HISTORY OF VAN WERT AND MERCER COUNTIES, OHIO.
MILITARY RECORD.
FIFTEENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.
This regiment was organized at Camp Jackson, near Columbus, Ohio, May 4, 1861, but a few days later moved to Camp Goddard at Zanes- ville, where preparations were made for field service. It was then or- dered into West Virginia on guard duty on the Baltimore and Ohio Railway, and advanced as far as Grafton. It took part in the engage- ments at Philippi, Laurel Hill, and Garrick's Ford, and at the expira- tion of the term of enlistment was discharged about the Ist of August, 1861.
The next call of the President was for three hundred thousand men for three years, and the old Fifteenth responded almost unanimously. It was then reorganized at Camp Mordecai Bartley, near Mansfield, and moved to Camp Dennison, September 26, 1861. On the 4th of October the regiment went to Lexington, Kentucky, but eight days later moved to Camp Nevin, near Nolin's Station, by way of Louisville. It was here assigned to the Sixth Brigade, commanded by General R. W. Johnston, of the Second Division, under command of General A. MeD. MeCook, of the Army of the Ohio, then under General Sherman. On the 9th of De- cember, 1861, the division moved out to Bacon Creek, and the next day the brigade occupied Mumfordsville. On the 14th of the month the di- vision broke camp to move against Fort Donelson, but learning of the fall of that fort, a march was made to Bowling Green, and Nashville was finally reached on the 2d of March. Here a camp was formed, but on the 16th the march to Savannah began, that place being reached on the night of April 6. The next morning the Fifteenth marched to the battle ground, and remained in the engagement from noon till 4 o'clock, when the enemy fell back. In this engagement the regiment lost six men killed and sixty-two wounded.
'At Corinth the Second Division formed the reserve force, and so did not move to the front until the 27th of May. It next marched to Bat- tle Creek, Tennessee, where it arrived on the 18th of July. Here it re- mained until the 20th of August, when it moved to Altemonte, and from here to Nashville, which place was reached on the 8th of September. Again it moved out, and on the 25th reached Louisville. The division next pursued Bragg as far as Orchard Knob, and then marched to Nash- ville, November 7, 1862. On the 26th of December the army advanced upon Murfreesboro", and in the battle of Stone River the Fifteenth Regi- ment lost eighteen killed and eighty nine wounded.
On the 24th of July, 1863, an advance was made on Tullahoma and Shelbyville, and in the engagements which followed this regiment took a very prominent part. The division afterward moved to Bellefonte. Alabama, which place was reached August 22, and on the 2d of Septem- ber the march was continued in the direction of Rome, and on the 11th the division took position with the main army in Lookout Valley. Here the regiment occupied the extreme right flank until the morning of the 19th, when it marched for the battle-field of Chickamauga, and was eu- gaged immediately upon its arrival.
It then took part in the siege of Chattanooga and the assault on Mis- sion Ridge. We next find it with the First Brigade, Third Division. Fourth Army Corps, marching to the relief of Kuoxville, Tennessee, where it arrived on the sth of December, and on the 20th the command moved to Strawberry Plans. In January, 1864. the greater portion of the regiment re-eulisted and started to Columbus, Ohio, via Chattanooga, to receive furloughs. On the 10th of February the regiment reached Columbus three hundred and fifty veterans strong, and on the 12th the whole regiment was furloughed.
They next appear at Camp Chase on the 4th of March recruited to the strength of nearly nine hundred men. The regiment reached Nach- ville in March and Chattanooga on the 5th of April. On the Sth it went to Cleveland, Tennessee, and to MeDonald's Station on the 20th, where it remained until the spring campaign. On the 3d of May camp was broken and the regiment joined the army of Sherman at Tunnel Hill. The regiment afterward participated in the battle of Re-aca, aud again in that of Dallas, in which it lost nineteen men killed, three officers, and sixty-one privates wounded and nineteen missing, who were supposed to be killed or desperately wounded. The color guard, with the exception 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 one man killed and five wounded from Company A.
The regiment next crossed the Chattahoochie and finally appeared be- fore Atlanta. After operating ou the rear of Atlanta the regiment was marched to the relief of Resaca, and finally to Columbia. At Nashville the regiment formed the extreme left of the army. It next moved against the enemy's position on the Franklin Pike. After following the enemy to Lexington, Alabama, it went into camp at Bird Springs. It next moved to New Market, Tennessee, in March, and then to Green- ville, to guard against the escape of Lee and Johnston, who were being pressed by Grant and Sherman. In April it was ordered back to Nash- ville, which place was reached about the Ist 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 regiment lay until about the 10th of August, when it marched toward San Antonio. On the 21st it reached the Salado, near San Antonio, where it lay until October 20, when it entered upon post duty in the city. Here the regiment re- mained 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 25, and was discharged on the 27th, after a period of four years and eight months' service.

Forty-Sixth Ohio Volunteer Infantry.
This regiment was recruited at Worthington, Franklin County, Ohio, in September, and organized Oct. 16, 1861. It left Camp Chase for the field Feb. 18, 1862, with nine hundred and seventy-five men, and on the 22d reported at Paducah, Kentucky. It was assigned with the Sixth Iowa and the Fourteenth Illinois in the division of Gen. Sherman. The regiment with four companies of the Fortieth Illinois reached Savannah on the 8th of March, and lay within eight miles of the enemy at Pitts- burg Landing until the main army arrived four days later. The regi- ment posted on the right of Shiloh Church. On the 6th of April compa- nies B and K were on picket, and found the enemy feeling the line throughout the night. In the morning the rebel columns were seen deploying in the distance, and at sunrise a rebel cavalry officer emerged from the timber within thirty yards of the picket line, where, standing a moment, he inquired, " Are these Union pickets ?" With an affirma- tive answer, he was told to advance, but turned his horse away, and was shot dead by the unerring rifle of Sergeant Glenn, who offered up his own life before the day was done. The regiment participated through- out the battle, sustaining a loss of two hundred and eighty killed and wounded and fifteen taken prisoners. On the 27th the army left the field for Corinth. The season was spent along the line of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad and at Memphis, but in November the regiment started on a campaign through Mississippi under Gen. Grant. Ahout one hundred miles out they were compelled to return to Holly Springs to establish communication. The regiment was again stationed on the Memphis and Charleston road, and was largely engaged in raiding Northern Mississippi. In June, 1863, it moved to Vicksburg, and took part in the seige which followed. The city fell, and on July 4th the regiment marched towards Jackson, and at 11 P. M. halted near Big Black River. Companies E and K were sent forward to Berdsong's Ferry, where they found signs of the enemy in front. Gen. Joe Johnston with his army on the way to the relief of Vicksburg, already fallen, was on the opposite bank, and in the morning opened fire on the two compa- nies, which gallantly sustained their position, but at heavy loss. The army came up, pushed Johnston into Jackson, and after several days' fighting forced him from the city, when the regiment returned to Big Black and went into camp. On October 10th the regiment, with the Fifteenth Corps under Gen. Sherman, embarked for Memphis, and from there marched to the relief of Chattanooga, which place was reached on the 20th of November. It next appeared in the battle of Mission Ridge, where it sustained heavy loss, and then entered the Knoxville campaign, afterwards going into winter quarters at Scott- boro', Alabama. Here the regiment was supplied with Spencer ritles, and re-enlisted as veterans. In March it was given a furlough, and reported again at Scotthoro'. 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 tien. Geary's division of the Twentieth Corps. Here the regiment gallantly participated in the battle of New Hope Church. On the 6th of June the brigade passed Acworth and bivouacked until the 9th, when it moved to the vicinity of Kenesaw and rejoined its division.
