Company H, Medina and Lorain; Company I, Lorain, and Company K, Medina.

Company F was organized in Sandusky county. Captain George M. Tillotson died at Fremont, Ohio, March 4, 1863; First Lieutenant Charles M. Fouke, resigned; Second Lieutenant E. W. Cook, resigned; First Lieutenant Henry Farnum, promoted from sergeant, also promoted to captain, wounded at Gettysburg; Second Lieutenant Thomas H. Thornburgh, promoted from sergeant, wounded at Mine Run.

Company G was organized in Sandusky county. Captain William E. Haynes, pro- moted to Lieutenant Colonel Tenth Ohio volunteer cavalry; First Lieutenant Ed. ward F. Dickinson, promoted to captain, served as regimental quartermaster (since a member of Forty-first Congress from Ninth Congressional district of Ohio); Second Lieutenant Creighton Thompson, wounded at Antietam.

The regiment left Camp Dennison for Virginia, July 8, 1861, and served in the campaign against Garnett's force; was present at an attempt on Romney, under Colonel Cantwell of the Eighty-second Ohio, at its capture under General Kelley. It was also engaged in a skirmish at Blue Gap and at Bloomey Gap. During the winter of 1861- 62 it formed a part of General Lander's force, on the Upper Potomac, Patterson's Creek, and Paw Paw Tunnel.

In November, 1861, Colonel DePuy and Lieutenant-Colonel Park resigned and Cap- tain S. S. Carroll, of the United States Army, was appointed colonel. Major Sawyer was promoted to lieutenant-colonel, and Captain A. H. Winslow to major. Colonel Carroll was a graduate of West Point, brave, active, and devoted to his profession. During six weeks under his command, at Romney, the regiment attained a high state of proficiency in drill and tac-

tics, and the esprit du cords for which it was afterwards greatly celebrated.,

In March, 1862, the regiment joined General Shields' division, in the Valley of the Shenandoah, and took part in the campaign against "Stonewall" Jackson; and, on the 23d of March, in the battle of Winchester, Colonel Carroll, with part of the regiment, was at one time hotly engaged on the left of the position, losing three men killed, and receiving several balls in his clothing. Colonel Sawyer, with companies C, D, E, and H, was on the right, and charged the enemy in flank, in conjunction with the Fifth and Sixty-second Ohio. The loss in these four companies in killed and wounded was more than one-fourth the number engaged.

After this battle Colonel Carroll was placed in command of a brigade, and did not again command the regiment, which was, during the balance of its service, in command of Lieutenant-Colonel Sawyer, with brief exception. The regiment was at this time assigned to General Kimball's brigade, consisting of the Fourth and Eighth Ohio, Fourteenth Indiana, and Seventh Virginia.

Shields' division now moved to Fred- ericksburg, and left General Banks to his fate in the valley; and as soon as he had been driven back into Maryland, Shields marched back to the valley. Kimball's brigade retook Front Royal, the Eighth being in front, and Captain Haynes, of Company G, entered the town, capturing most of the force and supplies of the rebels, also capturing the famous Belle Boyd. After Shields' failure at Port Republic he was relieved, and Kimball, with his brigade, sent to join McClellan, on the James, where he arrived on the 2d of July, by steamer, and debarked at Harrison's Landing as McClellan was falling back from Malvern Hill. Immediately, under command of General Ferry, the

brigade pushed out for the Chickahominy, constantly skirmishing with the enemy for several days. On the 4th of July the Eighth drove in the enemy's pickets, losing seven men killed and wounded.

The regiment remained at Harrison's Landing until the line of the James River was abandoned, August 16, 1862, when, being organized with French's division, Sumner's corps, then and afterwards known as Second Division, Second Corps, the regiment returned to Yorktown, thence to Newport News, whence, by transports, it arrived at Alexandria; thence marched to Centreville, where the retreating army of Pope was met. Here the corps protected the retreat of the army; supported Kearney at Chantilly, and moved on the left flank, crossing the Potomac at the chain bridge. From this point the corps moved to the Monocacy, having a brisk skirmish, thence to South Mountain, where the corps supported Burnside, and witnessed the battle of the 15th September. The corps crossed the mountain next morning, and took position on the Antietam which it crossed early on the morning of the 17th, and attacked the enemy by divisions in front of Sharpsburg. The First division, under Sedgwick, had been driven back, and our division, under French, was ordered forward, and finally carried an important position at the point of the bayonet. Kimball led his brigade gallantly to the work; not a man faltered, but the position was gained only at a loss of nearly one-half his men. But few over three hundred, rank and file, of the Eighth were present, and its loss in the battle was one hundred and sixty- two killed and wounded. Lieutenants Delany, Lantry, Bill, and Barnes were killed, and Lieutenants Shilletto Smith, company A, and Thompson, company G, each losing an eye, were carried from the field supposed to be dead. Nine other officers

