The Valparaiso Guards-the surplus members of the original com- pany -- were assigned to Company C, Fifteenth Indiana Infantry, which was commanded by Col. George Wagner. This was one of six regiments of state troops which were mustered into the United States service in the summer of 1861. Company C was commanded by Capt. John M.

IIISTORY OF PORTER COUNTY


Comparet, of Fort Wayne. O. H. Ray and John F. McCarthy, of Porter county, were the first and second lieutenants, respectively. The first service of the Fifteenth was in western Virginia, where it was engaged at Rieh mountain and Green Brier, after which it joined Buell's army in Tennessee. It participated in the battles at Shiloh, Corinth, Perry- ville, Stone's river, the Tullahoma campaign, the operations around Chattanooga, and then marched to the relief of General Burnside, who was besieged at Knoxville, Tennessee. The main body of the regiment was mustered out in June, 1864, the veterans and recruits continuing in the serviec until August 8, 1865.


Company 1, Twentieth Indiana Infantry, was composed almost en- tirely of Porter county men. The officers of the regiment were: W. h. Brown, colonel; Charles D. Murray, lieutenant-colonel; Benjamin IT. Smith, major. When the regiment was mustered in on July 22, 1861, the officers of Company I were as follows: Captain, William W. Macey ; first lieutenant, Richard T. Henderson ; second lieutenant, Jesse N. Potts. The regiment was mustered in at Indianapolis and left that city on Au- gust 2, for Maryland." It was then sent to Hatteras inlet and from there to Fortress Monroe, where it formed part of the land forees at the time the Merrimac made the attack on the Union fleet, March 9, 1862, and it was this regiment which prevented the capture of the gunboat Congress by the enemy. On June 8, 1862, it was assigned to Jamieson's brigade, Kearney's division, Heintzelman's corps, Army of the Potomae, with which it took part in the battles of Fair Oaks, the Orchards, the Seven Days' Battles, especially at Glendale, and was then ordered back to Alexandria, Virginia. Its next engagement was at Manassas Plains, where Colonel Brown was killed, and it was also in the battle of Chan- tilly. It was with Franklin's eorps at the battle of Fredericksburg, December 13, 1862; was with General Hooker in the battle of Chancel- lorsville in May, 1863; participated in the pursuit of General Lee's army from Gettysburg, where Col. John Wheeler was killed and 152 men of the regiment were either killed or wounded, and soon afterward was sent to New York to assist in quelling the drafts riots in that city.

It rejoined the Army of the Potomae in time for the Mine Run cam- paign in the fall of 1863, and was with General Grant in the final cam- paign against Richmond, taking part in the battles of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Cold Harbor, the siege of Petersburg, and was present at the surrender of General Lee at Appomattox, April 9, 1865. It was then ordered to Louisville, Kentucky, where it was mustered out on July 22, 1865, with 23 officers and 390 enlisted men.


A few Porter county men served in the Twenty-ninth Indiana in- fantry, which was commanded by Col. John F. Miller at the time of the muster in. J. F. Heaton was assistant surgeon of the regiment; Samuel E. Wetzel was first lieutenant of Company F; Anson Goodwin was second lieutenant of Company I, and S. G. Gilmore was a sergeant in Company G. In the Thirty-fourth infantry Stephen L. Bartholomew, a Porter county man, was quartermaster, and S. C. Logan was chaplain. Rev. James C. Brown was chaplain of the Forty-eighth infantry until his death at Paducah, Kentucky, in 1862, and Theophilus Matott served as second and first lieutenant of Company D until he resigned from the service on September 18, 1863. 'In Company B, Sixty-third Indiana infantry there were a number of Porter county men. Henry O. Skinner was mus tered in as a sergeant and was promoted to the captainey; Lawrence Tompkins, John Teeter, Thomas H. Lewis and Allen W. MeConnell served as corporals, and the original muster roll bears the names of twenty- two privates who enlisted from the county. John S. Williams was colonel of the regiment at the time it was mustered into service on August 29, 1862. The regiment was on' duty at Indianapolis until Christmas, when it was ordered to Kentucky to guard the line of the Louisville & Nash- ville railroad. On February 25, 1863, it was sent to Knoxville, Tennessee, where it was assigned to the Second brigade, Third division, Twenty- third army corps. It took part in the Atlanta campaign in 1864; then returned to Tennessee with General Thomas; was in the battles of Frank. lin and Nashville and the pursuit of Hood's army, after which it was ordered to Fort Fisher, North Carolina, and assisted in the reduction

