The following was furnished by S. J. Hathaway, Esq.,
the compiler of this Roll of Honor, and belongs here because
most of the men in this Company were from Belpre.
THE BELPRE GUARDS.
At the beginning of the War of the Rebellion, President
Lincoln called for seventy-five thousand men as it was
thought at the time, April, 1861, that this would be a
sufficient number to put down the rebellion. At the
earnest solicitation of Governor Dennison of Ohio,
General Geo. B. McClellan was sent with his army into
West Vir-
[Page

ginia, then Old Virginia, and ordered to push on towards
the mountains and drive the rebel army back beyond that barrier,
for Governor Dennison saw if this was not done
early in the war that the Ohio River was likely to become the
border line between the contending forces.
Under these conditions McClellan began his
campaign into Virginia early in the Spring of 1861. It was
the first military movement of the war. He had not more
than got started on his campaign before the urgent need of more
troops was upon him. His lien of communications was poorly
guarded, and beyond the Ohio River in Ohio the railroads were at
the mercy of raiding parties from Virginia.
Governor Dennison thereupon called for
Ohio troops to volunteer their services for this important duty
and many companies volunteered. Accordingly on June 23rd,
1861, the Adjutant General of Ohio issued the order for the
movement of Ohio militia and ten companies were placed along the
B. & O. which was at that time known as the Marietta &
Cincinnati Railroad. Four of these companies were from
Washington County as follows: Co. D First Regt. Ohio Volunteer
Militia, Capt. Wm. B. Mason, The Fireman
Zouaves, Captain S. F. Shaw, both companies
from Marietta, the Harmar Company, Captain Joseph B.
Daniels, and the Belpre Guards, Captain Frank
H. Loring of Belpre, this county. They served on
this guard duty for about three months as above stated and
deserve to be honored and remembered, because they did faithful
and important service and their names are not included in the
Ohio Roster of troops for the reason that none but those who
were sworn into the U. S. service are included in that
publication and we take pleasure in giving the names of
Captain Lorings Company here, as included in History of
Washington County, from which this list is copied.
