The Seventy-sixth Regiment contained about two companies from Stark. The officers were: Company K. James M. Jay, Captain; David R. Kelley, First Lieutenant: Mark Sperry, Second Lieutenant. Company I. Edward Briggs, Captain: James M. Blackman, First Lieutenant; John H. Hardgrove, Second Lieu- tenant. The regimental officers were: Charles R. Woods, Colonel: William B. Woods, Lien- tenant Colonel: Willard Warner, Major; Charles R. Pierce, Surgeon; John W. Mc- Carty, Chaplain. The regiment was recruited for three years' service at Newark, Ohio. where it was organized on the 9th of February. 1562. It immediately proceeded, via Paducah, Ky .. to Fort Donelson, and took an active part in the engagement there. On the 6th of March. it moved to Crump's Landing, where it ro- mained until the 31st, when it marched to Adamsville, and took position in Gen. Lew Wallace's division, on the right of Gen. Grant's army. It made a forced march, on the 6th of April. to Pittsburg Landing, going into line of battle at dark, and being constantly under fire during the remainder of the fight. In a reconnaissance toward Corinth toward the last of April, it charged the rebels, drove them from their position, and destroyed their camp equipage. It moved with the army to Cor- inth, thence to Memphis, where it arrived on the 17th of June, having marched 130 miles with wagon supplies. On the 2Ith of July. it moved down the river and encamped at Hele na. Ark. Here it was placed in the Second Brigade. Third Division. It participated in the

movement down the river to Milliken's Bond in Angust, where a rebel regiment from Louis- iana was surprised, and its camp and garrison ognipage captured. The enemy was followed nine miles, and forty prisoners were captured. A portion of he Seventy-sixth participated in the movement on Haines' Bluff, when four siege-guns, two field pieces and a large quan- tity of fixed ammunition were captured. Early in October, the regiment moved to St. Gene- vieve. Mo .. and a week later. to Pilot Knob, where it rested and re-organized. On the 12th of November, it returned to St. Gene- vieve, and embarked for Camp Steele, Miss. In December, it formed part of the expedition against Vicksburg, but did not engage the enemy. It moved up the river about the 10th of January, 1863, landing at Arkansas Post. The night of the 10th, the regiment marched six miles through mnd and water, and, by 2 o'clock next morning, occupied the canton- ments of the enemy. Shortly after daylight, they moved npon the enemy's works, and, about 1 o'clock, charged within one hundred vards of the rifle-pits, halted, opened fire; and held the position for three hours, when the enemy surrendered. On the 23d, the regiment moved to Young's Point, La. During Febru- ary, the regiment worked largely upon the canal in progress across the neck of land op- posite Vicksburg. On the 2d of April. it moved to Greenville, Miss., and, on the 7th, ronted the rebels, nnder Col. Ferguson, on Deer Creek. It destroyed a million dollars' worth of corn and cotton, and returned to Greenville with large numbers of cattle, horses and mules. About three hundred negroes fol- lowed, who afterward served in colored regi- ments.

During the last of April, it occupied Young's Point and Milliken's Bend, and, early in May, moved to the rear of Vicksburg, arriving at the river on the 6th. At Fourteen Mile Creek it had a brisk skirmish with the enemy's cav- alry: and at Jackson it charged the enemy's works, which were evacuated, and the city surrendered. It moved on Vicksburg, and established itself near the river and within 600 yards of the main lines of the enemy. The guns of the enemy in front were silenced. Heavy details were made for strengthening

the works; and during the nights eight guns were taken from the sunken gunboat Cin- cinnati, and placed in position with telling effect. After the surrender of Vicksburg, it moved in pursuit of Johnson, reaching Jack- son on the 10th of July. Here it was em- ployed in foraging and making reconnois- sances. It rested and re-organized at Big Black Bridge. In September, it moved to Memphis, thence to Corinth, and, during October and November, marched and skir- mished in Northern Alabama and Tennessee. arriving at Chattanooga in time to join Gen. Hooker, in the assault on Lookont Mountain. The regiment was engaged at Mission Ridge. and, on the 27th of November, charged up Taylor's Ridge under a heavy fire, suffering a fearful loss. In one company of twenty men, eight were killed and eight wounded; and seven men were shot down while carrying the regimental colors. The regiment finally went into winter quarters at Paint Rock, Ala. In January, 1864, about two-thirds of the regiment re-enlisted as veterans; and, early in February, the regiment returned to Ohio on furlough, and was warmly welcomed by the citizens. The Seventy-sixth went away 962 strong, and returned in two years with less than three hundred. It returned to Paint Rock in March, and, on the 1st of May, started for Chattanooga, where it arrived on the 6th. and pushed forward twelve miles. It moved through Snake Creek Gap, and continued to advance until the evening of the 14th, when it charged across the fields with its brigade, under a hot fire, and gained a footing on the first line of hills west of Resaca. The enemy evacuated that point about the 16th, and the regiment advanced to Dallas.

