CAPTAIN JOSEPH FRANCIS SONNANSTINE.
Joseph Francis Sonnanstine was born in Columbiana County, O., September 9, 1830. In March of 1850 he started for California by the overland route, and after a perilous journey of one hundred and fifty-eight days arrived at Ringgold, Cal., on the 16th of August of that year. In July of 1852 he returned, and in 1858 came to MeComelsville, where he has since resided. At the breaking out of the war he was engaged in the oil business in West Virginia. He closed up his affairs and came to MeConnelsville, where Colonel Pond and Judge Hanna

were at the time organizing a company. He joined the organization; but there being more men enlisted than required for one company, it was reduced by throwing out men of families. In June of 1861. he enlisted in a company being recruited for the 32d O. V. I., which afterward became Company C of the 65th. From a private he rose by suc- cessive promotions to first lieutenant of Company K, 65th O. V. I. Hle filled all the intermediate positions, and each promotion was earned and not obtained, as was often the case, through outside influence.
At the battle of Mission Ridge he had command of the company, and was seriously wounded. In the Atlanta campaign he was promoted for merito- rious services to the captaincy of Com- pany E, 65th O. V. I. While engaged in the construction of earthworks in front of Atlanta he was attacked with fever, and was sent to officer's hospital. After his recovery he was detailed as assistant provost-marshal of Chattanoo- ga, Tenn., where he had charge of all trains coming in or leaving the city, and of the refugees, of which there was at one time abont 4,000. His duties in connection with these unfortunates he says, " were the saddest of all his earthly experiences." After the battle of Nash- ville, Captain Sonnanstine rejoined his regiment, which moved to East Ten- nessee, to intercept Lee's army. From thence the company was ordered to New Orleans, where they arrived on the 27th of June. In Angust they were ordered to Indianola, Texas, where they were engaged in rebuilding a railroad. In this labor they were employed until Dec. 10, 1865, when orders were re- ceived for them to make out the mnster- out rolls-a duty, it is needless to say,
