ROSTER - Continued
wing reported for duty at Gen. Pope's
headquarters on the 26th, and after the engagement at
Centerville the left wing joined the right, having been
under fire but not engaged with the musketry in the battle
at this place.
On the 2d of September, the regiment was relieved from
duty at Gen. Pope's headquarters and joined its
brigade - the First - at Upton Hills. On the 7th, it
moved to Frederick City, Md., and on the 14th arrived at
South Mountain where a severe struggle with the enemy took
place, with a loss of eighteen men killed and forty-eight
wounded. In this engagement Company E suffered most
severely, having one killed and six wounded.
In the battle at Antietam, the Thirtieth, lacking
proper support, was thrown into slight confusion and
compelled to fall back. It lost three officers killed
and two wounded, eight men killed and thirty-seven wounded.
The National colors were torn in fourteen places by the
enemy's balls, and two color-bearers, Sergs. Saxie Carter
and Nathan J. White, fell dead on the field. A
stand of colors was rescued on this occasion by David
McKim, of Company E.
On the 10th of October, the Thirtieth moved into West
Virginia, and on the 13th of November went into camp near
Cannelton. A few weeks later, it started on a
march into Logan County, returning with seventeen prisoners
and seventy-five horses. In January, 1863, it moved
down the Ohio and Mississippi to join Gen. Grant's
army, and on arriving at Helena, Ark., was assigned to
the Third Brigade, Second division of the Fifteenth Army
Corps. On the 21st it landed at Youngs Point, and for
a few weeks worked on the canal at that place. In
March it moved to the relief of some gunboat in Steel's
Bayou, returning to Young's Point on the 28th.
On the 29th of April, the regiment embarked on the R.
B. Hamilton, and with other troops engaged in a
demonstration on Haines' Bluffs. In May, it joined in
the movement upon Vicksburg, and from the 20th until the
surrender of this stronghold the regiment was constantly
engaged either in fatigue and picket duty or in assaulting
the enemy's works. The loss of the Thirtieth during
the siege was one commissioned officer killed and six
wounded, six men killed and forty-eight wounded. After
the surrender of Vicksburg, the regiment pursued Johnson to
Jackson, and upon the evacuation of that place returned and
sent into camp at Black River.
On the 26th of September, it moved with Sherman
via Memphis to Chattanooga, and on the 25th of October
participated in the assault upon Mission Ridge, losing
thirty-nine men killed and wounded.
In November, the Thirtieth followed in pursuit of the
retreating rebels, returning to Bridgeport, Ala., on the
19th of December; during this time the men were compelled to
subsist off the country with the exception of two days'
rations issued on the 29th day of November.
In January, 1864, the regiment re-enlisted, and after
the furlough home joined Sherman's forces at
Kingston, Ga., on the 20th of May. On the 23d, it
started on the march through Dallas and Acworth, and on the
19th of June arrived at the foot of Kenesaw Mountain; during
this march, the 30th was almost continuously under fire.
It took an active part in the battle on the 26th, losing
thirty-five men killed and wounded. On July 2, the
regiment moved toward Atlanta, and on the 22d was attacked
and thrown into some confusion at first, but soon rallied
and succeeded in repulsing the enemy, not, however, without
considerable loss. On the 28th, the regiment gallantly
stood its ground and resisted four successive attacks of the
enemy, losing thirty men killed and wounded. Under its
fire, the foe forsook a stand of colors; and in its
immediate front 105 dead rebels were found.
The Thirtieth was transferred to the First Brigade on
the 5th of August, and on the 29th the non-veterans were
mustered out. On the 31st, the rebels attacked the
line of the First Brigade, but were repulsed, the Thirtieth
losing in this encounter twenty-five men killed and wounded.
On the 2d of September, Jonesboro was evacuated by the
enemy, the regiment pursuing them to Lovejoy's Station.
After spending several weeks in camp at East Point, the
Thirtieth followed in the pursuit of Hood's army into
Alabama, returned to Atlanta, then marched to Fort
McAllister and took part in the successful assault on that
place.
After the fall of Savannah, the regiment passed through
the Carolinas, having a sharp engagement with Johnson
at Bentonville, and frequent skirmishes with the enemy.
It arrived at Goldsboro Mar. 24, 1865; then proceeded to
Raleigh on the 14th of April, and aided in the capture of
Johnson's army.
The Thirtieth marched to Washington via Richmond, and
after passing in review, moved to Louisville, Ky., and
thence to Little Rock, Ark. Here the regiment remained
in camp until mustered out Aug. 21, 1865, having
participated in twenty different engagements, and having its
colors shot in almost every battle.
Company E lost, while in the field, ten killed, fifteen
wounded, and twenty-eight died of disease contracted in the
service.

