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 sur- veying an addition to the National Cem- etery, which now contains eighteen thou- sand Union dead, and covers the famous Arlington property, which was General Lee's home before the rebellion, and an inheritance from the Washington family. While there he was taken sick, and re- turned 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 20th he was reported with the dead.
On the 2 Ist 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
43
33&
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 sur- prise 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 2 Ist 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 re- ceive 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 Fre- mont. On the departure of the regiment, when the sick were taken from their re- spective hospitals, preparatory to starting for home, he was accidentally left be- hind, 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 sick, 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 re- gret. They got under way at 9 A. M., via Baltimore, Harrisburg, and Pittsburgh, ar- riving 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.

HISTORY OF SANDUSKY COUNTY.
ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-SIXTH REGI- MENT 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-gen- eral. 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 Mur- freesborough, arriving there on the roth 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 com- plaint was heard. The destination of the regiment was Cleveland, Tennessee, where it went into camp, and, following the ex- ample 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 profi- ciency that the regiment became the best drilled of the command.
On the 20th of July the One Hundred and Eighty-sixth was ordered to Nashville. This consequently returned General Wildes to the command of his regiment. Sep- tember 13, orders were received to pre- pare the rolls for the muster out of the regiment. On the 25th of September they were mustered out, and paid, at Co- lumbus, Ohio. The regiment faithfully and earnestly performed every duty re- quired 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 Worces- ter, near Monroeville, to Camp Dennison on the 14th of January, 1862. From there it went to Jeffersonville, Indiana, op- posite Louisville, Kentucky, in the follow- ing February. Then it moved on the 2d of March, 1862, to Nashville, Tennes- see, and arrived there March 18. On the 20th 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 Land- ing and went into camp four miles from the river.
During the first year of its service the Third Ohio Cavalry was attached to Gen- eral T. J. Wood's division, and most of the time was under his immediate com- mand; and the history of Wood's division is referred to for the gallant acts the regi- ment performed. From this time on the regiment did faithful service. It fought many hard battles and displayed those
qualities which reflect honor to every in- dividual, 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 gal- lant body of men, would need a whole book. It fought, and marched, and charged with unflinching obedience to orders. It suffered without complain- ing 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 Gen- eral 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.
