ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-SIXTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.

This regiment was one of those raised under the last call of the President, to serve for one year, and was composed of men gathered from all parts of Ohio, the great majority of them having already seen ar- duous service of the regimental officers, all but two had seen service. At 12 o'clock on the 2d day of March, 1865, the last company to complete the regiment was mustered in at Camp Chase, and placed under the command of Colonel Thomas F. Wildes, who on the 11th of the same month was made a brevet brigadier-general. Its rendezvous was Camp Chase. It moved in boats to Louisville, and there, taking the cars, was soon at Nashville. On the 8th of March it left Nashville for Murfreesborough, arriving there on the 10th of March, 1865. The march of the night of the 9th of March was one which will long be remembered by the men of the One Hundred and Eighty-sixth. There was not a tent in the command the regimental quartermaster had not yet been mustered in and could not legally draw them, if they were to be had. There was rain and snow during the day, and at night the weather turned very cold. In all their three years' previous service the men had never experienced such a night. The cold was intense, but not a murmur of complaint was heard. The destination of the regiment was Cleveland, Tennessee, where it went into camp, and, following the example of the old soldiers, soon erected comfortable quarters.

On the 2d of May, 1865, the regiment moved from Cleveland to Dalton, and re- mained there a few days. General Wildes, meantime, had been assigned to the com- mand of a brigade at Chattanooga, and, on his request, the One Hundred and Eighty- sixth was transferred to his brigade. At Chattanooga Lieutenant. Colonel Wil-

helm disciplined the men to such proficiency that the regiment became the best drilled of the command.

On the 10th of July the One Hundred and Eighty-sixth was ordered to Nashville. This consequently returned General Wildes to the command of his regiment. September 13, orders were received to prepare the rolls for the muster out of the regiment. On the 25th of September they were mustered out, and paid, at Columbus, Ohio. The regiment faithfully and earnestly performed every duty required of it, and bore all its privations without a whisper of complaint, and, if the continuance of the war had required, they would have been found equal to the best and bravest of the defenders of the Union.

To this regiment Sandusky county fur- nished the following named men, most of whom as has been said, had seen service before:

THE THIRD OHIO VOLUNTEER CAVALRY.

The Third Ohio Cavalry was organized in September, 1861, at Monroeville, in Huron county, Ohio.

Captain William B. Amsden recruited a company designated company D, in Sandusky, Colonel Lewis Zahm being the moving spirit of the organization of the regiment. It moved from Camp Worcester, near Monroeville, to Camp Deanison on the 14th of January, 1862. From there it went to Jeffersonville, Indiana, opposite Louisville, Kentucky, in the following February. Then it moved on the 2d of March, 1862, to Nashville, Tennessee, and arrived there March 18. On the 10th of March it left Nashville for Pittsburg Landing. On the 4th of April, 1862, General Buell detached the first battalion and sent it to Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, to oppose Biffle's rebel cavalry there. The rebels were met and driven out of Lawrenceburg. Several rebels were wounded and one man killed and six horses captured. Another detachment, under Major John H. Foster, was sent to Mount Pleasant on the 6th of April to seize a quantity of bacon, which was duly captured and turned over to, the quarter-master. It then joined the regiment at Savannah, whither the Third had moved in advance of Buell's army. On the 25th of April it marched up to Pittsburg Landing and went into camp four miles from the river.

During the first year of its service the Third Ohio Cavalry was attached to General T. J. Wood's division, and most of the time was under his immediate command; and the history of Wood's division is referred to for the gallant acts the regiment performed. From this time on the regiment did faithful service. It fought many hard battles and displayed those

qualities which reflect honor to every individual, whether officer or private, who was so fortunate as to be on its rolls. To give a detailed account of the marches, charges and services of the brave and gallant body of men, would need a whole book. It fought, and marched, and charged with unflinching obedience to orders. It suffered without complaining all through the war. It finished its long career of arduous service at Macon, Georgia. It was, during the latter part of its service, under command of Captain E. M. Colver, and under him did some glorious work. Under orders from General Thomas the Third turned over its horses and arms at Macon, and was ordered to report at Nashville, Tennessee, for muster out. Proceeding to Louisville, Kentucky, and thence to Camp Chase, Ohio, the regiment was there paid off and discharged on the 14th day August, 1865, having served four years lacking twenty days.