were severely wounded. Colonel Sawyer's and Adjutant Lewis' horses were both shot. Lieutenant Dickinson, then acting as quartermaster, was on the field during the day acting as aid-de-camp to General Kimball. The Fourteenth Indiana lost heavily, and in conjunction with the Eighth made a partial change of position under fire. The Seventh Virginia lost heavily also, and Colonel Oakford, One Hundred and Twenty- sixth Pennsylvania, was killed. This regiment-One Hundred and Twenty-sixth Pennsylvania-replaced the Fourth Ohio, which was at the time in convalescent camp at some distance from the battlefield. General French honored the brigade with the title of "the Gibraltar brigade."

From this place the brigade was pushed rapidly to Harper's Ferry, and thence to Leesburgh, on a tedious and fruitless ex- pedition. From Harper's Ferry the regiment, with the army, marched to Falmouth, and participated in the battle of Fredericksburg, December 12, 1862. In this battle the Eighth and Fourth Ohio and First Delaware on the left, in command of Colonel Sawyer, formed a sort of forlorn hope, being ordered to drive in the pickets and sharpshooters between the town and Marie's Hill, to cut and level the fences, etc. This was gallantly done, and the position designated taken by the troops, at a point beyond which no organization of troops passed during the terrible battle that followed.

Captain Allen, company I, and Sergeant- Major Henthorn were killed, and several men were killed and wounded.

Winter quarters were established at Fal- mouth. General Kimball having been severely wounded was relieved from com- mand. On the 10th of January, 1863, Colonel Carroll assumed command of the brigade, which he retained until wounded at the battle of Spottsylvania, May 12, 1864.

The next battle was Chancellorsville. The Eighth regiment, though engaged in line of battle during the 2d, 3d, and 4th days of May, suffered but little, losing but one man killed and six wounded.

Next came the Gettysburg campaign. In this battle the regiment showed conspicuous bravery. Midway between the two armies the turnpike is cut through a ridge, thus forming a good rifle-pit. This the rebels held, and from it their sharp-shooters were picking off our officers and men. The Eighth was ordered to take and hold the place. Colonel Sawyer led the charge, mounted, and drove out and captured the rebels in fine style. They were soon reinforced and attempted to retake it, but were driven back with great loss.

This was on the afternoon of July 2d. The loss in the regiment had been severe, but the order was to "hold the fort." At daylight on the morning of the 3d the rebels again made a determined attack, but were repulsed. About noon a tremendous cannonade began, the shot from both armies passing overhead, and two of the men were killed. As soon as the artillery duel had ceased the rebel infantry began to move in force toward the line, the main body moving to our right, but three regiments confronting us. The whole regiment now remaining was drawn up in line and made a desperate charge with the bayonet as the rebel line approached, which broke and ran, leaving half its men and three battle-flags in our hands. One-half the regiment present were killed and wounded. Among the killed were Lieutenant Hayden, company H, Sergeant Kipko, company A, and Sergeant Peters, company G; among the wounded were Lieutenants Farnam and Thornburgh, company F, and Captains Pierce, Miller, Ried and Nickerson. The regiment, with its corps, followed up the rebels, skirmish-

ing continually, to Harper's Ferry, and thence to Culpeper. At this point the regiment was relieved from the front, and sent, with other troops, to New York city, by steamer, to suppress the draft riots. This trip was, to all, a most pleasant episode in army life.

Returning from New York the regiment joined its corps, still at Culpeper. General Lee had turned the right wing of the army and was forcing it back over the path of Pope's retreat of the year before. During the retreat the Eighth was engaged in a severe skirmish at Auburn, and the brisk little battle at Bristow Station. Colonel Carroll's horse was killed, our baggage horses captured, and several men wounded.

Lee now fell back to Mine Run, and Meade, commanding our army, followed. At a skirmish near Robinson's Tavern Colonel Sawyer's horse was killed, and several men killed and wounded.

The army now went into winter quarters. On the 8th of February the Eighth participated in the skirmish at Morton's Ford, crossing the ford with the division under General Alexander Hayes.

On the 3d of May, 1864, the regiment, with its corps, the Second, still commanded by General Hancock, crossed the Rapidan for the final campaign. The corps struck the enemy on the afternoon of the 5th, and the Eighth recaptured a gun just taken from Sedgwick, in which skirmish Lieutenant McKisson was wounded. The next morning the brigade was pushed forward, and the Eighth become hotly engaged in an almost hand to hand fight. Captain Craig, commanding company F, was killed, and Captain Lewis, commanding company G, was dangerously wounded, his left thigh bone being shot off. Several other losses occurred. Two wounded men fell into the hands of the rebels, and were carried to Anderson

ville. Following the enemy to Spottsylvania the Eighth was engaged on the 9th, charging the enemy's works, with the division, which was repulsed. Lieutenant Huysung and Color-bearer James Conlan, were among the severely wounded.