THIRTY-FIRST OHIO INFANTRY.
The Thirty-first Ohio
Infantry was organized at Camp Chase, in August, 1861, under
Col. Moses B. Walker.
Company F, of this regiment, was recruited in Union
County, and mustered into the service with A. J. Sterling as
Captain; J. A. Cahill, First Lieutenant; John Hartshorn,
Second Lieutenant, and J. J. Miller, First Sergeant.
Of the one hundred and fifteen men from this county who
served in Company F, twenty-four died on the field and in
the hospitals, twenty-eight were wounded, and five were
taken prisoners. Several other companies of this
regiment also contained representatives from Union County.
About the 1st of October, the Thirty-first crossed the
Ohio River and entered Kentucky, where it was disciplined,
drilled, and prepared for the duties of the field. In
January, 1862, it marched to the assistance of Gen.
Thomas, and took part in the battle of Mill Springs,
after which it was assigned to the First Brigade, First
Division, Army of the Ohio.
It joined Buell's army at Nashville, moved to
Pittsburg Landing, then took part in the siege of Corinth.
In June, it moved upon Iuka, and, after its capture,
proceeded toward Tuscumbia. The Thirty-first continued
to operate in Tennessee until Buell's campaign in
Kentucky opened, when it participated in that terrible
march from Battle Creek to Louisville, and was present at
the battle of Perryville, Ky. In November, the
regiment, wore the "Blue Acorn" - signifying the Third
Division, Fourteenth army Corps - until mustered out.
In the battle of Stone River, this regiment occupied
the right center, and was in the brigade that turned the
rebel lines at Hoover's Gap. Moving through Tullahoma
to Chattanooga, it was next engaged at Chickamauga, on the
19th and 20th of September, and held a position on Snodgrass
Hill, in that portion of the army commanded by Gen.
Thomas in person. In this battle, Company F lost
P. L. Seaman, D. M. Cahill and Elmer Danforth,
killed; Harrison Hosack and R. S. Rea,
mortally wounded; Capt A. J. Sterling, H. S. Colver, J.
N. W. Simmons, J. H. Thompson, Winfield Winters, R.
Williams, L. B. Glenn, D. J. Cheney and B. Tucker
wounded, and N. F. Swank taken prisoner - twenty-one
out of the forty-three who answered to roll-call on the
morning of the 19th.
The regiment was next engaged at Brown's Ferry, then
followed the battle of Mission Ridge, where the colors of
the Thirty-first were the first to wave on the enemy's
works. It was specially complimented by General
Thomas for its gallant service on this occasion.
In January, 1864, the Thirty-first re-enlisted, and on
the expiration of veteran furlough, joined Shermans
army at Ringgold, and was in the front line from Chattanooga
to Atlanta, sustaining heavy losses at Resaca, Kenesaw
Mountain, Peach Tree Creek and Sand Town Road. Company
F lost in this campaign Capt. James A. Cahill, W.
W. McKee, William Williams, J. H. Chapman and John
Smith, killed; William Knox and S. T. Merritt,
mortally wounded, and J. Harriman, E. Clark, S.
McNeil, W. M. Blake, E. Brown, M. Blue, T. H. Chapman, H. E.
W. Fields, H. T. Shirk, D. J. Phelps and E. Lister,
wounded.
This regiment was in the left wing of Sherman's
army "while marching through Georgia;" then moving from
Savannah through the Carolinas, was in the battle of
Bentonville, and near Raleigh at the time of Johnston's
surrender; marched to Washington City and took part in the
grand review on the 25th of May, 165.
The Thirty-first was mustered out at Louisville, Ky.,
July 20, and discharged at Columbus, Ohio, on teh 26th of
July 1865, proud to have belonged to the Army of the
Cumberland, commanded by George H. Thomas, and of its
faded "battle flag," all tattered and torn, which it had
carried over the hills of Western Kentucky, against
Morgan and Wheeler, across the State of Tennessee
to the field of Shiloh and the siege of Corinth, on Buell's
march to Louisville, Ky. Then upon the fields of
Perryville, Harrodsburg, Cage Ford, Lavergne, Stone River,
Triune, Hoover's Gap, Tullahoma, McMinnville and
Chickamauga, where eight of its brave defenders were shot
down while bearing the old flag aloft; again at Brown's
Ferry and Mission Ridge - where two more of its bearers fell
- home on veteran furlough, then into the battles of Tunnel
Hill, Rocky Face Gap and Resaca.
The banner was "rent with seam and gash." having been pierced
by eighty-nine bullets, and the staff by ten more.

