WHITLEY COUNTY, INDIANA.
flag to the volunteers and May 21 the com- pany left for Camp Morton at Indianapolis, being mustered into United States service June 11.
This company was attached to the Sev- enteenth Indiana Regiment and was sent into West Virginia. 1. B. McDonald, who went out as its second lieutenant, an un- compromising Democrat and the third man to enlist, wrote stirring and patriotic letters that produced effect when read at home ; and soon other companies were being raised. October 17th Captain Cuppy's company, which became Company E, Forty-fourth In- diana Volunteer Regiment, and which was raised largely in Richland township, marched from South Whitley to Columbia City, where it took rail for Fort Wayne, the rendezvous of the regiment, and was mus- tered in November 22, 1861.
November 21, 1861, Captain Peter Si- monson secured the mustering in of the Fifth Indiana Battery Light Artillery, which had been raised largely by Judge James C. Bodley, who had but recently served as judge of the district court and who became Captain of Company K. Eighty-eighth In- diana, and who later lost his life by the explosion of a cannon while at home and assisting in the celebration of some war victory.
At the time of the first draft Whitley county was posted as being about one hun- dred and fifty men short. Though by special efforts this was reduced to about twenty- five, who were provided for by draft. Scenes similar to what were witnessed in every state transpired ; but the quota was filled without serious difficulty, the district mar- shal keeping the necessary machinery in mo- tion.
Considering the influences and the rabid condition of the public mind, so many not yet being settled in policy, no future citi- zen of this county may blush for failure to thoroughly perform the duty demanded of its people. Nearly one thousand men went from the small county, a remarkably small number of them acting otherwise than to reflect credit and honor upon its escutcheon.
While no Whitley county men attained remarkable distinction, a few were pro- moted to responsible position. I. B. Mc- Donald was made a captain in the regular army by President Lincoln, served with dis- tinction on the staff of General Milroy and finally was promoted to be lieutenant colonel of the Sixth West Virginia Veteran Cav- alry.
Captain James C. Bodley was advanced to be major of his regiment. Captain Stough, the first man to enlist in the county, was a man of great patriotism and was made major in the field for gallant service. He was captured, confined in Libby and while there was promoted to lienteuant colonel, but never wore the bars, as he gave up his life while still a prisoner, October 29. 1863.
The drafts of July and December, 1864, demanded four hundred and eighteen men from Whitley county. Strenuous efforts were put forth by the citizens and the bounty was increased so that $1,192 could be had for one year's service. As drafted men re- ceived no bounty, the inducement was such that this county soon filled its requirement and these drafts did not affect it.
The amount of $159,684 was paid by the county during the war in bounty and relief fund.
December 4, 1862, the following persons
215
WHITLEY COUNTY, INDIANA.
were appointed superintendents of soldiers' families and to provide for their wants : Cleveland, B. H. Cleveland; Richland, A. F. Martin; Troy, A. M. Trumbull; Wash- ington, Martin Bechtel: Columbia, F. H. Foust; Thorncreek, H. S. Cobaugh: Jef- ferson, John W. Crowell: Etna, Alanson Tucker: Union, Francis Mossman ; Smith, Francis Tully.
They were ordered to make inquiry into the condition of soldiers' families and re- port to the county auditor what was neces- sary for their support and should register name of wife or other person in charge of the family and auditor then to draw orders accordingly each month as long as the neces- sity existed, not more than three dollars per month for wife and one dollar for each child.
In addition to what the county did for soldiers' families nearly every township had regular organized societies looking after sol- diers' families, furnishing them necessaries of life as well as money. Richland township was the first township to organize such a society, October 23, 1861.
When the war ceased, May 1, 1865, Whitley county had put ninety-two more men in the field than the calls of the Presi- dent had required, all told. Every other county in northern Indiana was seven to eighty-nine behind their quota.
The Eleventh Indiana Regiment con- tained several Whitley county men and did excellent service early in the war, particu- larly at Forts Henry and Donelson, at Shi- loh, Corinth, Yazoo Pass, siege of Vicks- burg and later in the battles of Winchester and Fisher's Hill.
The Seventeenth, with Company E from
Whitley county, first fought at Greenbrier, Virginia, and then at Corinth, Mississippi, against Forrest and Bragg. In February, 1863, it was mounted and armed with Spen- cer rifles. It was prominent in all the most sanguinary battles of the Atlanta campaign, was active in "the Wilson raid" and without aid captured Macon, Georgia, securing one major-general, three brigadier-generals, three thousand prisoners, sixty pieces of ar- tillery, three thousand small arms, etc. It had a glorious record and one to which any descendant of one of its soldiers may point with pride. It was and is an honor to have belonged to the Seventeenth. Company E received seventy-five recruits during its ser- vice, as is seen in its roster, which is here appended.
The Forty-fourth Regiment, of which Company E was from this county, had also a creditable record. Captain Cuppy was killed, as was George Weemer, first lieuten- ant. Oliver P. Koontz and William H. Hil- debrand were his successors in command.
The regiment was mustered into service November 22, 1861, under Colonel Hugh B. Reed. It suffered severely in the attacks on Forts Henry and Donelson, being under fire constantly at the latter place from the thir- teenth to the 16th of February and on the evening of the 15th it forced General Buck- ner back into the fort as he made a sortie to escape and charging up the works where its heaviest loss occurred.
In the two days' battle of Shiloh it lost thirty-three killed and one hundred and sev- enty-seven wounded. It had long, arduous marches after Perryville. It was in Stone River, Chickamauga and Mission Ridge, losing eighty-two killed, wounded and miss-

ing in these last two battles. In October, 1863, the regiment was detailed for provost duty at Chattanooga and there remained till mustered out in September, 1865. It lost three hundred and fifty killed and wounded and fifty-eight by disease.
