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.
