CHARLES B. MITCHELL POST, NO. 84,
MAUMEE.
This Post was organized June 9, 1881, with 17 charter members. It took its name from Lieutenant Charles B. Mitchell, who entered the service as Private in Company I, Four- teenth Regiment, O. V. I., September 5, 1861, at the age of 18 years. He was appointed Sergeant and Sergeant-Major of that Com- pany, and in May, 1864, promoted to Second Lieutenant, and assigned to Company E. He was serving as such when mortally wounded at the battle of Jonesboro, Georgia, Septem- ber 1, 1864, and died in hospital at Atlanta, September 28, 1864. His remains were brought to Maumee and there buried. He was a son of Edward Mitchell, an old resident and long a leading citizen and business man of Maumee. Lieutenant Mitchell was a young man of promise and high character, and a Soldier brave and faithful to duty.
Since its organization, the Post has received 78 additional members, meantime prospering in all respects. The beautiful Soldiers' Monu- ment, with granite base and bronze statue, is an outgrowth of the organization, all its mem- bers being in the Monumental Association.

George, Sixth Michigan Cavalry, was killed on the 11th, and Philip, Sixtieth Ohio, on the 17th June, 1864, both near Petersburg, Virginia. David, Four- teenth Ohio, wounded in battle, died near Chat- tanooga, Tennessee, June 23, 1864. John, One Hundredth Ohio, was killed in battle near Atlanta, Georgia, August 6, 1864. Beside these, were Daniel, member of an Iowa Regiment, and Henry C., of Company I, Fourteenth Ohio Volunteer Infantry. "The former now resides at Fort Dodge, Iowa; and latter at Lamar, Barton County, Missouri. All were young men, industrious and worthy citizens. They were sons of Christopher Ruckle, a native of Ireland, who had then lived for many years in Monclova.
Though few in membership and not strong in purse, the Post, nevertheless, through un- tiring efforts has erected a fine brick building, at a cost of $1,800 ; and also a Soldiers' Monu- ment, at an expense of $500. The latter was dedicated on Memorial Day, 1870. It is 15 feet in height, surmounted by an eagle, of pure white marble. It was manufactered by Edward Lloyd & Son, Maumee City.

Thus, of about 120 men enlisting from that Township, not one of them received a commission. Subsequently, four of these were commissioned, as follows : Oscar N. Gunn, promoted from Orderly Ser- geant in Company I, Fourteenth O. V. I., to Second Lieutenant, and First Lieutenant, and then to Captain (Co. D) same Regiment. John W. Kerr, from the ranks, Company H, and Regimental Commissary Sergeant, One Hun- dred and Eleventh O. V. I., to First Lieuten- ant and R. Q. M., 1st U. S. C. Heavy Artillery; and Captain (Co.

As noticed, his term of enlistment expired August 28, 1864; but, like a true Sol- dier of the Union, he volunteered to go into the fight which cost him his life. He was a brother of Wm. Brint, a charter member of this Post, who, like him, was a true Soldier. Wm. H. W. McBride was a son of James R. and Ann McBride. He enlisted at the age of 18, at Richfield Center, August 25, 1861, in Company F, Fourteenth Regiment Ohio Vol- unteer Infantry, for three years; was taken sick at London, Kentucky, of typhoid fever, and died in hospital at Crab Orehard, on De- cember 8, 1861, that being the first death of any enlisted Soldier from Richfield Township.
Since the organization of the Post, the follow- ing named Soldiers joined it by muster-in and transfer, to wit:

No member of this Post has died. In the year 1885, with the aid of the Relief Corps, the Post erected a fine building, 25x60 feet, two stories high. Previous to that time their meetings were held in the old Town HIall. To the time of the organization of the Post, the citizens of this vicinity had not generally ob- served Memorial Day. Since its organiza- tion, the Post has observed that occasion, and Soldiers' graves in the three cemeteries in this locality have been duly decorated with flowers.
Arthur Gordinier was the first Commander of the Post, serving two terms in succession. William H. Pemberton was the second Com- mander, serving one term; Jas. R. Smith third Commander, serving two terms. Henry Chulip is now the Commander.
PAGE POST, NO. 471,
SYLVANIA.

This Post took its name from Harlan Page, who entered the service as a Private in Com- pany K, 25th Ohio, July 10, 1861, at the age of 18 years. He served faithfully until December 13, 1861, when in the fierce engagement at Baldwin's Camp, West Virginia, where 400 Union troops, through deception by a spy, were induced to attack 5,000 Rebels, trusting to re-enforcements which, owing to delay, failed to come up. In the unequal contest thus aris- ing, many of the Union command fell or were wounded. Among the latter was Private Page, who remained 18 days in camp, often pleading, "O, take me home to die !" Responding to such imploring appeal, eight devoted comrades sat out for Huttonsville, a distance of 60 miles, throughout which, bearing their loved friend on a litter, they pursued their tedious way for six long days, sometimes amid storms, and con- stantly subjected to repulse by Rebel residents on the route, and sometimes compelled to secure quarters for rest by force. At Huttonsville, the young sufferer bade farewell to his associates, assuring them, that though he might never again be fit for service (his collar-bone being badly shattered), he would, if able, return, to cheer them by his presence. Lieutenant Nat. Haughton, of his Company, telegraphed the time of the sufferer's probable arrival at Syl- vania, February 20, 1862. Finally reaching home, he exclaimed, " Oh, how I have prayed for this hour !" Ilis wound forbade all hope of recovery. Among his last utterances was, " Oh, do not pray for my recovery ; but rather, that I may rest and go home." He lived but a week after reaching home, dying February 27th and being buried at Sylvania. Thus, in the short period of six months, had this boy exhibited the highest qualities and paid the extreme sacrifice of the true patriot and brave Soldier. Justly, indeed, have his comrades recognized his devotion in bestowing his name upon their local association. The eight noble comrades of Page, by whose remarkable devo- tion he was enabled to reach home and friends, were all of his Company, viz .: Lyman B. Stone, aged 18, wounded at Chancellorsville, May 8, 1863, and mustered out July, 1864, at expira- tion of his term ; Werter H. Shaffer, aged 18,

who served three years and was mustered out, July, 1864; William Viekory, aged 21, wounded at the battle of McDowell, Virginia, May 8, 1862; James Moran, aged 22, wounded at Bull Run, August, 1862, and discharged January, 1863, on Surgeon's certificate of disability ; James Smith ; John Klinck ; Michael Herbert, aged 19, killed at Chancellorsville, May 2, 1863; and Charles A. De Bolt, aged 19, wounded May 8, 1862, at MeDowell, and vet- eranized on expiration of his term. It is due to the other members of the Company here to state, that many of them offered to go with Page, if needed.
