COMPANY "D."


Two companies were recruited in Troy, Ohio, about the same time in the month of April, 1861, in response to the President's call for troops. On the Sabbath previous to leaving their homes, the men who had volunteered to defend their country's flag from desecration by traitor hands, assembled with the citizens of the place, in the Franklin Street Presbyterian Church. Farewell religious services were held, and addresses suited to the solemn occasion delivered by Revs. Mr. Cheever, Thompson, and others. The Troy Female Bible Society presented each man with a copy of the New Testa- ment, accompanied with appropriate remarks to each recipient. The services were very impressive, and were noi soon forgotten by any who were there.


On the 26th of April, 1861, the Companies repaired to Camp Jackson, were assigned to the Eleventh Regiment, and lettered respectively "D" and "H." From the records that have come into our possassion, we are enabled to gather the following facts in relation to Company "D." The "original members" of this Company date from the 20th of June 1861, the time of muster-in for three years. We know that many of the men enlisted in April, but have no official documents giving exact dates of enlistment Each man, however, can give his own record more fully than we are enabled to do, in the ruled pages inserted for that purpose in the back of the book.

COMPANY "H." .


The remarks prefacing the "roster " of Company D, will apply equally to this Company. From the records furnished us we learn that both com- panies were recruited about the same time, participated in the same public farewell services, and on the same train proceeded to the general rendezvous at Columbus.


The time of enlistment of the "original members" of H is the 22d of April, 1861; others joined at various dates between that time and the 20th of June, when the Company was mustered-in for three years. We obtain the following facts in reference to the service of the men from the Company books :


John C. Drury, original Captain. Resigned and relieved from duty December 19, 1861. In July, 1862, he received an appointment as Captain in the Ninety-fourth Ohio, under Colonel Frizell, and recruited a company for that regiment. With his company, Captain D. covered the retreat of the Ninety-fourth from the Kentucky river to Lexington, by his personal bravery inspiring the men with zeal and confidence under the most trying circumstances. He was instantly killed in the battle of Perryville. A good officer, brave soldier, genial companion and faithful friend, he was regarded with affection by all who knew him. Such was his esteem for Col. Frizell that he declined a Lieutenant-Colonel's commission in another regiment, and accepted a Captaincy under his old commander. His body fills & patriot's grave.
