r THE first contributions of Knox county to the
T War of the Rebellion were two companies, "A" and "B," which subsequently became a part of the Fourth Ohio regiment.
The people of Mt. Vernon well remember the wild excitement in the streets when the news came that Sumpter had been fired upon. The sound of those rebel guns did not die until, it reverberated in every hill and valley, and grated upon the heart- strings of every patriot in the land. Only those who lived in those days can fully appreciate the tremendous effect, the great excitement, the out- burst of patriotism, the mighty revolution in party and public feeling. The sound of the drum was heard daily on the public square, and the young life of the county sprang to arms as quickly and earnestly as if each household were in danger of immediate annihilation.
The first man to place his name upon that hon- ored roll of heroes that went out from Knox county was Mr. Israel Underwood, yet living in Mt. Ver- non. Sixty-three others followed quickly, and in less than twenty-four hours after the first call for troops flashed over the wires sixty-four men were ready to march to the defence of the imperilled capital.
There is a little inside history connected with the formation of this company. Lorin Andrews, the honored president of Kenyon college, had enrolled his name, among the first, as a private of this com- pany, ambitious to serve his country in any ca- pacity. The governor of the State, however, rec- ognizing his fitness for a high position, informed him that he should have a colonel's commission if he would raise a company. This promise Mr. An-

drews obtained while on a flying visit to Columbus. He was personally acquainted with the governor, and three months before Sumter was fired upon had written him, offering his services in case of war. He returned home with the intention of im- mediately raising a company, but meeting Mr. Un- derwood, with whom he was intimately acquainted, the latter made the generous offer to immediately turn over his company, then nearly ready to depart for Columbus, to Mr. Andrews. The latter hesi- tated for a time about accepting this generous offer, but finally did so and was elected its captain in place of Mr. Underwood. This company num- bered one hundred and three men, when on the twenty-second of April, 1861, it was ready to de- part for Columbus, and was styled the "Knox County Guards." Israel Underwood subsequently, through the influence of Colonel Andrews, became quartermaster of the Fourth Ohio. Upon the ap- pointment of Andrews to the colonelcy of the regi- ment, James C. Irvine became captain, Leonard W. Carpenter first lieutenant and F. A. Coates sec- ond lieutenant of company A.
Meanwhile Henry B. Banning, of Mount Ver- non, had been actively at work enlisting men, and the two companies were formed simultaneously, and were ready to depart for Columbus on the same day. Of this company (B) Henry B. Banning was elected captain; W. C. Cooper, first, and George Rogers, second lieutenant. Captain Banning's company numbered one hundred and thirteen men, both companies having more men than are al- lowed to an infantry company in the service. Thus it was that within a few days after the first call for troops two hundred and sixteen men organized and officered, marched down High street amid the cheers of assembled thousands, and boarded the train that was to convey them toward the scene of conflict, Thousands of people assembled at the depot to witness the departure of this, Knox coun- ty's first contribution to the great war. The stud- ents of Kenyon college, out of respect to their president, marched over from Gambier in a body to witness the departure. The crowd and excite- ment at the depot was beyond description. Mothers, wives, sisters and lovers, saying "good- bye" and "God bless you" with streaming eyes and full hearts, pale cheeks and trembling lips.
People were not accustomed to war, it was a new experience, and made a lasting impression upon the minds of all present. Not many months elapsed until the arrival and departure of volunteers was an almost daily occurrence, and was looked upon as a matter of course, and was borne with that grim determination that comes of familiarity with suffering. Captain Banning's company was styled the "Union Guards." Nearly every com- pany in those early days of the war, as soon as organized, received a name similar to the above, which soon, however, with much of the sentiment indulged in at first, passed away with the stern realities of war.
These two companies went into Camp Jackson near Columbus, where the Fourth Ohio was soon organized with the following companies:
A-Knox County Guards, Captain James Irvine.
B-Union Guards, Captain Henry B. Banning.
C-Delaware Guards, Captain James M. Crawford.
D-Hardin County Company, Captain George Weaver.
