THE HOME GUARDS OF AMERICA

Originated in Van Wert, Ohio, in the year 1899 as the result of the combined effort of two men, who have been intimately associated

with every phase of its progress since-Dr. G. J. Eblen, now supreme counselor, and J. W. Evans, now supreme secretary.

These gentlemen had for many years been connected with a number of the best assessment societies and had made a thorough study of the needs of the fraternal system.

While realizing the power for good of the older societies they were conscious of the need of something more substantial in the way of a fraternity wherein business principles should be combined with fraternal charity. After many months of deliberation and consulta- tion they at length determined to organize a new fraternal society on a plan which would embody the ideas and principles which they had long advocated. They were earnest men with sincere convictions and high ideals of the mis- sion of fraternity. ,Their ambition was to form a society which should safeguard the strongest fraternal ties with the strongest finan- cial security.

They selected from their acquaintances five gentlemen who should form the board of man- agers or trustees as required by the statutes of Ohio. The following named citizens of Van Wert formed the first board of trustees or exe- cutive council: Hon. Hiram C. Glenn. Hugh V. Olney, Hon. James B. Smith, H. G. Lehi- mann, J. P. Reed, J. W. Evans and Dr. G. J. Eblen.

These gentlemen at once deposited the sum of $5.coo, as required by the laws of Ohio, to secure the payment of certificates of members who might die before the society was able to pay the claims out of its funds.

The first meeting was held on the evening of February 10th, at which time Alpha Home No. I was instituted by Hon. Hiram C. Glenn and Hon. James B. Smith.

The following officers were elected : Su -. preme counselor, Hiram C. Glenn; supreme

vice counselor, H. G. Lehmann; supreme sec- retary, J. W. Evans; supreme treasurer, Hugh V. Olney; supreme medical director, Dr. G. J. Eblen; supreme manager, James B. Smith.

On the day that the order was instituted, a reserve fund began to be laid aside to insure future stability. However, when in addition to this the "Expectancy Payment Plan" was adopted in 1901, the permanent character of the society was firmly established. Under this plan double assessments or failure are practi- cally impossible. Each certificate when issued is charged with a definite amount. Each mem- ber knows just the amount which his certi- ficate will yield to his beneficiary at death and just the amount that he will have to pay for it. The rates are high enough to enable the so- ciety to fulfill its contracts and the society will grow stronger and stronger as it grows older.

The present officers of the order are as fol- lows: Supreme counselor, Dr. G. J. Eblen; supreme secretary. J. W. Evans ; supreme treas- urer, James B. Smith ; supreme medical direc- tor. Dr. William P. Love: supreme attorney, G. M. Saltzgaber : supreme chaplin, H. F. Mac- Lane: supreme vice counselor, A. L. Phillips; supreme past vice commander, Hugh V. Olney ; supreme guide. J. V. Faudree; supreme con- ductor, R. P. Everly ; supreme Ist shield. E. J. Walter ; supreme 2nd shield, Mrs. Mary Rid- dle. The executive council is composed of the

following: Dr. G. J. Eblen, J. W. Evans, James B. Smith, G. M. Saltzgaber, H. F. Mac- Lane, Dr. William P. Love, George H. Detlor and J. Q. Adams. The auditing committee has three members, namely : E. I. Antrim, Charles F. Manship and C. A. L. Purmort.

There are 125 homes in the following States -Ohio, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Michigan and Kentucky.

The objects of the society are to provide for the welfare of the widow and the orphan. to bring the sunshine of hope and courage into darkened lives. The brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God are taught without the members committing themselves to any form of religion or adopting any political faith. The order teaches that religion is a duty from man to his God; that patriotism is a duty from man to his country ; but that fraternity is a duty of every man and every woman to every human being upon the face of the earth.

The history of the fraternal movement in this country has already been told. Its impor- tance and the magnificent work now being ac- complished need only to be known to be appre- ciated by the great American public. Since its organization in 1868 among the hills of Penn- sylvania, fraternity has spread its protecting arms over ten million homes. Ten times a hundred million dollars have been paid in fra- ternal benefits to its members or their families Five million people. representing the brain and the brawn of the great middle class of our coun- try, are now looking to the fraternal system of insurance for the protection for their homes and their loved ones. In all these years its onward progress has received no check. Its victories are chanted in thousands of homes, but they are the victories of peace and not of war. They tell the story of little ones fed and clothed. of children educated, of mortgages paid and of homes saved to the family.

MILITARY HISTORY OF THE COUNTY

The County's Contribution to the Suppression of the Rebellion-A Brave Deed-The Strange Case of Hugh Thompson-The Squirrel Hunters-The Volunteers for the Spanish- American War-Van Wert's Militia Company.

WAR OF THE REBELLION-15th REGIMENT, O. V. I.

The 15th Ohio Infantry was one of the first regiments to respond to President Lincoln's first call for 75,000 men. Company E was raised in Van Wert on the 17th of April, 1801, proceeded to Columbus and went into camp at Camp Jackson. On the 4th of May it was in- corporated with other companies into the 15th Regiment and ordered to Zanesville for the purpose of drilling and preparing for active service. It was then ordered to West Virginia and for a time was stationed along the Balti- more & Ohio Railroad-from Burton and Glover Gap to Grafton. It took part in the bat- tles of Philippi, Laurel Hill, and Carrick's Ford and at the expiration of the term of enlistment was discharged, August 27, 1861.

