foraged there during the fall of 1863. Most of them, however, were anxious to get into active service, and see more of the country. They arrived at Sandusky at 5 P. M., via Clyde. The several companies were distributed in various places about the town, A and F in the courthouse, D and I in Massey's block, C and H in the armory, K and G in council-room, B in a lumber-room. Company E did not go with the command. It was disbanded at Fremont on account of being composed mostly of minors. May 8 was Sunday, and the boys put in the, time going to church and seeing the sights. The citizens provided them with supper which was received and relished with thanks. As no particular provision had been made for rations the men were getting short, and stood very much in need of a warm meal, On Monday, May 9, the Eighty-second battalion, from Van Wert, Ohio, the Seventy-first battalion from Ottawa, and the Ninety-fifth from Defiance were consolidated with it, [Waking the regiment over one thousand strong. It received orders to report at Camp Taylor, Cleveland, Ohio, but on account of not getting transportation did not get started until 10 A. M., on the 11th. The regiment was mustered into the service of the United States on May 15 and 16, and on the 17th the organization was completed. The battalion from Van Wert was thrown out, and four companies from Wayne county assigned in their stead. These four companies were under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel I. Robinson, from Wooster, who, for some reason not known to the writer, was relieved, and J. H. Carr, his adjutant, placed in charge by the consolidation at Cleveland. Companies I and K were disbanded, their officers either given command in other companies, or sent home. The men were distributed and attached to other companies. Lieutenant-Colonel Sanford


was also relieved, which the men regretted very much, as he was a genial gentleman, and they had become very much attached to him. After so many changes the newly fledged regiment was named the One Hundred and Sixty-ninth Ohio National Guard, and as finally organized, was officered as follows:

On the 18th marching orders were re- ceived, but owing to a lack of arms suffi- cient to equip the whole regiment they were detained and did not get away from camp until 2 P. M., of the 19th. They left the Cleveland depot at 5 P. M., via Cleveland &


Pittsburg and Pennsylvania roads to Harrisburg, and from there via Northern Central to Washington, where they arrived at 12 o'clock Saturday night, May 21. They were marched to some old army barracks near the depot, where they were quartered until 2 P. M., Sunday, when they took up their line of march down Pennsylvania avenue and over Long Bridge to Arlington Heights, in Virginia, but owing to some misunderstanding they were marched over Aqueduct Bridge to Georgetown, then up the Potomac on the Maryland side, several miles to Chain Bridge, where they recrossed to the Virginia side to Fort Ethan Allen, the place which was designated as the home of the regiment for the coming three months. They arrived at the fort at 10 o'clock Sunday night, and turned into quarters on the bare ground in an open lot, after a march of some dozen or more miles pretty. good for the first march,


In justice to the men it ought to be mentioned here that the regiment was applauded and congratulated frequently while in transit, as being one of the most orderly and civil which had passed through. On inspecting the location it was found that they were posted in one of the largest and strongest among the forts on the line of defence around Washington.


The ordnance consisted of forty cannon, a dozen or more mortars, some large enough to throw a twenty-two inch shell, a large store of small arms, magazines filled with ammunition, and a garrison of two thousand men, seated on the highest hill which could be found in the vicinity, with a commanding view of the surrounding country. From the top of the parapet encircling the fort could be counted a dozen or more flags floating in the breeze, from the top of so many flag staffs, showing the location of so many forts, and each in supporting distance from the other. A nice brook of clear water on either side wended its way down among the ravines toward the Potomac, with innumerable springs in the valleys, several in close proximity to the fort. The 23d, 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, and 29th, were spent in getting settled and putting things to rights in the fort and on and about the parade ground.


May 30th Grant Holcomb, a member of company G, died. This was the first death in the regiment. He was taken sick while in Washington, but bore up until his arrival here, when he was sent to the hospital and died, having been sick one week. His remains were forwarded to his home near Fremont, Ohio. The writer cannot refrain from inserting a few lines written by one of his comrades on the occasion.


Then weep not, friends, though he is gone, A righteous cause has called him hence; He died as heroes die -- alone; He died in freedom's just defence.


336


HISTORY OF SANDUSKY COUNTY.


On fame's eternal camping ground He occupies a tent of glory; Though now he is lost, he will be found When every thing shall pass away.


Then sleep, brave soldier, take thy rest Til God shall call thee from the tomb; Then, with the saints and martyrs blest, Arise to thy celestial home.