THIRTY-SECOND OHIO INFANTRY.
The Thirty-second
Ohio Infantry was organized during the summer of 1861, under
Col. T. C. Ford, and was one of the first regiments
to answer the call of the President for three years'
service.
Company B, of this regiment, was recruited in Union and
Champaign Counties, and was mustered into the service at
Camp Chase, Aug. 9, 1861, with the following commissioned
officers: W. A. Palmer, Captain; A. B.
Parmeter, First Lieutenant, and J. B. Whelpley,
Second Lieutenant. It then joined the regiment at Camp
Bartley, near Mansfield. Besides Company B, Companies
C, D, E, F, G, H, and K also contained men from Union
County.
After remaining a short time at Camp Bartley, the
regiment was transferred to Camp Dennison, where it was
equipped, armed and ordered to the front, joining the Union
forces at Cheat Mountain Summit, West Virginia, on the 3d of
October. In December, it accompanied Gen. Milroy in
the movement upon Camp Allegheny, losing on this occasion
four killed and fourteen wounded. After this
expedition, the regiment spent the winter in camp at
Beverly, and in the spring of 1862 took part in the actions
against Camp Alleghany, Huntsville and McDowell. In
the engagement at Bull Pasture Mountain, on the 8th of May,
when the Union army fell back to Franklin closely followed
by the enemy, the Thirty-second was the last regiment to
leave the field, and lost on this occasion six killed and
fifty-three wounded. While at Franklin, it was
transferred to Gen. Schenck's brigade, and was
with Gen. Fremont in the Shenandoah Valley, and shared in
the engagements at Cross Keys and Port Republic on the 8th
and 9th of June. Returning up the valley, it remained
at Winchester, Va., until September 1, then moved to
Harper's Ferry, losing 150 men in the engagement on the
14th. Of Company B, J. E. Webb was killed;
L. A. McIntosh, D. Rose and J. D. Webster,
mortally wounded, and T. J. Conner and J. B.
Russell, wounded. Capt. Palmer having
resigned, the command of the company devolved upon Lieut.
George Sinclair, who was promoted to Captain on the 22d
of December.
In January, 1863, the regiment was ordered South,
joined the army at Memphis, Tenn., and was assigned to
Logan's division, Seventeenth Army Corps, and was with
the army under Grant in his advance in the rear of
Vicksburg, taking part in the action at Port Gibson and in
the battles of Raymond, Jackson and Champion Hills. In
the last named engagement, it made a bayonet charge, and
captured the First Mississippi Rebel Battery. For this
feat of gallantry, the battery was turned over to Company F,
of this regiment, which became the Twenty-sixth Ohio
Battery.
In the assault upon Vicksburg, in May, 1863, the
regiment was in the front line of the forces operating
against that rebel stronghold, and it, with the Fourth
division, Seventeenth Corps, Gen. J. A. Logan
commanding, was detailed to take possession at the
surrender.
The Thirty-second lost in this campaign and siege 225
men. In July, 1863, the regiment moved with Stevenson
to Monroe, La., and in October accompanied McPherson to
Brownsville, Miss. In February, 1864, it operated
under Sherman at Meridian, then returned to
Vicksburg, re-enlisted, and, after the furlough home, joined
Sherman's army at Acworth, Ga., on the 10th of
June. It was in the assault on Kenesaw Mountain, on
the 27th of June, and at Nicojack Creek on the 10th of July.
In the fighting around Atlanta on the 20th, 21st, 22d and
28th, the Thirty-second took an active part, losing more
than half its numbers. Of Company B, J, K, Peters,
Jacob Fritz, W. B. Mitchell, and J. W. Shirk were
killed; S. H. Blake and S. Emery, mortally
wounded; John Wiley, D. McCloud, R. Columber, C. P.
Robinson and M. Sullivan, wounded, and T. C.
McDowell, E. C. McMullen, G. F. Peters, William Flago
and Gideon Stork, taken prisoners.
Pg. 46. -
After the fall of Atlanta, the regiment joined in the
pursuit of Hood, marched with Sherman to the
sea, and through the Carolinas, and on the 20th and 21st of
March, 1865, took part in the engagement at Bentonville,
then moved with the national forces to Raleigh, and was
present at Johnston's surrender. Marched through
Richmond to Washington, and took part in the grand review
before the President and his Cainet. After which, it
moved to Louisville, Ky., was mustered out of the service
July 20, then proceeded to Columbus, Ohio, where the men
received their final discharge on the 25th day of July,
1865.
It is claimed that the Thirty-second Regiment lost and
received more men than any other from Ohio. Company B
entered the field in September, 1861, 108 strong, and during
the war received sixty-eight recruits, making the total
number of enlistments 176. The company lost while in
the field ten killed and died of wounds, eleven wounded
seventeen died of disease, and seven taken prisoners.
Russell B. Bennett, Chaplain of the
Thirty-second, was known in the Seventeenth Army Corps as
the "fighting Chaplain." He first enlisted in the
regiment as a private, and was a good and brave soldier in
the ranks. When Chaplain Nickerson resigned and
left the service, Bennett was promoted to the
Chaplaincy of the regiment.
He not only believed in the efficacy of prayer, but
also believed in the efficacy of shot and shell, and,
instead of remaining in the rear during an engagement, he
was always up in the front line, not only to minister to the
wounded and dying, but, with gun in hand, took his place in
the ranks and encouraged the soldiers by his coolness and
bravery.
Of the many instances in which he rendered good
services during a battle, we give one as related by the boys
of the regiment.
On the day the brave and gallant McPherson fell,
July 22, 1864, the Seventeenth Corps was hotly engaged.
The Thirty-second Regiment was flanked on all sides, and was
compelled to charge front several times, not knowing in what
direction to next look for the enemy.
At one time, during a few moments' lull in the battle,
the Thirty-second was lying down in the edge of a corn-field
waiting for the next attack, the Chaplain, cautioning the
boys to lie very still, and protect themselves at best they
could, advanced into the corn-field to make a reconnoissance,
and, mounting a stump some forty or fifty yards in front of
the line, discovered the battle line of the enemy rapidly
advancing, and, moving back to his regiment, passed the word
along the line that the enemy were close upon them; then,
taking the musket of William B. Mitchell, of Company
B - brother to John and James Mitchell, of
Marysville - he fired on the advancing line, Mitchell,
lying upon the ground, would rapidly re-load the gun, and
again Bennett would fire, and all the time exhorting
the boys to "lie low" until the enemy were close upon them,
then to "fire low."
All this time he stood erect, not seeming to have any
thought of his own safety, but only solicitous for the
soldiers of the regiment, whom he loved dearly.
Mitchell was killed as he lay on the ground, and, his
body falling into the hands of the enemy, was never
recovered. Bennett was universally respected
and loved by all the officers and soldiers of the regiment,
and to-day the boys all have a good word for Chaplain
Bennett.