At the next call for troops, the 15th reen- listed almost to a man. It was then reorganized at Camp Mordecai Bartley near Mansfield, af- ter which it moved to Camp Dennison, Septem- ber 26, 1861. On the 4th of October it was sent to Lexington, Kentucky, and a week later was moved by way of Louisville to Camp Nevin near Nolin station on the Louisville & Nash- ville Railroad. It was here assigned to the

Sixth Brigade, commanded by Gen. R. W. Johnston of the Second Division under com- mand of General Sherman. On the 9th of December, 1861, the division moved out to Bacon Creek, and the next day the brigade occupied Munfordville. On the 14th of Feb- ruary the division broke camp to move against Fort Donelson, but hearing of the capture of that fort a march was made to Bowling Green. and Nashville was reached on the 2nd of March. After a rest of a day or two they moved to Columbia, Tennessee, on the Duck River, where the rebels had blown up the rail- road bridge. After repairing the bridge and building pontoons, the army was ordered to Savannah, Tennessee, and on the 6th of April at sunrise was within go miles of that city, when the report of cannon announced the open- ing of the battle of Shiloh. They immediately started in light marching order and reached Savannah at II o'clock the night of the 6th. Early in the morning of the 7th they landed by boat at Pittsburg Landing and marched at double quick out to the line of battle, where they lay in reserve from 9 A. M. until 1I

o'clock when they relieved the 15th Regiment Regulars. They were actively engaged from: that time until 4 P. M., when they made the final charge past the old Shiloh Church that drove the rear guard of the rebels from the field. In this engagement the regiment lost 6 men killed and 62 wounded. At Corinth the Second Division formed the reserve force and so did not move to the front until the 27th of May.

The division next marched to Battle Creek, Tennessee, where it arrived on the 18th of July. Here it remained until the 20th of August, when it moved to Altamont and from there to Nashville, which place was reached on the 8th of September. Again it took up the line of march and reached Louisville on the 25th. The division next pursued Bragg as far as Orchard Knob, and then marched to Nashville, arriving there November 7, 1862. On the 26th of De- cember the army advanced upon Murfreesboro and in the battle of Stone River the 15th Ohio had 18 killed and 89 wounded.

On the 24th of July. 1863. an advance was made on Tullahoma and Shelbyville and in the engagements which followed the regiment took a very prominent part. The division afterward moved to Bellefonte. Alabama, which place was reached on August 22nd. On Septem- ber 2nd the march was continued in the direc- tion of Rome and on the 11th the division took position with the main army in Lookout Val- ley. Here the regiment occupied the extreme right flank until the morning of the 19th, when it marched for the battle-field of Chicka- mauga, and was engaged immediately on its arrival.

Later the regiment took part in the siege of Chattanooga and the assault on Mission Ridge. We next find it with the First Brigade, Third Division, Fourth Army Corps, marching to the relief of Knoxville. Tennessee, where it

arrived on the 8th of December. On the 20th the command moved to Strawberry Plains. In January, 1864, the greater portion of the regi- ment reenlisted and started for Columbus, Ohio, via Chattanooga, to receive furloughs. On the Ioth of February the regiment reached Colum- Lus 350 strong, and on the 12th the whole regi- ment was furloughed.

The regiment next appears at Camp Chase on the 4th of March, recruited to the strength of nearly 900 men. It reached Nashville in March and Chattanooga on the 5th of April. On the 8th it went to Cleveland. Tennessee, and on the 20th to McDonald station. where it re- mained until the spring campaign. On the 3rd of May camp was broken and the regi- ment joined the army of Sherman at Tunnel Hill. The regiment afterward participated in the battle of Resaca and in that of Dallas in which it lost 19 men killed. 3 officers and 61 privates wounded and 19 men missing, who were supposed to have been killedor desperately wounded. The color guard with the excep- tion of one corporal were all killed or wounded but that one corporal, David Hart of Company I, brought the colors safely from the field. The army next moved to Kenesaw Mountain and on the 14th of June the regiment lost I man killed and 5 wounded from Company A. The regi- ment next crossed the Chattahoochee and final- ly appeared before Atlanta. After operating in the rear of Atlanta, the regiment was marched to the relief of Resaca and finally to Colum- bia. At Nashville the regiment formed the ex- treme left of the army. It next moved against the enemy's position on the Franklin pike. Af- ter following the enemy to Lexington, Ala- bama, it went into camp at Bird Springs. It next moved to New Market. Tennessee. in March and then to Greenville to guard against the escape of Lee and Johnston, who were being pressed by Grant and Sherman. In April

it was ordered back to Nashville, which place it reached about the first of May, 1865. Here the regiment lay in camp until the 16th of June, when it was ordered to Texas. On the 9th of July it reached Indianola, Texas, and the same night marched to Green Lake. Here the regi- ment lay until the roth of August, when it marcHled toward San Antonio, Texas. On the. 21st it reached Salado near San Antonio, where it lay until October 20th, when it' entered upon post duty in the city.

Here the regiment remained until the 21st of November, when it was mustered out and ordered to Columbus, Ohio, for final discharge. Leaving San Antonio on the 24th of November the regiment reached Columbus, December 25th. and was discharged on the 27th, after a . period of four years and eight months service. Counting the four months served under the first call, the total service was five years.
