SIXTEENTH OHIO INFANTRY.
This regiment was organized for three months' service under Col. James Irvine, in April, 1861, and for three years under Col. John F. De- Courcey, October 2, 1861. It spent the fol- lowing winter operating under Gen. Thomas, in Kentucky, and in the spring of 1862 was at Cumberland Gap. with Gen. Morgan. When the enemy retreated from this stronghold, the Sixteenth was the first regiment to enter the works and hoist the stars and stripes. In Au- gust it encountered the rebels on the Main Hill road, and after a determined resistance for several hours, was finally forced to fall back to the intrenchments.
Owing to the scarcity of provisions, the Na- tional forces left the Gap in September, and marched through Kentucky to Greenupsburg. suffering severely on the way from hunger and thirst.
In October, the regiment moved into Vir- ginia, and in November proceeded to Memphis, Tenn. In December, it joined Sherman at Chickasaw Bayou, near Vicksburg. in which battle the regiment lost 311 officers and men in killed, wounded and prisoners. The Sixteenth was next engaged in the successful assault upon Arknasas Post; then proceeded to Young's Poiut, La., where it remained until March, 1864.
In April, it moved with Gen. Grant to the rear of Vicksburg, and in May was engaged
in the battles at Thompson's IIill. Champion Hills and Black River Bridge. remaining during the siege of Vicksburg until the surrender. In these various engagements the regiment lost heavily in killed and wounded. It participated in the siege and capture of Jackson, then joined Gen. Banks, on the Red River, an lin October returned to Columbus, Ohio, where it was mustered out on the 31st of October, 1864.
During its service, the Sixteenth traveled by railroad 1,285 miles; by steamboat, 3,619 miles; by steamship, 1,200 miles, and on foot, 1,621 miles.
The total number of deaths from all causes in the regiment was 251. There were killed in battle and died of their wounds two officers and sixty men. The number of officers and men mustered out at the expiration of its term of service was 477, all that was left of 1,191, the total of original organization and recruits.
Forty-five men were recruited in this county for the Sixteenthi Regiment, and assigned 10 Company F.
H. S. Wood, of Union County, was promoted to First Lieutenant, and John A. Phillips, John H. Gray and Lorenzo Moses, were appointed Sergeants.
Some of Union County's bravest and best soldiers were in this company. They saw much hard service, and their losses were very heavy. Twelve died of disease or wounds; six were wounded, and four were taken prisoners, mak- ing a total loss of twenty-two, or nearly one- half of the detachment cf forty-five men re- cruited in this county.

SEVENTEENTII ,OHIO INFANTRY-(THREE YEARS).
The Seventeenth Ohio was re organized in August, 1861, for three years' service, under Col. John M. Connell, and Lieut. Col. Durbin Ward. It was ordered to Kentucky in Sep- tember, and reported at Camp Dick Robinson on the 2d of October. From thence it proceeded to Wild Cat, and was engaged in the battle at that place, losing seven men wounded.
It took part in the engagement at Mill Springs, then marched to Louisville, Ky., and embarked for Nashville, Tenn., where it ar- rived on the 3d of March, 1862. Then moved across the country to Shiloh, but arrived too late to take part in the battle.
It participated in the siege at Corinth, and was actively engaged in several severe skir- mishes. The regiment followed in pursuit of the retreating rebels as far as Booneville, Miss., returning via Corinth and Inka to Tuscumbia, Ala., then marched with Bnell's forces into Kentucky, was present at the battle of Perry- ville, but not actively engaged ; was with Rose- crans at Stone River, and took a prominent part in the battle of December 31, with a loss of twenty wounded. The Seventeenth joined the Tullahoma campaign, and, with its brigade at Hoover's Gap, shared in a gallant charge upon the Seventeenth Tennessee Rebel Reg- ment, driving them from their position, and gaining possession of their works.
" This charge was executed with such cool- ness and determination as to draw the particu- lar attention of Gen. Thomas."
In the battle of Chickamauga, the regiment was badly cnt to pieces, leaving the field with but fifty-two men. The loss of the Seventeenth in this engagement was over two hundred, in killed and wounded. During the siege in Chattanooga, the regiment was engaged in a number of skirmishes, then shared in the ac- tion at Brown's Ferry, and in the assault upon Mission Ridge, wbere it captured a rebel bat- tery, and turned the guns upon the enemy.
In January, 1864, the Seventeenth re-enlist- ed as veterans, and after the furlough home returned to the field in March, with over four

hundred recruits, and followed Sherman through the Atlanta campaign. It was en- gaged in the skirmish of Rocky Face Ridge, and lost heavily in the battle of Resaca; and from that time until the fall of Atlanta, the regiment was almost constantly under fire, taking an active part at New Hope Church, Pumpkin Vine Creek, Kenesaw Mountain, Peach Tree Creek and Jonesboro. It marched with Sherman to the sea and through the Caro- linas, took part in the last battle of the war at Bentonville, passed in review before the Presi- dent at Washington, then moved to Louisville, Ky., where it was mustered out in July, 1865.
About forty men were recruited in Union County, for Company C of this regiment, ten of whom died in the hospitals, of wounds or disease, four were wounded, and one was taken prisoner, making a total loss of fifteen, or more than one-third of the detachment.
The Seventeenth Ohio "was in the service from the beginning of the war. It was always at the front-never doing a single day's serv- ice in mere garrison duty. It served under nearly all the famous commanders-McClellan, Buell, Rosecrans, Thomas, Grant, Halleck, Sherman and Schofield. It held an honorable place from the first in that noted corps, Thomas' Fourteenth, and was never driven save at Chickamauga; even then it quit the field only under orders, and at nightfall."

EIGHTEENTH OHIO INFANTRY.
The Eighteenth Ohio was organized May 29, 1861, for three months' service, and August 6, for three years, under Col. Timothy R. Stanley. It joined the forces under Gen. Mitchell in Kentucky, and after serving in that State for a time, proceeded to Nashville, Tenn., thence to Huntsville, Ala., capturing about 300 prisoners, and a large amount of supplies. The regiment was engaged in the battle at Stone River, December 31, 1862, los- ing on this occasion 183 officers and men. In June, it accompanied the advance on Tulla- homa, and a few days later, marched toward Chattanooga, and took a prominent part in the battle of Chickamauga.