of that Confederate stronghold. It was mustered out at Indianapolis on May 20, 1865.


The Seventy-third Indiana infantry was mustered in on August 16, 1862, with Gilbert Hathaway as colonel; Robert W. Graham, of Valpa- raiso, as lieutenant-colonel, and Iliram S. Green, of Porter county, as- sistant surgeon. Company E of this regiment contained a number of Porter county men, and Company I was recruited in the county. Of the latter company Rollin M. Pratt was the first captain ; Robert W. Graham, first lieutenant; Emanuel M. Williamson, second lieutenant. Lieutenant Graham beeame eaptain on October 20, 1862, and was promoted to lieu- tenant-colonel on February 13, 1863. Lieutenants Emanuel M. William- son and William C. Eaton also served as captains of the company. The regiment was raised in northern Indiana and was mustered in at South Bend. On October 1st it was ordered to Kentneky, where it was attached to Harker's brigade, Wood's division, of Buell's army, and immediately started in pursuit of General Bragg. Subsequently it fought at Stone's river; was captured while on the celebrated raid under General Streight, and after being exchanged served in Tennessee and Alabama until mus- tred out on July 1, 1865.


Nicholas E. Maaville served for a time as chaplain of the Eighty- sixth Indiana infantry, and in the Eighty-seventh Indiana infantry John W. Elam was captain of Company D. This regiment served under Gen- eral Burbridge, and later formed part of the Third brigade, Third di- vision, Fourteenth army corps, which was with Buell at Ferryville and with Sherman on the Atlanta campaign and the march to Savannah. It was mustered out at Louisville, Kentucky, July 21, 1865.


Porter county was well represented in the Ninety-ninth Indiana infantry, which was mustered into the United States service in October, 1862, with Alexander Fowler as colonel. About three-fourths of the men in Company C came from Porter county. Jacob Brewer was captain of this company; Fred W. Drawans, first lieutenant ; William Harmon, Charles R. Loux and Daniel R. Lucas served as second lieutenants at dif- ferent times. During the year 1863 the regiment was in a number of

engagements in Tennessee and Mississippi. In the fall of that year it took part in the operations about Chattanooga, and in the spring of 1864 joined Sherman's army for the advance upon Atlanta. After the fall of that eity it was with Sherman in the march to the sea and the campaign through the Carolinas. It was mustered out in June, 1865.


Then next infantry regiment in which Porter county was repre- sented was the One Hundred and Twenty-eighth, which was mustered in on January 12, 1864, with Richard P. DeHart as colonel. Of this regi- ment William H. Calkins, of Valparaiso, was quartermaster, and Max F. A. Hoffman, surgeon. Company E was made up almost entirely of Porter county boys and was officered by Benjamin Sheffield, captain; John E. Cass, first lieutenant; John Fitzwilliams, second lieutenant. This regiment served in the Atlanta campaign and later with General Thomas in Tennessee, taking part in the engagements at Franklin and Nashville. 'It was mustered out on June 8, 1865.


