COMPANY C, 122D REGIMENT.
This company was recruited by Geo. J. Henderson and William Glenn, and on the 3d of October, 1862, was mus- tered into the 122d Regiment, Colonel W. H. Ball, as Company C, with Geo. J. Henderson captain, William Glenn first and J. S. Paul second lieutenant, and P. F. Power orderly sergeant.
The regiment left camp at Zanesville on the 23d of October, 1862, on the steamers " Potwin" and " Powell" for Parkersburg, W. Va. On the 5th of December, at New Creek, it was at- tached to a brigade in General Milroy's Division. Their first march was up the valley of the south branch of the Poto- mac, through a snow storm, via Peters- burg, Hardin County, Va .. and War- densville; returning to Moorfield on the south branch by way of Romney, the regiment marched to Winchester on the 1st of January, 1863, and, with the 110th Ohio, constituted the garri- son of the place under General Milroy, and was continuously engaged in marching, counter-marching and skir- mishing with the enemy. On the 14th of June the regiment was engaged the entire day, and on the afternoon it was discovered that the town was sur- rounded by Ewell's Corps of Lee's army. At 2 a. m., of the 15th. a portion of the garrison, with the 122d in the advance, forced their way through the rebel lines, and arrived at Harper's Ferry on the same day, where they remained until the 1st of July. In this daring enterprise Company C. lost twenty-four men; one killed, one wounded, and twenty-two taken prisoners-the ma- jority of the captured being in military
parlance, stragglers. On the 1st of July the division was ordered to Wash- ington by the canal, and arrived there on the morning, as Captain Henderson said, "of that glorious Fourth that brought the news of the capture of Vicksburg, and the defeat of Lee's army at Gettysburg."
On the 6th the regiment went by rail to Frederick City, Md., where it was attached to the 3d Army Corps under General Meade. At that time Com- pany C numbered thirty-five men ; four- teen were sent to the hospital, and Lieutenant Glenn, with eight men, was detailed on guard duty at the commis- sary department, leaving fourteen for duty, who remained and went with Meade's army on the march to the Rap- pahannock.
In August the 122d and 110th were ordered to New York City to give attention to the rioters who were resist- ing the draft, and were distributed in detachmenis through the seditious dis- tricts. There they remained until Sep- tember, when they rejoined the brig- ade in camp on the Rappahannock, where most of the sick and wounded returned.
At the battle of Mine Run Com- pany C lost three killed and two wounded.
During the winter of 1863 Company C, with the regiment, was encamped on the farm of John Minor Botts, near Brandy Station, Culpepper County, Va.
In May, 1864, the company was in the 6th Corps of Grant's army, and was engaged in the battles of the Wilder- ness, Spottsylvania and Cold Harbor, in which it lost five killed, six wounded, and nine taken prisoners.
After remaining in front at Peters- burg a few weeks, the company with

the corps under General H. G. Wright, were ordered to Baltimore to check the advance of Early.
In the battle of Monocacy, in July, the company lost two killed, one wounded, and three taken prisoners. The company with the regiment was engaged in the battle of Opequan, pre- ceding that of Winchester on the 19th of September, when the regiment may have occupied the same camping-ground so unceremoniously left nearly one year previous. At the battles of Fisher's Hill, September 22 and Cedar Creek, October 22, the company lost two killed and three wounded.
In December the regiment returned to the front at Petersburg, and was en- gaged in active service until Lee's sur- render, when the division was ordered to Danville, Va. After Johnson's sur- render to Sherman the regiment re- turned to Washington, and on the 25th of June, 1865, was mustered out of the service.