The following is the roster and roll of the men furnished to this grand regiment from Sandusky county:

OUR WOMEN AS "HELPMEET" IN THE WAR OF THE REBELLION.

No fair or true history of the war to suppress the Southern rebellion, and to save the Constitution and the Government, can be written without placing on record, by the side of the heroic deeds of the men, the noble acts and the uncomplaining endurance of suffering and privation patiently borne by the patriotic women of Sandusky county, as well as everywhere in the country.

In the autumn of 1861, President Lincoln and General Scott became convinced that the war would be prolonged through the approaching. winter, and convinced also that, with all the efforts Government could make with the resources then in its hands, there must be much suffering in the army necessarily to be kept in the field, for want of clothing and other supplies, made an appeal to the mothers and daughters of the republic for help. They were requested to make an effort to furnish shirts, drawers, socks, mittens, etc., to the soldiers in the field, and also such

345

HISTORY OF SANDUSKY COUNTY.

articles as the sick and wounded might need.

And now we pause to consider and ask: What could a whole volume upon the then alarming condition of the country say or prove better than an appeal of this kind, made by the commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States, and his venerable, war-worn lieutenant-general, to the women of the country? Alarm and fear, and want of resources to carry on the war successfully, are all implied in this appeal to the women. The wisdom and experience of the men who made this appeal are obvious. They knew well the organism of the two sexes that man is strongest in intellect and reasoning, while woman is more affectionate and intuitive than man; that her intuition often leads her to safer conclusions in the practical affairs of life, than the slow judgment and reasoning of man. They knew also that, while love is the controlling influence in woman, when the object of her love was placed in a position of danger and suffering, her labor to rescue and relieve was intense, sleepless, and knew no bound but the limit of life itself. These wise ones knew also the power of woman in the domestic and social circles of life to stimulate man to action. This wise and timely appeal to mothers and daughters was well made and most nobly responded to, especially by the women of Sandusky county.

On the 14th of October, 1861, at a meet- ing held in Buckeye Hall, in Fremont, for the purpose of recruiting for the Seventy-second regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, among other proceedings resolutions were passed noticing this appeal to the mothers and daughters of the country, and requesting that they organize a society for the purpose indicated.

SOLDIERS' AID SOCIETY.

Promptly after publication of the reso- lutions, the women of the vicinity were

called together, and on the 19th day of October, 1861, about one hundred of the best and most influential women of the city met at Birchard Hall to consider the matter, and organized a society, adopted a constitution, and elected officers, as fol- lows:

Mrs. R. P. Buckland, president; Mrs. James Vallette, vice-president; Mrs. Geo. C. Canfield, treasurer; Mrs. A. Phelps, secretary.

Mrs. S. Buckland, Mrs. Isaac E. Amsden, Mrs. Dr. St. Clair, Mrs. James W. Wilson, Mrs. James Graham, Mrs. A. Norton, Miss M. Raymond, and Miss Eveline Ball, directors.

The visiting committee was as follows: Mrs. F. I. Norton, Mrs. L. Canfield, Mrs. William B. Sheldon, Mrs. Oscar Ball, Mrs. Platt Brush, Mrs. M. W. St. Clair, and Miss Bell Nyce.

The receiving and distributing committee was composed of Mrs. J. B. G. Downs, Mrs. George Raymond, and Mrs. Lewis Canfield.

The object of the society was to collect and forward to the Union soldiers clothing, medicine, and food fit for the sick soldiers, lint, bandages, and every other article available to relieve our soldiers from the sufferings incident to the war.

The society at once made its organization and objects known through the press of the county, and gave notice that any donations to the soldiers might be deposited with Stephen Buckland, or R. C. McCulloch, of Fremont.

