Two modes for promoting the raising of re- cruits for the Union Army, were adopted dur- ing the Rebellion. One was by providing individual substitutes, and the other by the co-operative efforts of loyal citizens. The lat- ter class were not limited to those liable to

military duty, but embraced also many who were exempt from such liability. Organiza- tions for such purpose were formed in the sev- eral Wards of Toledo, in December, 1864, whose chief immediate object was to raise funds for use as bounty to Volunteers. In this way, enlistmentis were greatly aided, with the result, that with the other bounties paid, the City quota was kept exceptionally well com- plete. The reported operations of the several Ward Clubs, were as follows :

FIRST WARD .- The Club for this Ward was organ- ized December 28, 1864. Fred. A. Jones was the President, C. T. Wales the Secretary, and J. R. Osborn the Treasurer. The Executive Committee consisted of L. II. Pike, F. A. Jones, C. T. Wales, Wm. Baker and M. W. Day ; and the Finance Committee of T. J. Brown, il. Samson, Geo. Platfoot, Dennis Sullivan, Wm. Essing, John Tolman. M. Rall, R. Dunnigan, A. Rutherford, F. Licher, Joseph Wernert, and Geo. R. Rogers. The work of soliciting contributions of $25 and over not proving satisfactory, a meeting of subscribers to the fund was held in January, when a " Mutual Protection Society" was formed, under which the funds raised and to be raised were made available solely for the benefit of the members of the Club. Its Executive Committee consisted of Win. Baker, F. A. Jones, C. T. Wales, L. II. Pike and Geo. Platfoot ; and its Finance and Advisory Committee of M. R. Waite, C. A. King and Col. J. S. Norton. The final report of the Treasurer, made May 27, 1865, showed the total receipts to have been $10,611.50- $7,811.50 from subscribers, and $2,800 from City bonds. The expenditures were-for 28 recruits, to fill quota, $9,680; and $273.20 for expenses; total, $9,953,20 ; leaving a balance of $658.30. This balance was given to the wounded Soldiers and the families of Soldiers of the Ward.

SECOND WARD .- The Club of this Ward was formed December 28, 1864, with Chas. Pratt as President, and A. G. Clark as Secretary, and Nehemiah Waterman as Treasurer. The bounty fixed upon was $28 per man. This was under the call of December 9th, for 300,000 men. The Finance Committee consisted of Richard Waite(Chairman ), John Sinclair, T. B. Casey, L. F. Hubbard, J. T. Southard, E. C. Smith, Henry Spielbush, Henry Williams, John Aschenbrenner, John Byer, Henry Pfefferly, Rev. Father Boff (St. Francis de Sales Church), John O'Farrell and John Gildea. The Recruiting Committee consisted of John J. Barker, A. J. Sprague, Ernest Kibbe, W. C. Cheney, Fred. B. Dodge, H. T. Cook, Geo. Tanner, W. W. Whitney, Fred. Eaton, S. B. Roshong, Fred. N. Burton, P. C. Moross, Chas. J. Burton, Robert A. Wason, James H. Maples, T. B. Casey, A. W. Colton, Ralph H. Waggoner. The final report of this Club was published February 10, 1865, showing the receipts from citizens liable to draft to have been $8,703; from those not so liable, $831; from City bonds issued as

bounty, $3,000; and from ofhier source, $15; making a total of $12,549. Of this sum, $10,620 was paid for 30 recruits to fill the Ward's quota on last 300,000 call; $25 for former recruits; $26 for expenses; and $60 as discount on bonds; making $10,731, and leav- ing a balance on hand of $1,818.

THIRD WARD .- For this Ward a Club was organized January 5, 1865, for the mutual protection of its members. Its officers were: President, H. S. Wal- bridge ; Vice President, Dr. J. G. Nolan ; Secretary, Don. A. Pease; Treasurer, James R. Strong. The Executive Committee consisted of M. 1. Wilcox, R. H. Bell, Dr. J. G. Nolan, Edward Knapp and T. Wegener ; and its Finance Committee of D. H. Miner, Calvin Barker and Milo Bashare. The final meeting of the Club was held February 11, 1865. At that time its funds amounted to about $7,500, in contribu- tions, and $3,000 in City Bonds. Before final adjourn- ment, the Club, in strong terms tendered its thanks to D. Il. Miner, for his services on the Finance Com- mittee. After all was closed up, this Club had a bal- ance of $1,500, the disposal of which is stated else- where.

