As showing the interest taken by the Germans of Akron, in the recruiting of this regiment, we find in the BEACON of July 31, 1862, an announcement, that the Akron Liedertafel will give a "War Fund Benefit Concert" on the evening of August 22, the proceeds to be applied as a bounty fund to assist Lieut. Richard Feederle and George Billow in raising their company for the 107th regiment. Tickets $1.00 per couple.

Organized at Camp Taylor, near Cleveland, in August, 1862, the first war experience of the 107th, was in aiding the National forces to repel the threatened attack of the rebel General Kirby Smith on Cincinnati, in September. In November, the regiment was transferred to Virginia and assigned to the Eleventh. Army Corps, commanded by Gen. Franz Sigel, taking part in the battle of Chancellorsville. Being flanked in that battle, the 107th lost 220 officers and men, killed, wounded and missing. In the Fredericksburg campaign, in the battles of Hagerstown, Boones- borouglı, and other hard-fought contests in that vicinity, and in the Gettysburg campaign, the 107th took an honorable part, losing according to official report, 42 per cent of its men in the latter sanguinary struggle.

SINGULAR FATALITY .- As will appear elsewhere in this chapter, at a public meeting held at East Liberty for the purpose of encouraging enlistments, while the 107th was being recruited, in the Summer of 1862, the "copperhead" element of the neighbor- hood .undertook to break up the meeting, and made the most persistent efforts to discourage enlistments-six of the more

prominent offenders being taken before the United States Commis- sioner at Cleveland, and mulcted in fines and costs to the aggregate amount of about $600. Three of the younger men implicated in the affair, being unable to procure bail, were placed in "durance vile," and after sleeping over the matter one night in jail, concluded that the quickest and safest way out of the dilemma in which they had unwittingly placed themselves, would be to enlist, and all three at the same time enrolled themselves in. the 107th, under Capt. Feederle and Lieutenant Billow. It is but simple justice to the memory of the boys in question, to say that they all made brave and patriotic soldiers, as is evidenced by the fact that all three fell by rebel bullets, on the same day, two killed and one mortally wounded, falling almost side by side, at the: battle of Gettysburg, July 1, 1863.

CAPT. GEORGE BILLOW,-born in Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany, April 2, 1833; came to United States with parents in 1844, settling on farm near Sandusky, O .; at 17 began learn- ing wagon-maker's trade, finishing in Cleveland, later working in Akron and Tallmadge, until August 1862, when he enlisted as a private in the 107th O. V. I., a German regiment, of whose services a full account is else- where given, Mr. Billow, besides being promoted by regular grada- tion to the captaincy of Co. I, doing duty as brigade commissary, and on the staff of Gen. Foster, at Fernan- dina, Flå., and later as local provost marshal at Jacksonville. On being mustered out, July 10, 1865, Captain Billow returned to Akron, engaging in the grocery business with Mr. C. J. Kolb for about two years ; then took charge of the co-operative grocery, afterwards for a year and a half traveling and selling stoneware. In 1870, Capt. Billow moved to Hunts- ville, Ala., and engaged in cotton planting, but finding the speculation unprofitable, in April, 1875, returned to Akron. Here he established him- self as an undertaker, which busi- ness he is still successfully pursuing, also officiating a's Notary and agent

for ocean steamship transportation,. dealer in foreign exchange, etc. Sept. 19, 1854, Capt. Billow was mar- ried to Miss Mary . Fink, of Akron,. who has borne hin eight children- Anna, George W., Charles Fernando, Ida, Albert C., Jacob L., Edwin M., and Claire.

TRANSFERRED TO SOUTH CAROLINA .- In August, 1863, the 107th was transferred to South Carolina, from thence, in February, 1864, to Florida, and in December, 1864, back to South Carolina, where, and in Georgia, besides being for a while employed in provost duty, it took a lively hand in the closing scenes of the war, in that. vicinity, after the consummation of Gen. Sherman's celebrated march from "Atlanta to the Sea," being finally inustered out July 10, 1865, at Charleston, 480 men.

The Akron contingent in the 107th, so far as is now ascertain- able was: George Billow, William F. Bechtel, Philip A. Bierwirth,. Joseph Bimler, Joseph Decovey, Robert Deitzhold, Richard Feed- erle, Frederick Fischer, Christian Fischer, Peter Ginther, Theobold ..

