He was commissioned chaplain of the 62d O. V. I., and was with the com- mand until it was mustered out of the service.
COMPANY F, 77TH REGIMENT.
In the fall of 1861, by the indefat- igable exertions of Colonel Hildebrand, the 77th Regiment was recruited and organized at Marietta, and mastered into service about the 1st of February, 1862.
Immediately after organization, and before it was fully equipped, the regi- ment was ordered to Camp Dennison. On the 17th of February, 1862, it was ordered to report to General Sherman, at Paducah, and on the 20th was assigned to Sherman's Division of Grant's army, and with the 53d and 56th formed the 3d Brigade under Col- onel Hildebrand. On the 9th of March the Division joined an expedition under Major-General F. C. Smith to the mouth of the Tennessee River. thence down the Mississippi, disembarking at Pittsburg Landing. On the 18th of March moved out two miles from the Landing and went into camp at Shiloh Church. On the 1st of April the regi- ment was ordered up the river to East- port, Miss., to ascertain the force and position of the enemy at Iuka, where it had its first skirmish, and returned to Pittsburg in time to take part in the battle of the 5th and 7th of April, 1862, in which the regiment occupied a prom- inent position during the two entire days, only leaving the field on the 7th when night ended the fight. On the
Sth the regiment was in the advance in pursuit of the retreating foe, during which time they were charged by For- rest's cavalry; but, fortunately, by the coming up of the 53d Ohio, the rebels were driven back. In this action the regiment numbered only 250 men and 13 officers. The entire loss during the three days in killed, wounded and miss- ing was 220.
The regiment was with Sherman during the siege of Corinth; after- ward encamped in Fort Pickering, at Memphis, in charge of military pris- oners; left Memphis on the 31st of July, 1863, with a full complement of men, and was assigned to the 3d Brigade, 3d Division of Steel's Arkansas expedition. On the 23d of December, 1863, the regi- inent reënlisted and left for Columbus, and after thirty days' furlough was or- dered to Little Rock, Arkansas, thence to Shreveport, La., and was engaged in the skirmish in the vicinity of Arka- delphia.
On the 22d of April, 1864, the 77th, under Captain McCormick, with two other regiments, commanded by Lieu- tenant-Colonel Drake, of Iowa, was detatched to escort a large train of cars to Pine Bluff for supplies. On the 25th, at Mark's Mills, the escort was attacked in detail by General Fagan's rebel Division. First the two regiments under Colonel Drake, though making a splendid defense, were overpowered before Captain McCormick, three or four miles in the rear, could come to his assistance. When the 77th came up it went into the fight and for two hours kept up the unequal contest, but in vain; and almost the entire number took up their march farther South, and on the 15th of May reached the prison pens called Camp Ford, near Tyler, Texas,

where they remained ten months before they were exchanged.
Those not captured formed a company and took part in a fight at Jenkin Ferry, on the Sabine River, in which they lost more than half their number in killed and wounded.
After their exchange (February, 1865) the regiment, under Colonel Steel, was transferred to the Army of the Gulf; was at the capture of Mobile, thence to the Rio Grande and encamped at Brownsville, Texas, from August, 1865, until March 8, 1866, when it was mustered out of service, and reached Columbus on the 23d, numbering 17 commissioned officers and 348 men. Thus the regiment was the advance and the rear guard of the army.

COMPANY E, 78TH REGIMENT.
The recruiting of this company was commenced about the Ist of November, 1861, by Rev. Thomas M. Stevenson, and others for the 78th Regiment, then being formed at Zanesville, which was afterward organized with M. D. Leggett, colonel. Dr. J. S. Reeves went as sur-

geon to the regiment, and remained in the service until the regiment was mus- tered out.
On the 23d of December, 1861, the company met and elected Thomas M. Stevenson, Captain ; W. W. McCarty, first and Cyrus M. Roberts, second lieu- tenants; A. W. Stewart, first orderly ; Dr. E. G. Coulson, steward of the hos- pital.
The company went into camp on the 25th of December with ninety-four as strong, brave and reliable men as ever left the county. Captain Stevenson had for a number of years been superintendent of the public schools of McConnelsville, and had the summer previous been licensed to preach. Lieu- tenant McCarty had long been a resi- dent of McConnelsville, and had filled many of the principal offices of the county, which made him well acquainted in the county and gave him an influence that caused many worthy men to rally for the defense of liberty and the flag. Lieutenant Roberts had long been en- gaged in merchandising, and, being a young man of good character, influenced many young men to imitate his example and lay down all that was dear upon their country's altar. No company in the regiment did more efficient service, and none suffered more upon the field of battle or from hardship and exposure.
On the 11th of February, 1862, the regiment left for Fort Donelson, where it arrived on the 15th and took position on the field of battle too late to take part in the action yet in time to take charge of the rebel prisoners.
With the regiment we might follow Company E through its devious weary marches and battles, and cite the invol- untary tests of some of its members of the
luxuries of southern boarding houses, but this has been lucidly written in the "Ilistory of the 78th Regiment," from its " muster in " to its " muster out," by Rev. T. M. Stevenson, who was first cap- tain of the company and afterward chap- lain of the regiment, in which he says " no company has done more efficient service, none suffered more upon the field of battle or from hardship and ex- posure," and a repetition here would be unnecessary.