At a little after midnight on the morning of the 12th, the Second Corps drew out of its position, and, amid profound darkness, passed noiselessly to the left, with the design of attacking the enemy's right wing. By daylight we were supposed to be in its vicinity. The Eighth Ohio and First Delaware, in command of Colonel Sawyer, were ordered forward to clear out what appeared to be a few troops in an orchard and some negro huts in front. This developed the picket line, and the whole corps was soon in motion. The Eighth joined its brigade as it came up, and the whole division, moving forward at a quick-step, came upon a rebel brigade, which surrendered with hardly a shot, and soon received the first volley from the real rebel line.

The salient, as the rebel right was repulsed, had been struck, and the whole corps, pushing forward at a double-quick, was soon master of the rebel works. The whole corps suffered fearfully, and the loss in the Eighth was terrible. Lieutenant Manahan, Company D, was killed; the color- bearer, Sergeant Gallagher, mortally wounded, with many others. Colonel Sawyer was severely wounded, at the time it was supposed mortally; Colonel Coons, Fourteenth Indiana, with other officers of his regiment, were killed; Colonel Lockwood, Seventh Virginia, terribly wounded; Colonel Davis, Twelfth New Jersey, the captain commanding the First Delaware, and several officers of the Fourth Ohio, all from our little brigade, lay dead around us as the smoke of the battle for a moment cleared away. The enemy soon rallied, and the fight went on. During

the day Colonel Carroll was severely wounded and carried from the field.

Major Winslow now assumed command of the regiment. On the 19th it participated in the battle of the North Anna, crossing the river under fire, and losing several men. On the 26th it was again engaged at Hanover Court House, and on the 31st at Cold Harbor, in which battle the loss in the regiment was twenty-four killed and several wounded.

The regiment was not again seriously engaged, but followed the fortunes of the Second Corps to the front of Petersburg, from which place it was relieved, and returned home, its term of enlistment having expired. It arrived in Cleveland on the morning of the 3d of July, 1864, and was mustered out on the 13th, numbering less than one hundred rank and file fit for duty.

The regiment had been engaged in forty- eight battles and skirmishes. It had never wavered in its duty, never had lost its position in battle, had lost, all told, but six prisoners, and they were wounded and unable to be removed from the field. It had taken four rebel battle flags and twice its own number of prisoners. It had frequently, as a regiment, been commended by commanding generals for its bravery, and was complimented by Governor Brough as one of the best of Ohio's brave regiments.

THE TWENTY-FIFTH OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.

Sandusky contributed a company, or nearly a company, to the Twenty-fifth Ohio Volunteer Infantry. The regiment was organized at Camp Chase in June, 1861, and contained men from various localities in all quarters of the State. On the 29th day of July, 1861, it went into service in West Virginia, and was stationed along the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, from Oakland to the Ohio River. While there the regiment paid attention to bushwhackers which infested the vicinity and broke up several gangs of them, to the great relief of the forces, as well as the loyal inhabitants. The regiment went through a long course

252

HISTORY OF SANDUSKY COUNTY.

of suffering and arduous service. It was in the battles of Cheat Mountain, Greenbriar, Camp Baldwin, Monterey; the engagements and marches in the Shenandoah Valley; in General campaign along the Rappahannock, in the second battle of Bull Run, at Gettysburg, and a great many battles, and many trying marches.

It re-enlisted on the 15th of January, 1864, and started for home, on veteran furlough, reaching Camp Chase on the 5th of March, 1864. While there, many recruits were added to the regiment, and were organized, and called Company B.

On the 16th of February, 1864, the reg- imental flags, which had passed through twenty battles, and under which eighteen color-bearers had been killed or wounded, were presented to Governor Brough, to be placed in the archives of the State, and the regiment received a beautiful new stand of colors.

It served well in the Carolinas, and, in fact, all through the war; and on the 18th of June, 1866, when it held its last parade at Columbus, Ohio, surrendered again its sec- ond set of colors to Governor Cox, and was then mustered out, and discharged, having been in active service over five years.

The following are the men of Sandusky county who enlisted in the Twenty-fifth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and who are entitled to a share of its glory, and the thanks of the country:

THE FORTY-NINTH REGIMENT, OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.

This regiment, which did such conspicuous service in the war for the suppression of the Rebellion, was organized at Tiffin, in the county of Seneca. It left Camp Noble, near Tiffin, on the 10th of September, 1861, for Camp Dennison, where it received its equipments on the 21st of the same month, and moved for Louisville, Kentucky. The next day it reported to Brigadier General Robert Anderson, then in command at that place, and was the first organized Union regiment to enter Kentucky, where it met a most cordial re-
