A BRAVE DEED.
During the Atlanta campaign between Big Shanty and Kenesaw Mountain, the 15th Ohio Infantry was on picket duty. In the evening orders were given to take off all the new re- cruits and put on only the old tried men.
The night of June 18th and morning of the 19th, Peter B. Cupp and Milton B. Evers of Company H, 15th Ohio Infantry, were on one post. They would fire in the direction of the
rebel's picket line and the rebels would reply. About three o'clock in the morning the rebels ceased to reply to picket firing. Cupp, believ- ing that the rebels were withdrawing and know- ing that early information to that effect would be of immense benefit to the Union Army started out to reconnoiter. After going about a half mile, he came to the deserted rifle-pits and then to the rebel fort that had engaged in the artillery duel the day before. But all was quiet here. He pushed on for some dis- tance till he came to the hastily deserted camp of the enemy, the fires still smoldering. Here he met and captured two Irishmen belonging to the 26th Georgia, who were deserting. He then started back with his prisoners for the picket line, knowing that the information that he and his prisoners could give would be of immense value. But as he passed to the left of the fort he came face to face with Company D, Second Georgia Heavy Artillery, Capt. S. Yates Levy and Lieutenant Cummins and 16 men (they were just from Mobile, Ala- bama). They were marching left in front, the lieutenant in command. The lieutenant halted Cupp and demanded that he surrender. This Cupp refused to do, and told them they were within the Union lines and that two regiments had gone around to the right of the fort. Here he called upon his prisoners to confirm his story, and as they did not wish to be taken back they said that it was true.
The lieutenant then said "Captain, we are gobbled up now." Cupp then demanded their surrender and told them to have their men ground arms, which was done. He then took the officers' swords and revolvers and ordered them to march toward the Union lines. As soon as it became light. the artillery commenced firing over their heads and the captain re- marked, "Young man, your men certainly are not aware of the conditions out here," referring

to the two regiments being out by the fort. To this Cupp replied, "Those guns were loaded in the rain yesterday and it is easier to fire them than draw the loads." This quieted their suspicions and they soon came to the picket line, and to their great surprise and humilia- tion learned that instead of being within the Union lines they were a half mile in front of our picket lines when captured. For nerve and presence of mind this certainly equals anything in the annals of warfare. It was a close squeeze out of a tight place.
General Gibson, hearing of it, sent for Cupp and said, "Cupp, how did you do it?" To which Cupp replied, "General, I was drilling under General Willich's tactics and I threw my- self into a hollow square and surrounded them."
Cupp was a favorite of General Gibson from that day and he never failed to inquire for him when meeting Van Wert people.
HUGH THOMPSON.
The story of Hugh Thompson, a member of Company H, 15th Ohio Infantry, is as strange as fiction and yet as real as the exper- ience of any of our lives.
-
In the battle of Chickamauga Hugh Thomp- son was wounded in the head by a grape-shot. Joseph Baltzell, a comrade near him, noticing that Hugh was wounded and not being able to get an answer from him, picked up his cap and feeling something in it found the grape-shot in the cap. It being dark, he felt of Hugh's head and found a wound on the top of the head over the right ear, passing to about the center of the head and then turning to the right to- ward the front. He ran his finger along the wound to see if the skull was injured. He then put Hugh's cap on his head, gave him the grape-shot and told him to keep it. He then put Hugh's rifle into his hands assisted him to
his feet and told him to come on, as the regi- ment had been ordered to fall back. He no- ticed that Hugh seemed to be kind of dazed but thought he would be all right. When morning came, however, Hugh was missing. It was sup- posed that he had fallen into the hands of the enemy, but not being reported among the pris- oners he was given up as dead.
Nothing was heard of Hugh Thompson by his old comrades for many years until a letter was received, asking if a Henry Thompson had volunteered from Van Wert County, and stat- ing that a Henry Thompson living in Kansas thought he had volunteered from some place in Ohio, but had no distinct recollection of the place or regiment. A farther correspondence elicited the fact that he was not certain as to his name, only that he had a Testament with the name "H. Thompson" written in it. The only distinct recollection that he had was that of being out in a severe snowstorm, almost chilled to death, and of coming to a farm house where the people took him in and cared for him.
