The Ninety-second Ohio was organized af Marietta, Ohio, during the months of August and September, 1862. It rendezvoused at Camp Marietta, then in command of Col. Will- iam R. Putnam. Nelson H. Van Vorhes, the colonel, reported and assumed command on the first of October, 1862. As an officer of volunteers he had been on active duty at the front since April, 1861, and while the regiment was organizing he was still on duty with Gen- eral Mitchell in Alabama. Benjamin D. Fear- ing. the lieutenant-colonel. had seen service; was at Manassas as a private, had served on the staff of Generals Slemmer and Crook in Virginia, while serving as adjutant in the Thirty-sixth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and evinced sokliership at Shiloh in command of one of the regiments of General Sherman's di-

vision. All the officers were gentlemen of ex- perience and courage.

The men were the pick of the district -- young, active, quick to learn, eager to do their best at all times, and proud of the good name and character of their regiment. The first service performed was before the colonel, lieu- tenant-colonel or major had reported or the regiment had been mustered. Adjutant Put- nam, with Companies A, B and D, was or- (ered to move to Gallipolis, Ohio, and garrison that post at the time the Rebels were driving Lightburn out of the Kanawha Valley. While there they made two expeditions into Virginia. These companies soon after rejoined, when the regiment, numbering 949. rank and file, was mustered into the United States service, uniformed, and armed with Austrian rifled muskets.

On October 7. 1862, the regiment was or- dered to Point Pleasant, West Virginia, and made a part of the brigade of Colonel Gilbert. It took part in the expedition up the Kanawha under General Cox, before whom the Rebels retreated and were finally, after some skir- mishing, driven beyond the mountains.

At Gauley Bridge it was transferred to brigade commanded by Gen. Hugh Ewing, and went into winter quarters, building log huts at Loupe Creek, a few miles below Kanawha Falls. They were permitted to enjoy these comforts but a short time, when they were or- (lered to join the brigade of Gen. George Crook and were stationed at Tompkins' farm on New River, which was at that time the outpost of the army of the Kanawha Valley.

After the dark days of December, 1862, when the country struggled under the dis- couragements of Fredericksburg and the seem- ingly indecisive battle of Murfreesborough, General Crook's brigade were hurriedly taken by transports to Nashville, Tennessee. The trip occupied over 14 days and was attended with many hardships on account of the crowd- ed condition of the boats. Remaining at Nashville about three weeks the regiment was ordered to proceed to Carthage. Tennessee. The trip occupied a week, and in no way was it

more comfortable than our journey to Nash- ville. Many of the men were compelled to sleep in the holl, full of foul air, and became impregnated with disease which soon devel- oped itself.

Those two months spent at Carthage will never be forgotten. Daily, for weeks, one or more burial parties fired the last salute over the grave of a comrade as he was committed to mother earth, in a town where no one sympa- thized with them, and where each grave was counted as taking away one more of their ene- mies. In less than two months over ninety men were buried.

The colonel, N. 11. Van Vorhes, was here compelled to resign on account of sickness, and Lieutenant-Colonel Fearing was promoted to colonel. Major Smith having resigned, Adjutant Putnam, by request of the officers, was made major, and after promotion of Col- onel Fearing, was made lieutenant-colonel.

Health once restored, the regiment was or- dered south of the Cumberland and joined with the brigade the Army of the Cumberland at Murfreesborough. The brigade, which was still under the command of General Crooks, was assigned to General Reynolds' division, Fourteenth Army Corps.

The regiment moved from Murfreesbor- ough on the 24th of June, 1863. supporting Wilder's mounted infantry-one of the bri- gades of Reynolds' division. At Hoover's Gap the enemy were met and driven back, as they were pressing Wilder and attempting to re- cover the ground he had taken.

The march over the table lands of Ten- nessee, through a continuous rain-rains 21 days in succession-bivouacking nightly in mud so deep and soft as to make it necessary to cut boughs to lie on. Mouldy crackers and musty coffee, wet sugar and some bacon, are pleasant themes for the survivors to dwell

and better supplies and full of hope, the regi- ment camped at Big Springs, Tennessee, rest- ing and enjoying the change as only tired sol- diers can.