In June, the regiment moved to Rossville, thence to within four miles of Atlanta, where it arrived on the 20th of July. Here the reg- iment with the Thirteenth Ohio recaptured four twenty-pound Parrott guns: and later, the Fifteenth Corps, of which the Seventy sixth formed a part, was charged upon three successive times by heavy masses of the ene- my, but without avail. One thousand of the rebel dead were found in front of the Fif- teenth Corps. On the 13th of August, the regiment captured fifty prisoners. On the

was officered as follows: Andrew Day, Cap tain; Charles (. Brandt. First Lientenant : Samnel S. Blackford. Second Lieutenant. Company G. of the Eighty-sixth, was partly composed of Stark County men. The regi ment was organized at Camp Chase on the 11th day of June, 1862. It was ordered to West Virginia, and. on the 17th of lune. arrived at Clarksburg. Here it was stationed to guard the railroad 'and protect Grafton. Summerville, where the non veterans were , which town was the base of supplies for a

26th, it marched southward toward Jones- boro: and. on the night of the 30th, formed in line across Flint River. The rebels charged the line on the following day. but were repulsed. After remaining at East Point about a month. the regiment on the 4th of October. crossed the Chattahoochie, marched through Marietta, Resaca. Snake Creek Gap, and, on the 16th, skirmished with the enemy at Ship's Gap. On the 1Sth. it bivonacked at mustered ont. In November, the regiment started with Sherman for the sea, passing through MeDonough, Indian Springs, Clinton, Irwintown, and down the Ogeechee to the mouth of the Canoochee, thence westward to . Savannah, twenty-six days' march from At lanta, Here it performed provest guard duty until the 9th of January, 1865. when it em- barked for Beaufort. S. C .. and soon afterward marched to Gardner's Corners. On the 31st. it started on the campaign of the Carolinas. It skirmished at Columbia, and, after the evacuation of the city, perfonned provost guard duty for four days. The regiment moved to Fayetteville on the 12th of March, thence to Bentonville, and finally to Raleigh. where it remained until Johnston's surrender. The Seventy-sixth then marched to Washing- ton. D. C., where it shared in the grand review. and shortly afterward moved to Louisville. Ky .. where it was mustered out of service, It then proceeded to Columbus, Ohio, and was discharged on the 24th of July. 1565. The regiment, during its term of service. partiei- pated in forty-four battles and skirmishes: moved 9,625 miles by foot. rail and water. and passed through eleven rebellious States. Two hundred and forty-one men were wounded in battle: 351 died on the fieldl or in hos pitals: 222 carry scars as evidences of their struggle with the enemy; and 282 have the seeds of disease, contracted in the line of duty. It is a sad. but noble record. and the surviv ors may well be prond of the part they took in establishing the permanence and greatness of the American Union.

In June. 1862, Capt. Andrew V. P. Day enlisted a company of 102 men in Stark County. for the 100-day service. in the Eighty- sixth Regiment. The company was J. and

