HISTORY OF TOLEDO AND LUCAS COUNTY.


EIGHTY-FOURTH REGIMENT, OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.


May 26, 1862, Governor Tod called for 500 additional men for three months, for three years, or for guard duty. The first Company to respond was the Toledo Light Guards, Captain Richard Waite, of Ohio Militia of the Reserve, which reported June 3d. A second Company, recruited in Toledo by Uriah Greg- ory (then proprietor of the Ohio Business College) and Edmond Paine, left Toledo June 5th, for Camp Chase, where the Eighty-Fourth Ohio Regiment was organized June 7th, in which the first named was Company A, and the other Company K. The Regiment left for Cumberland, Maryland, on the 11th of that month. From that point detachments were sent in different directions for preventing the passage of arms and supplies into the Rebel lines, capturing Rebel mails, and put- ting an end to guerrilla operations. Septem - ber 13th, it was ordered to New Creek, where an attack by the Rebel forces under Jackson and Imboden was anticipated, but did not occur. Its term of service having expired, the Regiment returned to Ohio, and after being reviewed and highly complimented by Governor Tod at Camp Delaware, was mus- tered out.


Second Lieutenant Colton died at Cumber- land, Maryland, of typhoid fever, August 10th, 1862, aged 18 years. He was a young man of rare promise, no less in the high personal character to which while yet in his youth he had attained, than in the rare talents preco- ciously developed. lle was a son of Carlos Colton of Toledo, then Secretary of the Toledo Board of Trade. The son's interest in military affairs was early shown, in which he had attained unusual proficiency before


the Rebellion broke out. Ile had been for some time the Captain of the Toledo High School Cadets when he volunteered in the Eighty-Fourth Regiment. An expression by the Regiment on the occasion of his death, contained this specific testimony to his charac- ter and habits, to wit : " He was, in his mor- als, worthy the imitation of the most virtuous. He never was known to utter an oath or drink a drop of liquor."


ROSTER, THREE MONTHS' SERVICE ..


[Nearly all the men entered the service May 27th, 1862, and with the exceptions named, all were mus-


tered out with the Company about October 1st, fol- lowing.]

The Regiment was organized at Toledo in July and August, and was mustered into the service September 1, 1862. On the 8th it moved to Cincinnati, for the defense of that City, then seriously threatened by raids. The Rebel Army under General Bragg was then threatening Cincinnati, and the Regiment was placed in trenches at the left of Fort Mitchell, on the Lexington Pike, Kentucky. As Bragg did not attempt an assault on Covington Heights, as apprehended, little came of the movement, although, with fresh troops, the case was by no means a trifling one. The Rebel force soon re- treated to Tennessee, via Lexington and the Cumberland Passes. Colonel Groom having resigned, Lieutenant-Colonel Slevin was pro- moted, his rank dating May 25, 1863. He con- tinued in command until wounded for life, August 6, 1864, in a charge on the enemy's works in front of Atlanta, Ga. The command then devolved on Captain Frank Rundell, who retained the same until the release of Lienten- ant-Colonel Hayes from Rebel prison. May 12, 1865, he resigned, when Captain Rundell, meantime promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, was placed in command, retaining the same until muster out, July 1, 1865.


The Regiment having been assigned to the Second Brigade, Third Division, Army of Ken- tucky, moved in pursuit of the retreating Rebels to Lexington, Ky., where it went into camp on the Fair Grounds. Remaining in Ken tucky during the Winter and Spring, doing garrison duty, and pursuing Rebel Cavalry raiders until August, 1863, it then entered upon a more active campaign, as part of First Bri- gade, Third Division, Twenty-Third Corps of


the Army of the Ohio. It then marched with Burnside's force across the Cumberland Monn- tains, and assisted in the capture of Knoxville, Teun., the Rebels evacuating upon the approach of the Union troops. At Knoxville a part of the Regiment was detailed for provost duty, while the balance (some 300 men), under Major Hayes, were sent to Limestone Station, East Tennessee, about 100 miles distant, to intercept the Rebels and prevent the destruction of the Railroad bridge at that point. The detach- ment reached the bridge at midnight, when the Major left 25 men under Lieutenant Hine, Company H, at the bridge, and proceeded to Jonesville, 10 iniles distant, where a Rebel Bri- gade was encamped under General " Mudwall " Jackson. At day-break Major Hayes moved upon the Rebel pickets, and drove them to their camp. He then placed his command aboard the cars, and fell back to Limestone Station. Here he disembarked, and deployed on picket line. The little command had scarcely deployed on the skirmish line when the Rebels made attack. Major Hayes held his men in line from 12 M. to 5 P. M., when by repeated as- saults, his command was driven into small block-houses at the bridge. Of this the enemy's artillery soon had range, when the Union force (265 in number) was compelled to surrender. Of these, 85 died in Rebel prisons from starva- tion and exposure. This capture was a sad blow to the young and promising Regiment. It was fortunate in the liberal recruits received by it during the following winter, preparing it for participation with Sherman in the Georgia campaign.