FORTIETH OHIO INFANTRY.
The Fortieth Ohio
was organized Dec. 7, 1861, under Col. Jonathan Cranor,
and on the 11th was ordered to Kentucky.
In January, 1862, it took an active part in the battle
of Middle Creek; then went into camp at Paintville. It
operated in Kentucky and Virginia until February, 1863, when
it moved to Nashville, Tenn., and was assigned to the First
Brigade, First Division, Reserve Corps, then at Franklin.
While at this place, the Fortieth repulsed an attack
made by Van Dorn with a larage mounted force.
On the 2d of June, it moved to Triune, and on the 23d joined
Rosecrans' army in the movement upon Shelbyville,
Wartrace and Tullahoma. It remained at Wartrace and
Tullahoma until September 7, when it moved forward in the
advance on Chattanooga, and took an active part in the
battle of Chickamauga, sustaining a severe loss. Soon
after this engagement, the regiment went into camp at
Shellmound, where four of its companies re-enlisted.
In the battle of Lookout Mountain, November 24, the Fortieth
took a prominent part. In January, 1864, it went into
camp near Cleveland, in May entered upon the Atlanta
campaign, participating in nearly all the battles through to
the end.
At Pine Knob, Georgia, on the 7th October, Companies A.
B, C and D were mustered out, and the remainder of the
regiment moved with the Fourth Corps, sharing in the pursuit
of Hood, and in the retreat before Hood from Pulaski.
In December, 1864, at Nashville, Tenn., the non-veterans
were mustered out, and the veterans consolidated with the
Fifty-first Ohio Infantry. The combined regiment was
then transferred with the Fourth Corps to Texas, where it
performed guard duty until mustered out Dec. 3, 1865.
About forty men from Union County were members of Company D
of this regiment, of whom four were killed, six died in the
hospital, two were drowned, and three were wounded.
Surgeon John N. Beach, in a paper read at a
regimental re-union held at Greenville, Ohio, Sept. 20,,
1882, makes special mention of the coolness and
bravery of the soldiers of the Fortieth Ohio on all
occasions, and among others gives the following
illustration:
"George Sager (son of Michael Sager, of
Unionville, Ohio), of Company D, a rosycheeked, almost
beardless boy, who had been carefully and tenderly raised,
came to me on Sunday afternoon of the battle of Chickamauga,
bringing with him a comrade who had a ghastly wound in the
face, which to George seemed necessarily fatal.
On my assuring him that his comrade, Hiram Douglass,
was not fatally wounded, he looked around a few minutes at
the great numbers of wounded then collected in the ravine,
where we had established a depot for wounded, and finally
asked me if he could not be of service to me there. I
told him that he could, but I thought he was more needed in
the front. Without a word, he took up his gun and went
back into the thickest of the fight, escaping that day only
to meet his death at Kenesaw the following June. There
were circumstances attending his death that so plainly spoke
of the highest qualities of the soldier, that I think them
worth recording. He was shot on the night of the 20th
of June, 1864, the bullet passing entirely through the
chest, and, lodging in his Bible carried in his knapsack,
stopping just as it had perforated a letter that day
received from his sister. When brought to me, he had a
clear idea of the nature of the wound, and wished to know
how long he could live. Giving him all the
encouragement possible, I left him for the night in the care
of friends, and went to other duties. The next
evening, the end was so plainly approaching, that I told him
the facts, asking what word I should write home.
"Without the slightest manifestation of alarm, or
regret, or fear, he gave me instructions, desiring me to say
to his parents that he did not regret coming into the
service, that he came to take his chances with other
soldiers, that he was willing to die, that his life was of
no more value than that of hundreds of others who had been
killed in the last few weeks, and asked me to send the
Bible, with the fatal bullet undisturbed, to his sister.
"And thus he died, without regret, as I have seen many
other soldiers die, whose future, if they had lived, seemed
full of promise.

