GREENE COUNTY, OHIO
27, 1898. It should be mentioned that Company D, which contained only one enlistment from the county, was not mustered in until July 8, 1898, and joined the battalion on the following day at Camp Alger.
Company A was recruited at Springfield, Company B at Columbus, Company C at Xenia and Company D at Cleveland. Company A had one volunteer from Greene county, Woodson P. Welch, who was mustered out as second lieutenant. Company B had three recruits from the county : Arthur A. Brown and Charles F. Mitchell, corporals; Charles Howard, private. Company D contained one Greene county volunteer, Frank Porter, a private.
Company C was recruited at Xenia and contained seventy-one men from Greene county, practically all being enrolled from Xenia. Wilberforce and Cedarville furnished a few. The officers, commissioned and non-commis- sioned, included twenty-two, the privates numbering forty-nine. The offi- cers were as follows: Captain. Harry H. Robinson ; first lieutenant, James W. Smith : second lieutenant, James Braselton ; first sergeant, William Lind- say; sergeants, Frank Washington, William G. Johnson, Henry Bowen and Wilson Hudson; corporals, John L. Broadice, William McElroy, James Smith, Edward C. Oglesby, LaVolta Phelps, James E. Maxwell, George E. Cowels, Harvey Underwood and Louis Smith; cook, Calvin Pearson; musi- cians, Arthur Allen and James S. Haggard; artificer, Hugh Travis; wag- oner, George McClure. The privates of Company C were Peter Alexander, Leon Allen, Lee Anderson, Wesley Anderson, William H. Anderson, Will- iam Archer, William Battles, Charles Bush, John Byrd, Charles W. Carter, William Coles, Curtis Hampton, James Daunton, James F. Davis, Tumes Femules, John W. Franklin, Tecumseh Goings, Effron Greenway, Orgon A. Guy, Fred A. Harris, Clayton Howard, Fred R. Howard, John P. Hudson, Edward Jackson, Thomas Jenkins, William Matthews, James E. McFar- land, Ellis McMillen, George A. Reed, Charles Robinson, James Robinson, Sidney Rodgers, Prattis Shorter, William A. Smith, William Steele, Paschal Tolbert, William A. Warrick, James H. Watson, Horace H. Wells and Grant Winslow.
All of the above named privates were mustered out at the close of the war. The following privates were discharged for physical disability during the progress of the war: Henry Bush, Bert Jamison, John Jenkins, Walter S. Logan and Hayes Valentine. Harmer H. Ellison and Charles L. Ladd died during their enlistment. There were twelve of the men from Wilber- force in the war : Emanuel D. Bass, now a practicing physician in Mexico, and captain of the Forty-ninth United States Volunteers in the Philippines, who became the first adjutant of the Ninth Battalion in the Spanish-Ameri- can War; Wilson Ballard, who succeeded Bass as sergeant major of the
663
GREENE COUNTY, OHIO
Ninth Battalion, and later became a first lieutenant in the Forty-eighth United States Volunteers in the Philippines; Charles Jackson, who succeeded Ballard as sergeant major of the Ninth Battalion; sergeants, Bert Taylor, E. P. Fifer and Charles Burroughs; Arthur A. Brown, corporal and in the band; privates, Woodson P. Welch, Charles Mitchell, Prattis Shorter, Will- iam Hamilton and Charles Howard.
After the close of the war the colored company maintained its organi- zation for a number of years. The company had been in existence for a number of years before the Spanish-American War, being known as the Martin Guards for several years, the name being given the company in honor of John P. Martin, a well-known citizen of Xenia. For various reasons the company was disbanded some time before 1898, but was later reorganized under the name of the Schmidt Guards, the new name being in honor of Edward H. Schmidt, a grocer of Xenia. It was known by this name locally when it was finally mustered out of the service on April 5, 1908. After the close of the Spanish-American War the company, as before stated, continued its organization, Edward C. Oglesby becoming captain. It seems that the reason for the disbanding of the company in 1908 arose from the fact that the captain had not made a proper accounting of the money which he had received from the state. It was charged, and subsequent investigation sub- stantiated the charge, that he had received the money from the adjutant- general of the state to pay the members of his company for their drill service, but had failed to turn it over to the men. Upon this charge being proved he was called upon to make good the money advanced by the state, which he promptly did, and, with this action on his part the company was mustered out of the service of the state on April 5, 1908. Company C is now a Dayton colored company.
COMPANY I ON THE MEXICAN BORDER.
