First Regiment, Ohio Vol. Cav.
The First Ohio Cavalry was organized late in the summer of 1861 under the first call of President Lincoln for the three-years' service, being rendesvouzed at Camp Chase and being mustered into service as a regiment on Octo- ber 5, 1861. "It being the first organization of its class raised in the State, there was at once manifested a great anxiety to join its ranks. This fact enabled the recruiting-offi- cers and the surgeon of the regiment to dis- criminate largely in the selection of men. It may well be doubted whether more applicants were ever rejected from a similar organiza- tion in the service, or if a nobler band of men in physical development could possibly have

been selected from the yeomanry of Ohio." About the middle of September, 1861, Compa- nies A and C were ordered to (West) Vir- ginia and later to the Shenandoah Valley. They participated in many of the sanguinary en- gagements around the national capital and did not return to the regiment until January, 1865. On October Ist, Company B was sent to Cin- cinnati, where it was fully equipped and sent on an expedition into Kentucky. On the 9th of December the regiment broke camp and proceeded by rail and steamboat to Louisville, where it was joined by Company B. The reg- iment remained at Louisville until January 16, 1862, and from that date to February 28th, when it embarked on transports for Nashville, was engaged in keeping the country in the neighborhood of Louisville free from Rebel guerrillas. On the 14th of March it took the advance of the column moving toward Colum- bia and from Columbia marched to Pittsburg Landing, arriving there after the battle. It participated in the advance upon Corinth and after the evacuation of that city joined in the pursuit of Beauregard's army as far as Boone- ville. The regiment returned to Corinth June 12th and five days later moved eastward to guard the line of the Mobile & Charleston Rail- road, being divided into a number of detach- ments, Companies E and K being sent to Court- land. On July 25th this town was attacked by a large force of Rebel cavalry, capturing two companies of the 10th Kentucky Infantry sta- tioned there, and Captain Eggleston, of Com- pany E, and 21 cavalrymen. The regiment next moved in two detachments to Louisville, Kentucky. They were reunited after the bat- tle of Perryville on October 8th, in which both participated, and continued together until the close of the war. The regiment was next sent in pursuit of the guerrilla command of General Morgan and with its brigade routed the Rebels at Gallatin, Tennessee. It went into camp at Nashville about the middle of November. In the advance on Murfreesboro, the regiment took part in the battle of Stone River, where on December 1, 1862, the gallant young colo- nel of the regiment, Minor Millikin, and a long list of officers and privates were killed. A
period of comparative inactivity then ensue:i until the advance on Tullahoma was ordered. which town was entered by the regiment on July Ist, after heavy skirmishing. At this time it was attached to the Second Brigade. Second Division of Cavalry. In July. August and September, 1863, two successful and one unsuccessful raids were made into Northern Alabama and Georgia. The First Ohio Car- alry then moved northward toward Chatta- nooga and on September 19th took part in the battle of Chickamauga, losing heavily, Lieut .- Col. Valentine Cupp being among the mortally wounded, his death occurring on the following day. On the Ist of October the regiment fought a severe engagement at Washington. Tennessee, with the advance of Gen. Joseph E. Wheeler's cavalry. It lay at Paint Rock Sta- tion, Alabama, from October 19th to Novem- ber 18th, when it moved toward Chattanooga. On the evening of November 22nd, with five other cavalry regiments, the First Ohio made a raid in the rear of Bragg's position, "which for its brilliant success and happy termina- tion, is unsurpassed in the annals of the cav- alry." Twenty miles of railroad and the largest percussion-cap and torpedo manufac- tory. in the confederacy were destroyed, 200 wagons burned and 600 horses and mules and 500 prisoners captured. While on this raid, the First Ohio lost 15 men in a severe engage- ment with the enemy at Cleveland. In Decem- ber a successful raid was made into North Car- olina. At Calhoun a division of the regiment, comprising 65 men, obtained a decisive victory over an overwhelming force of Rebels under General Wheeler, inflicting upon them a loss of 25 killed and 80 wounded and capturing 131 prisoners at a cost of one man killed and three wounded. On January 1, 1864, Col. B. B. Eggleston (formerly captain of Company E), who had been commissioned colonel in April, 1863, and had just returned from recruiting service in Ohio, moved the regiment to Pu- laski, Tennessee, where it veteranized. After a 30-days' furlough, it reassembled at Nash- ville on April 1, 1864. A month later it moved to Columbia and on May 22nd started to join the column of Sherman, then advancing on