encountering the enemy at Freeman's Ford, Sulphur Springs
and Waterloo Bridge, and in the battle of Bull Run, where it
lost twenty-five men killed and wounded.
The regiment took an active part in the engagement at

This was the commencement of the Atlanta campaign. In
this campaign the Sixty-first was brigaded with the Third
Brigade, First Division of the Twentieth Corps, under
Maj. Gen. Hooker, and participated in the battles of
Resaca, Cassville, Dallas, Kingston, Lost Mountain, Kenesaw
Mountain, crossing of the Chattahoochie and Peach Tree
Creek. It moved with Sherman's army to the sea, then
marched through the swamps of South Carolina, and after the
battle of Bentonville, moved to Goldsboro, N. C., where it
was consolidated with the Eighty-second Ohio. This act
blotted from the rolls of the army the name of the
Sixty-first Ohio, but its deeds remain on record. It
was always a reliable regiment, and was ever found where
duty called it. Its losses by the casualties of the
field were so numerous that at the close of its service a
little band of about sixty officers and men remained to
answer to its last roll-call. The consolidated
regiment, now the Eighty-second, marched to Washington, took
part in the grand review, then moved to Columbus, Ohio, and
was mustered out Sept. 1, 1865.

and wounded of the 200 men in arms. Its battle flag
had one shell and nineteen bullet holes made through it, and
one Sergeant and five Corporals were shot down in succession
while carrying it. The regiment was again actively
engaged at Antietam on teh 17th and 18th of September.
On the 27th of December, 1862, Gen. Stewart with
2,000 rebe cavalry made an attack on Dumfries, a
small town garrisoned by the Fifty seventh and Sixty-sixth

Sixty-sixth pursued Lee to the Rappahannock; and in
August, 1863, proceeded to New York to enforce the draft.
In September, it was transferred to the Army of the

up a continuous musketry with the enemy. On the 15th
of June, the regiment led the advance on Pine Mountain, and
in the battles of Kenesaw, Marietta and Peach Tree Creek
fought with conspicuous gallantry. After the capture
of Atlanta, the Sixty-sixth remained on duty in that city
until Sherman started on his "march to the sea."

on to Washington, passing over the old battle-field of
Chancellorville, thus making the entire circuit of the
Southern States.

Ohio, July 19, 1865, after serving in twelve States,
marching over 11,000 miles, and participating in nineteen
battles, with a loss of 112 killed, and about 350 wounded.
