"RECRUITS."
The following named men were, by orders from Department Head-quarters, considered as "recruits" at the final muster of the Regiment, and were retained, as they had not served three years. Gross injustice was done them by the retention, as they were assured when enlisting that they would be mustered out with the others. Eight of the number enlisted for service in the company, the balance were transferred from Company E, October 21, 1862, when that company was disbanded.

" Curley," a brown Spaniel, was presented to the company by Mrs. Shellabarger, of Dayton, in May, 1861. He was with the company through all the marches and battles in which the men were engaged. On the return home, was lost from the cars at Bowling Green, Ky., but was recovered after a month or two, and is now, June, 1866, at Osborn, Ohio. (Some of "Curley's" most important exploits will be found elsewhere).
The Muster-out Roll of this Company shows the aggregate (officers and enlisted men) at muster-in, in 1861, to have been 92; joined since 26 ; making a total of 118. Number discharged, 19; transferred, 8; died, 10; deserted, 10; making a total of 47, and leaving an aggregate of 71 at muster-out. There will be found 114 names in the foregoing list of members ; the other four required to complete the aggregate are officers temporarily transferred from other companies.
COMPANY "F."
This Company was recruited in Piqua, Ohio, on the 16th day of April, 1861, by Isaac S. Clark. So rapidly were the ranks filled, that Stephen Johnston immediately proceeded to Columbus to make sure that the Com- pany would be accepted. On his return to Piqua the organization was con- sidered complete after the selection of officers, who were commissioned by the Governor.
The night before the Company left Piqua, impressive services were held in the Green street Methodist Church, where a beautiful flag was presented by the citizens to the Company. The officers were also each presented with sufficient means to purchase their outfits.
On the 18th the Company repaired to Camp Jackson, and was soon assigned to the Eleventh Regiment, and until the expiration of the term of service, engaged in all the battles and important operations of the Regi- ment. It is a peculiar fact that, although prominently engaged in several of the hardest battles of the war, not one man of this company was killed outright, and only one mortally wounded, by the enemy.
It will be noticed that many men are reported as having enlisted on the 20th of June, 1861. This is a mistake, as nearly all such men enlisted dur- ing the month of May, and some as early as April. By the direction of a drunken mustering officer, all men who enlisted after the Company was first organized were placed on the roll as "joining" at the date of muster-in of the Regiment for three years, by this means cheating those men out of a month's pay and full credit for their time. There is no way now of rectify- ing the error, and we make this statement as an act of justice to the men.
