From the 84th but one man was ever taken prisoner; but ten deserted ; only one man ever sent to military prison ; and but four tried by court martial.
There were two hundred and five men in the 84th from Mc- Donough county, in five different companies-A, B, C, D and F. Killed, 11; died, 39; wounded, 39; died in Andersonville prison, 1-the only prisoner taken. Twenty-five per cent. of the whole number enlisting from this county in this regiment gave their lives for their country. A great sacrifice indeed, but made in a good cause. May such an offering never again be required.
We now call attention to the

Fort. The regiment was the extreme left of the investing line, and, with one-half deployed as skirmishers, drove the enemy within their fortifications. The regiment started for Montgomery, April 13, and July 17, 1865, started home for muster out; arrived at Chicago Aug. 3, and mustered out the 15th. One hundred and sixteen men in this regiment were from this county, and in com- panies D and I. But one was killed, fourteen died, and six wounded.
ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVENTH INFANTRY.
This regiment was organized at Camp Wood, Quincy, IlI., by Col. John Wood, and mustered in June 5, 1864, for one hundred days. On June 9, the regiment left Quincy, and proceeded to Memphis, Tenn., where it was assigned to the Fourth Brigade, District of Memphis, Colonel E. L. Baltwick, 39th Wisconsin, commanding. July 9, assigned to the Third Brigade, Colonel John Wood, commanding, and was stationed on the Hernando road on picket duty, where, on the twenty-first of August, they were attacked by General Forrest; being on the extreme outpost, they were the first to meet the enemy, and suffered more than any regiment there on duty. The regiment was mustered out of the United States service at Springfield, Ill., Sept. 4, 1864.
There were in this regiment from McDonough county one hun- dred and fifty-three men, in four different companies, C, D, G and I. Three of this number were killed, four died, four wounded, and twenty taken prisoners.
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FIRST INFANTRY.
This regiment was organized at Quincy, Illinois, and mustered into the United States service February 23, 1865, for one year. From Quincy it proceeded to Springfield, where it received its arms and accoutrements, and was then ordered to Nashville, and on March 7 marched to Murfreesboro, and then by rail to Chatta- nooga, Tenn., where it remained drilling and engaged in picket and guard duty and scouting. April 23, Colonel Woodall was de- tailed to proceed under flag of truce to Macon, Ga., via Atlanta, to communicate with Major-General Wilson, and carry, also, terms offered to the rebel General Warford for his surrender, to- gether with that of his command. This mission he executed with credit and dispatch and was complimented by his commanding officer, Brigadier-General H. M. Judah.

May 2d, ordered to proceed to Resaca, Ga., thence to Calhoun and Kingston, where the regiment arrived May 12, after a most tiresome march. The regiment marched into this town with the precision of regulars, as it was here they were to receive the sur- render of the rebel General Warford and his command, which was done on the 13th, 14th and 15th of May, 1865-10,400 rebels paroled in all.
The regiment remained at Kingston guarding government prop- erty, etc. July 28, the regiment proceeded to Columbus, Ga., where, January 24, 1866, it was mustered out and ordered to Springfield, Illinois, where it received final payment and discharge February 8, 1866.
Of this regiment 158 were McDonough county men, of whom but four died, being the only casualties, as far as known.
BATTERY H-SECOND ARTILLERY.
Battery II, Second Ill. Light Artillery, was organized at Camp Butler, Ill., Dec. 1861, by Capt. Andrew Stenbeck, and was mus- tered in Dec. 31, 1861, and Feb. 6, 1862, moved to Cairo, Ill., and was stationed at Fort Holt. One section moved to siege Ft. Pil- low, and returned to Columbus, Ky. and from there to Henderson and went into pursuit of Morgan, Aug. 1. One section moved to Smithfield, Ky., and Sept. 4, one moved to Clarksville, Tenn. Jan. 1, 1864, sixty-five men re-enlisted as veteran, and were fur- loughed. During the summer of 1864, the men of the battery were mounted and armed, as cavalry, and used in scouting, etc. Aug. 8, engaged the enemy at Canton and Rockcastle Ford, Ky., and subsequently were in garrison at Clarksville, until July 15, 1865, when the battery moved to Springfield, Ill., for muster out, and accordingly July 29 was mustered out of service. Fourteen men of this battery were from MeDonough county, none of whom were killed, and but one died.
COMPANY B-TENTH MISSOURI INFANTRY.
At the first call for 300,000 men, made by President Lincoln in 1861, Dr. W. F. Bayne, of Macomb, made up a company, and im- mediately wrote to Springfield and tendered its service to Gov- ernor Yates. The Governor informed him that, as he had already accepted two companies from McDonough county, and that being their full quota, he must deeline any more. The doctor, with his men, not desiring to quietly submit and remain at home in time of their country's peril, concluded to go to Missouri and enlist, that

State being unable to fill her quota. They accordingly went to St. Louis without delay, tendered their service, and was accepted by Governor Gamble, and mustered into service at St. Louis Arsenal, as Co. B; was put on detached duty until 1862, when they were assigned to the 10th Missouri Infantry, Second Brigade, Third Division, Army of the Mississippi. The doctor received the commission of Captain, and for two years (having to resign on account of ill health) led the company through many of the hot- test engagements of the rebellion. Very soon after the Captain had been commissioned he received a letter from Governor Yates accepting the services of his company, stating that when the two companies referred to came to muster they had only men enough for one. This letter was received too late to effect any change. Had it arrived a few hours earlier Captain Bayne and his com - pany would have been in the 28th Illinois Volunteers. One of the most efficient regiments engaged in the suppression of the re- bellion was the 10th Missouri Infantry, and no company of that regiment did better service or has a brighter record than Co. B, of MeDonough county.
Many of those enlisting in 1861 never returned to their homes, still there are a few of the brave boys scattered here and there over the country who, sixteen years ago, were so resolutely deter- mined to defend their country. The following are some of the more prominent engagements in which Co. B took an active part : Corinth, in the spring of 1862; Iuka, September, 1862; Corinth, Oct. 3 and 4, 1862 ; Raymond, Miss., May 12, 1863 ; Jackson, May 14, 1863, and Champion Hills, May 16. The company was before Vicksburg during the siege, from May 18 to July 4, 1863.

SUMMARY.
We find, under the various calls, McDonough county was called upon to raise 2,737 men. By the reports of the Adjutant Gen- eral of the State we learn that there were credited to the county 2,734, leaving a deficit of three men. If the seventy-one men en- listing in the 10th Missouri infantry had been duly credited to the county, together with many enlisting in companies made up principally and credited wholly to other counties, we would have exceeded our quota by at least two hundred men. Only about twenty of the one hundred and two counties in the State furnished as great a number proportionately.
MeDonough county was represented in thirty-three regiments and in seventy-eight companies. There were sixty-nine men killed in battle, one hundred and eighty-two wounded, and one hundred and seventy-six died while in the service, of whom we have no record ..
Below will be found a carefully compiled statement taken from the reports of the Adjutant-General of the State and revised in great part by some one familiar with each regiment and company. We have tried to make it correct and reliable, having spent many days in the work of compilation.