In the summer of 1916 the United States seemed on the verge of war with Mexico, and so threatening was the situation that National Guard units from all over the country were ordered to Texas to be ready for action in case war should be declared. Ohio was called upon to mobilize its local militia companies, the order for the mobilization for Company I of Xenia being received on June 19. The company remained at Xenia until July 3 when it was ordered to Camp Willis at Columbus. It was there undergoing training until September 7, when it left for the Mexican border. It was sta- tioned in Texas until March 21, 1917, when it was ordered to entrain for Ft. Riley, Kansas, to be mustered out, but before reaching there orders were received to proceed direct to Ft. Benjamin Harrison, Indianapolis. Arriving at the latter place on March 26, it remained there only two days, being
664
GREENE COUNTY, OHIO
ordered to Kings Mills, Warren county, Ohio, for guard duty at the powder mills at that place.
On April 6, 1917, Congress declared war on Germany and on the fol- lowing day Company I was divided into five detachments and sent to as many different points. One detachment in charge of Captain Younkin was sent to Richmond, Indiana, where it performed guard duty. While here Captain Younkin devoted all of his time to securing enlistments for all branches of the military service, and it was the heavy work he did there in getting more than one hundred enlistments which undermined his health to the extent that he was later forced to leave the service. Another detach- ment left Kings Mills, Ohio, on April 7 for Lawrenceburg, Indiana; another went to Milan, Indiana; another went to Osgood, Indiana; while the fifth detachment was ordered back to Xenia to open up recruiting quarters for the company. An officer and two privates were sent to Xenia. The detach- ments in Indiana all performed guard duty, most of their attention being given to railroad property.
The entire regiment of which Company I was a part was ordered to assemble at Cincinnati on August 1, 1917, and on August 5 they were taken to Camp Sherman at Chillicothe to guard the barracks then in process of construction at Chillicothe. On October 10 they were sent to Camp Sheri- dan, near Montgomery, Alabama, where they were still stationed in March, 1918.
As has been stated, the company was in Texas from September 10, 1916, to March 21, 1917. During this time, it was engaged in drilling with the other companies of the regiment, and performing such guard duties as fell to its lot. None of the men set foot on the soil of Mexico, and not one fired his gun at the enemy across the Rio Grande. None of the boys from Greene county died, although William Fitzwater was shot through the head on the rifle range. Beyond suffering from a headache for a few days, he experienced no inconvenience from the wound.
The career of the company since August, 1917, has been uneventful. During the summer of 1917 strenuous efforts were made to raise it to the full war strength, but as near as can now be ascertained, only sixty-three men from Greene county are with the old organization. It has lost its iden- tity as Company I, Third Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and is now known as Company I, One Hundred and Forty-eighth Regiment, National Guard. Captain Younkin was in poor health during the summer and fall of 1917, but kept hoping all the time that he could regain his health and rejoin his company. While he was absent from his company. it was in charge of First Lieutenant Spahr. By the first of December, it was seen that the condition of Captain Younkin was not going to permit his return to
665
GREENE COUNTY, OHIO
his company within the near future. He was called before the medical board at Columbus for a physical examination, and received his discharge for physical disability on December 5, 1917. Captain Bunge, of Cincinnati, was transferred from another company and placed in charge of Company I.
The local draft board has no records concerning this company, but from other sources a list of the Greene county boys with the company has been compiled. This list follows: Homer C. Spahr, Russell Johns, Nathan S. Clark, Ralph Gordon, William T. Little, John R. Poland, Carl Jeffryes, William F. Shoemaker, William Fitzwater, Walter Nickerson, Howard W. Bishop, Jesse E. Hill, Jesse W. Jones, Charles Miller, Cam Merritt, Orville Merritt, Clarence T. Smedley, James Nick, Cecil Baxter, Ray C. Blangy, Jentry Cain, Raymond Carnine, Glenn Davis, Millard O. Frame, Logan Hol- loway, Samuel Hardy, Adam Hartman, Earl Hess, Nye Justice, Ray Leach, Carl McBride, Albert Millburn, John Moon, Edward Mullinix, Floyd W. Nolan, Elmer Pemberton, Niche Piete, Teddy A. Shanks, Charles Sullender, Homer Toner, Clyde Thompson, Jay H. Whitt, Glenn Wilson, Alvie Woods, Louis E. Young, John Townsley, Jordon Milburn and J. E. Pemberton.
Company I had been organized in 1900 by Charles L. Buell, and he had remained in charge as captain until June, 1904, at which time Harry C. Armstrong was commissioned captain. Captain Armstrong resigned in May, 1912, and on July 29, of the same year, Daniel G. Younkin was commis- sioned captain. When Company I left Xenia for Columbus, on July 3, 1916, it numbered ninety-two men, but a large number of these failed to pass the required physical examination at Camp Willis, and were sent back home. As a matter of fact, none of the National Guard unit of Ohio were able to secure enough volunteers to bring their organization up to war strength. Company I not only lost a large number of the original ninety-two by reason of physicial disqualification, but they also had to share the few members they had left with other companies of the Third Regiment.