In the spring of 1864 several regiments were raised and mustered into service for a term of 100 days. One of these was the One Hundred and Thirty-eighth Indiana infantry, which was commanded by Col. James H. Shannon. Thomas G. Lytle of Porter county was captain of Comparty D; Horace A. Goodwin was first lieutenant, and there were several enlisted men in the company who came from Porter county. The regiment was employed during its entire service in guard duty, but there is no doubt the men would have given a good account of themselves had they been given an opportunity to meet the enemy. There were several Porter county men in Company K, One Hundred and Forty-second Indiana infantry, of which John M. Comparet was colonel. In the com- pany mentioned George II. Pierson was first sergeant; William Christie and James Johnson, corporals, and some eight or ten privates were cred- ited to this county.


Two companies-B and E-of the One Hundred and Fifty-first Indiana infantry, Col. Joshmna Healy commanding, were composed largely of Porter county men. Anson II. Goodwin, who had served as second lieu- tenant of Company I, Twenty-ninth infantry, was commissioned captain


112


HISTORY OF PORTER COUNTY


of Company B; John E. Moon was first lieutenant, and John B. Mar- shall was second lientenant. Aaron W. Lytle was captain of Company E; Charles E. Youngs was first lieutenant, and Orlando R. Beebe, second lieutenant. All were from Porter county.


In the earlier infantry regiments there were numerous changes in the commissioned officers on account of deaths, resignations and promo- tions. Dr. R. A. Cameron, who served as captain of Company II, Ninth regiment, in the three months' service, reentered the army as lieutenant- colonel of the Nineteenth, but was transferred to the Thirty-fourth, of which regiment he became colonel on June 15, 1862, and on August 11, 1803, was made brigadier-general, United States volunteers. On March 13, 1865, he received the rank of major-general by brevet "for gallant and meritorious services." Captain Suman, who was mustered in as cap- tain of Company H. Ninth regiment, for the three years service, was pro- moted to lieutenant-colonel, August 20, 1862, became colonel on April 17, 1863, and was appointed brigadier-general by brevet on March 13, 1865. After his promotion to the lieutenant-coloneley, DeWitt C. Hods- den and Stephen P. Hodsden served as captains of the company, and there was also changes in the first and second lieutenants at various times. In the Twentieth infantry the captains of Company I-the Por- ter county company-were William W. Macey, Richard T. Henderson, James M. Lytle, Lorenzo D. Corcy and Erasmus C. Galbreath. In Com- pany I, Seventy-third infantry, the captains in the order of succession were Rollin M. Pratt, Robert. W. Graham, Emanuel M. Williamson and William C. Eaton. As a rule, each promotion raised the commissioned officers of the company each one grade higher, and in a very few in- stanees were the original officers mustered out with the company at the eonelusion of its service.


Besides the companies mentioned in the foregoing accounts of the in- fantry regiments, Porter county was represented in the cavalry and ar- tillery of the volunteer army. In the Fifth cavalry, commanded by Col. Robert R. Stewart at the time of the muster in on August 2, 1862, Arthur M. Buell was first lieutenant of Company I; James M. MeGill was first


113


HISTORY OF PORTER COUNTY


sergeant of the company until transferred to the Sixteenth Tennessee and commissioned first lieutenant; Levi II. Mutehler was sergeant, and James Bell was a corporal. Most of the service of this regiment was in Kentucky and Tennessee. It took part in twenty-two battles and skir- mishes and was mustered out on September 15, 1865.


The Seventh cavalry, commanded by Col. Jolmn P. C. Shanks, was mustered in by companies from June to September, 1863. In this regi- ment Aaron L. Jones, of Porter county, was quartermaster. Company A was made up largely of Porter county enlistments and was officered as follows: John C. Febles, captain; John R. Parmalee, first lieutenant; Henry S. Stoddard, second lieutenant. Captain Febles was promoted to major and lieutenant Parmalee became captain on October 27, 1863. Henry S. Stoddard then was made first lieutenant and John Dauch (or Douch, the name is spelled both ways in the Adjutant-General's reports) became second lieutenant. The last named was transferred to Company A, and John C. Hanson took his place as second lieutenant. Ile resigned on August 13, 1864, and Charles H. Gleason served as second lieutenant until the regiment was mustered out. The Seventh Indiana cavalry was one of the regiments whose members "lived in the saddle." On Decem- ber 6, 1863, it was ordered to Louisville, Kentucky, and from there to Tennessee. It formed part of Gen. A. J. Smith's expedition into Missis- sippi, and was with General Grierson's famous raid into the enemy's country. Company C of this regiment also contained a number of men from Porter county.