He wandered from place to place working at whatever he could get to do. He finally took up a homestead near Harper, Kansas. He was anxious to find out who he was, and where his friends and relatives lived. He recollected go- ing to where there was a large body of water, and he made trips along Lake Erie but could not recognize any place. The Grand Army of the Republic post at his home in Kansas took an interest in his case and sent a full descrip- tion of him, giving marks that would help his friends identify him, one being two fingers that had been injured, another a large scar on one ankle and a third a scar on the forehead. John Acheson, a man that had worked with him, recollected his having mashed his fingers while loading stone at a stone quarry, and that he had put a chew of tobacco on it, tying up the wound with the pocket of his roundabout. which

he tore out for the purpose. The scar on the ankle he recollected was made with a broad-axe in hewing and that he had carried Thompson to the house and nursed him while confined to his bed. The scar in the forehead some of his schoolmates remembered was made while play- ing at school. Thus he was fully indentified by his old associates.
Thompson's recollections were very indis- tinct. He said he had lived with an Uncle Nat. and that he thought there was a building in which they hung up hoes, rakes, cradles and scythes, and that there was a large door with a smaller one in the large one.
The descriptions though vague, were suffi- cient to induce the Grand Army post at Van Wert to send money to bring him here. He was not able to recognize any person. When he was taken out to his Uncle Nat's ( Nathaniel Hattery), they found the granary as he had described, with the farm implements. The small door in the large one was in the barn. After looking around, he said there was an ap- ple tree that had split and one part had lain on the ground but still bore apples. The family on the farm said there had never been such a tree in the orchard. They then went to an- other uncle on an adjoining farm and there the apple tree was, just as it had been before the war. He had but little recollection of his boyhood days. He said he recollected playing with two neighbor girls, one of whom had red hair and the other black. These were his near- est neighbors, and were recognized. He said "But where is the large body of water?" Some of those present recollected that he had been with a party that had gone to the Grand Res- ervoir fishing, which explained why he had searched along Lake Erie for his home. He had no recollection of being wounded but re- membered being led between two men and com- ing to a tunnel. He said they did not enter the
tunnel but walked on and it began to get dark, so dark that he could no longer see the men that were leading him. That was the last moment of consciousness until he seemed to wake up in Indiana seven years afterward. He had a cap, such as he wore in the army, and the Testa- ment with the name "H. Thompson" written on the fly leaf that suggested to him his name.
Application was made for a pension and a special examiner was sent. After a thorough investigation he was granted a pension. He was then a man 45 years old, having been 19 when he entered the army, and few of his com- rades could recognize him. But this is not sur- prising, as he had lost his teeth and was prema- turely old. His descriptive roll was all right. being only a quarter of an inch shorter in height.
His mind is not entirely clouded, yet he has a guardian to look after his interests and attend to his finances.
Such is the sad picture of the life of Hugh Thompson, who gave more than his life for his country.
46TH REGIMENT, O. V. I.
This regiment was organized at Camp Worthington, near Columbus, Ohio. Three Companies A E and K, were largely made up in Van Wert and the northern part of Mercer County. It left Camp Chase for the field Fel)- ruary 18, 1862, with 975 men and on the 22nd reported at Paducah, Kentucky. It was as- signed with the Sixth Iowa and the 14th Illi- nois to General Sherman's division. The regi- ment with four companies of the 40th Illinois reached Savannah, Tennessee, on the 8th of March and lay within eight miles of the enemy at Pittsburg Landing until the main army ar- rived four days later. The regiment was posted on the right of Shiloh Church, when Sherman

HISTORY OF VAN WERT COUNTY
moved up to Pittsburg Landing. On the 5th of April, 1862, Companies B and K were on picket and found the enemy feeling the line throughout the night. In the morning of the 6th the rebel columns were seen deploying in the distance, and at sunrise a rebel cavalry of- ficer emerged from the timber within 30 yards of the picket line where, standing a moment, he inquired, "are these Union pickets?" With the affirmative answer he was told to advance and surrender, but turned his horse away and was shot dead by the unerring rifle of Sergeant Glenn of Van Wert, who was also killed be- fore the day was done. The regiment parti- cipated throughout the day and sustained a loss of 280 killed and wounded and 15 pris- oners.
On the 27th the army left the field for Cor- inth. The season was spent along the line of the Memphis & Charleston Railroad and at Memphis, and in November the regiment start- ed on a campaign through Mississippi under Grant. About 100 miles out. they were com- pelledl to return to Holly Springs to establish communications. The regiment was again stationed on the Memphis & Charleston Rail- road and was largely engaged in raiding North- ern Mississippi. In June, 1863, it moved to Vicksburg and took part in the siege that fol- lowed. The city capitulated on the 4th of July and the regiment marched toward Jackson and at II P. M. halted near Big Black River. Com- panies E and K were sent forward to Berd- song's Ferry, where they found signs of the enemy in front. Gen. Joseph E. Johnston with his army on the way to relieve Vicksburg, already fallen, was on the opposite side of the river and in the morning opened fire on the two companies, which gallantly sustained their position but at heavy loss. The army came up and pushed Johnston into Jackson and after several days of fighting forced him from the
city, when the regiment returned to the Big Black River and went into camp.
