Marietta, Georgia, where it was stationed until October, 1865, when it was mustered out.


The Forty-eighth infantry comes, perhaps, as near to the hearts of the people of St. Joseph county as does any other single regi- ment, for the reason that, as in the case of the Twenty-ninth, the colonel commanding was a St. Joseph county man, but still more, no doubt, because so large a proportion of all the officers and men were from the county. No less than three full companies, B, E and F, besides members of other companies, were from St. Joseph county, and their record, to- gether with that of their gallant commander, Colonel Norman Eddy, was of so brilliant a character as to enshrine their name and fame in the hearts of all the people. The roster of the companies is as follows :


Norman Eddy, Colonel.


Edward P. Stanfield, Adjutant. Levi J. Ham, Surgeon. Sylvester Laning, Surgeon. W. W. Butterworth, Asst. Surgeon. COMPANY A. Abner J. Dean, Captain. COMPANY B.


William H. Sutphin, Captain. Asa Knott, Lieutenant. George H. Loring, Lieutenant.

On October 1, 1862, the Seventy-third was assigned to the Twentieth brigade, Sixth di- vision of Buell's army and joined in the pur- suit of Bragg. On November 7 the regiment surprised and captured Gallatin, Tennessee. It took a gallant part in the battle of Stone's River, under Rosecrans, from December 29, 1862, until January 3, 1863. On April 10, 1863, the regiment was mounted and joined Colonel A. D. Streight's famous raid, in which the Seventy-third displayed the utmost valor. On May the second, in an engagement at Blount's Farm, Alabama, the brave colonel, Gilbert Hathaway, fell mortally wounded. On May the third Colonel Streight was forced to surrender, at Cedar Bluffs, Alabama. The men were forwarded north and exchanged, but the greater part of the officers were kept in prison for nearly two years. On March 28, 1864, Major Wade, having been released from prison, assumed command of the regiment. From this time until April, 1865, the Seventy- third was attached to the first brigade, fourth division, Twentieth Army Corps. In Septem- ber and October, 1864, the regiment, then under Lieutenant Colonel Wade, won great renown in its defense of Decatur, Alabama, first against General Buford with four thou- sand men, and afterwards against Hood's whole army of thirty-five thousand men. The strength of the garrison while resisting Bu- ford was but five hundred men, and while withstanding Hood's army was but five thou- sand. Hood raised the siege, saying it would cost more to take the place than it was worth. The remainder of the service was in skirmish- ing and guarding railroad communications. On July 1, 1865, the regiment was mustered ( ut nt Nashville.


Of the members of Company C two were killed in battle, two accidentally killed, one killed in military prison, while twenty-one died of wounds or disease. Alfred B. Wade was promoted from adjutant to major, then to lieutenant colonel and finally to colonel; John A. Richley, from first lieutenant to cap- tain : Alexander N. Thomas, from corporal to

On March 23, 1864, the regiment left Mich- igan City for Nashville, where it was assigned to the first brigade of the division commanded by General Hovey, afterwards designated as the first division of the Twenty-third Army Corps, under command of General Schofield. The corps took part in the Atlanta campaign, engaging the enemy at Resaca, Dallas, New Hope Church, Lost Mountain, Kenesaw Moun- tain, Atlanta and Jonesboro. On June 6, 1864, Colonel DeHart being disabled from wounds, Lieutenant Colonel Jasper Packard assumed command of the regiment. On Octo- ber .the third the twenty-third corps was de- tached from Sherman's army and ordered to report to General Thomas at Chattanooga, whose army proceeded to thwart Hood's effort to re-capture Tennessee. The One Hundred and Twenty-eighth was engaged at the severe fight at Franklin, where Hood received his first check. On December 15, 1864, Thomas attacked Hood at Nashville and totally routed his army. On January 5, 1865, the regiment having joined in the pursuit of Hood as far as Columbia, Tennessee, marched thence to Clifton on the Tennessee, river, and proceeded by boat to Cincinnati, and by rail to Wash- ington. On February the twentieth it em- barked by steamer for Fort Fisher, but landed at Morehead City, North Carolina, and went thence by rail to Newburn. For some time thereafter the regiment was engaged guarding railroads, marching and skirmishing constant- ly. On April 29, 1865, Colonel DeHart was mustered out and Lieutenant Colonel Pack- ard became colonel. He was afterwards brevetted as brigadier general. The regiment was not mustered out until 1866.'