From the 1st day of June until the 10th, the time was pissed in the usual routine of camp life. About this time the regiment began the practice of artillery drill on the guns and mortars in the fort, in which they became proficient in a very short time, so much so that the regiment was complimented very highly by General DeRussey, the commandant of this department, and, by him, placed on record as the best drilled regiment on the line of the defenses. The writer will relate an exercise of drilling which he witnessed one afternoon by a squad of Fremont boys among which he remembers our genial friend Captain Charley Thompson, and Lieutenant Baldwin. They fired six shots from a thirty-two pound Parrot, at a target stationed at a distance from' the fort of one and one-third miles, cutting off the tree against which the target rested, at the second fire, and dropping four balls out of six within twenty feet of the target. This would be hard to beat by the oldest and most experienced of gunners.


On the morning of the 11th the boys were called out in double-quick, in anticipation of a raid from rebel cavalry, but luckily for the cavalry they did not put in an appearance. One hundred men were detailed daily to work on the bomb-proofs of the fort, and the rifle pits surrounding it. This was. not very desirable for the boys, as the sun's rays would dart down on them day after day, making them long for the cool, shady breeze of some friendly and familiar shade tree in the corner of the hay or wheat field at home. This work continued through the months of


June, July, and August; and, with the early and unseasonable hour at which the regiment was called out (usually at 3 A. M.), and the miasms arising from the Potomac, caused a great deal of sickness. On June 23 they recorded the second death, Jacob Schuster, of company H, whose remains were sent home to Green Spring, Ohio. On the 30th they were mustered for pay, which the boys were very anxious to get, but did not have the pleasure of seeing until after being mustered out at Cleveland, Ohio, several months later. On July 3 Silas Bowlus, a member of company K, died. His remains were sent home, several miles from Fremont, Ohio.


On the 4th Charles Risley died. He was a member of company G. His remains were buried near Fort Ethan Allen.


This being the glorious Fourth of July, it was decided to celebrate it in some ap- propriate manner, as they had been taught from childhood, even if no better way than to steal away and go swimming in some creek or stream running by the homestead. After getting permission from headquarters, companies A, C, D, E, F and K marched down to Colonel Lee's headquarters, a distance of. three or four miles, where several other Ohio regiments joined in an old-fashioned celebration, consisting of music, speeches, etc., after which the boys tramped back over a dusty road, hungry and tired, feeling that the fewer celebrations the better humor they could be kept in, and the better they could enjoy them.


On the 5th they recorded the death of David Marion, of Ottawa county. His remains were sent home, near Port Clinton, Ohio.


July 6th, George Karbler, of company G, died. His remains were buried at Fort Ethan Allen.


Early on the morning of the 8th the camp was thrown into considerable excitement by a report from the outer picket


337


HISTORY OF SANDUSKY COUNTY.


posts that the enemy were concentrating their forces near Brownsville, which turned out, as do a great many reports in the army, as unreliable. However, it had a tendency to show the efficiency of the men, and the promptness with which they could be got ready for action in case of necessity. Four companies were quickly detached from our command and dispatched to Fort Marcy to strengthen that garrison and give them a helping hand in case of an assault. But happily once more for the rebels, they did not come.


On July 9 Joseph Field died and his remains were sent home. He was a member of company B.


On the night of July 11th and morning of the 12th, the long looked for enemy made its appearance on the Maryland side of the Potomac, and in front of forts Stevens and Slocum. Early on the 12th the One Hundred and Thirty-fourth regiment, from the garrison, was dispatched across the river to strengthen those forts, while the One Hundred and Sixty-ninth was left to take care of matters at home, and as no enemy ventured in reach of their guns, all they had to do was to keep quiet, and look on.


On the morning of the 18th, at 1 o'clock, Jerome Seibert died. He was a very worthy young man. His father came and took his remains home, to be buried near West Fremont. Here the writer wishes to introduce, by way of quotation, a beautiful poem written to his memory by a lady friend:


Carefully fold his cold arms O'er his heart, forever stilled. Gently close his loving eyes, Never vet with anguish filled. O, gently speak and softly tread, For Jerome, our noble boy, is dead. Only three short months ago He went at his country's call; And, oh how little we realized That our Jerome, too, could fall.