E-Given Guards, Captain James McMillen.
F-Canton Zouaves, Captain James Wallace. G-Hardin Company, Captain J. S. Rohinson.
H-Marion Company, Captain E. B. Olmstead.
I-Olentangy Guards, Captain E. Poweil.
K-Marion Company, Captain A. H. Brown.
Lorin Andrews was appointed colonel April 16, 1861; James Cantwell, lieutenant colonel, April 26, 1861; James H. God- man, major, April 26, 1861; H. H. McAbee, surgeon, May 2, 1861, and J. T. Cantwell, assistant surgeon, May 1, 1861.
Some of the officers above named subsequently attained to high positions, and acquired a national reputation. Henry B. Banning, now a resident of Cincinnati, became a brevet major general, as did also Captain James S. Robinson; and Major James H. Godman and Captain Eugene Powell became brevet brigadier generals.
As the history of the military services of the two companies from Mount Vernon is inseparable from that of the regiment, what follows is partly taken from Reid's "Ohio in the War" prefaced with the following sketches of two of the prominent men who went out with these companies, and who were both residents of Knox county at the date of enlistment.
Lorin Andrews was one of the earliest and costliest offerings of Ohio in the war. He was not permitted to develop fully his military ability, but there was no reason to doubt, from his known character, and his zeal in the distinguished posi-
. 289
HISTORY OF KNOX COUNTY.
tions he had filled, that as a soldier he would have reached as high a rank as he had already won in civil life.
He was born in Ashland county, Ohio, April 1, 1819. His early life was passed on his father's farm, and in obtaining a good common school education. He afterward took a collegiate course, and spent some time in common school teaching. He became an efficient and intelligent laborer in the cause of common schools in Ohio, and was prominent as a leader of the movement for inaug- urating many of the present excellent features of the present common school system. He was agent and "missionary" of the Ohio Teachers' association in 1851-2. In 1853 he was its choice for State school commissioner, and in 1854 he was its president.
At the height of his reputation and influence in the cause of general education, he was chosen to the presidency of Kenyon college. Bishop Mc- Ilvaine, in his funeral sermon, said of this appoint- ment: "The condition of the college demanded just the qualities for which he was so distinguished -the talent for administration, a very sound judg- ment, a prompt and firm decision, united with a special drawing of heart toward young men in the course of their education. All the highest expecta- tions of his administration were more than ful- filled."
Of his entrance into the military service the bishop says: "When the first call of the President of the United States for quotas of volunteer troops from the several States was made, he was the first man in Ohio whose name Governor Dennison re- ceived. He did it for an example.
He sought no military distinction. He led to the camp a company of his neighbors, expecting only to be allowed to lead them in the war. But his talents and character were appreciated, and he was placed in command of the regiment, the order and discipline of which soon became conspicuous, as also did his devotedness to the interest and com- fort of his men."
When in June, 1861, the Fourth Ohio was changed from a three months' to a three years' reg- iment, he was retained as its colonel.
His faithfulness in whatever position he was placed, united with his ability to master whatever he chose to learn, made him very soon an able and
efficient commander and disciplinarian. He went with his command to western Virginia, where he soon fell a victim to the exposure incident to camp life.
In the beginning of his sickness he could not be prevailed upon to leave camp, saying : "My place is with my men;" but as he grew worse he was re- moved to Gambier, August 29th, where, amid the scenes of his labors, in the best years of his life, and among his weeping friends, he breathed his last, September 18, 1861. Thus did the country, at the threshold of its great struggle, the State of Ohio, the county of Knox, Kenyon college, and the community, lose one of their brightest orna- ments, most noble patriots, and best of men.
General Banning will appear prominently in the narrative as it progresses, but it may be best to give here a brief sketch of his military career, that a better understanding may be had of what fol- lows.
Henry B. Banning, the grandson of the Rev. Anthony Banning, and son of James and Eliza Banning, was born at Banning's Mills, near Mt. Vernon, November 10, 1834.
