was present on the Valley Pike, when Gen. Sheridan came to the front on his immortal ride.


"The first that the General saw were the groups Of stragglers, and then the retreating troops, What was done ? what to do? a glance told him both, Then striking his spurs, with a terrible oath, He dashed down the lines 'mid a storm of huzzas,


And the wave of retreat checked its course there, be- cause


The sight of the master compelled it to pause. With foam and with dust the black charger was gray ; By the flush of his eye, and the red nostril's play, He seemed to the whole great army to say, ' I have brought you Sheridan all the way From Winchester down to save the day.'


" Hurrah ! hurrah for Sheridan ! Hurrah! hurrah for horse and man !"


The regiment joined in the eharges that de- eided the victory, and at night eneamped with- out supper, on the field. In the fight of the 12th of November, between Custer and Rosser, the Second, engaged in pieket duty on the front, was driven in ; but, after a hard day's fight, the enemy was driveu from the field. On the 20th, the Second was hotly engaged with Early's cav- alry, at New Market, and, on the 10th of Decem- ber, the advauee had a slight engagement with Rosser at Moorefield. The Second repulsed the enemy that advanced against the First Brigade when Rosscr attacked the camp on the 20th, at Lacey's Springs. In the capture of Early's army, the Second took a prominent part. It captured five pieces of artillery with caissous, thirteen ambulanees and wagons, seventy horses and mules, thirty sets harness, six hundred aud fifty prisoners of war, and three hundred and fifty stand of small arms. In the last campaign against Lee, the Second eaptured eighteen pieees of artillery, one hundred and eighty horses, sev- enty army wagons, nine hundred prisoners, and unknown quantities of small arms. After this campaign, the regiment was ordered to North Carolina ; but, after the news of Johnston's sur- render, it was directed to report to Gen. Pope,

at St. Louis, arriviug on the 7th of June, 1865 ; but a mouth later proceeded to Springfield, Mo., to relieve State troops. About the 1st of Sep- tember, the order to muster out was received. The regiment was paid at Camp Chase, Ohio, September 11, and immediately discharged. During the war, it fought under twenty-three Generals; its horses drank from twenty-five rivers ; it campaigned through thirteen States and a Territory ; it marched an aggregate of twenty-seveu thousand miles ; participated in ninety-seven battles and engagements , served in five different armies ; " and its dead, sleeping where they fell, form a vidette-line half across the coutiuent, a chain of prostrate sentinels two thousand miles long. Even in their graves, may not these patriotic dead still guard the glory and the integrity of the Republic for which they fell ?" *


Four companies, enlisted in Medina County in the spring of 1864, were formed into the Seventy-ninth Battalion, Ohio National Guard. At the period of formation, the battalion was officered as follows : Harrison G. Blake, Lieu- tenant Colonel ; William Shakspeare, Adjutant ; C. B. Chamberlin, Quartermaster ; and the Captains were : H. Frizzell, William Bigham, O. P. Phillips and John Wolcott. This bat- talion left Medina for Camp Cleveland on the 4th of May, 1864. Here the four companies were re-organized into three, and the battalion thus formed was consolidated with three other battalions, one of which was from each of the counties Wayne, Holmes and Huron. The One Hundred and Sixty-sixth Regiment Ohio Na- tional Guard, thus created, was officered as fol- lows : H. G. Blake, Colonel ; Randolph East- man, Lieutenant Colonel ; Robert W. Liggett, Major. The regiment, after being mustered in, was ordered to Virginia on the 15th of May, 1864, and its duty while in the service consisted almost wholly in guarding forts, cities, and property belonging to the Government. It was


placed on duty at Forts Richardson, Barnard, Reynolds, Ward and Worth, with headquarters at Fort Richardson. No active service was done ; but, when Washington was threatened by an attaek from Early, the regiment stood at its guns day and night for about a week, ex- pecting au attack at any hour. An alarming extent of sickness prevailed in the regiment soon after the raid, in spite of every effort made to avoid it. The regiment was mustered out of service on the 9th of September, 1864. The enlistment of that portion of the men who went from Medina County in this regimcut, was largely through the efforts of Hon. H. G. Blake, one of the most capable and respected citizens ever a resident of the county. He was com- missioned Lieutenant Colonel, and was author- ized to open an enlistment office. Great en- thusiasm was manifested in the early stages of the war. On one occasion, a stalwart German went to Mr. Blake's office and enlisted. Mr. Blake told him that the Government would pay him $7 per month for his services, but the loyal fellow quickly replied : " I no want de money, Mishter Plake, I vite mit mine gountry."