The official roster of Company I, as it was organized for duty in Texas in 1916-1917, shows that it had only 35 men in all, 13 officers and 22 privates. Of this number 5 were not from Greene county. The roster of the company is as follow : Captain, Daniel G. Younkin; first lieutenant, Homer C. Spahr ; first sergeant, Floyd V. Miller ; quartermaster sergeant, Clark A. Beatty ; sergeant, Nathan S. Clark; corporals, Ralph Maulfair, William T. Little, Carl Jeffryes ; musician, Clarence T. Smedley ; cooks, Orville Merritt, Cam Merritt ; privates, Herbert Beal, Ray Blangy, Forest W. Dunkle, David Eagle, William Fitzwater, Ralph Gordon, John Gross, Samuel Hardy, Jesse Hill, Frank Hiserman, Napoleon Jillson, Jesse W. Jones, James Justice, Ray Leach, Eli Mckinney, Charles Miller, James Nick, Walter Nickerson and Elmer Pemberton.

GREENE COUNTY IN THE GREAT WORLD WAR.
At the time this volume goes to the press the United States is in the midst of the greatest war the world has ever known, a war which began between two European nations in 1914 and has since drawn more than twenty nations into its vortex. The immensity of this struggle baffles our comprehen- sion, but it is in our very midst in the spring of 1918-it is taking boys from Greene county every week. Naturally, the anxious inquirer may well ask for an account of the incidents which brought all this woe into the world.
On June 28, 1914, Ferdinand, Archduke of Austria, heir to the throne, was assassinated by someone, and it was alleged that the deed was commit- ted by a Serbian. The killing was immediately followed by the Austrian government calling upon Serbia for reparation and the granting of certain demands which were drawn up in such a manner as to be extremely humili- ating to that little country. Serbia gave every assurance that she would grant all that Austria asked, but even had Serbia offered herself as a gift to Austria it is doubtful if the war could have been averted. There is no question now that Germany was behind the whole scheme, and that nothing that Serbia could have done would have affected the future actions of Ger- many and Austria. And thus the war precipitated, the killing of this liber- tine was simply the excuse for the opening of hostilities, but the under- lying causes of the war are to be found elsewhere.
It is not the purpose of this discussion to enter into an explanation as to how and why the United States was drawn into this world-wide struggle. The story has been told and retold over and over again. It is sufficient to say that our country kept out of the war as long as it could consistent with national honor, but that when the time came when we must act, we were ready to accept the challenge. Nation after nation was brought into the struggle against Austria, Germany, Turkey and Bulgaria; beginning with Servia, they entered the war in the following order: Belgium, France, Eng- land, Russia, Italy, San Marino, Roumania, Montenegro, Japan, United States, Brazil, Siam, Portugal, Panama, Arabia, Monaco, Greece, Bolivia, Cuba and Nicaragua.
The unrestricted submarine warfare campaign inaugurated by Germany in the spring of 1917 will undoubtedly be set down in world history as the thing which finally led the United States to take up arms. President Wilson read his famous message to Congress on April 2, 1917, and four days later Congress declared war on Germany. As soon as this was done Congress began making preparations to take an active part in the struggle. Act after act was passed by Congress in an effort to put the country in a position to become a prominent factor in bringing the war to a close as quickly as pos- sible. A loan was authorized, very appropriately called the Liberty Loan,
667
GREENE COUNTY, OHIO
and within a very short time the two-billion dollar loan was heavily oversub- scribed. In the meantime, in order to provide for an army of at least a million men, Congress passed a conscription act which provided for the registration of all men of the United States between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one, inclusive. June 5, 1917, was designated as the day on which this registration was to take place and on that day nearly ten million men were registered. The number of registrants in Greene county was 2,244.
Another important act was the provision made for a series of camps for the training of officers, and two such instruction periods of three months each were held in the summer and fall of 1917. In January, 1918, a third officers training camp was opened, the candidates for commissions being largely those drafted men who had shown capacity for leadership. Greene county had a number of men in both the first and second camps of 1917, most of the men taking the training at Ft. Benjamin Harrison, Indianapolis, while others were at Ft. Sheridan, Chicago, and Fortress Monroe, Virginia. As near as can be determined the following represents the Greene county men who received commissions at one or the other of the training camps in 1917: Charles L. Darlington, captain, infantry, U. S. National Army; Thomas L. Fess, first lieutenant, infantry, U. S. National Army; Wilson W. Galloway, first lieutenant, Ordnance Department ; Allen J. Carpe, first lieutenant, U. S. National Army; George F. Stutsman, second lieutenant, U. S. Cavalry; Orris R. Jones, second lieutenant, infantry, U. S. National Army; Forest Dunkle, second lieutenant, infantry, U. S. National Army; Burdette Early, second lieutenant, infantry, U. S. National Army.
