COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

The Wyandot County Agricultural Society was organized at a meeting held in the court house at Upper Sandusky on the 3d day of January, 1852. One hundred and twenty-nine members were then reported, and after the adoption of a constitution and by-laws, the following named gentlemen were elected as officers to serve for the first term of one year: President, Hugh Welch; Vice President, Abel Renick; Secretary, John D. Sears; Treasurer, Henry Peters; Managers, John Gormley, Samuel M. Worth, John Kisor, Francis Palmer and Jonathan Kear. Subsequently, at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the society, held at the Treasurer's of- fice, May 29, 1852, George T. Frees, Henry Peters, A. J. Failor, Orrin Ferris and Robert McKelly, were appointed a committee "to consult upon the ways and means of getting up an agricultural fair, to ascertain whether suitable ground can be procured, to recommend a list of premiums, and to report thereon to the next meeting of this board." It was further ordered that the proceedings of the meeting be published in the Democratic Pioneer.

The next meeting of the Board of Directors was held at the court house, June 26 following, when the committee appointed at the last session re- ported that Chester R. Mott, Esq., had offered suitable grounds for the society's exhibition, and on motion this offer was unanimously accepted. At the same meeting, a premium list and various rules and regulations were adopted, and September 30 and October 1 following were named as the days for holding the first annual exhibition.

As proposed, the first annual fair of the Wyandot County Agricultural Society was held in the vicinity of the "old council house," at Upper Sandusky, during the days above mentioned. It was well attended, and af- forded an indication of future success. The persons to whom premiums were then awarded were as follows:

The society's diploma was also awarded with each cash premium.

In April, 1853, the society leased lands for exhibition purposes of Dr. Orrin Ferris, which were occupied until 1856, when grounds were purchased from George Saltsman by a stock company, mainly composed of members of the society. In the spring of 1861, the original plat was enlarged by the purchase of four acres from Col. Joseph Mccutchen, for which the sum of $200 was paid. In the autumn of 1875, the grounds were still further enlarged by the purchase of fifteen acres from Peter B. Beidler. At the present writing the lands owned by the society (comprising thirty acres) are fenced and furnished with the necessary buildings, etc., for a successful ex- hibit of all articles, animals, etc., brought forward. During the late war, when agricultural exhibitions were of little moment to a people struggling to maintain the best form of government on earth, one or two years passed by without an annual fair being held. Other than that, fairs have been held each year since the organization of the society, and usually have proved fairly successful. In the fall of 1883, the sum of $1,188 was awarded in premiums. The present members of the society are 519 in number. Its Presidents, Vice Presidents, Secretaries and Treasurers are and have been as follows:

HISTORY OF WYANDOT COUNTY.

CHAPTER XII.

THE COUNTY'S MILITARY RECORD.

ALLUSION TO EARLY WARS-WAR OF 1812-15-MEXICAN WAR-WAR OF THE REBELLION-SKETCH OF THE FIFTEENTH INFANTRY-FORTY-NINTH INFAN- TRY-FIFTY-FIFTH INFANTRY-EIGHTY-FIRST INFANTRY-EIGHTY-SECOND INFANTRY-ONE HUNDRED AND FIRST INFANTRY-ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-THIRD INFANTRY-ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-FOURTH INFANTRY -ELEVENTH OHIO BATTERY-MENTION OF MANY SOLDIERS BELONGING TO VARIOUS COMMANDS.

W HILE it is true that the "French and Indian War," the struggle for American independence, various desolating Indian wars, and the war of 1812-15 had all taken place long before the settlement, by the whites, of any portion of the territory now designated Wyandot County, yet many of the pioneers who located here were descendants of Revolutionary sires, while others among them had been active participants in wars of a later date. This region, too, had already gained prominence in history as the scene of Crawford's disastrous engagement with the Indians and their British allies in 1782, and as the point of concentration, during the war of 1812-15, of a considerable body of American riflemen. Crawford's expe- dition, however, has already been treated at considerable length in another place, hence this chapter begins with a brief account of the operations conducted here during the last war with Great Britain.

In October and November, 1812, several battalions of Pennsylvania Militia, mustered into the service of the United States for a term of six months, and under the command of Brig. Gen. Richard Crooks, marched from the southwestern counties of Pennsylvania-the region which had furnished men for Crawford's expedition thirty years before-towards what was then termed the "Northern" or "Canadian Frontier." Cutting out roads through the wilderness for the passage of their wagon trains and artillery, Gen. Crooks' command moved forward from Pittsburgh via the sites of the present towns of Canton and Mansfield to a point now occupied by the town of Upper Sandusky, intending to take part with the Kentucky volunteers in the reduction of British posts along the Great Lakes; but it appears that this body of Pennsylvanians proceeded no farther than this point-Upper Sandusky. Here they erected a work of defense termed Fort Ferree, and here they remained through the following winter, or until their terms of service had expired. The locality chosen had certain ad- vantages in a military point of view, being at the junction of Gen. Harri- son's military road leading southward to the Ohio River, and northward to Lower Sandusky; besides, it commanded an extended view of the surrounding country, had a fine spring of pure limpid water gushing from the foot of the low bluff near by, and was a central place in the country of the friendly Wyandots, whose principal town was about four miles distant in a north- easterly direction.