large number of troops. On the 27th of July. Companies A, C, H and I, under the command of Col. Hunter, were ordered to Parkersburg in anticipation of a raid upon that point. The citizens were found greatly excited. and the companies, with the exception of H. which was ordered to different points on the railroad east of the city, remained to guard Parker- burg. In August, this detachment was ordered back to Clarksburg, and thence toward Boy orly as far as Huttonsville to repel the threat- ened invasion of Ohio by the rebels under Jenkins. The latter did not appear, and the Eighty-sixth returned to Clarksburg, reaching that place about the 26th of July. After- ward, in this vicinity, Jonkins succeeded in destroying nearly $200.000 worth of Govern ment stores. It was thought at one time that he contonplated an attack on Chuksburg. allured by the tempting chance of destroying the large stores there, and anticipating this movement the troops removed the store- to Fairmount and Wheeling. The Eighty sixth romainel at and near Clarksburg. prepared to make a vigorous defense. Jenkins, probably aware of the condition of things. continued on toward Weston and the Ohio River. Scon after this, the three months' ton of enlistment expired, and the regiment was ordered to ('amp Delaware, Ohio, where it arrived on the 15th of September. Seven days later. it was paid and mistered out of the service. The regiment was afterward re-organized under a six months' enlistment: but contained no men from Stark County. In the One Hun dred and Fourth Regiment, Companies B. E and part of A were from Stark County, The officers were: Company B. Josse K. Coats. Captain; Franklin A. Perdne, First Lieuten ant; Andrew J. Southworth. Second Lieuten

ant. Company E. Andrew J. Bahney, Cap- tain: Augustus B. Ricks, First Lieutenant; Shepherd M. Knapp, Second Lieutenant. Company A, Oscar W. Stearl. Captain; George V. Kelly, First Lieutenant: William M. Jameson, Second Lieutenant. The regimental officers were: James W. Reiley, Colonel; Asa S. Mariner. Lieutenant Colonel: Lorin D. Woodsworth. Major. It is very probable that other companies than those mentioned eon- tained men from Stark County. as the regi- ment was organized at Camp Massillon. About the Ist of September, the regiment left the last-named camp for Cincinnati, and upon its arrival was sent across the river to Cov ington, and went into eamp three miles out on the Alexandria Turnpike, to prevent the threatened attack of Kirby Smith on

"The Queen of the West. In her garlands dressed. On the banks of the Beautiful River."

Later it was sent to Covington, and thence to Fort Mitchell, where. in a slight skirmish with rebels, one man was killed and five wounded. The rebel loss was twice as great. This was the first and only blood spilled in defense of the "Queen City." September 12, the regiment marched toward Lexington in pursuit of the rebels, and suffered intensely on the way. At Lexington, the regiment re- mained until the 6th of December, and while here received the compliment from the com- manding officer of being the best disciplined regiment in the command. On the 6th of December, it moved to Clay's Ferry, on the Kentneky River, and, on the following day, reached Richmond. Here it assisted in eon- strueting formidable earthworks. On the 27th of December, the regiment moved to Danville, to intercept John Morgan's guerrilla foree. Slight skirmishing occurred, and the troops moved back to Frankfort in January, 1863. Here the regiment was mounted. and assigned provost-dnty antil February 21, when it marched to Danville through the furious snow stom. On the second night, Harrodsburg was reached. It remained in Kentucky, watching the rebel foree under Morgan, Pegram and Cluke, until the fol- lowing summer, and finally joined Gen. Burn- side at Knoxville early in September, 1863.

During this period, the regiment suffered numerous hard marches and privations, and on one occasion lost twenty-five men captured. It was also placed in the First Brigade, Third Division, Twenty-third Army Corps, under Gen. Hartsuff, the First Brigade, under orders marehed with such rapidity to Cumberland Gap as to receive a complimentary telegram from President Lincoln. Gen. Burnside demanded the surrender of the Gap, but was refused. Just as he was preparing to carry it with the bay- onet, the rebel leader surrendered his entire eonand as prisoners of war. The One Hundred and Fourth was the first regiment to enter the works. In November, at the siege of Knoxville, the regiment was ordered to the south side of Holston River, where it had a spirited engagement, and the enemy was repulsed with considerable loss. Great hardships were endured by the men during the siege. Later, it skirmished with the retreating rebels under Gen. Longstreet. It spent the winter in the vicinity of Blain's Cross-Roads, and during this dreary period was but half fed and half clothed. In April, 1864, it was ordered to Cleveland, Tenn., where the troops were preparing for the Atlanta campaign. It moved forward with the army, and in the desperate assault at Utoy Creek lost twenty-six officers and men killed and wounded. It accompanied the movement to Jonesboro, but did not participate in the engagement. It tore up railroads and guarded lines of communication until the fall of Atlanta, when it marched to Deeatur. In October it moved North with Gen. Thom- as, passing through Marietta, Aeworth, Alla- toona, Cassville, Kingston, Rome, Calhoun, Resaca, Snake Creek Gap, Gaylorsville, and finally reached Cedar Bluff, Ala. Near the last of the month, it moved to Rome, Ga., thence to Dalton, where, on the 6th of No- vember, it took cars for Nashville. It moved to Spring Hill, Columbia, Pulaski, thence baek to Columbia, where it had a skirmish with a force of rebel cavalry. After this. in other skirmishes, it lost several men killed and wounded. It participated in the fight at Franklin, the severest in which it was ever engaged, losing sixty killed and wounded, including Capt. Kimball and Lient. Bard,