Atlanta. The regiment was actively engaged throughout the Atlanta campaign up to the evacuation of the city. In the engagement at Moulton it lost 20 men killed and wounded: In front of Kenesaw 30 men were lost. The regiment accompanied General Kilpatrick in his raid around Atlanta, losing 50 men at Love- joy Station. After the fall of Atlanta, when General Hood attempted to cut off Sherman's communications, the First Ohio followed in pursuit and on the 13th of October engaged with the enemy at Rome, Georgia. Shortly after this . the members of the regiment were sent to Louisville to be refitted for the field. On December 28, 1864, after about six-weeks' stay in Louisville, the regiment left to join the cavalry corps in Alabama. - During the month of February, 1865, it was transferred to the Second Brigade, Fourth Division. Its last campaign was commenced on the 22nd of March and was finished on the 22nd of April, when Macon was entered where the force heard of the surrender of Lee. During this month's campaign the regiment was engaged in a tire- less pursuit of the enemy with skirmishes and fights almost every day. Chief among these engagements was the battle of Ebenezer Church, fought on April Ist and the night as- sault upon Columbus. After peace was de- clared, the regiment garrisoned Georgia and South Carolina until the 13th of September, when it was mustered out at Hilton Head, South Carolina, being paid off and discharged at Camp Chase, Columbus, on September 28th. The following served successively as colonels of the regiment; Owen P. Ransom, Minor Millikin, Thomas C. H. Smith and Beroth B. Eggleston.

Second Regiment, Ohio Heavy Artillery.
It became necessary by the middle of 1863 to put troops into the field, whose duty it should be to fortify and garrison the forts and other strongholds captured from the enemy. The Second Ohio Heavy Artillery was organized for this purpose. It was mustered in for the three-months service. Horatio G. Gibson was colonel. Each of the 12 batteries had an inde- pendent history.
Battery I, largely made up of Pickaway County men, was mustered into the service September 7, 1863, at Covington, Kentucky. and moved on October 11th to Fort De Wolf at Shepherdsville, Kentucky, where it remained until January 10, 1865, when it went to Fort Nelson (Camp Nelson), Kentucky. On May 26th it was moved to Camp Sedgwick at Cleve- land, Tennessee, and while there was engaged with a Rebel cavalry force under Wheeler. On October 9th it was transferred to Fort Galpin at Knoxville and on December 7th marched to Bean's Station with the force under Brig .- Gen. Jacob Ammen, later returning to Fort Galpin, where it remained up to August 23, 1865. It was then taken to Nashville and mustered out of the service. The regiment was paid and finally discharged on August 29, 1865, at Camp Chase.

MILITARY COMPANIES.
Under the old Ohio militia law, every able- bodied man, between the ages of 18 and 45, was a member of the militia, and was required to attend the annual musters, where the raw militia, armed with cornstalks, were put through the prescribed military evolutions. Reminiscences of these general training days are given elsewhere in this volume. The prac- tice became unpopular and finally was discon- tinued.
There have been, however, a number of regularly organized military companies in the county, and especially in Circleville, entirely distinct from the raw militia just mentioned .. No record of the organizations of this nature that flourished before the War of the Rebellion has been kept and we can therefore mention only such as we have noted in old records, newspaper files, etc. In 1828 there were the Circleville Rifle Company and the Pickaway Artillery. Shortly before the Mexican War, the Pickaway Guards was a "crack" organi- zation. Later came the Circleville Horse Dra- goons. The Circleville Guards flourished in the years before the Civil War. After the war, there was a period of 10 years before the Circleville Guard came into being. This organization came to an end when it entered the service of the United States in the war with Spain. A period of over five years then elapsed before the present military company- the Circleville Guards-was organized. The history of the two latter organizations follow.
The Circleville Guard.
The local military company of Circleville, known as the Circleville Guard, was organized
in 1875 as the Circleville Zouaves, but soon took the former name. The company origin- ally was Company D, Sixth Battalion. The original organization was furnished with ac- coutrements by the State, but the members provided themselves with their own uniforms. which were in the nature of dress uniforms and said to be very resplendent affairs. John C. McFadden was the first captain. Upon his resignation, Charles E. Groce became captain. During his term of service the company be- came Company F, Sixth Regiment. Captain Groce resigned about 1877 and was followed by Orin F. Thompson, who resigned in about four years to become quartermaster of the regiment and was followed by Sylvester F. Boyles, who served as captain until his death. in November, 1884. Lee O. Anderson became captain in May, 1885, and served a full term of five years. At the conclusion of his term. the company was transferred to the 14th Regi- ment and given the name of Company M. E. V. Murray was elected captain in 1890, being commissioned July 2nd; he served a short time-about four months. John W. Lowe was then elected to the captaincy, being commis- sioned January 1, 1891. He served a full term of five years and was followed in Janu- ary, 1896, by Frank C. Radcliff, who resigned the position about a year later. The next captain was Burr J. Bostwick who was in com- mand of the company up to the Spanish- American War, and was mustered into the United States service as captain of this con- pany, which became Company M, Fourth Regi- ment, Ohio Infantry,. U. S. Volunteers. Upon being enlisted in the United States service, the company was mustered out by the State of Ohio; when it returned from its service. it was, mustered out by the United States and the organization then ceased to exist.
The Circleville Guard was called into serv- ice quite a number of times to assist in quell- ing riots. It also took part in a number of important ceremonies, and was always in evi- dence on Memorial Day. The company was first called into service in 1877, when under Captain Groce; it was sent to Newark, Ohio, on account of disturbances attending a railroad strike. In September, 1881, it was ordered to

