HAZZARD'S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF GEORGE WASHINGTON LENNARD.
COLONEL 57TH INFANTRY REGIMENT, INDIANA VOLUNTEERS.
Colonel George Washington Lennard, the subject of this sketch, was born near Newark, Licking County, Ohio, March 5, 1825. Deprived by circumstances of early educational advantages, he reached the age of sixteen years without having learned to read or write. By determined energy, which so highly char- acterized him in later life, he made such use of his meager opportunities that in 1847 he was prepared to commence the study of medicine, a profession to which he then expected to devote his life. In March, 1850, he received the degree of Doctor of Medicine from the Eclectic Medical Institute of Medicine of Cincinnati. He located at New Castle in 1851, to engage in the practice of his profession. Though young in years he became from the first a successful physician. He soon discovered that the practice of medicine did not open to him the field in which to gratify his ambition so he retired from it at the expiration of two years. and purchased the New Castle Courier office, and was connected with this paper as editor and publisher for some eighteen months. He next studied law and graduated with honor at the law school of Cincinnati, in 1855. In this profession he became a successful practitioner. He was married June 10. 1852, at the residence, in New Castle, of Samuel and Vienna (Woodward) Hazzard. parents of the author of this History, to Miss Clarinda Woodward, a noble lady, youngest child of Asahel and Catharine Woodward. the first white settlers of Henry County. She was a sister of Mrs. Samuel Hazzard. In 1861. when the tocsin of war sounded through the land, he was one of the first to respond, and his energy and influence were thrown at once into the cause and his labors from that time forth were earnest and untiring in behalf of his country. He was among the first to volunteer as a private soldier. On the organization of Company C. Thirty Sixth Regiment, he was elected its First Lientenant, from which position before the company was mustered into service, he was called to the Adjutancy of the regiment. His gentlemanly bearing, prompt attention to duties and fine soldierly qualities soon attracted the attention of his superior officers, and he was tendered by General Thomas J. Wood, a position on his staff with the rank of Captain which was accepted, and for some time filled with such a degree of credit as won for him the unanimous and hearty encomiums of his brother officers. Because of his prompt and manly discharge of every duty. Governor Morton. December 2, 1862, gave him a commission as Colonel and assigned him to the Fifty Seventh Regiment. In all the varied and responsible positions to which he was assigned, his career illustrated the highest type of our citizen soldiery. His duties were performed with skill, bravery and success. In all the engagements in which his regiment participated he was conspicuous for his gallant bearing and was highly complimented. At the battle of Stone's River. December 31. 1862, he was severely wounded in the right leg by a musket shot which resulted in a tedious confinement, but from which he afterward sufficiently recovered to rejoin his regiment. He afterward led his gallant regi- ment in the hard-fought battles of Missionary Ridge, Rocky Face Ridge and Resaca. At the battle of Resaca, May 14, 1864, he was struck

by a shell which shattered his right knee and inflicted a shock from which his system never rallied. Asbury L. Kerwood, one of his soldiers, in a well- written history of the regiment, gives the following account of his death :
"DEATH OF COLONEL LENNARD."
"There were probably few officers connected with the army who were more solicitous or took a deeper interest in every movement in which their command should participate than did Colonel Lennard. Immediately after the last change of position, the Colonel advanced to the open ground in front, dismounted, and was engaged for several minutes in conversation with General Newton and other officers, concerning the disposition of the regiment. The consultation over, he turned to go back to the regiment; and just as he was in the act of mounting his horse a shell from the enemy passed through his right knee, shattering it to pieces and mangling it horribly. The horse, much frightened, dashed on toward the regiment, and in a few moments a pair of stretchers were provided on which to bear away the body of the Colonel. Gloom and sadness took possession of every man as he was borne back to take his farewell of the men who had almost learned to love him. 'Now, take good care of the boys, Major,' were the last words he ever said in hearing of the command. General Wagner, when he heard of the fall of the Colonel, was deeply moved, and was afterwards heard to say he had lost his best man. Soon afterward the Colonel was carried to a house three-quarters of a mile in the rear, and a member of the regiment, Sergeant W. W. Sims, remained with him until after his death.