The Medical Reserve Corps has enlisted a number of officers from Greene county, the following list being furnished by Dr. W. A. Galloway, of the draft board: ' Captain, Lawrence Shields; first lieutenants, Benjamin R. McClellan, Harold Messenger, Frank Bailey, Harry O. Whitaker and Winfield Scott Ritenour, the latter being with the United States Sanitary Department. Clarence North Routzong and Eber Reynolds are first lieu- tenants in the Dental Reserve Corps. There is a provision whereby those students now in medical schools are listed separately, the idea of the gov- ernment being that they should remain in college and finish their courses, or at least attain such proficiency in their studies that they would be quali- fied for actual service. Those from Greene county coming under this class are the following: Halford Conwell, University of Cincinnati; W. M. Ankeney, Cleveland; Robert L. Crawford, University of Iowa; Herman L. Hunter, colored, University of Nashville; L. W. Turner, colored, Howard University; Charles Edwin Galloway, University of Chicago; Waldo H. Zeller. Edwin F. Gowdy is in a dental college.
A colored officers training camp was located at Des Moines, Iowa, and
668
GREENE COUNTY, OHIO
twelve men from Wilberforce received commissions from this camp in 1917. All of these men were students of Wilberforce University or had been stu- dents in former years, and while few of them came originally from Greene county yet they should be mentioned in this connection. Arthur Brown is a resident of Xenia. The complete list follows: Captain, D. K. Cherry and Abram L. Simpson; first lieutenants, Lawrence Simpson, Charles Reed, Arthur Brown, Samuel A. Hull and Francis Gow; second lieutenants, Charles S. Bough, Samuel Hutchinson, James O. Jones, James Scott and Charles . Robinson.
The third officers training camp at Funston, Kansas, resulted in nine- teen more men of Wilberforce receiving commissions: George Lee Gaines, William H. York, James Johnson, Morris Carter, Edwin Anderson, Coit C. Ford, Treadway Streets, Russell Smith, Harry W. Sheppard, Julius P. Matthews, Clay Hunter, Loregezo Burford, Grant A. Williams, George Clark, George Anderson, Theodore Davis, Ottoway Morris, Lawrence Under- wood and William Broughton.
SELECTIVE DRAFT IN GREENE COUNTY.
The number of men in Greene county who registered on June 5, 1917, was 2,244. From this number the county was asked to furnish 246 as its first quota toward the 687,000 men which the War Department originally contemplated inducting into some branch of the military service. No other nation in all the world's history has attempted to raise an army on the plan adopted by the United States in the summer of 1917. An army had to be raised-and raised on short notice. The experience of the past in this country had shown that it was impossible to raise a volunteer army of any size within a short time, and it was imperative that the country have an army of a million men training within as short a time as possible. After carefully considering the matter from every viewpoint Congress finally decided upon what is known as the selective draft. Following the registra- tion of all men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one as before stated, it was planned to draw all these names by lot, thereby insuring that no favors could be shown in the conscription.
Friday, July 13, 1917, was such a day as the United States had never before known. It was on this day that ten million men were to have their numbers drawn at Washington, and when No. 258 was first pulled out of the box by Secretary of War Baker this meant that every man in the United States having that number was to be the first in his district to be called for service. It is probable that newspapers issued more extras on this day than they ever had before in their history. And when the drawing was finally completed every registered man in the United States knew the order in which he was to be called for service.
669
GREENE COUNTY, OHIO
The first call of the President was for 687,000 men, and this total was divided among the states in proportion to their population, the states in turn to raise their quota by apportioning the number they had to furnish among their several counties. For this new army, most appropriately known now as the National Army, Greene county was called upon to furnish 246 men as its quota under this first call. And as this is being written the county has already more than filled its quota. This does not include a large number of volunteer enlistments in all branches of the military service, neither does it include the local militia company. But the local draft board has official recognition only of the men that come under the selective draft, and keeps no records of the scores of other enlistments.
GREENE COUNTY'S CONTRIBUTION TO THE GREAT WORLD WAR.
The first call for the selective draft came to Greene county on Sep- tember 6, 1917, twelve men being the county's quota. These men in the order of their draft number were as follow: A.