At a meeting of the Soldiers' Aid So- ciety, held January 30, 1862, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year:

Mrs. A. H. Miller, president; Mrs. J. L. Greene, vice-president; Miss M. Raymond, secretary; Mrs. George C. Canfield, treasurer.

The board of directors was as follows:

346

HISTORY OF SANDUSKY COUNTY.

Mrs. S. Grant, Mrs. Isaac Sharp, Mrs. A. B. Taylor, Mrs. Henry Lesher, Mrs. William B. Sheldon, Mrs. P C. Dean, Mrs. I. Camfield, Mrs. Theodore Clapp, Mrs. Oscar Ball, and Miss Alvira Ball.

Mrs. F. I. Norton, Mrs. Platt Brush, and Mrs. Benjamin Flint, composed the receiving and distributing committee.

To give a detailed account of all that our women did for the safety and comfort of our soldiers in the service, whether in the field or hospital, or in prison, would fill a book, but is not necessary to a fair appreciation of their works. From the day the society was organized, they worked for the comfort and health of the men in the army. They worked as only women can work for country, and for loved ones away, and in danger. Their minds and hands were busy in contriving and executing plans for the most good, and how much good they accomplished the Infinite alone can ever know and measure. Women whose hands had before been strangers to work, and whose circumstances in life then were such as to free them from toil at home, cheerfully met and mingled with those who had known toil all their lives, on a common level in their great work, and toiled together and earnestly for the soldiers of the Union army. And the soldier in prison, or in hospital, or in camp on duty, received the letters from the noble women at home, bearing messages of recollection, kindness and encouragement, accompanied with the free offerings of things needed for their comfort, the soldier was not only relieved and comforted, but was inspired with fresh and higher courage to fight and suffer on to a glorious close of the war.

The records of the society are not at hand, but we have gathered sufficient facts to give future generations the kind of work they performed all through the war after the society was first organized. Al-

most every week, and sometimes often shipments were made of articles needed. One or two would capture a horse and spring wagon, drive through the country, calling on every one they met for donations. They would enter a well-to-do farmer's residence. The good wife on being informed of their object, would at once throw open closet, larder, and cellar, and whatever the callers wanted they took, and the donor was happy in the giving. Her store of preserves, jellies, pickles, blankets, old sheets, in fact anything they wanted was at their disposal, and the wagon would soon return loaded with good and comforting things for the boys in the war. These collections and the donations from those nearer the head of the organization were packed in boxes, and promptly sent by railroad to where they were most needed.

We here append the quarterly report of the Soldiers' Aid Society of Fremont, made February 4, 1864, to give a sample of the articles collected and forwarded, also a report of a similar organization at Clyde, in September, 1864, which are as follows :

During the quarter, one box, containing 8 woolen shirts, 26 pairs socks, 7 pairs drawers, 3 sheets, 6 towels, 8 cotton shirts, 9 double gowns, 29 handkerchiefs, 3 pounds compresses, 5 cans peaches, 28 pounds dried apples, 5 pounds dried cherries, 4 pounds peaches (dried), 1 pair mittens, 2 pounds sugar, 4 pounds soap, 3 cans of apple-butter, 1 can of tomatoes.

This box contained also the Woodville donations, viz: 17 shirts, 4 pairs socks, 8 pillows, 6 pillow slips, 4 pounds old cotton, and 9 pounds of dried fruit.

Also two other boxes, containing 14 flannel shirts, 11 cotton shirts, 13 pairs drawers, 10 pillow slips, 7 sheets, 7 towels, 21 handkerchiefs, 12 pairs socks, 7 jars apple butter, 16 pounds dried apples, 6 pounds dried peaches, 5 pounds soap, 2 rolls cotton, 3 jars cherries; 2 boxes, 3 cans, and 2 bottles tomatoes; 1 bottle wine, 1 jar cherries, 1 jar peaches, 1 jar quinces, 1 jar raspberries, and 1 gallon boiled cider.