attend President Garfield's funeral, at Cleve- land; Captain Orin F. Thompson was then in command. In 1884, when Captain Boyles was captain, the company saw service at the Court Hlouse riots in Cincinnati, on March 30-31 and April 1-2; also at the coal mine riots in Hocking County, in the fall of 1884. Owing to sickness, Captain Boyles did not accompany the men. Second Lieutenant Murray was in command at Cincinnati and First Lieutenant Anderson was in command when the com- pany went to Hocking County. On April 30, 1889, the Circleville Guard attended the Wash- ington Centennial at New York City, when Captain Anderson was in command. On Feb- ruary 21, 1891, the company attended Gen. W. T. Sherman's funeral at-St. Louis, under Cap- tain Lowe. In October, 1892, Company M, under the command of Captain Lowe, camped in the Agricultural Building at the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago for a week or ten days and took part in. ceremonies at- tending the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America. In the fall of the following year, the company, under Captain Lowe, camped in Chicago at 71st street and Cottage Grove avenue (Grand Crossing) and took part in the Ohio Day parade at the World's Colum- bian Exposition. On the 6th of June, 1894, the company was ordered to Belmont County to quell the coal mine riots, and put in 13 days in Belmont and Tuscarawas counties, Captain Lowe being in command. In September, 1895, the company, under Captain Lowe, camped 10 days at Chattanooga, Tennessee, taking part on September 19th in the ceremonies at- tending the dedication of the Chickamauga battle-field as a national park. No further active service was seen by this company until the Spanish-American War.
A year or two after the company's organi- zation, a handsome silk flag, about five by seven feet in size, was presented to the com- pany by the ladies of Circleville, Miss Ella Davenport (afterward Mrs. George F. Kratz) delivering the presentation speech. On one side of the flag in gilt letters were the words- "Circleville Guard"; on the other-"From the Ladies." For quite a number of years, the flag was taken to the annual encampments.
The first annual encampment of the com- pany, in 1876, was at Portsmouth. From 187S to the Spanish-American War, the company held its encampments at the following named places : Ironton, 1878; Chillicothe, 1879: Washington Court House, 1880: Circleville. 1881; Ironton, 1882; Waverly, 1883; Spring- field, 1884; Chillicothe, 1885; Washington Court House. 1886; Delaware, 1887 : Colum- bus, 1888; Marion, 1890; Presque Isle, 1891 ; Logan, 1892: Chicago, 1893; Chattanooga. Tennessee, 1895; Cleveland, 1896; and Nash- ville, Tennessee, 1897.
About 1893, under Captain John W. Lowe. the company took up target practice, and about 20 members qualified as sharpshooters and marksmen. Joseph M. Bell had a score of 48 out of 50-23 at 200 yards and 23 at 300. George Florence, who became captain of the company upon its reorganization after the Spanish-American War, had a score of 47 at the same ranges. Captain Lowe had several scores of 46. The company had the largest number of sharpshooters of any company in the State. At the coal mine riots in Belmont and Tuscarawas counties in 1894, a sharp- shooters' squad was organized from the regi- ment and almost all of the ones detailed for this service were members of Company M.
Upon the organization of the company, Wittich's Hall was rented as an armory. Aft- erwards the third floor of the City Building was used for this purpose. About 1883, the company took up quarters in Eagle Hall, in the brick addition of the old National House on East Franklin. street. From 1890 to 1892, the headquarters of the company were in Peck's Hall; in the latter year the company moved into the armory in Memorial Hall. One year later they moved back to Peck's Hall, where they remained as long as the company con- tinued to exist.
The Circleville Guards.
From the conclusion of the Spanish-Ameri- can War until early in 1904 Circleville had no military company. In February of this year, Company F, Fourth Regiment, O. N. G. (Cir- cleville Guards) was organized, with the fol-