Can it be that death so soon Has called away our brave Jerome? Yes, it has, his brow is cold; Hushed the music of his voice. Never more with songs to make Every heart that thrills rejoice; Yet his songs in Heaven will be From all earthly passions free.


Father, mother, sister, brother, Mourn not for your Jerrie dear, But remember God released him From the cares and trials here. Peacefully in the Saviour's arms Jerrie rests from war's alarms.


Never more shall bugle's call Rouse him from his soldier's bed, Till the trumpet that summons all Wake the nation of the dead. Sweetly sleep-thy work is done, And thy Father calls thee home.


Oh, it was hard to give him up. None but loving hearts can know How you wrestled with your grief, How you stuggled with your woe. But the Saviour hears your prayer, Gives you strength your grief to bear.


July 20 John Stahl died. He had been detailed to go to Arlington with a corps of engineers, for the purpose of surveying an addition to the National Cemetery, which now contains eighteen thousand Union dead, and covers the famous Arlington property, which was General Fee's home before the rebellion, and an inheritance from the Washington family. While there he was taken sick, and returned to the fort and hospital to die. The writer met him on the afternoon of the 18th, on his return, at the captain's headquarters near the parade ground, and again at the hospital on the morning of the 19th. He conversed pleasantly and freely of home and friends, not thinking that his sickness was anything serious. But alas! on the morning of the 10th he was reported with the dead.


On the 21st the color sergeant, Edward Holcombe, died. He was as generous and whole-souled a fellow as ever lived. His sickness and death were similar to


338


HISTORY OF SANDUSKY COUNTY.


that of Stahl's. The writer met him only a few hours before he passed away. His voice was clear, and his grip strong, and, in answer to the question, "How do you do this morning, Sergeant?" he said: "I am all right this morning, Sergeant-Major." The reader can imagine the writer's surprise when, within a few short hours, he, too, was reported among the dead.


From this time forward, until we were relieved and ordered from the fort, on the 21st day of August, the death list increased daily. Death seemed to lurk in every part of the fort and barracks, and none knew what the morrow would bring forth. On some days scarcely a well man could be found in the regiment. It was said at the time 'that only one man of the one thousand strong and able-bodied men could say, on his departure, that he had not been sick a single day while at the fort. Owing to an attack of malarial fever at this time, the memoranda of the writer became lost, and we are, therefore, unable to give the names and date of death of the remainder of the forty-three men who died, and were daily carried by the tent door, to be sent to their several homes, where many sad hearts were waiting to receive them. Among the many sad deaths which occurred was that of John Downey, a clever, good-natured fellow, a member of company H, whose home was near Fremont. On the departure of the regiment, when the sick were taken from their respective hospitals, preparatory to starting for home, he was accidentally left behind, at Mount Pleasant hospital, near Washington. There is no doubt but that he received the best of treatment from good nurses, but as soon as he found out that the regiment had departed for home, he probably became homesick, and died. The writer is of opinion that, had he started home with his comrades, he would have recovered, We took out of the same


hospital three hundred or more pick, two- thirds of whom were as bad off as Mr. Downing, men who, apparently not able to help themselves, on being told we were to start for home on the morrow, at once seemed to be miraculously cured, or much improved, and, like the sick mentioned in Holy Writ, could get up and walk without any assistance and get about, packing their knapsacks, with a cheer, and saying: "Count me in; I'll be ready at 8 A. M. sharp." That was the time set to leave the gate of the hospital, where the sick were all to assemble preparatory to leaving for the depot.


The regiment was all in readiness to march from the fort at an early hour on the morning of the 22d of August, 1864, which all seemed to do without any regret. They got under way at 9 A. M., via Baltimore, Harrisburg, and Pittsburgh, arriving at Cleveland on the 25th at 9 P. M., having been on the road eighty-four hours, and a tedious ride it was, with over five hundred sick men to feed and take care of on the route. A great many accidents occurred which would be worthy of note. One of a ludicrous nature transpired while waiting on a siding for a down train. Some of the boys spied an old oil well near the track, and, being inquisitive, had the audacity to apply a lighted match, when the flames, like a flash, shot high in the air. Just then the train started, to the great relief of the thoroughly frightened men.


The regiment was finally mustered out of the service on Sunday, the 4th day of September, 1864, and left Cleveland for home on Monday, the 5th, where they arrived at 4 P. M., having been absent one hundred and twenty-six days. They received pay for one hundred and twenty-five days' service.