FOURTH WARD .- The Club in this Ward was organ- ized in November, 1864, with John Paul Jones as President, and C. M. Woodbury as Secretary. A re- port, published January 5, 1865, showed receipts to the amount of $3,485, of which $2,485 consisted of subscriptions, and $1,000 of City bonds. Included in expenditures was $3,000 for 10 recruits. Owing to backwardness of subscriptions, a Mutual Protection Club was organized March 9, 1865. March 10th, the Club had published the names of 175 persons en- rolled and liable to draft, who had not contributed funds for the provision of recruits to save the Ward from draft. The final report of the Club, made April 13, 1865, showed its receipts to have been $13,126.80, including $10,068 from members, and $3,000 in bonds. The expenditures embraced $12,572 for 30 recruits. There was on hand a balance of $137.44, which was turned over to the Ladies' Soldiers' Aid Society. Wm. Markscheffel was Treasurer of the Club.

FIFTH WARD .- " The Fifth Ward Recruiting Club" was organized February 1, 1865, with Wm. Itall as President ; O.W. Dawson as Secretary ; J. T. Newton as Treasurer, and Fred. Witker as Assistant-Treas- urer. The emergency of an impending draft, stimu- lated action. Of $8,000 needed, $4,000 was raised on the spot. February 4th, was published the names of enrolled men who had not contributed in aid of the Club. June 2d, was published the final report of the Club, showing receipts to the amount of $14,521.00, of which $10,781 was from subscriptions, and $3,300 in City bonds. Among expenditures, were $13,895, and $283 discount on City bonds. Of the contribu- tions, $3,055 was from citizens of the Ward not liable to draft.

SIXTH WARD .- Two reports from this Ward were published. The first in February, 1865, showed re- ccipts to the amount of $2,283, including $1,725 in subscriptions, and $558 as City bounty. Of this,

$2,100 was paid for six recruits. The second report, in March, 1865, showed, receipts, $2,492.33, and ex- penditnres, $2,712.50, including $2,655 for 14 reeruits; leaving a deficiency of $220.17. The Treasurers of the Club were R. I. Skidmore and James Raymer.

In 1862, Provost Marshals were appointed at different points in Ohio, Charles Kent, of Toledo, being among those selected, who served until the close of the War.

On occasions of different drafts for Army re- crnits during the Rebellion, more or less of res- idents of the County, filed with Provost Mar- shal Kent, claims for exemption from Military Service, on the grounds of over-age, physical disability, subjection to foreign powers, Rail- road employment and Government Civil Ser- vice.

To October 1, 1862, Lucas County had fur- nished 2,562 recruits for the Union Army ; all of them having been Volunteers-a large por- tion having received bounties from public and private sources.

When the 14th Ohio Regiment passed through Norwalk on its way to the field, a private Sol- dier stepped from the car to the platform at the depot, when a young Miss, quite lame, ap- proached and presented him with a bouquet of fresh flowers, to which was attached the name, " Nellie Mason." Deeply affected by this un- expected mark of respect from one so entirely a stranger to him, he accepted it gratefully, and, as he returned to the car, he said : " You shall hear from me." [le passed on to the camp and the field, and months elapsed before anything was heard from him. Finally he sickened, and after wearisome days he became satisfied that he never should return to his friends. But he did not forget his promise to Nellie, and when the end seemed near, his mind returned more and more strongly to the seene at the Norwalk depot, longing more and more that his pallid brow might feel the gentle hand that bore to him the sweet bouquet. And then, how could he redeem his pledge? When life was nearly extinct, and the honorable dis- charge so many gallant Soldiers receive was nearly his, he settled his accounts, and finding about 860 of his wages left, he placed it in the hands of a fellow-soldier, with his dying in- junction to bear to Norwalk and personally deliver it to Nellie. Inquiry was recently made as to the donor of the bouquet, when it was found that she was the daughter of Alex-

ander Mason, formally of Norwalk and Tiffin, and now of Lima; that her present name is Mrs: Nellie MeConachie; and that she never received the Soldier's gift, nor otherwise heard from him.

November 14, 1864, Governor Brough issued an earnest appeal to the Military Committees of the several Counties of the State, in behalf of the needy families of Soldiers in the Army. In response to such call, the committees of Lucas met and resolved to take immediate action in the case. They appointed a special committee, consisting of General J. E. Hunt, D. E. Gardner, C. A. King, L. L. Morehouse, Win. Taylor, and H. D. Warren, to prepare and issue an appeal to the people of the County in behalf of such objeet. This duty was per- formed. November 26th was set apart as a day of festival, for the distribution of such contributions of money, food, clothing and fuel, as should be made. Local Committees, in the several wards and townships, were appointed to solicit donations. These were as follows :

number of members and other citizens, a gold watch was presented to Colonel P. S. Slevin, on behalf of the officers and men of the 100th Ohio Infantry, that gentleman having been compelled by a severe wound, to relinquish the command of the Regiment.