While in South Carolina and Florida, Capt. Billow had a severe attack of typhoid fever and on his recovery was detailed as brigade commissary, afterwards serving on the staff of Post Com- missary Gen. Foster, at Fernandina, and still later acting as local provost marshal at Jacksonville, afterwards returning to Fernan- dina, where he remained until the close of the war.

THE THIRTY-SEVENTH O. V. I.

This was the third German regiment organized in Ohio, and was principally composed of patriotic German citizens of Cleve- land, Toledo, and Chillicothe, with liberal accessions from Summit and other counties in Northern and Western Ohio. October 1, 1861, at Camp Dennison, near Columbus, the regiment, 800 strong, was mustered into service and duly officered, armed and equipped, and placed in command of Col. E. Siber, an accomplished German officer, of large military experience in Prussia and Brazil, the

minor officers being selected from those who had seen service under the three months' call.

The regiment reported to Gen. Rosecrans in West Virginia, early in October, 1861, operating in the Kanawha Valley; in January, 1862, went on a raid to Logan, C. H., after hard fighting capturing the place and destroying war material-an officer and one private killed; March, 1862, in a raid on the Virginia and East Tennessee Railroad, lost one officer and thirteen men killed, two officers and forty-six men wounded and fourteen men missing, the National forces retreating to Flat Top Mountain. At Wyoming, C. H., in April, 1862, a detachment was ambuscaded and surrounded, but fought their way out with a loss of two men killed and one officer and seven men captured by the rebels; fought at Cotton Hill, September 11, 1862. After infinite marchings and counter-march- ings, scoutings, raidings, etc., the 37th participated throughout the entire siege of Vicksburg-sharing in its disasters and successes- from May 18 until July 4, 1863, with a loss of 19 men killed and 75 wounded, including its commander, Lieut. Col. Louis Von Bles- singh; and taking part in the investment and capture of Jackson, Miss., July 9-17, 1863, and the battle of Mission Ridge, November 25, 1863.

RE-ENLISTING AS VETERANS .- March 8, 1864, three-fourths of all the men re-enlisted for another three years, and were sent home on veteran furlough. Returning to the field, the 37th took part in the three days' battle at Resaca, Ga., May 13-16, 1864; Dallas, Ga., May 25 June 4, 1864; Kenesaw Mountain, June 9-30 (including the general assault, June 27th); successfully defended against Hood's first sortie from Atlanta, July 22, and second sortie, July 28, 1864; siege of Atlanta, Ga., July 28 to September 2,1864; Jonesborough, Ga., August 31 to September 1, 1864; marched with Sherman's invin- cible army from Atlanta to Savannah, encountering several sharp engagements with the enemy in South and North Carolina in the northward march of the victorious army; after the surrender of Lee and Johnston marching to Washington via Richmond, Va., and participating in the Grand Review, at the National Capital, May 25, 1865. After the review, the regiment was transported by rail, to Louisville, Ky., and from thence, the latter part of June, to Little Rock, Ark., where it remained until August 7, 1865, when it was mustered out, and transported to Cleveland, Ohio, where the men were paid off and discharged.

AKRON IN THE THIRTY-SEVENTH .- Charles Groff, or Gropf, Co. D, captured at Atlanta, Ga., July 22, 1864, returned to company Octo- ber 2, 1864-Veteran; Christian Koehler, mustered out with com- pany, August 7, 1865-Veteran; Benjamin Stroker, died at Walnut Hills, Miss., July 10, 1863; William Sampsey, discharged at Flat- Top Mountain, W. Va., for disability, July 1, 1862.

NINTH OHIO INDEPENDENT BATTERY.

This battery was organized at Camp Wood, near Cleveland, October 11, 1861, with Henry S. Wetmore, of Cuyahoga Falls, as captain, John M. Hinde, of Cuyahoga Falls, as second lieutenant. Captain Wetmore resigning December 12, 1862; John M. Hinde promoted to first lieutenant August 3, 1862, resigned December 5, 1862; Henry A. Tallmadge, of Hudson, promoted to second lieuten- ant August 3, 1862, to first lieutenant, September 11, 1862, resigned

NINTH INDEPENDENT BATTERY.

June 7, 1864; William H. James, of Cuyahoga Falls, promoted to second lieutenant, May 9, 1864, to first lieutenant, November 16, 1864, resigned January 21, 1865; George W. Church, of Hudson, promoted to second lieutenant, June 27, 1864, to first lieutenant, February 10, 1865, mustered out with battery, July 25, 1865.