At leugth it was found necessary, as in all parts of the country, to resort to the draft in order to fill the quota of men required from the county. Every effort was made in cach town- ship to avoid it, the citizens subscribing liber- ally to a common fund, to be paid volunteers at the rate of from $200 to $400 each. Hon. M. C. Hills was appointed Draft Commissioner for the county, and the first draft occurred October 5, 1862. Some 380 men were drafted, but quite a number furnished substitutes, aud several were pronounced exempt for various reasons, so that only 351 were dispatched to the field. Other drafts in the county raised the total number of drafted men to 500 or more. In addition to individual and local efforts for raising bounty, the County Commissioners offered $50 for each volunteer; but, as near as can be ascertained, this course was pursued

only for a comparatively brief period. The Commissioners were furnished with an indemni- fying bond by the eitizens, by means of which the former expected to be assured against loss for using the county funds as bounty. A spe- eial enactment of the Legislature soon author- ized the assessment and eolleetion of a tax to be used for bounty and other similar purposes ; and this was made to take the place, in the eounty treasury, of the funds that had been used by the Commissioners. The tender of bounty began with the One Hundred aud Third Regiment. It has been estimated that about 1,500 men went from the county to the field. It is impossible to aseertain the exact number. It is stated by as distinguished a writer as Whitelaw Reid, that the reason why the State was obliged to resort to the draft so early in the war was because of the evil tendeneies of the volunteering system adopted. Add to this the faet that the Ohio Militia, who assisted in driv- ing the rebels from West Virginia, though promised pay by the Government, reeeived none when they returned, and, seattering thus throughout the State with stories of the neg- leet, ereated widespread discontent, and ineited a determination over the State not to volunteer.


The first ery for sanitary aid eame to the eounty during the fall and early winter of 1861, from the troops in Virginia. Early in Septem- ber, a notiee appeared iu the Medina Gazette, that a meeting of the eitizens would be held in Phoenix Hall, September 18, 1861, for the pur- pose of organizing a soldiers' aid society. At this meeting, Mrs. H. G. Blake was elected President, Miss Fannie Tiehnor, Seeretary, and . various committees were appointed to solicit money, elothing or supplies in any form, for the army. Branch societies were ereated in almost every township. In addition to these efforts on the part of the ladies, male military committees were appointed in each township, and in the county at large, having in view the same humane object. Even the children were


organized into mite soeieties, and all were enlisted in providing suitable supplies for field and hospital. Supplies to the estimated value of $131.82 were dispatched to the sani- tary headquarters at Cleveland, about the 5th of November, 1861. Two weeks after the or- ganization of the society at Medina, the follow- ing artieles were sent to the Eighth Regiment, then in Virginia: 38 bed-quilts, 26 eotton shirts, 27 pillow eases, 56 towels, 23 old eotton shirts, 140 bandages, 13 woolen blankets, 20 pair soeks, 1 pair woolen wristlets, 10 new shirts, 10 pair drawers, quantities of lint, dried fruit, preserves, ete. Also, about 140 blankets were sent to Camp Wade. Through- out the war, these societies continued to do ex- eellent and extensive aid. Soon after the death of Lieut. Col. Herman Canfield, at Shiloh, his widow, Mrs. Martha Canfield, with several other ladies in the service of the Government, was instrueted to proceed to Memphis, Tenn., and organize a eolored orphans' asylum. This was done, and the asylum was eondueted until after the elose of the war. This lady is now in the service of the Government at Washing- ton, D. C. The service of two or more young ladies from Medina was seeured by Mrs. Can- field, under whose authority they labored at Memphis. Their names were Misses Hewes, Ballard and Cahill. The importance of the ob- jeet of this asylum at Memphis eannot be over- estimated, in view of the utter ignoranee aud helplessness of the eolored ehildren iu the South. The movement anticipated the eduea- tion of the blacks, and was a direet result of their emaneipation. Mrs. Aliee Niekerson, whose husband was a member of the Eighth Ohio, left the county and entered one of the Government hospitals, where she served for many months as nurse. Her reports may be seen in the files of the Medina Gazette issued during the summer of 1865. In this eonnec- tion it may be said, that, sinee the war, efforts have often been made to secure the erection of

a fine monument in the park at Medina, as a memorial of the brave boys who sleep in the "Sunny South." A more appropriate or last- ing tribute to their memory could not be paid.


