Many of the recruits, who in 1862 and 1864 joined this company, were Elk- hart men, but in the regimental roster their residences are not given and therefore the difficulty of collecting their names fifteen years after the peace, is almost an insurmountable obstacle to the completion of this roll. However, the county may rest assured that the names given have brought it sufficient honor, with all their distinguished military services.
The 44th Regiment included among its officers : Colonel. J. F. Curtis : lieutenant-colonel. J. C. Hodges: adjutant, S. E. Smith : captains, .1. Heath. D. S. Belnap and O. D. Scovel; lientenants, W.