Company B, Seventy-fourth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, Captain James E. Sar- gent, was mustered in August 21, 1862. Captain Sargent was a Mexican soldier, be- came a saddler in Columbia City and was the second man to enroll for service in the rebellion in Whitley county. He was first lieutenant of the first company, resigning to raise another company, which he command- ed until the close of the war. He died in recent years at Fort Wayne. No more gal- lant man is credited to Indiana.
The Seventy-fourth pursued Bragg in Kentucky and fought the famous John Mor- gan. It occupied Gallatin, Tennessee, and was active in the Tullahoma and Chatta- nooga campaigns. It was one of the first regiments engaged at Chickamauga and one of the last to leave the field, where it lost twenty killed and one hundred and forty wounded and missing. It lost eighteen killed and wounded at Mission Ridge. It fought at Buzzard's Roost, Dallas, Kene- saw and Lost Mountain. At Jonesboro its brigade carried the enemy's works, captur- ing four pieces of artillery and seven hun- dred prisoners. It marched with Sherman to the sea, on to Savannah, Raleigh and Richmond, rounding out a remarkable rec- ord with a final march in the "grand re- view."
where it suffered a severe loss. Its action was such as to draw commendation for its steadiness and good conduct from Rosecrans. The enemy retreating, the regi- ment lay at Nashville till it moved in De- cember to participate at Stone River January Ist, 2d and 3d, 1863, making the final charge late on the third, driving the enemy from its cover, its colonel, Humphrey, being among the wounded. Lying at Murfrees- boro and Winchester it was ready for its brush with General Polk's command at Dug Gap, Georgia. Its division was first to open the battle of Chickamauga on September 19, forming after two days' engagement Rose- crans's rear guard on the retreat to Chatta- nooga.
Its charge at Mission Ridge brought compliments from General Thomas, it being one of the first to plant its flag on the ene- my's works. It pursued and captured a bat- tery at Ringgold, Georgia.
. It felt the heaviest fighting in the At- lanta campaign, including Tunnel Hill, Buz- zard's Roost, Resaca, New Hope. Dallas, Kenesaw, Chattahoochie, Peach Tree Creek. Atlanta, Utoy Church and Jonesboro. It pursued Hood for two hundred miles, re- traced its march and on to Savannah. In advance, March 19th, it was attacked at Ben- tonville, where it experienced one of the hottest little fights, losing thirty-nine men. It, too, marched before the national offi- cials and on every hand drew shouts of praise.

son. It turned the flank of Bragg's army at Trenton, Georgia; at Mission Ridge it lost one hundred and thirty-two men killed and wounded. In the Atlanta campaign it marched and fought for one hundred days.
Company D, One Hundred and Twenty- ninth, Captain F. M. McDonald, served creditably the last year of the war. Its se- verest service was in pursuit of and battles with Hood, losing heavily at Franklin. It was transferred to Moorhead City and after a fight at Wise's Forks did provost duty at Charlotte, North Carolina, till mustered out in August, 1865.
· John H. Slagle commanded Company G. One Hundred and Forty-second, which served in the battle of Nashville, where it did duty till July, 1865.
The One Hundred and Fifty-second was organized March 16, 1865, under Colonel Wheldon W. Griswold, Company I. Cap- tain John M. Albright, being from Whitley county. Its service was post and garrison duty in Virginia, Charlotte, Stevenson Sta- tion, Summit Point and Clarksburg till Au- gust 30, 1865.
The Fifth Indiana Battery, Light Artil- lery, Captain Peter Simonson, Henry Ran- kin first lieutenant, Alfred Morrison, second lieutenant, consisted of six guns and one hundred and forty-eight men, mustered in November 22, 1861, and December 26th was at Louisville, where it joined Mitchell's Di- vision, Buell's army. April IIth it occu- pied Huntsville, Alabama, capturing stores and three railroad trains. Two guns were put on platform cars, run ahead of engines for seventy miles each way on the Memphis & Charleston Railroad, destroying bridges in return. Only instance on record of re-
connoisance by railroad of artillery in ene- my's country. August 24th had six hour ar- tillery fight at Stevenson, where it was sent to protect removal of government stores, which was done under its cover. Fired six hours at Chaplin Hills and November 3Ist at Stone River lost heavily. The command- ing general reports: "Captain Simonson managed his battery with skill and courage, doing good execution. Lost two guns, but not till horses had been killed and guns ren- dered useless." At Chickamauga lost one man killed, nine wounded, two prisoners, twenty-six horses, two guns. At Waldron Ridge had to haul guns and caissons up hills with ropes, one hundred men to the gun, but made three and a half miles in one and one- half days. Held that commanding position till February 24th, when assigned to Stan- ley's division. During Atlanta campaign battery constantly . in the front-Tunnel Hill, Rocky Face Ridge, Resaca, Adairs- ville, Kingston, Cassville, Pine Mountain, Kenesaw Mountain, New Hope Church, Peach Tree Creek, Atlanta and Jonesboro.
While placing battery in position at Pine Mountain Captain Simonson was in- stantly killed and was succeeded by Captain Alfred Morrison.
Peters Simonson was a civil engineer and came to Columbia City to assist in the survey of the Pennsylvania Railroad. He was in command of all artillery in General Stanley's division. No braver man ever lived. One of the Rodman guns of this bat- tery fired the ball at Pine Mountain that killed the famous Bishop General Polk.