On October 10th the regiment with the 15th Army Corps under General Sherman em- barked for Memphis and from there marched to the relief of Chattanooga, which place was reached on the 20th of November. It next ap- peared in the battle of Mission Ridge, where it sustained heavy loss, and then entered the Knoxville campaign, afterward going into win- ter quarters at Scottsboro, Alabama. Here the regiment was supplied with Spencer rifles and the men reenlisted as veterans. In March it was given a furlough and reported again at Scottsboro. It next moved out in May and on the 13th, 14th and 15th engaged in the battle of Resaca and then went to Dallas.
In June the regiment with the division moved to the left and relieved the Second and Third brigades of General Geary's division of the 20th Army Corps. Here the regiment gal- lantly participated in the battle of New Hope Church. On the 6th of June the brigade passed Ackworth and camped until the 9th. when it moved to the vicinity of Kenesaw Mountain and rejoined its division. During the move- ments which followed, the brigade was held in reserve until the 15th, when it was ordered to the extreme left of the army. Here the 46th with its brigade, supported by the other brigades of the division, charged a line of the ridge a half mile distant. This was done so gallantly that 22 officers. 400 men and 600 stand of arms were captured. The division was then placed in the reserve until the 25th, when it took position at the base of Kenesaw Mountain and engaged in skirmishing. On the 26th Wolcott's brigade. with two brigades of General Smith's division. was detailed as a storming party. The next day Wolcott's brigade led the column with the 46th in the. advance as skirmishers. In this assault the

regiment captured 60 prisoners but suffered heavily in killed and wounded. After the bat- tle the regiment moved to the Chattahoochee and finally to Rosswell's factory, where it forced a crossing on the 15th of July. On the 19th it moved toward Atlanta and on the even- ing of the 20th entered the line in front of the city. Here the regiment skirmished until the 22nd, when it assisted in repelling the attack on the 17th Corps. Wolcott's brigade was posted on the left of the 15th Corps and when the engagement opened the brigade faced from the west to the south, partially closing a gap between the 15 and 17th corps. The troops on the right were forced from their position and the enemy gained the rear, while another col- umn in the front was repulsed and that in the rear was captured, and the 46th had the honor of retaking a battery of Parrott guns captured by the rebels earlier in the day. Again at Ezra Church the regiment was engaged. being called to the support of the Third Brigade. During the battle a rebel pris- oner informed the officer of the regiment that he was a member of the 13th Louisiana and had confronted the 46th at Pittsburg Landing. This was made known to the men and they re- doubled their energies and captured the colors of the 13th Louisiana and assaulted with such impetuosity that the colonel with 10 officers and half his men were killed. The flag, which was a present from the ladies of New Orleans, was presented by Gen. John A. Logan to its immediate captor, Harry Davis, and by him was contributed to the trophies of the State of Ohio. The regiment was employed in skirm- ishing until the 26th of August, when it partici- pated with Sherman in his flank movement on Jonesboro. On the afternoon of the 29th the rel:els led an attack. Three companies of the 46th were on skirmish duty and the others in the reserve. The skirmishers held their ground
until the enemy passed their flank, when they formed the reserve. The reserve had orders to charge the rebel line as soon as it showed any signs of wavering. This was done and 4 of- ficers and 50 men were captured. On the 2nd of September the regiment was again engaged and captured the fortified skirmish line of the enemy. It then followed Hardin's retreating army until a halt was made near Lovejoys sta- tion, and the 46th was deployed in front of General Corse's division of the 17th Corps, the 66th Illinois was deployed and an advance or- dered. The enemy was forced to retire and the army went into camp at East Point near Atlanta.
After participating in the campaign against Hood, the regiment returned to the vicinity of Atlanta on the 5th of November. On the 15th it started for Savannah and was engaged in the movements about Macon and finally in the skirmishes around Savannah. After the fall of the city, the regiment embarked, January 10, 1865, for Beaufort, South Carolina. On the 27th it took up the line of march and, reaching Bentonville, was engaged, charged the enemy, captured and held his works and received spec- ial compliments for gallantry. At Raleigh the news of Lee's surrender was received, and shortly after General Johnston surrendered to General Sherman. The regiment then moved to Washington City and on the 14th of May participated in the Grand Review, after which it went to Louisville, Kentucky, where it was mustered out of the service, July 22, 1865, a term of service in which it lost 20 men cap- tured and 705 men killed and wounded or died of disease.
