Maj. Robert Anderson, who was in command of the harbor defenses at Charleston, South Carolina, removed his garrison from Fort Moultrie to Fort Sumter about the beginning of the year 1861, in order to be in a stronger position in the event an attempt should be made to take possession of the defensive works about the city. This act was looked upon by the secessionists as a hostile movement and they immediately began the construction of batteries with a view to reducing Fort Sumter. On January 9, 1861, the steamer Star of the West, an unarmed vessel carrying supplies to Major Anderson and his men, was fired upon and compelled to turn back before the supplies were deliv- ered. In the official record this incident is regarded as the beginning of the great Civil war, but the general public was not thoroughly aroused to the gravity of the situation until three months later.
At 4:30 o'clock on the morning of Friday, April 12, 1861, the first shot of the Civil war, as popularly understood, went crashing against the solid walls of Fort Sumter. It was fired by Edmund Ruffin, a gray- haired Virginian and a personal and political friend of John C. Calhoun. The little garrison promptly responded, and for more than forty-eight
180
HISTORY OF HUNTINGTON COUNTY
hours the cannonading went on, when Major Anderson capitulated. He and his men were permitted to retire from the fort with all the honors of war, saluting the flag before it was hauled down. This occurred on Sunday, April 14, 1861, and the next day President Lincoln issued his proclamation calling for 75,000 volunteers "to preserve the Union and suppress the rebellion."
All over the North, when the telegraph flashed the news that Fort Sumter had fallen, the excitement was intense. Political differences were for the time forgotten in the general indignation at the insult offered to the flag of the fathers. The Huntington Herald, edited by A. W. DeLong, in commenting upon the event, said :
"The question now is, whether this government-the best the sun ever shone on and under which we have lived in happiness so long- shall be perpetuated or overthrown. Men must show by their words and acts where they stand. Those who are for it stand where the patriots of the Revolution stood, and maintain the principles fought for and estab- lished by them. Those who are against it occupy the position held by the Tories of that period. They are guilty of treason and should be treated as TRAITORS."
Before the news of the President's call for volunteers had reached Indiana, Governor Morton sent the following telegram to Washington : "Indianapolis, Ind., April 15, 1861.
"To Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States :
"On behalf of the State of Indiana, I tender you, for the defense of the Nation and to uphold the authority of the Government, ten thou- sand men.
OLIVER P. MORTON, "Governor of Indiana."
The next day ( April 16th) Governor Morton issued his proclamation calling for six regiments of infantry as the state's quota of the 75,000 troops asked for by the President. As Indiana had furnished five regi- ments for service in the war with Mexico, to avoid confusion in the history and records of the state, it was ordered that the first regiment organized for the Civil war should be numbered the Sixth. The Indiana regiments raised under the first call, with the colonels commanding, were as follows: Sixth, Thomas T. Chittenden; Seventh, Ebenezer Dumont; Eighth, William P. Benton; Ninth, Robert H. Milroy ; Tenth, Joseph J. Reynolds; Eleventh, Lewis Wallace.
As soon as the governor's proclamation reached Huntington County the work of recruiting commenced. A company known as the Hunting- ton Home Guards was organized in the City of Huntington, with E. N." Whiting as captain and H. B. Sayler as first lieutenant. A company of artillery was also organized and offered to the governor, but as the call
181
HISTORY OF HUNTINGTON COUNTY
was for "six regiments of infantry" the artillery company was not accepted. Within a week a company of 130 men was ready to be mus- tered into service. On April 20th, at a meeting in Roanoke, thirty men enlisted as rapidly as they could get to the table to sign their names, and the sum of $250 was subscribed to take care of the families of those who volunteered. So prompt had been the response throughout the state that the quota of six regiments was filled before the Huntington County company was fully organized. When the Eleventh regiment was mus- tered in there were twenty-nine companies at Camp Morton, Indianapo- lis, ready to be formed into regiments, and sixty-eight other companies were ready to report. One of these was the Huntington County com- pany, which the adjutant-general had advised to keep up its organization for a second call. Under these circumstances Governor Morton, on his own responsibility and under the power vested in him as commander- in-chief of the militia, decided to organize five regiments of twelve months' volunteers, "for the defense of the state, or for the service of the United States if a second call for volunteers should be made."
On May 6, 1861, the governor's plan was sanctioned by the Legisla- ture, then in special session, by the passage of an act authorizing the organization of six regiments, to be numbered from the Twelfth to the Seventeenth, inclusive.
After the passage of the act alluded to in the preceding paragraph, the Huntington County company was ordered to report at Indianapolis, where it was mustered into the state service as Company F. Thirteenth Infantry, with Henry A. Johnson, captain ; Isaac DeLong, first lieuten- ant; Harmon H. Hendricks, second lieutenant. On March 31, 1862, Hendricks was promoted to first lieutenant. Others who served as second lieutenant of this company were Samuel M. Zent, who entered the service as a corporal and rose to be lieutenant-colonel of the regiment, and Bernard Conron, of Allen County, but credited to Huntington, who entered the service as first sergeant of the company.
The sergeants of the company were Martin V. Record, Thomas C. Gurley, Isaac Estry and Samuel Clawson. The corporals were Samuel M. Zent, John Underwood, John Slusser, John Riley, William Starr, Joseph W. Payton, Jefferson Crandal and Henry Bercham. Jacob G. Souers and Jefferson M. Clark were enrolled as musicians, and Harrison Eaton was the company wagoner.