While here, Gen. John B. Turchin, the old Hungarian soldier, assumed command. His vigorous efforts to secure green corn, blackber- ries, and fresh vegetables, speedily eradicated all traces of scurvy and disease contracted at Carthage, and put the regiment in good condi- tion, mentally and physically, for active work. They bivouacked by the springs at University Place and foraged in the valleys, moving over the mountains and through Sweeden Cove, stopping long enough to gather the green corn and ripe peaches.

On the end of September, the regiment crossed the Tennessee River, at Shell Mound, in flatboats. On the 3rd it led the advance over Sand Mountain, and on the next day it moved to Trenton, Georgia. From here the brigade crossed the Lookout ranges, overcom- ing the seemingly impossible obstacles in so doing, and descending the Coopers Gap into McLemore's Cove, passed up the valley into Catlett's Gap.

While here quite a sharp skirmish occurred and the regiment held the head of the gap. Skirmishing continued here for parts of two days, and the Ninety-second was busily en- gaged.

On September 18th a night march was made (one that will never be forgotten by those participating in it ) to Chickamauga. The regi- ment engaged the enemy on that bloody field. under Turchin, on the 19th and 20th, and formed a part of the rear guard that saved the army. On the 19th, early in the day, Colonel Fearing was wounded and carried from the field, the command devolving upon Lieutenant- Colonel Putnam. Lieutenant Merrill was wounded severely, captured and sent to our lines under a flag of truce.

On Sunday afternoon Turchin's brigade made the charge necessary to open connection with Granger, coming to reinforce General Thomas, who gave the command in person to the Ninety-second to lead the charge, which was made left in front. This charge is de-

scribed by Van Horn in his "Army of the Cumberland :"

The charge was made with great vigor, and the enemy was completely routed. Turchin's brigade drove this daring force entirely beyond Baird's left, capturing more than two hundred prisoners. This brigade * *

* was posted by General Thomas, on the road leading through the ridge to the Dry Valley roads, to hold the ground, while the troops from the right and leit passed by.

In this battle Lieut. David E. Putnam, ad- jutant, was wounded and discharged on ac- count of wounds, and George B. Turner, or- derly sergeant of Company F, was promoted' to hrst lieutenant and made adjutant. Capt. John Brown was mortally wounded, and soon after the battle died; also, Lieut. G. T. Okey received a dangerous shell wound. W. B. Whittlesey, second lieutenant of Company F, was promoted to first lieutenant, and on resig- nation of Captain Thorniley, of the same com- pany, was promoted to captain in June, 1863; hence was in command of his company in this battle.

The regiment returned to Chattanooga, living in dog tents, with cold, wet weather, insufficient rations, etc., yet bore all with pa- tience and fortitude. They made several reconnoissances and were ready for duty on a moment's notice. They formed a part, with Hazen's brigade, of the forlorn hope sent to open connection with General Hooker's army corps, who were coming to the relief of the beleaguered and nearly starved army. As Gen- eral Turchin described it: "Chattanooga was surrounded by two lines of fortifications, one built by brave men and one composed of dead mules, starved to death for their country's cause."

A part of the regiment floated past Lookout Mountain in scow boats, and the rest marched across Moccasin Point, and were ferried over as the boats came down. The movement was so carefully planned, and executed with so much skill, that the enemy was taken completely : by surprise, and perfect success crowned the | effort. The army was revictualized and rein- forced.

About November 20th the preliminary

movement for the capture of Missionary Ridge commenced. The Ninety-second, with Tur- chin's brigade, had been for some time expect- ing orders to assault, being in position for sev- eral days. On the afternoon of November 25th, the final asault was made. Captain Mid- dlesworth, of Company F. in connection with the skirmishers of the Thirty-sixth and Elev- enth Ohio, cleared the rifle-pits at the foot of the ridge. The brigade was ordered forward at double quick, and swept every obstacle be- fore it. This charge has often been described. Gen. John C. Breckenridge, who commanded the enemy's lines in front of this brigade, told the writer that the audacity of the attack-the sight of the steadily moving lines, silent but terrible in its advance-so demoralized his men that they became unmanageable, and, at last, gave way, not until there was almost a hand- to-hand encounter near the summit.

About half way up the hill the command- ing officer, Lieutenant Putnam, fell wounded. Soon thereafter Captain Whittlesey was shot through the heart. but said to his men, "Go on. I'm killed," and breathed his last. The men went on, sweeping over the top, in com- pany with the Thirty-sixth, while the enemy retreated down the side.