This battery was one of the most effective in the service, taking part in the battle of Mill Springs, January 19, 1862, from a hill commanding the ferry on the Cumberland River, over which rebel troops were being transported, by its well-directed shots, at a range of nearly two miles, setting fire to the steam ferry-boat and compelling the speedy surrender of the rebel works. For this gallant service Gen. George H. Thomas, with the approval of Major Gen. Buell, presented the battery with two captured six- pound bronze guns, fitted out with captured horses and harness. The battery participated in the capture of Cumberland Gap; ill the retreat of the United States forces from the Gap, in September, 1862, the Ninth taking the advance in charge of a train of one hun- dred wagons filled with ammunition, having several sharp encounters with the enemy on the way, the men running so short of provisions as to be obliged to gather corn from adjacent planta- tions for food, grating it by means of perforations in the bottoms of their tin plates.

THE BATTERY RE-EQUIPPED. - Arriving at Wheeling, W. Va., the citizens fed and treated them with every kindness, and after arriving at Covington, Ky., the battery was reclothed and re-equipped with a complete new outfit of guns and horses, the Ninth now being recognized by the War Department as a six-gun battery and entitled to a full complement of officers. On October 19, 1862, sixty-six recruits were added to the battery, giving it a total of three commissioned officers and 156 men.

Going from Covington to Nicholasville, Ky., in December, after considerable scouting after John Morgan, and other rebel raiders, the battery went to Nashville the latter part of January, 1863, remaining in that vicinity, with almost daily sharp brushes with the enemy, until September 5, 1863, when it marched to Tullahoma.

A VILLAINNOUS PERFORMANCE .- December 23, 1862, four meni- bers of the battery, while on a foraging expedition, in Lincoln County, Tenn., were captured by rebel guerrillas, who tied the hands of their prisoners behind their backs, and then deliberately shot them and threw their bodies into Elk River. Two of the men not being killed outright by the miscreants, managed to loosen their bonds and swim ashore, one of them dying the fol- lowing day-the other, James W. Foley, of Hudson, being perma- nently disabled in the right leg.

This barbarous outrage having been duly reported at Head Quarters of the Army of the Cumberland, General Order Number Six, series of 1864, was issued, making an assessment on the neighi- borhood in the sum of $30,000 for the benefit of the families of the three men thus wantonly and inhumanly murdered.

February 22, 1864, forty-one members of the original organiza- tion re-enlisted as veterans, and with Captain H. B. York and First Lieut. Henry A. Tallmadge, were sent to Cleveland to recruit its ranks. April 9, 1864, the battery reported at Tullahoma, Tenn., with 151 men and five commissioned officers, in May starting for

392

AKRON AND SUMMIT COUNTY.

Atlanta with Gen. Sherman, and after the fall of that stronghold, participating in the march of that victorious military chieftain through Georgia, and from Savannah through the Carolinas, and from thence, on the final collapse of the rebellion, to Washington, being mustered out at Cleveland, July 25, 1865.

So far as now ascertainable, Akron's representatives in the Ninth Battery were as follows: Robert Cahill, Adam France, Charles Gifford, Martin Heiser, F. A. Patton, Frederick Potter, Caleb Williams, Thomas Williams, and Camden O. Rockwell, the latter being corporal and acting clerk of the battery, afterwards in 1864, being commissioned as second lieutenant colonel of Heavy Artillery, on the recommendation of the examining board at Nashville.

THE SIXTY-SEVENTH O. V. I.

After the return of the Nineteenth O. V. I, from the three months' service, 1861, Hon. Alvin C. Voris, then one of Summit County's Representatives in the Ohio General Assembly, enlisted as a private in the Twenty-ninth Regiment O. V. I., then being recruited by Major Lewis P. Buckley for the three year's service. Before the organization was completed, however, Governor William Dennison tendered to him a second lieutenant's com- mission with authority to recruit men for an entirely new regi- ment, the recruits secured by him finally being consolidated with others, raised in other portions of the State, into the Sixty- Seventh Regiment, with Otto Burstenbinder as colonel and A. C. Voris as lieutenant colonel.