As already stated, the Thirteenth was organized for a state service, but on June 19, 1861, it was mustered into the service of the United States for three years, with Jere C. Sullivan as colonel. On the 4th of July it left Indianapolis for Western Virginia, and a few days later joined the army under Gen. George B. McClellan. It was first engaged in the battle of Rich Mountain, where it lost eight killed and nine wounded. The regiment remained with the Army of the Potomac throughout the greater part of its service, taking part in the battles of Allegheny, Deserted Farm, the siege of Forts Wagner and Gregg, nearly all of the actions with General Butler's forces south of the City of Rich- mond, Cold Harbor, Strawberry Plains, the siege of Petersburg and a number of minor engagements. On June 24, 1864, the men whose time had expired were mustered out, and on December 2, 1864, under order No. 384 from General Butler, the Thirteenth was reorganized as a bat- talion of five companies. It was at this time that Samuel M. Zent was made lieutenant-colonel and Sergt. Thomas C. Gurley was made first lieutenant of Company B. Early in the spring of 1865 five companies of drafted men and substitutes were added to the battalion. The regi- ment was mustered out at Goldsboro, North Carolina, September 5, 1865, and reached Indianapolis ten days later, where the men received their final pay and honorable discharge.
Before the first full company from Huntington County was mustered in with the Thirteenth Infantry a number of Huntington County men
183
HISTORY OF HUNTINGTON COUNTY
enlisted with other organizations. According to the adjutant-general's reports, George W. Harlan was a sergeant in Company I, Eighth Regi- ment; Jared Barnes and John Freds served as privates in the Ninth, the former in Company B and the latter in Company I, in the three months' service; in the Twelfth, during its three months' service, Till- man H. Fisher, Noah J. Murphy and David Park were privates in . Company I. When that regiment was reorganized for three years it contained fourteen men from Huntington County. John W. Sturman was a corporal in Company A and in the same company were the fol- lowing privates : Anthony Brice, Eli N. Bugbee, Joseph A. Connett, James A. Crowell, Richard Doyle, Jacob Fosselman, Joseph Shipley and Thomas Stewart. In Company E were James Myers and Albert A. Walker, and in Company F were Simon Koontz and Franklin Miller.
After the organization of the Thirteenth, but before another full company went from Huntington, William Bennett and John McCarthy enlisted in the Sixteenth Infantry, but their names appear in the official record as "unassigned." William McCrume was a private in Company I of that regiment and Reuben Forker was a private in Company D of the Thirtieth Infantry.
Huntington County was well represented in the Thirty-fourth Regi- ment. Companies C and G were recruited in the county, and a number of men enlisted in other companies. Robert G. Morrison was mustered in as major and afterward was promoted to lieutenant-colonel and colonel. At the time of muster-in, David Y. Whiting was captain of Company C; Elmer B. Warner, first lieutenant; George W. Jackson, second lieuten- ant. Warner was afterward promoted to the captaincy. Others who served as captain were George W. Jackson and Lewis P. Morrison. A full list of the first lieutenants includes the names of George W. Jackson, Lewis P. Morrison, Peter Mckenzie, Henry Ludwick and Samuel R. Irwin. The second lieutenants during the term of service were Elmer B. Warner, George W. Jackson, Lewis P. Morrison, Jefferson Poling, John B. Harris and Samuel R. Irwin.
The muster rolls of the company show the following non-commis- sioned officers and privates: William Johnston, first sergeant; Jacob Delvin, George France, Andrew Kaylor and John Barnett, sergeants; Samuel Kilander, Henry Ludwick, Thomas Kearns, Robert Hulliberger, Jefferson Poling, David P.

This regiment was mustered in at Anderson, September 16, 1861, for three years, with Asbury Steele as colonel. About the middle of Octo- ber it was ordered to Kentucky, and there remained in camp until February 14, 1862, when it was ordered to join General Grant in Ten- nessee and arrived at Fort Donelson soon after the surrender of that post. It then took part in the expedition against New Madrid, after which it was on duty in Arkansas until the spring of 1863, when it again joined Grant's army for the siege of Vicksburg. During the operations about that city the Thirty-fourth was in some of the most hotly contested engagements. After the surrender of Vicksburg the regiment was ordered to Louisiana and from there to Texas. This regi- ment took part in the last battle of the Civil war, May 13, 1865, at Palmetto Ranche, Texas, where John J. Williams, private of Company B, who enlisted from Jay County, fell in the action, and is said to have
186
HISTORY OF HUNTINGTON COUNTY
been the last man killed in battle in the war. The Thirty-fourth was one of the last regiments to be mustered out, continuing on duty in Texas until February 3, 1866.
In Company C, Forty-second Infantry, the names of John Conrod and . Peter Lohr appear as recruits. On the muster roll of the company, as shown in the adjutant-general's reports, the residences of many of the men are not given, and it is possible that some of them should be credited to Huntington County.
Randall Simmons was a corporal and Jacob Baumgardner a private in Company D, Forty-fourth Infantry, and David Randol was a private in Company H of the same regiment. After the Thirty-fourth, how- ever, the first regiment in which Huntington County was represented by a full company was the Forty-seventh Infantry.
In this regiment Eli Arnold enlisted in Company A as a corporal and on October 19, 1862, was promoted to first lieutenant. Henry F. Hill was a private in Company B; Companies E and F were raised in Huntington County, and there were a number of Huntington County men in both Company G and Company H.
At the time Company E was mustered in Jacob Wintrode was cap- tain; Jehu Swaidner, first lieutenant; Elijah Snowden, second lieuten- ant. Other first lieutenants were Benjamin W. Payton (promoted captain) and Sylvester W. Snodgrass. Jacob W. Hart and Benjamin W. Payton also served as second lieutenants. John Eikenberg and Ben- jamin F. Churchill held the rank of sergeant; Seneca Heath, John Hackett, John W. Williams, Henry Adams, Benjamin W. Payton, Sylvester W. Snodgrass, Jacob W. Hart and Wesley Weaver were the corporals; Thomas Welker and John A. Bash, musicians, and Owen Shively, wagoner.