who were both shot dead. Several Lieuten ants were severely wounded. The battle be- gan at 5 o'clock on the evening of November 30, and lasted five hours. After the fight, the regiment marched to Nashville, where it ro- mained until December 30, when it moved to the right, and, in a slight skirmish, lost three men wounded. On the 16th, it participated in a charge on the enemy's works. In Jan ary, the regiment was transferred to Federal Point. N. C. On the 18th of February, it skirmished with the rebels near Fort Ander- son, losing tive men killed and wounded. Two days later, at Old Town Creek, it charged the enemy, losing two killed and twenty wounded. After occupying several points and taking part in the grand review at. Raleigh, it was finally mustered out of service on the 17th of June, 1865, at Greensboro. On the 27th of June, it was paid off and discharged at Cleveland.

The One Hundred and Seventh Regiment was represented by more than a company from Stark County. The regiment was largely German, and was organized at Camp Taylor, near Cleveland, August 25, 1862. Seraphim Meyer, of Canton, was chosen Colonel: Charles Mueller, Lieutenant Colonel: George Arnold, Major: and C. A. Hartman, of C'leve- land, Surgeon. It remained at Cleveland preparing for the field until the latter part of September, when it was ordered to Covington. Ky. Companies A and D and about fifty men of Company H were from Stark County. The officers of Company A were: Captain. Peter Sisterhen: First Lientenant, Jacob Hose; Second Lieutenant. John H. Piero. Those of Company D were: Captain, Ber nard Steiner: First Lieutenant, Samnel Sur burg; Second Lieutenant, William T. Bech- tel. Those of Company H were: Captain. Augustus Vignos: First Lientenant. John Sinning: Second Lieutenant, Philip Setzler. The regiment was ordered to Covington to assist in repelling the threatened attack of Kirby Smith on Cincinnati. At the end of a week, it was ordered to Delaware, Ohio, and soon afterward to Washington, D. C., where it was employed for nearly a week on the for- tifications of that city. Early in November, it was ordered to Fairfax C. H., Virginia,

and two weeks later to Stafford C. H., where it was assigned to the Second Brigade, First Division, Eleventh Army Corps. Maj. Gen. Sigel commanding. Two weeks later, it was ordered on a flanking expedition to the left and rear of Fredericksburg, to co-operate with Gen. Burnside on a second attack against that point, but the design was foiled by bad roads, and the regiment fell back with the army to Brooks Station, where it went into winter quarters. On the 29th of April, 1863. the whole division moved across the Rappa- bannock to Chancellorsville, and took part in the bloody battles there on the 2d and 3d of May. The regiment went into battle under Col. Meyer, and the corps under Gen. Howard. While the storm of battle was threatening. the commanding officer rode along the lines to encourage the men, which he did by telling them that the enemy would attack them in front, and that they must tire low and not throw away a single shot. But the Fates had decreed otherwise. That wonderful man, "Stonewall" Jackson, completely flanked the Union lines, and with his legion of desperate rebels swept like a spirit of destruction upon our lines, scattering the men like chaff before the gale. The One Hundred and Seventh suffered terribly, losing 120 officers and men killed, wounded and missing. The Reg- imental Surgeon, Dr. Hartman. was instantly killed by a heavy shot which struck him in the abdomen, tearing him in a frightful man- nor. Company D, from Stark County, lost some twenty men killed, wounded and miss ing. Company A lost about as heavily, and Company H lost eighteen men. On the 6th of May, the regiment returned to Brooks Sta tion, where it remained until June 12, when it was ordered North to assist in intercepting Gen. Lee, who had invaded Pennsylvania. It passed through Catlett's Station, Manassas Junction, Centerville. Frederick City, and Emmettsburg, reaching Gettysburg on the morning of the Ist of July. and instantly on gaging in the battle on the right wing. Dur- ing the day, it was compelled to fall back through the town of Gettysburg to Cemetery Hill, where it remained during the continu- ance of the battle. While falling back. the regiment lost in killed. wounded and missing