The summit once gained, no rest was found by the breathless and worn column, as a force of the enemy came hastily from the left to re- inforce their fleeing comrades. Here, while rallying the men for this assault. Adjutant Turner received his death-wound. being struck in the head by a large minie ball. He lived for some days, however, but sank away.

By the death of these two young men, Washington County offered up her choicest material, and their funerals ( on the same day) will ever be remembered. Both were brave and faithful officers. Lieutenant Townsend, of Athens county, was also killed, who was an excellent officer. The loss of the regiment was, in this assault, 33 per cent. of the officers and to per cent. of the men. They took many prisoners and two guns.

The next day the regiment. under command of Captain Wheeler, started in pursuit of the

enemy and returned soon to Chattanooga. Re- maining here until February, 1864, when, un- der command of Capt. J. C. Morrow, Major Golden having resigned, Fearing and Putnam both absent from wounds, they started south toward Dallas. They were engaged at Rocky Face Gap, losing heavily, some of the wounded being buried in the woods. From here they moved to Ringgold Gap, doing out-post duty. Here Captain Morrow was promoted to lieu- tenant-colonel, vice Putnam, mustered out on account of wounds. Colonel Fearing returned in March, and Lieut. B. B. Stone, of Company G, who was promoted from orderly sergeant, was made adjutant. The regiment took an active part in that campaign through Dallas. On the 27th of July, they were in line of At- lanta. During August and September the regiment was in the neighborhood of Atlanta, taking part in the charge at Jonesborough, Georgia. On the 4th of October, they broke camp and joined in pursuit of Hood, crossing : the Chattahoochie.

At Kingston preparations were made for the "march to the sea" under Sherman, the sick provided for in hospitals, baggage sent to the rear or destroyed, etc. On the 16th they started. This march has been fully described, and no attempt to do so is needed here. They met the enemy at Bentonville, North Carolina, March 21st. Here Colonel Fearing, who was in command of a brigade, having been brevet- ted brigadier general, was severely wounded in the hand, necessitating the amputation of a por- tion of it. Passing through Goldsborough, Durham Station, and Raleigh, North Carolina, they moved onward through Virginia, reach- ing Washington on May 19th and taking part in the ever memorable grand review of May 24th. Having orders to be mustered out of service, it was transported to Columbus, Ohio, and on the roth of June, 1865, the Ninety- second Volunteer Infantry ceased to exist.

Their first colors were literally worn and shot into shreds, the second set, now in the flag room at Columbus, are mute witnesses of their regiment's history as they bear on their folds in letters of gold these names : Hoovers

The Silver Grays.

Among the many military organizations of Washington County for home defense, none was more self-sacrificing and patriotic than the one we have now to consider. The Silver Grays were among the very first to step for- ward and form in martial array at the begin- ning, and their moral influence in the com- munity was great. Their appearance on pa- rade, marching and going through the manual of arms was inspiring, and if a man had any of the martial spirit in him, the sight of these venerable men keeping step to the music of the Union was sure to arouse it.

Two of the members, William Warren and Junia Jennings, prepared the following account of the company in 1866, and we give it substan- tially as we find it :

Monday forenoon, April 22. 1861. was the time of the departure of the first company of volunteers from Marietta to aid in putting down the Rebellion, the Union Blues,-over one hundred men-under command1 of Capt. Frank Buell. It was an affecting occasion. such as was never before known in Washington County, and may never be again. Strong men's nerves gave way, and the patriotic tear and firm resolve were seen upon every face. There was a brief speech by George P. Buell. Esq., and amid cheers, the firing of cannon. and the waving of flags, the volunteers embarked upon the Muskingum packet from the common in front of the Congregational Church, thousands of people being assembled.

The citizens then repairel to the Court House and organized a meeting to take into consideration the state of public affairs. Hon, William A. Whittlesey, the mayor of Marietta, being called to the chair, secretaries and committees were appointed. Col. William West. then in his 66th year, arose and said :

"Mr. Chairman, I hold in my hand a resolution which I wish to offer for the consideration of this meeting. Such is the excitement of the occasion that I am not in the situation to either do justice to myself or the subject I wish to present; therefore, without comment. with the indulgence of the house. I will sub- mit the resolution."