Fort Ferree occupied grounds on the east side of the present town, near the bluff about fifty rods northeast of the court house. It was a square stockade work, inclosed an area of about two acres,

and had very substantially constructed block-houses at each of the four corners, one of which was standing as late as 1850. The troops, while sta- tioned at this place, were rather poorly supplied with camp and garrison equipage, provisions, and medical stores; a wilderness, hundreds of miles in extent, separated them from their base of supplies and their homes, and many sickened and died. The bodies of those who died here seem to have been buried where the present public buildings stand, and for some dis- tance to the westward of the same; for street gradings, and various exca- vations made in the vicinity mentioned, have brought to the surface, bones of the human body, buttons bearing the letters U. S. stamped on their face, and rosettes of leather with the American eagle in brass fixed upon them.

During the same war, Gen. Harrison made this point his headquarters for a brief period. At the same time, a number of companies of "light horse " encamped on "Armstrong's Bottom," two miles south of the fort. One mile north of Fort Ferree, near the river, Gov. Meigs encamped in August, 1813, with several thousand of the Ohio militia, then on their way to the relief of Fort Meigs. The place was called "The Grand Encamp- ment," and subsequently was chosen as the "Mission Farm." Receiving here the news of the raising of the siege of Fort Meigs, and the repulse of the British at Fort Stephenson, they prosecuted their march no farther, and were soon after permitted to return to their homes.

When the Mexican war began, Wyandot, as a county, had been in existence but a few months, yet many more men offered their services as volunteers than . could be accepted. Thus, we learn, that during the last days of May, 1846, a body of volunteers known as the "Sandusky Rangers," and commanded by Capt. John Caldwell, marched from Upper Sandusky to Cincinnati, Ohio. They were stationed at "Camp Washington," near that city (where one of their number, W. L. Stearns, died of disease), until the 19th of June fol- lowing, when, for some well-founded reason, they were mustered out of service. Immediately after their discharge, several of the "rangers" re- enlisted in commands which were retained in service. Among those who thus joined the company from Tiffin were H. Miller, Jr., A. W. Coleman, W. L. Beard, T. D. Shue, A. Potter, John Stouffer, D. Nichols and C. West.

At a war meeting, held in Upper Sandusky June 1, 1846, another company of volunteers was formed. Its officers were Andrew McElvain, Captain ; Moses H. Kirby, First Lieutenant ; Christian Huber, Second Lieutenant; Thomas Officer, Ensign; and Purdy McElvain, First Sergeant. But this company also failed to be accepted for a term of service, and from that time all organized efforts to recruit volunteers at this point ceased. Subsequently, Capt. John Caldwell was appointed Commissary of a regi- ment of Ohio volunteers, and proceeded to Mexico in August, 1846. In June, 1847, Lieut. H. Miller, Jr., and other Wyandot County volunteers. returned home from Mexico.

" Ah ! never shall the land forget How gushed the life-blood of her brave- Gushed, warm with hope and courage yet, Upon the soil they fought to save." *

Immediately after the election of Abraham Lincoln as President of the United States, the rebel leaders of the South began making preparations

for secession and war. During the closing months of Buchanan's adminis- tration, State after State in the slave-holding portion of the Federal Union had passed ordinances of secession, officers were commissioned, companies and battalions were organized, and long before Lincoln's inauguration, all was in readiness to seize every vestige of Government property in their midst-navy-yards, forts, arsenals, mint, revenue cutters, and the thousands of stands of arms, cannon, ammunition, etc., so conveniently placed at their disposal by the traitor Floyd. They had erected batteries on Morris and James Islands, on Stono Inlet and Cumming's Point, all looking to the bombardment and capture of Fort Sumter and a repulse of all Federal attempts to re-enforce or retake it.

At last, after too long pursuing a halting policy, which looked much like connivance at treason, President Buchanan, aroused to a sense of duty by the murmur of the loyal people, decided to re-enforce and re-victual the threatened fort. Accordingly, on the 5th of January, 1861, the steamer Star of the West, chartered by the Government, left the city of New York with 250 troops, their ammunition and accoutrements, and started for Fort Sumter. On the morning of the 9th of January, as she slowly steamed up the bay, a masked battery on Morris Island, manned by rebels, opened fire upon her. There and then was fired the first gun in the fearful life and death struggle since known as the war of the rebellion. The " star- spangled banner" was floating over the steamer. She continued on her course some ten minutes, the batteries belching forth their shot, flame and smoke. when it was found impossible to execute the order, as it was neces- sary to pass close under the guns of the battery on the island ; also near Fort Moultrie, ere she could make for Sumter. Capt. McGowan, the officer in charge, turned her down the channel and returned to New York. Fort Sumter was doomed.

Thus passed the hours until the 4th of March, 1861, when the Nation changed its rulers. James Buchanan retired and Abraham Lincoln as. sumed the administration of the National Government. The interest mani- fested by the people, both North and South, was painfully intense. The people of the North awaited with anxious solicitude the publication of his inaugural address, for in that they were to know the fate of the nation- whether its dignity, its rights and power would be upheld and vindicated or the Southern oligarchy be permitted to subjugate its power, humiliate its flag, and forever destroy the existence of the great American Republic.

