very best of soldiers.
     The following is a copy of the original Muster-in-Roll of the

     Only three of whom, Col. W. T. Wilson, Assistant Surgeon W. B. Hyatt and Quarter Master Edwin H. Brown, served through with the regiment until the close of the war soon after the regiment went to the field Assistant Surgeon J. H. Williams resigned during the Summer of 1863.
     Lieutenant Colonel Henry B. Hunter served in the Valley Campaign of 1863, was captured at Winchester June 15th, remained in prison about ten months, which so broke down his health that soon after he was exchanged, not being fit for duty in the field, he tendered his resignation, and was mustered out of the service.  Surgeon Orrin Ferris served with the regiment until the close of the campaign of 1864, when, with shattered constitution, and sadly impaired health, much against his own inclination and the wishes of the entire regiment, his resignation was tendered and accepted.
