                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.