President Lincoln's inaugural was received with joy by the mass of the people at the North. At the South it was accepted as a declaration of war, and they rejoiced that such a shallow pretense was afforded them. The policy of both sections now rapidly assumed shape, and preparations were made for war. The object which was to bring on the iron storm loomed up heavily in the Southern horizon. That object was Fort Sumter. Every day proved that the rebels of South Carolina intended to capture the fort. On the 11th of April, Gen. Beauregard demanded of Maj. Anderson its surrender. The Major replied that his sense of honor and his obligations to his country prevented his compliance with it. Other correspondence followed during the night of the 11th of April, but unsatisfactory to the rebel authorities. Maj. Anderson remained loyal to the "old flag," and evinced so strong a determination to maintain it, that it was resolved to reduce the fort. Hardly had the first gray of dawn, on the 12th day of È pril, revealed Sumter, ere a shell was thrown from a battery on James Island, which burst directly over the works. All Charleston people were

out on their housetops or high eminences to. witness the terrible scene, and one young female rebel, in a letter written that morning at Charleston, to her mother in Columbia, S. C., began as follows: " Dear Mama- The cannons are now whizzing through the air. Cousin George thinks the Yankees will soon all be killed, or compelled to surrender. All of our friends are out to see the fun. It is just grand." *

The die was now cast. Civil war was now inaugurated. Fort Sumter fell on the 13th of April, after a terrific bombardment of thirty-four hours' duration. This was the commencement of the grand tragedy speedily to follow. On the 15th of April, 1861, President Lincoln called by procla- mation for seventy-five thousand volunteers to suppress the insurrection. He also called an extra session of the National Congress, to convene on the coming 4th of July. The very next day the rebel government issued a call for thirty-two thousand volunteers, which, with their former force, equaled that of the National Government. These troops were rapidly equipped and put into the field. Departments were organized and Generals commis- sioned and assigned commands. Washington at once became the rallying point of the larger portion of the Northern volunteers.

Nowhere throughout the loyal North did the President's proclamation, calling for seventy-five thousand volunteers to serve for a period of three months, create more patriotic enthusiasm, or meet with a more cordial re- sponse in the immediate tender of men for service in the armies of the United States than in the county of Wyandot. For a brief period all business, apparently, was suspended, and naught was seen or heard in the streets of her towns but the display of National colors, groups of excited men in earnest discussion, small parties of volunteers marching in cadence step, or to the drum beat, and the voices of impassioned crators, who, though usually able and active workers-at home, were seldom to be seen or heard in the fore-front of battle. As a result, hardly had the wires ceased to click the call for men ere three full companies of Wyandot County, volunteers, under the command of Capts. Wilson. Kirby and Tyler, were in readi- ness to move forward where ordered. From that hour until the close of the war, the loyal and patriotic people of the county never lagged when called upon for men, material, or money, and her sons, sufficient in number to form nearly two regiments, performed valiant service upon all the great battle fields of the rebellion. As a means, therefore, of perpetuating their names and their deeds to the latest generations, the remainder of this chapter will be devoted to brief accounts of the various battles, marches, etc., in which they were conspicuous participants.

FIFTEENTH OHIO INFANTRY.

This regiment was among the first to respond to the President's call for 75,000 men for three months' service, and on the 4th of May, 1861, it was organized at Camp Jackson, Columbus, Ohio. Four days later it moved to Camp Goddard, near Zanesville, Ohio. Here it passed about ten days in preparing for active duty in the field. It was then ordered into West Virginia, and crossing the Ohio River at Bellaire, it was employed for some time in guard duty on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, advancing as far as Grafton. Subsequently it was engaged in the rout of the rebels under Gen. Porterfield, at Philippi-June 13-and afterward took part in the movements around Laurel Hill and Carrick's Ford. The Fifteenth per- formed a large amount of marching and guard duty and rendered valua-

ble service to the Government in assisting to stay the progress of the enemy, who were endeavoring to carry the war into the North. Having served its term of enlistment, it returned to Columbus, Ohio, and was discharged about. the 1st of August, having lost but two men-one killed and one died of dis- ease. Three of its companies during the three months' service-C, G and I -commanded respectively by Capts. William T. Wilson, Peter A. Tyler and Isaac M. Kirby, were recruited in Wyandot County.

Immediately after the disbandment of the three months' organization, Col. Moses R. Dickey and Lieut. Col. William T. Wilson, assisted by Maj. William Wallace and Capts. Cummings, McClenaban, Miller, Kirby, Askew, Glover, Dawson, Cummins, Gilliland and Holloway, began the re- organization of the regiment for the three years' service. Recruiting pro- gressed rapidly, many of the original members re enlisted, and ere the lapse of many days at "Camp Mordecai Bartley," near Mansfield, Ohio, the ranks of the Fifteenth Regiment were again filled. Of its ten companies, D, Capt. Isaac M. Kirby in command, represented Wyandot County.