250

250 officers and men. On the second day's tight it participated in the headlong charge. capturing a flag from the Eighth Louisiana Tigers, and again losing heavily. The regi- ment went into the battle of Gettysburg about 550 strong, and came out with less than one Indred and fifty men, rank and file. Lient. Col. Mueller was wounded in the arm, Capt. Steiner, of Company D, was shot through the bowels, from which he afterward died. Ad jntant Young, who captured the rebel flag, was severely wounded. Capt. Vignos, of Canton. had his right arm terribly shattered, necessitating amputation, which was not per- formed, however, until two or three days after the battle. Nothing dannted by the fearful loss, the remnant of the regiment. 111 guns strong, joined in pursuit of the rebel army, following it to Hagerstown, thence to Cat- lett's Station, in Virginia. On the 1st of Angust, the regiment was removed on trans- ports to Folly Island, S. C., where it per- formed picket duty until January, 1864, when it was removed by boat to Kiowah Island. It waded over to Seabrook Island. driving the rebels from that point, and returning to Folly Island, where it remained until the 7th of February, when a similar expedition was made across Seabrook Island to John's Island. in order to cover the operations of Gen. Gil- more at Olustee, Fla. A lively skirmish was had with the rebels at John's Island. It re- turned to Folly Island on the 11th of Febru- ary, and. on the 23d. was taken on transports to Jacksonville, Fla., where it had several light skirmishes with the enemy. In July it moved to Fernandina, but, a month later, re- turned to Jacksonville. On the 29th of De- cember, it was taken on transports to Devos Neck. S. C., where it had several skirmishes with the enemy, losing five men killed and abont fifteen wounded. It afterward marched to Pocataligo Station, thence to Gardner's Corners, where it did picket duty some seven days. It then with some detention marched to Charleston, S. C., and soon afterward was taken by boat to Georgetown, doing picket duty there until the 23d of March, when it moved to Sumterville, meeting and defeating the enemy, and capturing three pieces of artillery, six horses and fifteen prisoners,

with the loss of four men wounded. At Sin- gleton Plantation it met the enemy, and lost two men wounded. Near this point it de- stroved considerable railroad property. On the 16th of April, 1865, the news of the sur- render of Lee and Johnston reached the regi- ment. It moved back to Georgetown. and three weeks afterward was conveyed by steamer to Charleston, doing provost duty until July 10, when it was mustered out of the service and sent to Cleveland, at which point the men received their pay, and imme- diately started with light hearts to meet the loved ones at home, and to receive the warm- est thanks of their fellow-citizens.

In the One Hundred and Fifteenth Regi- ment, Companies B, E and F were almost or ‹mite wholly from Stark County, and, in ackdi- tion to this, about thirty men of Company K were from Massillon, some twenty of Compa- ny I from near Alliance, and a few from the county in Company D, making a total of about four companies from "Molly Stark." These companies were officered as follows: Com- pany B, Lewis F. Hake, Captain; John S. Orr. First Lieutenant; William Pence, Second Lientenant. Company E, Joseph S. Harter, Captain; J. G. Mohler, First, Lieutenant; G. M. Hershey, Second Lieutenant. Company F, Alfred J. Ware, Captain; H. C. Ellison, First Lieutenant; H. C. March. Second Lieu- tenant. Company K, William Ramsey, Cap- tain: A. W. Thompson, First Lieutenant; J. N. Campbell. of Stark County, Second Lien- tenant. The regiment was organized at Camp Massillon in August, 1862, and was mustered into the service September 18, 1862, by Capt. A. E. Drake, of the Second United States Infantry. The regimental officers were: Jackson A. Lucy, Colonel: Thomas C. Boone, Lieutenant Colonel: Isaac H. Fitch, Major; II. B. Johnson, Surgeon. The regi- ment was at first 985 strong, received during its term of service over three hundred reernits. and at muster-out numbered 630 officers and men. About the Ist of October, 1862, the regiment was ordered to report to Gen. Wright at Cincinnati, where it arrived on the 4th. Five days later, it was separated in two divisions of five companies each. one under the command of Lieut. Col. Boone, proceed-

