On the 25th of August, 1862, the Twentieth Infantry was mustered in the service. There was not strictly a Clinton County organization in although many men from the county enlisted in its ranks, the regiment bei raised in Scott and Linn Counties. Among the officers were Surgeon A. Blanding, Lyons; First Lieut. B. F. Jordan, Wapsie, Co. F; Second Lier Frederick E. Starck, Clinton, in Company G.

HISTORY OF CLINTON COUNTY.
A number of men from this county were also in Company A, Twenty-fourth Infantry, which was raised in Linn, Scott, Cedar, Jackson and Jones Counties. The officers of Company A were : Captain, S. H. Henderson, Sabula; First Lieutenant, Charles Davis, Deep Creek ; Second Lieutenant, George W. Davis, Deep Creek. This company was mustered in September 18, 1862.
From this brief record, we find that ten companies wholly or in part com- posed of Clinton County men, had taken the field within about eighteen months from the first call for troops. The returns made by the enrolling officers September 13, 1862, give the total number of men between the military ages in the county as 4,741, with 720 exempt for cause, leaving the total military list liable to service in the county, 4,021; and the report further states that already 1,459 volunteers had taken the field, or nearly one-third of the able bodied men who were in the county when the enlistment began. Every township, city and hamlet had contributed to this army of patriotic defenders of their country.
Still the cry came for more men, and, though prolonged and disheartening campaigns had decimated and thrice decimated the ranks of those who had early rushed into the struggle, and the conflict grew vaster and the peril more deadly, the hearts of the people did not falter, and hundreds of brave men stood ready to refill the shattered ranks and take the places of their fallen friends and townsmen.
In 1862, it was determined to raise a full regiment in the county, to be known as the Clinton County Regiment. With already depleted numbers, it seemed as if this was a sacrifice beyond the ability of the people to bear. To do this was to call for the service of every third able-bodied man within the limits of the county. However, recruiting began at once, and, on the 30th of September, 1862, the Twenty-sixth Iowa Infantry was mustered into the ser- vice with full ranks. The roster of the field and staff officers was as follows : Colonel, Milo Smith, Clinton ; Lieutenant Colonel, Samuel G. Magill, Lyons; Major, Samuel Clark, De Witt; Surgeon, A. F. Hudson, Lyons ; Assistant Surgeon, William McQuigg, Lyons; Additional Assistant Surgeon, George F. Wetherell, Lyons; Chaplain, Rev. John McLeish, Clinton ; Quartermaster, Joseph H. Flint. Lyons.
.
Company A was composed largely of men from the northeastern townships of the county and the adjoining vicinity in Jackson County, and was recruited by and mustered into service under command of the following officers : Cap- tain, Sherman R. Williams, Lyons ; First Lieutenant, Asa Franklin, Lyons ; Second Lieutenant, A. D. Gaston, Lyons.
Company B was nearly all of it from Jackson County, having been recruited by and was mustered in by the following officers : Captain, James W. Eckles, Maquoketa ; First Lieutenant, Alva Wilson, Maquoketa ; Second Lieutenant, Thomas B. Harrison, Maquoketa.
Company C was largely from the city of Clinton. Its officers were: Cap- tain, George W. Johnson, Clinton ; First Lieutenant, Peter L. Hyde, Clinton ; Second Lieutenant, James McDill.
Company D was raised in De Witt, Washington and Waterford, and in its ranks were many Irish patriots who took arms in defense of their adopted country. Its officers were: Captain, Nathaniel A. Merrell, De Witt ; First Lieutenant, James H. Runyon, De Witt; Second Lieutenant, James F. Gil- more, De Witt.
Company E was a German Company, largely made up of citizens of Lyons, Elk River and Deep Creek. It was mustered in under command of: Captain,