No part of the grand and multiform work of the suppression of the Rebellion and the preservation of the Union, will stand out in history more noble and heroic, than will that borne by the loyal Christian Women of the United States, in the moral and physical care of the Soldiers of the Union. It is with- out the approach of a parallel in human expe- rience in the magnitude and munificence of its provision. It is due as simple justice to the memory of Florence Nightingale, and the true Women of England who co-operated in her heroic and unprecedented work during the Crimean War, to say here, that their noble ex- ample operated largely in suggesting the more ample and extended service of their worthy American Sisters. This is not the place to at- tempt a history of that branch of the country's patriotic Army ; but it is proper briefly to recognize something of what was done in that direction by a few of the loyal Women of Lucas County, which may be taken as but a sample of like devotion throughout the loyal States.

On the 9th of October, 1861, a few of the Women of Toledo met and organized THE TOLEDO SOLDIERS' AID SOCIETY, under circum- stances not the most assuring of success. It was a movement so entirely new in this coun- try, that the mass of the people had to be edu- cated to a just understanding of its importance and of its methods. But the Toledo pioneers had faith in both the merits of their plan and the final approval and co-operation of their neighbors. For means for operations, reliance was at first had on the membership fee of any sum over 25 cents; but this soon proved to be in- adequate, when (November 5th) a festival was given, and on the 6th, a dinner. In the Win- ter a " Continental Tea Party " met with good results. In April following, 8321.50 was col- lected, which, with other receipts, aggregated for the first year, $1,852.91. Before that year closed, the plan of the Society was made to embrace the care of Soldiers' families at home, as well as of the Soldiers in the field. Among the items of expenditure for the first year, were

these: For hospital stores, $1,142.74; for arti- cles for hospitals, $105.37 ; money to Soldiers' families, $112.98 ; money to invalid Soldiers, $34.50; hotel bills of invalid Soldiers, 889.22. Hospital supplies were sent to the following Camps : Oliver, Toledo ; Worcester, Norwalk, Ohio; and Calvert, Ky .; to hospitals at Nash- ville, Louisville, Lebanon, and Pittsburg Landing; to the Cincinnati Sanitary Commit- tee, and the Ohio Relief Association, Washing- ton, D. C .; and to the following Regiments : The 14th, 25th, 27th, 38th, 49th, 67th, 84th, 100th, and 111th Ohio Infantry, and to the 1st and 2d Tennessee Regiments. In addition to the $1,852.91 stated, the County, through this Society, disbursed to Soldiers' families the sum of $1,266.

The first year's trial was hopeful and en. conraging in its results, and the second year proved even more so. The popular apprecia- tion of the work was increased, with corre- sponding readiness to aid, the total receipts being 83,652.84, of which 8815.07 was from do- nations, including $500 from "a gentleman unknown," and 8423.93 as proceeds of a Fourth of July dinner, prepared by the members of the Society, with assistance, This year closed with 81,163.27 in the treasury. During this year supplies were forwarded to the 55th, 27th, 111th, 67th, and 14th Ohio, and the Anderson Guards; to the Ohio Association at Washing- ton ; to Union Refugees at Cairo (care of Chaplain John Eaton), for destitute " Contra- bands; " to Union Refugees at Springfield, Mo .; to General Hospital, Lexington, Ky .; and to Cumberland (Md.) Hospital. Special men- tion is made of the fact, that Mr. John Gavin (with Bell, Holcomb & Co.) had, during the year, mailed and marked every box and barrel of stores sent away by the Society, refusing compensation for such service.

At the suggestion of the Toledo Soldiers' Aid Society, the citizens of Toledo furnished the 14th Ohio Regiment with a superb stand of colors, manufactured to order at Chicago, and costing $130. The same was presented in March, 1862.

The Secretary's report for the third year (1863-64), said :

As members of the Toledo Soldiers' Aid Society, we may congratulate each other on the marked suc- cess which has attended our efforts during the year. The average attendance at the general meetings has

115

been greater than ever before; the donations have been larger and more spontaneous; and the work ac- complished far beyond our expectations. Our Aux- iliary Societies have been untiring in their efforts, and very liberal in their contributions, and have rendered most efficient aid, in the making of hospital garments. * * Barrels of Blackberry Syrup have been made by our Auxiliaries, they, in most cases, supplying the juice of the roots and berries, and we furnishing the sugar, spices and brandy.