The regiment was organized at Camp Chase and mustered into the service of the United States, December 22, 1861. With such zeal did the officers and men enter upon the task of pre- paring themselves for the arduous duties before them, that on the 19th of January, 1862, the Sixty-seventh was sent into the field in Western Virginia. After several weeks of desultory service in that vicinity, the regiment reported to Gen. Banks, at Winchester, Va., March .22, 1862, where, on the 23d, (Lieutenant Col. Voris meantime having been given entire command of the regiment), it had its first brush with the enemy, driving the opposing forces till past midnight as far south as Kearnstown.

Lying all night on its arms, the Sixty-seventh was the first regiment to engage the enemy, commanded by Stonewall Jackson, the next morning, and when the fight was fully on, being ordered to support a battery of artillery, under the impetuous lead of Col. Voris, crossed an open field, three-fourths of a mile, on a double- quick, exposed to the enemy's fire, forming his men on the left of Gen. Tyler's brigade, within point-blank range of a rebel brigade, protected by a stone-wall.

In the effort to so arrange his force that the stone-wall would not protect the enemy from his fire, Col. Voris, himself, was wounded in the right thigh, notwithstanding which he seized the colors from his hesitating color-bearer and, supported by two of his men, he started forward, and after two or three well-directed volleys, ordered a charge, resulting in throwing the enemy into disorder and compelling his precipitate retreat-one of the very few instances in which the intrepid rebel leader, Stonewall Jackson, was thus discomfited in his brief but brilliant military

THE SIXTY-SEVENTH REGIMENT O. V. I.

career. The Sixty-seventh lost in this battle, 15 killed and 32 wounded.

PERILS BY SEA AS WELL AS BY LAND. - After marching up and down the valleys and over the mountains, from the Potomac to Harrisonburg, from Front Royal to Fredericksburg, from Fredericksburg to Manassas, from thence to Port Republic, Alexandria, etc,, on the 26th of June 1862, the Sixty-seventh embarked on the steamer Herald, and the barge Delaware, to re-enforce the army of Gen. McClellan, on the James. During the night of the 30th, near the mouth of Chesapeake Bay, in the midst of a heavy storm and gale, the hawser, connecting the barge with the steamer, parted, leaving the barge at the mercy of the wind and the waves. Men, horses and camp and garrison equipage, were washed overboard and lost. It was more than an hour before the steamer, in the darkness, could make connection with the barge, which had, by this time, become an almost perfect wreck.

Col. Voris was himself upon the barge at the time of the catas- trophe, and to his coolness and good management was largely, if not wholly, due the rescue of himself and the survivors of his command, the Colonel himself losing all his military trappings, and-the last one to leave the wreck-boarding the steamer sans sword, sans hat, sans coat, sans everything, but shoes, stockings, shirt, pants and vest.

. THE ASSAULT ON FORT WAGNER, S. C .- Campaigning with the Army of the Potomac until the evacuation of the Peninsula the last of December, 1862, the Sixty-seventh was transferred to North Carolina, and thence, on February 1, 1863, to Hilton Head, South Carolina, and for several months endured all the hardships, dangers and privations of that prolonged siege, taking a com- manding part in the disastrous assault upon Fort Wagner, on the night of July 18, 1863, with a very heavy loss, Col. Voris himself being very seriously wounded in the side, necessitating his return home for "repairs."

AT BERMUDA HUNDRED .- At the end of 60 days, Col. Voris had so far recovered from the effects of his wound as to enable him to rejoin his regiment. In February, 1864, the regiment re-enlisted as veterans and returned to Ohio on furlough and to recruit. Returning to the front, the 67th joined Gen. Butler's forces at Bermuda Hundred, May 6, 1864. May 8, the regiment was sent to · guard the left flank of the Tenth Corps, while destroying the rail- road from Chester Station to Petersburg. The regiment, with a section of artillery, was stationed about eleven miles from Petersburg, on the Richmond turnpike, with instructions to hold that point at all hazards. On the morning of May 10, the rebels made a general attack upon them, but the 67th maintained a solid front against four successive desperate charges. A section of artillery inadvertently falling into the hands of the enemy, was recaptured by a portion of Company F. This 10th day of May, 1864, was both a glorious and a sorrowful day for the Sixty-seventh, for though gallantly maintaining its position against superior numbers, seventy-six officers and men were killed and wounded during the battle.

