The records of the Company as published by the Adjutant-General of the State, are very imperfect as to the original men, not showing, with few exceptions, when they were mustered out, who were killed, wound- ed, and who died. For what information I have in respect to the following, I am indebted to Samuel B. Sweet, of Fort Wayne. Mr. Sweet was but a few months past sixteen years of age when he entered the service. He was at first set aside by the mustering offi- cer, as too young, but his importunity and tears finally prevailed, and he was duly mustered in. His record as a soldier was an excellent one. He was in all marches and battles of the Regiment, was slightly wounded at Shiloh, Stone River, and Chickamauga, but was never
160
COMPANY C.
in hospital on account of sickness. After a service of four years and one month, he was mustered out with the Regiment. In 1866 he entered the employ of the Wabash railway company as bill clerk at Fort Wayne, and was promoted freight and ticket agent in 1874, which position he still holds .. In honor to the privates of the Regiment and the patriotic boys of that day, we present elsewhere a picture of this model citizen-soldier.
