was ordered to Zanesville, where one company was added, and then to Camp Dennison, where a company was recruited, and the organization of nine companies was mustered in under Colonel James A. Wilcox.  Two Jerome Township soldiers served in this regiment and William Sinsel died in the service.
     Colonel Wilcox resigned April 29th, 1863, and Lieutenant Colonel John G. Mitchell was promoted to Colonel and commanded the brigade in some of the hardest battles in which the regiment participated.  He was promoted to Brigadier-General January 12th, 1865.
     December 27th, 1862, the regiment was ordered to Louisville, Ky., and encamped there and at Maldraughs Hill until February, 1863.  The regiment was transported to Nashville from Louisville by river, and by reason of the lack of room and sanitary environments on the boats many of the men were taken sick, and on arrival at Nashville were in a serious condition.  The regiment was ordered to Franklin and assigned
to General Gilbert's Division, Army of the Cumberland; was on garrison duty at Franklin and Shelbyville during the spring and summer, worked on the fortifications, and was sent out on some scouting expeditions.
     The regiment was assigned to the Reserve Corps commanded by General Gordon Granger, and moved with General Rosecran's army across the mountains to Chattanooga.  In the last day's battle of Chickamauga, September 20th, 1863, the regiment, in General James Steadman's Division, arrived on the field at the most critical time, about 2 o'clock P. M., and reported to General George H. Thomas.  They were ordered to charge Longstreet's Veteran soldiers, who were flushed with victory as they were steadily pushing the thin and depleted lines of Thomas' army to the rear with terrible slaughter.  The regiment, with other regiments of the Division, made a fierce assault against the onrushing Confederate lines, checking and driving them from the ridge, but with a loss of almost fifty per cent in killed and wounded, numbering upward of one hundred and forty.  They held the line until the army was ordered to fall back, late in the evening.

     The regiment took an active part in all the campaigns around Chattanooga after the battle of Chickamauga, and marched to the relief of General Burnsides' army at Knoxville, after the battle of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge.  This was one of the hardest campaigns of their service, as the weather was bad and the men, being without sufficient clothing, suffered greatly.  Returning to Chattanooga just before Christmas, the regiment went into winter quarters near McAfee's Church, a few miles south of Chattanooga.  The regiment did some reconnoitering and scouting during the winter, but the duties were light, and the tenth company was organized, as up to this time there had been only nine.
     The regiment moved with General Sherman's army on the Atlanta campaign May 5th, and was heavily engaged in many of the hard battles of that campaign. In the battle of Kenesaw Mountain, fought June 2Tth. in which the 113th was in the advance line charging up against impregnable breastworks through Chiver-de-frese, the loss in the regiment was very heavy, being upward of 150 in killed and wounded.  After the fall of Atlanta the regiment marched with Sherman to the sea and the last battle in which they were engaged was Bentonville, N. C, March 19th, 1865.   They then marched to Washington and took part in the Grand Review.  The losses during the war in killed, died of wounds and disease were two hundred and sixty-nine. The regiment was mustered out at Louisville, Ky., July 6th, 1865.