In compiling the above imperfect record of the part borne by Medina County, in the last war, great care has been exercised, and yet numerous errors and mistakes have crept in, in spite of the writer, owing, mostly, to the ob- scure character of the material obtained, and the defective sources from which it was de- rived. And yet, there is safety in saying that all serious errors have been avoided, and that the history, as above given, is, in the main, substantially correct. The greater portion of the above record has been obtained from Whitelaw Reid's "Ohio in the War ;" and this work has the reputation of being a graphic and accurate history of the Ohio regiments.


Pursuant to a call, a number of those who had served in the late war convened at the court house in Medina, September 13, 1879, to form a soldiers' monumental association. In 1870-71, there was a movement on foot to have the Commissioners of the county submit a proposition to levy a tax for the crection of a "soldiers' monument," to the people; but the bill authorizing them to do so, introduced by Hon. Albert Munson, was defeated in the Leg- islature of that winter, which put an end to this project. The subject of securing an ade- quate memorial of the heroism and sacrifice of Medina County's volunteers, however, was not abandoned, and the meeting called, as noted above, met in the interest of this object. The constitution adopted is as follows :


OBJECTS.


For the purpose of procuring and preserving a rec- ord of the soldiers and sailors living in Medina County, who served in the army or navy of the United States, during the war for the Union, and, also, to perpetuate. the memories and friendships of the war by social


meetings and re-unions, we form ourselves into an asso- ciation, the name of which shall be, The Union Soldiers' and Sailors' Association of Medina County, Ohio.


OFFICERS.


The officers of this Association shall be a Presideut, Secretary, Treasurer, Chaplain, and one Vico President from each township of the county. The officers of the Association shall constitute its Executive Committee, the meetings of which shall he held subject to the call of the President ; and the Vice President shall be ex officio chairman of such committees as may from time to time be appointed in their respective townships, in the interest of the association.


The duties of the officers shall be such as usually pertain to like officers in similar organizations.


The Vice Presidents shall canvass their townships for the purpose of procuring the names and record of service of all soldiers and sailors in their townships, and they may appoint a committee of two or more sol- diers to assist them in this duty ; the names and record so ohtained to bereported to the Secretary of the Asso- ciation, to be recorded and kept in a book provided for that ohject.

ry ; R. M. McDowell, Treasurer ; Rev. Homer Thrall, Chaplain ; and, Vice Presidents, John Root, of Brunswick ; W. H. Williams, of Chat- ham ; Harvey Cutter, of Granger; William Bigham, of Guilford; T. G. Loomis, of Harris- ville; Samucl Fauble, of Hinckley ; A. Frey- man, of Homer, J. P. Waltz, of La Fayette ; W. A. Pelton, of Litchfield; J. G. Reisinger, of Liverpool ; O. H. McDowell, of Medina ; F. R. Loomis, of Montville ; Thomas Brannigan, of Sharon; Alonzo Miller, of Spencer; A. P. Steele, of Wadsworth; J. Wagoner, of West- field ; George Randall, of York.


The first re-union of the association was held at Medina, August 19, 1880. In the num- ber of old soldiers present, the attendance of citizens, and in all that goes to make up the in- terest of such an occasion, the meeting was a complete suecess. A salute of one hundred guns was fired at sunrise, and, as the day ad- vanced the streets, gay with flags and appro- priate decorations, werc crowded with the peo- ple coming in from all points of the county, sev- eral townships sending in large delegations. At 10 o'clock, A. M., a procession was formed and led by the Medina Cornet Band, followed


by Company K, of the Eighth Ohio National Guards, in marching order, the Sharon Band, one hundred and sixty veterans of the war, and a long line of eitizens in carriages, marched around the square, down Broadway to Smith road, and thence to Court street and back to the square again. A lawn banquet on the public square, an address, by Gen. L. A. Sheldon, of Lagrange, Ohio, and a business meeting constituted the exercises of the occasion. An election of offi- cers resulted in the retention of the old offi- eers, save where circumstances rendered a change necessary. The substitutions were, Rev. S. F. De Wolf as Chaplain, and Frank Fin- ley, of Brunswiek ; S. W. De Witt, of Harris- ville ; Daniel Musser, of Hinckley ; A. W. Dur- kee, of Litchfield; W. W. Munger, of Medina ; George Hayden, of Montville, as Vice Presi- dents. In the following list, we give the results of this association thus far. Of its complete- ness the writer has no knowledge, save that no reasonable expenditure of money has been wanting in assisting the efforts of the officers of this association to secure a complete and accurate list, according to the object set forth in the society's constitution.