Silence reigned throughout the crowded house, and the colonel with a voice tremulous with the deep feel- ing that pervaded all prevent, read :

"Resolved, That we, the citizens of Washington County, whose ages are sixty and upwards. for the protection of our homes, our fire-ides, and our country's

liberties, form ourselves into a military organization, to be called and known as the Silver Greys, of Wash- ington County."

A hundred earnest voices seconded the motion for its adoption, and it was carried with a unanimons shout, and heers for the Silver Grays.

A rush was made to be first to enroll their names. James Dutton, being a little lame, had started first and had his name first d wn. followed by William Warren, second . Colonel West, third: Thomas Porter, fourth ; Junia Jennings, fifth : and so on. Subsequently, men of 45 years and upwards were enrolled.

It was resolved that each member of the company should supply himself with ammunition. The coni- missioned officers had red sashes, the rank and file, blue. A uniform was agreed upon, but circumstances did not favor its procurement. They were armed at once. George W. Barker. William Warren, and F. Wheeler were appointed a committee to ask the County Commissioner, to procure a flag to be raised on the Court House.

Through the exciting days of 1862, especially when the Rebels pressed upon the border everywhere through- out the whole line, in August and September, the Silver Grays were out in full force and vigor. In the spring of 1863 their guns were taken by authority for use by a company of younger men, and that ended the Silver Grays, who, it is justice to say, did all the duties they were called upon to perform, and did them well. That they would have done excellent duty in repelling in- vasion, had it ever occurred. there is no doubt. Several of the members were deaf, and these were compelled to watch their comrades' motions to know what order the captain gave. Several used canes.

Their motto as set forth in the first article of their constitution was: "The Union, the Constitution, and the Flag of our Country, for the sustaining of which we pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."

ARTICLE 4. The company shall meet for exercise or other duty at such time and place as shall be determined on by the company on Saturday of each week at 2 P. M., provided that the captain or any other commissioned officer of our company is hereby empowered and re- quired in cases of danger or emergency to cause a fire bell to be rung, which shall be a signal for the company to assemble at the court house at a minute's warning. Col. William West was first elected captain, but declined : Maj. George W. Barker was then elected, but his time of service was short. For a time they met every evening at five o'clock, for drill.

May 11, 1861, three weeks after the first organiza- tion officers were elected by ballot, who continued to the end. as follows :

COMMISSIONED OFFICERS.

Captain Daniel P. Bosworth, First Lieutenant Charles J. ShepparJ. Second Lieutenant Rufus E. Harte.

The "Pony Section."

During the war Marietta was prolific in fifers and drummers. The first to enter the service were those who joined the Eighteenth Ohio Volunteer Militia, in the three months' service.

Ebenezer Corey and Louis Fourgeres were the musicians of Company B, the old Union Blues. After the Eighteenth entered Vir- ginia they were distributed along the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad as guards. Ebenezer Corey was appointed drum major of the Eighteenth June 6, 1861, and soon went to Marietta to re- cruit a martial band.

This resulted in the enlistment of nine young men, most of whom knew nothing of the use of fife or drum, but who became quick learners. On June 17, 1861, they started for Virginia, learning the notes on the way. They were-Charles Holden, George K. Jenvey, William Jenvey. John Tenney. Henry Lang- ley. Frank R. Brenan, Fred Regnier. James

Judd, and Henry Corey, and others, among whom were Manly Warren, Louis Fourgeres, and Stephen Maas, from Washington County ; they made the "Pony Section," so called from their size and age.

At Bridgeport they drilled and practiced- result a few tunes and sunburnt ears. They then went to Clarksburg, still training for the war, when they, with the whole regiment, were transferred to Oakland, and made a fruitless march over the mountains under General Ilill, after General Garnett's Rebel forces. As the time of the regiment had expired, one hot July day they came back to Marietta and awaited patiently their discharge, with hardly a taste of hard service.

Their martial strains awoke many respon- sive chords in the hearts of the patriotic peo- ple, and the band was invited to take a trip up the Muskingum to Zanesville. Every cour- tesy was shown them along the route, and they awakened the valley by their ringing music. At Zanesville and Beverly they were treated with especial favor.

On their discharge, five enlisted in Buell's Battery: three with the major in the Thirty- sixth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, in a fine band. which timed the steps of many brave ones in their march to duty and victory : one went into Huntington's Battery, and one into the Second West Virginia Cavalry. All did brave duty through the war. One of them died in the service-Charles A. Hoklen. Such was the "Pony Section."
