Battery A, First Light Artillery, famed throughout Branch county as the " Loomis Battery," whose annual reunions are occasions attracting more than casual interest, the Loomis Battery Park with its memorial tablets and cannon being a conspicuous feature of the Coldwater public square, was organized soon after the commencement of the war in 1861. Its nucleus was an artillery company that had existed in the village of Coldwater for some time before the war. The enlistment at first was for three months, but it was soon announced that the battery would not be received except for a period of three years. Some returned to their homes, but the battery was soon recruited to full strength. Cyrus O. Loomis was elected captain, hence the popular name of the organization. The record of this battery is given on the large memorial tablet in the public square of Coldwater. Suffice it here to state that the battery saw its first action in West Virginia at Rich Mountain; was then transferred to the campaigns in Kentucky and Ten- nessee, its experience culminating in the fierce struggle at Chickamauga. The battery remained about Chattanooga until the close of the war, being mustered out July 28, 1865.