His mother, an accomplished Christian lady, superintended his early education, and subse- quently he attended at the Clinton district school, the Mt. Vernon academy, and Kenyon college.
He remained at Kenyon but a short time, re- turned to his home and entered the office of Hos- mer, Curtis, & Devin as a law student, and was ad- mitted to the bar. When the war broke out he had acquired a good reputation as a lawyer, and was doing a good business in Mt. Vernon. In politics he was a Douglas Democrat.
His connection with the first call for troops has already been mentioned. In June, 1861, when the Fourth Ohio was reorganized for the three years' service, Captain Banning was re-elected captain of his company.
At this time Governor Dennison offered him a majority, in another regiment, but he declined it, saying his experience and military knowledge would not justify him in accepting the promotion.
He served with his company until the spring of 1862, taking part in the battles of Rich Mountain, Romney, Blue Gap (where his company captured a stand of rebel colors), Winchester and Cross Keys.
290
HISTORY OF KNOX COUNTY.
Upon the recommendation of General Shields, Governor Tod appointed him major of the Fifty- second Ohio. When he arrived at Columbus the regiment had gone to the field, and he was placed in command of the Eighty-seventh Ohio, a three months' regiment. At the expiration of the time of the Eighty-seventh, he was made lieutenant colonel of the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth, with which he served until the spring of 1863. He was then transferred to and made colonel of the One Hundred and Twenty-first regiment, upon the petition of all the officers of the regiment. He spent about two months drilling and disciplining this regiment, which had been taken into the battle of Perryville, in the summer of 1862, without dis- cipline or drill, and armed with unserviceable arms, had won no enviable reputation. During this time he made it one of the best drilled and best disci- plined regiments in the reserve corps of the army of the Cumberland. The glorious record of this regiment is given in full in another place in this work. Colonel Banning retained command of the One Hundred and Twenty-first during the Atlanta campaign, being at the battle of Buzzard's Roost, Resaca, Rome, Kenesaw Mountain, Dallas, Peach- tree Creek, and Jonesborough, as well as in many hard skirmishes. After the fall of Atlanta General Jefferson C. Davis, the commander of the Four- teenth corps, in his official report, recommended Colonel Banning for promotion to brevet briga- dier general, for gallant and meritorious service dur- ing the Atlanta campaign. General George H. Thomas endorsed this recommendation and the brevet was issued.
In the battle of Nashville he served with his old commander, General James B. Steadman, where he distinguished himself, and was brevetted major general.
General Banning was placed in command of the One Hundred and Ninety-fifth regiment and served in the valley of Virginia in the spring and summer of 1865. He commanded the post of Alexandria, Virginia, until December, 1865, when he was mus- tered out of the service to take his seat as a mem- ber of the Ohio legislature to which he had been elected from this county.
General Banning's promotions were all fairly won upon the battle-field, and his military record, by
the testimony of those who served under him is worthy of all praise.
The Fourth Ohio regiment was organized at Camp Jackson, Columbus, April 25, 1861. On the second of May the regiment moved to Camp Denni- son, and on the fourth of the same month was mustered into the three months' service by Captain (afterwards major general) Gordon Granger, United States army. A few days thereafter the President's call for three years' men was made public, where- upon the majority of the men signified their wil- lingness to enter the service for that period, and it was mustered in for three years, dating from June 5, 1861. The men, however, did not all enlist for three years, and Captains Banning and Carpenter; Lieutenants Lippitt and Gilman, and Sergeants Haller and Hill returned to Mount Vernon on re- cruiting service. Upon the reorganization for three years' service company A was officered as follows: Leonard W. Carpenter, captain; Foster A. Coates, first lietenant, and Israel Underwood, second lieu- tenant. Company B, Henry B. Banning, captain; John Green, first lieutenant, and A. W. Lippitt, second lieutenant. Lieutenant Underwood was subsequently transferred to the quartermaster's de- partment.
The following are the muster-out rolls of com- panies A and B, Fourth Ohio regiment, mustered into theservice June 5, 1861 :*
