There were men from Dearborn county in nearly every company of the regiment, and it is impossible to mention only those who were members of the companies organized in the county. A number from Harrison township enlisted in Company H, of which at one time Oliver. H. Ashby was captain and James A. Leonard, first lieutenant, both from Harrison township. Zalmon S. Main, at one time the lieutenant-colonel of the regiment, was also credited to Lawrenceburg.
Company C lost three men killed in battle; ten died from disease, and thirty-two were discharged on account of disabilities incurred during their term of service.
Company D served with the same gallantry as the other companies, and lost two men killed, and six from disease, but the adjutant-general's report fails to show their losses. George P. Buell was colonel of the Fifty-eighth Regiment, Indiana Volunteer Infantry, appointed by Governor Morton, but no companies from Dearborn county were attached to the regiment. Colonel Buell was a native of Dearborn county and was afterwards promoted to brig-