Soon after Burnside entered Knoxville, Gen.


189


THE WAR OF THE REBELLION- FIELD WORK.


Carter, of the United States Army, was ap- pointed Provost Marshal of East Tennessee, with headquarters at that point. He issned safeguards for all who asked for them for several miles about, making it difficult to pro- vide stocks of supplies for the troops and horses. Hence, when the Rebel General Long- street placed the City under siege, resources for food were limited to the Holston. The men were limited to one-third rations, and these of the poorest quality. The result was severe suffering. Large numbers of the cattle designed for the troops became useless, some dying from starvation.


General Reilley's Brigade, of which the One Ilundredth was a part, was designated as the Reserve, to be ready for any movement which the situation might indicate. Hence, the men were denied the use of tents or other protection from the weather, often from cold and rain very severe, causing much suffering therefrom, as well as from hunger, during the three weeks' siege. At length, General Sherman brought deliverance by driving off Longstreet and rais- ing the siege. The Rebel force retreated toward Bull's Gap and Richmond, followed by General Burnside's main force ; a small detachment, in- cluding the One Hundredth Ohio, being left to gnard Knoxville, Colonel Slevin being in com- mand. It was deemed fortunate that the Rebels were not advised of the inadequate force then left in charge of that important point.


Early in the Spring of 1864, General Cox's Division, including the One Hundredth Ohio, marched to East Tennessee, where it remained until May, when, after destroying the Railroad and bridges in its rear, it rejoined the Twenty- Third Corps at Knoxville, then under command of General Schofield, taking the line of march for General Sherman and the Atlanta cam- paign, in which the Regiment bore an active and honorable part, as shown by the foregoing list of battles. It lost heavily, especially at Rocky Face Ridge, Dalton, Resaca, Cartersville, Dallas, Kenesaw Mountain, and Chattahoochie River. On 6th of August General Reilley's Brigade was ordered to charge on the enemy's works in front of Atlanta, and to carry them at all hazards. In that desperate action the Bri- gade lost, in killed and wounded, 600 men, in- cluding 103 out of 300 of the One Hundredth. Col. Slevin was among the severely wounded.


From Atlanta the Regiment joined in the


pursuit of Hood and afterwards participated in the battles of Franklin and Nashville. With the Twenty-Third Corps, it moved to Wil- mington, North Carolina, and was there ac- tively engaged. Thence it moved with Sher- man's Army to Raleigh. It then moved to Greensboro, whence it proceeded to Cleveland, Ohio, where it was mustered out July 1, 1865, having served two years and 10 months During its term of service, the Regiment lost 65 men killed in battle; 142 wounded ; 27 died of wounds ; 108 died of disease ; 325 were cap- tured by the enemy ; and 85 died in Rebel prisons. It participated in the battles of Le- noir Station, Knoxville, Rocky Face Ridge, Resaca, Dallas, Etowah Creek, Columbus, Franklin, Nashville, Town Creek, Wilmington and Goldsboro, besides numerous skirmishes.


At Cleveland, on its return, the Regiment was provided with a bountiful supply of re- freshments, and at the Park was addressed on behalf of the citizens by A. T. Slade, Esq., who, in the course of his remarks, said :


Think of it. The Confederate soldier goes to his home, after years of fruitless resistance to his Govern- ment, to find that home desolate-his friends killed or scattered-with no pay, no pension, no land, no thanks-to go down, for all time, as a traitor to this great and good Government. Yon, on the other hand, after years of fighting, find your homes joy- ous-with pay, with pensions, with the gratitude of your loyal countrymen ; and, above all, and over all, with an undivided country-with names that poetry and eloquence shall vie to honor.