The Twelfth cavalry was organized in the early spring of 1864. It was under the command of Col. Edward Anderson. James H. Claypool, of Valparaiso, was chaplain of the regiment, and William II. Calkins, who had served as quartermaster of the One Hundred and Twenty- eighth infantry, was promoted to major while it was in the service. A majority of the members of Company M came from Porter county. Of this company Lewis Stoddard was captain; William Bissell, first lieu- tenant, and James M. Buell, second lieutenant. The first service of the regiment was in guarding the lines of railroad and fighting Forrest in Vol 1 -- 4

Tennessee and Alabama. It was then sent to New Orleans and in the spring of 1865 was ordered to Mobile, where it participated in the move- ments that resulted in the fall of Spanish Fort and Fort Blakely and the surrender of the city. It was then on duty in various places until ordered to Indianapolis, where it was mustered out on November 22, 1865.


In the Fourth Indiana battery of light artillery, which was organized in the summer and early fall of 1861, Mark L. De Motte served as first lieutenant until commissioned assistant quartermaster by President Lineoln, April 14, 1862. Augustus A. Starr, who went out second lien- tenant, resigned on July 1, 1863, and Henry J. Willets then served as second lieutenant until the battery was mustered out. This battery was withi Bnell's army at Shiloh and Corinth; was then at Stone's river and on the Tullahoma campaign; was next at Lookout mountain and in other engagements about Chattanooga. It was mustered out on August 1, 1865.


Henry Rankin, who was for many years the surveyor of Porter county, was a first lieutenant in the Fifth light battery, and in the Twentieth battery Warren C. Gilbreath served as second lieutenant from the time the battery was mustered in on September 19, 1862, until it was mustered out on June 28, 1865. The Twentieth was at first stationed in the forti- fications at Nashville, Tennessee. It was engaged almost daily in the Atlanta campaign, after which it returned to Tennessee with General Thomas and took part in the battle of Nashville, December 15, 1864. Like all Indiana troops, it was always ready.


Just how many volunteer's from Porter county served in the Union army in the Civil war will probably never be known. The official records of the adjutant-general's office-although compiled with great care-are imperfeet, especially in not giving to Indiana credit for men who really belonged to the state, but who served in regiments from other states. The same is true of the several counties. Men frequently enlisted in a company which was being organized in another county and were eredited to that county instead of their own. In addition to the organizations mentioned above, it is known that there were in other regiments a num-


115


HISTORY OF PORTER COUNTY


ber of men who should be eredited to Porter county. Then there were some in the regular army and the navy. Names of Porter county sol- diers are found on the rolls of twenty-nine regiments of infantry, four regiments of cavalry and three batteries of artillery which went from this state, and there were Porter county men in Illinois, Kentucky and Ten- nessee regiments.


According to the adjutant-general's reports, the casualties suffered by Porter county troops were 110 who died of disease; 24 killed in action ; 13 died of wounds; 1 drowned in the Mississippi river, and 1 accidently shot, making a total of 149 deaths among those who enlisted. The names of these men constitute the county's roll of honor, and it is deemed per- fectly proper to inelude their names in this work, that future genera- tions may learn from their example a lesson of unselfish patriotism. In the hour of the nation's peril they did not hesitate to saerifiee their lives upon the altar of their country in order to preserve and perpetuate the institutions our forefathers established. Those who died of disease, * with the place and date of death, where the same ean be ascertained from the records, were as follows :