Col. Voris, still suffering from his Fort Wagner wound, at the close of the exciting conflicts of the day found himself so

394

prostrated that he sank helpless, and almost unconscious, to the ground, and had to be assisted to his headquarters. Gen. Terry complimented him and his command, by saying that if he had 10,000 such men as Col. Voris, and his 67th Ohio regiment, he could march straight into Richmond with them. For this day's work, also, Col. Voris was recommended for promotion as a Brigadier General of Volunteers.

WINNING A MAGNIFICENT TROPHY .- May 20, 1863, the 67th was designated, with other regiments, to recapture a portion of our lines which had fallen into the hands of the rebels, which was accom- plished by a charge in which the 67th lost sixty-nine officers and men, killed and wounded. In this engagement the rebel General W. H. S. Walker, was wounded and captured, Col. Voris relieving him of his sword, which he still retains as a trophy. August 16, at Deep River, four companies of the 67th charged the rifle-pits of the enemy with a loss of nearly one-third of their men, but cap- turing the pits before the rebels could reload their guns. During the balance of the Summer and Fall of 1864, the 67th was almost constantly in action, "and it is said," says Whitelaw Reid, "by officers competent to judge, that during the year it was under fire two hundred times" and that "out of 600 muskets taken to the front in the Spring, three-fifths were laid aside during the year on account of casualties."

IN AT THE DEATH OF THE REBELLION .- We cannot follow the 67th day by day, for want of space, but may say, briefly, that in the Spring of 1865, it was actively engaged until the final collapse; leading in the charge upon Fort Gregg, Petersburg, on April 2. Col. Voris, being the first Union officer to enter the fort, nearly one-fourth of the rebel garrison defending the fort being killed; Col. Voris and the remnant of his regiment also sharing in the glory of Appomattox, being rewarded therefore by a stinging wound upon his left arm from a flying fragment of a rebel shell.

POLITICO-MILITARY HONORS .- Brev. Brigadier General in 1864, and Major General in 1865, on the close of hostilities, Gen. Voris was assigned to command the politico-military district of South Anna, Va., and, with his regiment, to perform garrison and police duty; for six months or more the General performed the arduous and perplexing duties of the position so satisfactorily to all parties as to call forth the following commendatory notice from the Charlottesville Daily Chronicle, of strong rebel proclivities: "Gen. Voris has conducted himself in command here in the kind- est and most considerate manner, and has shown himself an energetic, faithful and just officer. He leaves with the best wishes of our people."

AKRON IN THE SIXTY-SEVENTH .- Owing to the fact that the 29th O. V. I. was being recruited here at the time, the most of the recruits furnished by Lieut. Col. Voris for the 67th, were raised elsewhere, two Akron boys, only, besides the general himself, being members thereof-Charles W. Beecher and Jacob Alexander Lantz, of Company C, commanded by Marcus M. Spiegel, a former merchant of East Liberty, with relatives and friends in Akron, promoted to lieutenant colonel of the 120th O. V. I., October 2, 1862, to colonel February 18, 1863, and afterwards killed in battle. Corporal Jacob A. Lantz lost his right arm at the battle of Win- chester, Va., March 23, 1862, and was discharged for disability June

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE OF GENERAL VORIS.

30, 1862; Charles W. Beecher was discharged for disability Sep- tember 16, 1863. 1

THE MOST WONDERFUL CASE ON RECORD .- The rifle ball by which Col. Voris was wounded, at Fort Wagner, split upon the ring of his sword belt, and as, on probing, only a small piece of the ball was found, it was supposed that the larger portion had glanced off without penetrating the body. As the years passed by, after the close 'of the war, and his return to his professional duties, the general began to experience an abdominal trouble, which finally developed into what was supposed to be an aggravated case of stone in the bladder, and finally, despairing of his life, unless he could get speedy relief, in the Fall of 1873 he submitted to a surgi- cal operation, when, to the surprise of the surgeons, his friends and himself, instead of a stone, three-fourths of an enfield rifle leaden ball, weighing an ounce and one-eighth, was extracted from the bladder. That the shot did not instantly kill him in the first place was simply miraculous, and that he could have carried that amount of lead in such a vital position for over ten years of a very active life, without fatal results, and finally to withstand the effects of so painful and critical an operation, not only evinces a remark- able degree of pluck, but a most vigorous constitution. It is supposed that the leaden missive, being checked by striking the belt-ring, lodged in the integuments of the upper portion of the bladder, gradually, by its own gravity, working its way through into the cavity of the bladder itself, from whence it was, happily, so skillfully and safely removed.