Most of this year's contributions went to the Cincinnati Branch of the U. S. Sanitary Com- mission, but all special calls for aid were met. In November, 162 families of Soldiers were provided with Thanksgiving dinners, the cost of which was about 8900. The rooms of the Society were kept open on Wednesdays and Saturdays throughout the year, with ladies in attendance to wait upon calls and receive do- nations. The receipts of the year amounted to 82,696,81, and the disbursements, 81,537.07, leaving a balance of $1,159.74. Shipments were made to the 55th, 67th, 100th, 111th, and 130th Ohio Regiments; to hospitals at Louisville, Nashville, Chattanooga, and Camp Nelson ; to the Cincinnati Branch of the U. S. Sanitary Commission; to Ohio Military Agents at Wash- ington and Louisville; and to Quartermaster- General of Obio.

On Thanksgiving Day, 1863, the Toledo Soldiers' Aid Society furnished such of the 175 families of Union Soldiers in the City as were accessible, with a dinner. The donation consisted of 8 lbs. fresh meat (as preferred), 2 lbs. butter, 2 lbs. ground coffee, 4 lbs. sugar, 1 head of cabbage, 1 peck of potatoes, and 10 lbs. of flour.

January 8, 1864, a levee was held at the Oli- ver House, J. D. Bourne, Manager, for the benefit of the Toledo Soldiers' Aid Society, the net receipts of which amounted to $600. The thanks of the Society were tendered to differ- ent parties contributing to the success of the occasion, including James C. Hall, proprietor of the Oliver House, and Misses Mary Hamil- ton, Lottie Steele, Anna Colton and Lottie Haskell, who acted as ticket-sellers.

With the fourth year of the Society's labors but half completed, the War, and with it, largely, the demand for such labors, had ceased; but its operations were maintained until the close of that year (1865). The Secretary's re- port very justly congratulated the members of

the organization on the work accomplished. It said :

In all the demands made upon our time, our labor and our money-in all the inconveniences and an- noyances, which, of course, are inseparable from efforts of this kind-we have had one great source of joy and satisfaction. We have never doubted the utility of this and kindred organizations. We know that our work was not in vain. We were strong in the consciousness that our "Boys" did enjoy the comforts we provided. We look back upon the days and weeks in which we have been associated here, as the golden period of our lives. The almost unbroken companionship of four years is now closed. Let us never forget those whose necessities have occupied so large a share of our time and thoughts. Let not the sight or the name of a Union Soldier ever fail to command our highest respect-our deepest gratitude. They all deserve a thousand times more than we gave them; for they have seeured for us the freedom of our bondsmen, the safety of our homes and country, and the respect of the civilized world.

In her final report, the Corresponding Sec- retary (Mrs. E. P. Osborn) said :

Much of our success as a Society, is due to the un- tiring energy and singular self-devotion of our first President (Mrs. Samuel A. Raymond). Quick to de- vise and prompt to execute, she gave all her time and ability to the duties of her office. Her strength failed, and with health seriously impaired, she was compelled to see others complete the work she had so judiciously and faithfully begun. Her mantle fell upon worthy shoulders, and those who have since assumed the duties of the principal offices, have served faithfully and ably.

While eulogy is not a special work of the compiler of this volume, it cannot be improper here to say, that the above recognition of the services of Mrs. Raymond was just. Many names might properly be added to hers in the same connection ; but those of two should not here be omitted. First, that of Mrs. E. Perigo, whose long, diversified and self-sacrificing works of labor and personal kindness, are in the memories and hearts of very many Soldiers and Soldiers' families. She has passed from the scenes of earthly needs and earthly cares, and it cannot be indelicate to say, that to no resident of Toledo were the Soldiers more in- debted for the good offices of this Society, thau to her. Second, it now becomes eminently fitting in behalf of the memory of the faithful, untiring and efficient Secretary who penned the foregoing testimony to the Society's first President's faithfulness, and who also has

116

HISTORY OF TOLEDO AND LUCAS COUNTY.

passed from earthly labors, to bear witness in this connection to her fidelity and great use- fulness. The name of Mrs. Osboru will long be recognized by Soldiers and families of Sol- diers, as that of a true and sympathizing friend. Many other true women-some dead and some yet living-though less prominent, were no less devoted to the cause of the Republie and to the support and comfort of the Republic's defenders.

The total of cash receipts of the Society for the four years, was $10,079.90, with disburse- ments amounting to $9,653.55 ; leaving a bal- ance on hand of $376.35. Among the donations to Soldiers' families, and to sick and disabled Soldiers, was $1,923.62 in cash, and orders for provisions, 8224. Included in the hospital stores prepared by the Society, were 239 bed- ticks, 295 pillow-ticks, 677 pillow-cases, 625 sheets, 2,448 shirts, 1,092 pairs drawers, 1,219 pairs socks, 16,210 yards (9 miles) of bandage, 145 rolls cotton and linen, 629 cans fruit, 25 barrels dried apples, 2} barrels blackberry syrup.