John Lubbers, Lyons ; First Lieutenant, Edward Svendsen, Elk River ; Seco Lieutenant, Preban Hansen, Deep Creek.
Company F was raised in De Witt, Olive and Orange Townships princ pally. Its officers were : Captain, Joel B. Bishop, De Witt ; First Lieutenar William R. Ward, De Witt ; Second Lieutenant, Silas Freeman, De Witt.
Company G. was an Irish company, and was recruited in and about Lyor `and from around the mouth of the Maquoketa. Its officers were: Captain, Jam H. Heavey, Lyons ; First Lieutenant, John Quinn, Lyons ; Second Lie tenant, Philip. MacCahill, Lyons.
Company H was recruited in the vicinity of De Witt. Its officers wer Captain, C. M. Nye, De Witt; First Lieutenant, James S. Patterson, De Wit Second Lieutenant, John Barrett, De Witt.
Company I was raised from Wheatland and the townships of Sprin Rock, Liberty, Berlin and a few men from the border of Cedar Count Its officers were : Captain, Edwin A. Wemple, Wheatland; First Lieutenan John L. Steele, Wheatland ; Second Lieutenant, Edward W. Bennett, Whea land.
Company K was raised in Lyons, Deep Creek, Elk River, Washington ar Waterford Townships, principally. Its officers were : Captain, Nelson C. Ro Lyons; First Lieutenant, Nathan D. Hubbard, Deep Creek; Second Lieutenar Lucian Pomeroy, Lyons. The Twenty-sixth Regiment was mustered out June 1865.
The last company raised in the county was Company A, Sixth Iowa Cavalr which was mustered in January 31, 1863. Its officers were : Captain, Job Galligan, Clinton ; First Lieutenant, John M. Gates, De Witt; Second Lie tenant, Simon J. Toll, Lyons.
Taking into account the fact that many scattering men had enlisted in oth organizations and in batteries and in the naval service, it may be presumed tha up to this date. Clinton County had furnished over 2,500 volunteers. Bu notwithstanding this great number of men, who had voluntarily gone into t service, the requirements of the General Government were not satisfied, and. September, 1864, the draft, which the people had made so great sacrifices avoid, was made, and about 200 men were drawn for service from Clint County.
Meanwhile, the women were equally as earnest and enthusiastic as the husbands, fathers, sons and brothers. "Soldiers' Aid and Relief Societies were organized in the towns and townships of the county, and systematic wo inaugurated and carried forward for providing the volunteers in field and hospital with the necessaries and luxuries they so much needed. Clothin bed-clothing, cots, slippers, books, papers, delicacies were forwarded in unli ited quantities. It will never be possible to fully estimate the mighty impul given to the cause, or the encouragement afforded to the soldiers enduring t hardships of the campaign, or the privations and dispiriting surroundings a sufferings in the hospitals, by the women of the North, by their indefatigal labors.
The Board of Supervisors took action at a special session held July 1861, and voted $5,000 to equip and uniform the "Hawk-Eye Rangers which vote only had two dissenting voices. This money was expended by special committee of their number, viz .: James Van Deventer, George Gr wold and John F. Homer, who so faithfully executed their trust as to receive vote of thanks from their associate members. On September 30, 1861, following resolution was unanimously passed :

HISTORY OF CLINTON COUNTY.
" That each Supervisor be and is hereby appointed a committee to provide relief in his township to the destitute family of any volunteer who is now or may be engaged in the military service of the State or the United States."
This was continued throughout the war, being broadened in its scope at the September session, 1862, to include the needy families of those who had died in the service as well as those serving.
On the 11th of August, 1862, the Supervisors, or a majority of them, informally pledged a bounty of $75 to each volunteer who had entered the service prior to that time; and, at the September session, the matter being brought up for official action, it was found that this could not be legally done. The Board immediately prepared a memorial to the Legislature, then in session at Des Moines, praying for proper legislation to permit the granting of such bounty and dispatched one of their number to urge its immediate passage, and, at the October term, the provisions of the resolutions were extended to include the soldiers of the Twenty-sixth Regiment, which had just taken the field, and passed. About $75,000 were disbursed under this resolution.
In January, 1864, a new stand of colors were voted to the Twenty-sixth Regiment by the Board with appropriate resolutions.
It does not come within the province of this work to write of the history of the companies or of the Clinton County Regiment during their service. Suffice it to say that on many a well-fought field the brave soldiers who went from Clinton County honored their State and their county, and made a glorious record for organized and individual bravery, while hundreds laid down their lives in defense of their country's flag.
Fourteen years have passed since the last foe laid down his arms ; the great armies disappeared like the morning dew, and to-day we meet all about us engaged in the quiet avocations of merchant, professional man, husbandman and mechanic, men who have passed unflinchingly through more terrific scenes of carnage than veterans of historic time and received more terrible baptisms of shot and shell than Napoleon's "Old Guard." The weeds of the widow, mother and daughter have well-nigh disappeared, yet thousands of hearts still hold enshrined the memory of those of their household, who sleep in a soldier's grave in cemetery or unmarked trench on Southern battle-fields.
"On Fame's eternal camping-ground Their snowy tents are spread, And glory guards with solemn round The bivouac of the dead."