April 2, 1864, was published at Toledo a let- ter from Lieutenant Norman Waite, 100th Ohio, asking the people of Toledo to furnish that command with a new stand of colors, for reasons which he stated as follows :


Sept. 8, 1863, 300 of the Regiment met 1,200 of the enemy and fought them from 9 to 11:30 A. M., and repulsed them, and then fell back six miles, and from 1:30 till 5 p. M., fought 2,100 Rebels with four cannon, our boys having no artillery-holding them until their last cartridge was fired, and then retiring into log stockades, which the enemy soon knocked down over their heads, and only surrendered when over- powered by seven to one. We have lost one flag and have one-half of the other, filled with bullet-holes, the balance having been shot away by a shell from the enemy's guns. Will not the citizens of Lucas County see that this Regiment-true to its country- true to its State, and an honor to this District-is furnished with a new stand of colors ?

HISTORY OF TOLEDO AND LUCAS COUNTY.


Within three days of such publication the requisite sum of money was on its way to Lieutenant Waite, where it was duly received.


In a letter, dated at Libby Prison, Novem- ber 8, 1863, Captain W. W. Hunt furnished a list of members of his Company (E) then held at Belle Isle, as follows : Sergt. N. Stutgard. Corp. James D. Knight. Privates-Harry Stark, Ira Beverly, Milo Metcalf, Truman M. Tyler, Daniel Navarre, Miles A. Aldrich, Henry Berner, John Cuthbert, Samuel Berry, Levi Lenardson, Charles LaFountain, Lewis M. Poierier, Wm. James, George W. Seymour, James Brimson, Alonzo Sabin, Conrad Folmer, Harry Albert, D. R. Streeter, Daniel Clark, and Wm. Day.


On the 28th of March, 1865, the battle-flag of the One Hundredth Ohio was delivered to the Toledo Board of Trade, by Captain J. B. Bliun, accompanied by the following letter :


ILEADQUARTERS 100TH O. V. L., Ist BRIG., 3D Drv., 23D A. C. WILMINGTON, N. C., March 4, 1865.


1


SIR-In behalf of the officers and men of this Reg- iment, I have the honor to present to you this tattered banner, with the request that it may be preserved by the Toledo Board of Trade, in memory of the brave men who have gallantly carried and defended it in the battles of Utoy Creek and Atlanta, Columbia, Franklin and Nashville, and of Town Creek ; also in sacred remembrance of Color-Corporal Byron C. Bald- win, who yielded up his life in its defense at Frank- lin, Tennessee, saturating its folds with his precious blood. Its term of service has been short-less than a year-but it is covered with honorable scars, worthy of a veteran. Presented to us by the citizens of To- ledo, we know of no better bands in which to deposit it, than yours.


Your obedient servant, E. L. IIA YES, Brevet Brig .- Gen. To the President of Toledo Board of Trade.


The Board of Trade, through Harry Chase, President, and Carlos Colton, Secretary, made fitting reply to the foregoing letter, accepting the flag, thanking the Regiment for it, and promising carefully to preserve it. This was the flag provided at the suggestion of Lienten- ant Waite in April, 1864. In July, 1865, Col. Slevin delivered the flag to the Board of Trade. It bore the record : " Limestone," "Siege of Knoxville," "Rocky Face," "Resaca," " Dallas," "Utoy Creek," "Atlanta," "Columbia," "Frank lin," "Nashville," " Town Creek," "Wilming- ton." M. R. Waite, Esq., on behalf of the Board of Trade, responded to the address of

In a letter dated Nashville, Tennessee, De- cember 9, 1864, Adjutant Norman Waite, 100th Ohio Infantry, gave this incident of the battle of Franklin :


Colonel E. L. Hayes ordered the Color-Bearer (Byron C. Baldwin, Co. A) to advance and place his colors in the works, which he did, and the works were ours again. It was nearly dark, and they had charged at six different times, and we fought nearly the whole time until 10r. M. Capt. W. W. Hunt, Act- ing Major, fought nobly. Abont 7 o'clock we missed him, and found him dead near the front works. Lieut. Milton A. Brown was on the skirmish tine and was wounded as it was falling back, but gained our works, and white cheering on our men was shot dead. Color-Sergeant Baldwin had the flag pre- sented to us by the citizens of Toledo. The upper part of the staff was broken off by a bullet, and the lower half gone. While thus carrying the colors he was shot, when he deliberately wrapped the flag around him and died-his life-blood saturating the folds of the flag. In less than 18 hours the Regiment fought in two hard battles, and marched over 40 miles, besides building a line of works. We went into the fight with 250 men and lost 62 in killed, wound- ed and missing.