, eighty in number, who had been captured in the block-houses already referred to, and who had been paroled and placed on board the ill- fated steamer Sultana bound for the North, were killed and wounded by a terrible explosion on board the boat. The regiment performed other guard duty in Tennessee until the 23d of June, 1865, when it was mustered ont of service by Capt. W. S. Wilson, A. C. M., receiving its final discharge and pay at Cleve- land July 7, 1865.

ing to Camp" Chase, Columbus, to do guard duty, and the other, under Col. Lney, remain- ing at Cincinnati, to act as provost guard. The two divisions exchanged commanders in November. 1862, Col. Lney going to Mays- ville. Ky., and Lieut. Col. Boone remaining at Cincinnati. Col. Lucy, with five companies of the regiment, was ordered from Maysville to Covington in December. 1862. where the troops did provost-duty until October, 1563, when they were relieved and ordered to report to Gen. Rosecrans at Chattanooga. Reaching Col. Boone. at Cincinnati, had charge of all prisoners. military and political, and of for- warding troops to their respective regiments. He was in command there when the civil and military authorities were brought in conflict. The Colonel refused to obey the writ of habeas corpus issued by Judge Paddock, of Hamilton County, for the delivery of certain deserters to the civil authorities: whereupon a warrant for the arrest of the Colonel was issued, but could not be executed, on account of the guard which constantly surrounded the person of the commanding officer. In July. 1863, Col. Boone called out his battalion to assist in the pursuit of John Morgan, and. in October of the same year, the regiment proceeded to the front, and was assigned to the Fourth Divis- ion, Twentieth Army Corps. Although this regiment was thoroughly reliable and well- drilled, it was not permitted to be massed on the field at any time. Murfreesboro. it was joined by the other divis- ion, and was ordered to report to the post- commander for duty. A portion of the regi- ment was at once mounted, and sent after rebel guerrillas, infesting the country between Nashville and Tullahoma. In June, 1864. that portion of the regiment not mounted was posted in block-houses on the Nashville & Chattanooga Railroad, to prevent the track from being destroyed by the guerrillas. In August, one of the block-houses under the protection of Sorgt. Flohr, of Company B. was captured by rebel forces under Gen. Wheeler. Another one, commanded by Lieut. Orr of the same company, was attacked at the same time, but the rebels were handsomely repulsed. Lient. Orr lost three men killed and seven wounded, ont of the detachment of forty men. Soon after this, Company K (mounted) surprised and captured a squad of guerrillas, losing Sergt. Richmond killed The One Hundred and Sixty-second Regi- ment, with the exception of one company from Brown County, was wholly from Stark County. The regimental officers were: Eph- raim Ball. Colonel: James E. Dougherty. Lieutenant Colonel: Benjamin A. White leather. Major. Many of the men were wealthy or in good circunstances. The reg- iment was mustered into the 100-day service in May. 1864, at Camp Chase, when Compa- nies A. C. F and K were assigned duty at Tod Barracks, near Columbus, and the remain- ing companies at Camp Chase, where they remained until they were ordered into Ken- tucky to assist in repelling John Morgan. The regiment arrived at Covington the day after Morgan's defeat at Cynthiana. Several companies were placed on duty here, and the and three men wounded. Portions of C'om- panies C, F and G were afterward captured by rebel forces under Forrest. One of the block- houses was assaulted and surrounded by reb- els. and for fifteen days the garrison darod not venture outside. Another commanded by Lieut. Harter was assaulted by the enemy with three pieces of rifled artillery. and. from 9 o'clock in the morning until dark. a contin nous fire was kopt up. occasioning a loss of two killed and five wounded. Under cover of the night. the garrison withdrew to Nash- ville. One battalion of the regiment with other troops garrisoned Murfreesboro, when that place was attacked by Gen. Buford. After five hours of hard fighting. Gen. Rons- seau repulsed the rebels with heavy loss. The members of Companies B. C. F and G. remainder of the regiment sent down the
