Sometime during the year 1858 the publication office of the Demo- cratic Courier was removed from Sarahsville to Caldwell. Will- iam H. Ijams had acquired ownership of the paper in 1857 and changed the name of it to the Democratic Star. Soon after its removal to Caldwell it again changed hands, Louis Baker and James H. Odell becoming the proprietors, and the name was altered to that of the Noble County Democrat. The organization of the Republican party in 1856, and the vigorous agitation of the issues that finally resulted in the Civil war, had made considerable change in the political opinions of Noble county. After the presidential

campaign of 1860 the paper suspended publication for want of ade- quate support.
On May 27, 1859, Samuel Caldwell proposed to donate a lot to the Methodist Episcopal congregation of Olive, on condition that they would remove to Caldwell. The offer was accepted and before the close of the year a neat building had been erected and dedicated. This was the first church in Caldwell. It was also the only church until 1861, when the Caldwell Baptist Church was organized, under the leadership of Rev. G. W. Churchill, with about a dozen members.
In 1861 the board of county commissioners was made up of John Lemmax, William Crum, and James Ball. All three were men of progressive notions and early in the year they reached the conclusion that some provision ought to be made for the unfortunate poor of the county. After mature deliberation a farm of two hundred acres, with a good brick residence and other buildings, was purchased at a cost of six thousand dollars. Before steps could be taken to erect an infirmary, the Civil war broke out, and the farm house was made to serve as such until the restoration of peace. The main building of the present infirmary was erected in 1865. The history of Noble county for the period from 1861 to 1865 was like that of many another county. Everything was subordinated to the prosecution of the war and but little note was taken of the civil and industrial progress of the county. When the call came for men to defend the Union, Noble county stood ready to contribute her quota, and her sons, being descendants of men who had been inured to fighting and frontier hard- ships, made the very best kind of soldiers. Her war record is told in the succeeding chapter.

I N 1860 the population of Noble county was 20,751, and few coun- ties in the Buckeye State furnished more men in proportion to population, or responded more promptly. When the call for three months troops was made, the work of recruiting three com- panies was begun in different parts of the county about the same time. Before the organization of these companies could be completed the quota of three months men was filled and they were consequently not accepted. Under the first call for three-years troops, the Twenty- Third, Twenty-Fourth, and Twenty-Fifth regiments of Ohio infantry were raised, and Governor Dennison called upon Noble county to fur-

nish one company. This time Noble county was not to be left out for want of punctuality. The three companies were consolidated and one full company was formed. It left Summerfield on June 22, 1861, and four days later was mustered into the Federal service at Camp Chase, by Capt. John C. Robinson of the Fifth United States infantry. At the time of its muster-in the commissioned officers were: Captain, John M. Mosely; First Lieutenant, James H. Petty; Second Lieutenant, Joseph L. Ball. The non-commissioned officers and privates were as follows :

Besides this company, which was mustered in as Company I of the Twenty-Fifth Ohio volunteer infantry, a number of Noble county boys enlisted in other companies in the Twenty-Fifth regiment. Robert Rutherford was a member of Company B, of the Twenty- Fifth. In Company C of the same regiment were John Pierce, ~ Joseph H. Lovall, John Master, and Peter Yoho. In Company H were Wilson S. Archibald, James M. Coffee, Ezra L. Davis, Samuel B. Marquis, Reuben B. Marquis, William H. Timberlake, Orin Wheeler, W. H. Sutton, W. L. Smoot, John L. Cox, Veno F. Davis, Thomas J. Cooper, James W. Swift, W. J. Kean, Alonzo M. Burlingame, Sam- uel M. Gordon, Michael F. Danford, James S. Willey, Levi MeLaugh- lin, W. N. Mills, Theo. Timberlake, John A. Timberlake. In com- pany K were Levi Delaney, Shubal Hutchins, Nathan Harmon, Con- rad Harmon, James McLaughlin, Jonathan Rainey, John A. Thomp- son, Jonathan H. Yarnall. Lewis E. Wilson held the rank of second lieutenant in this company, and Samuel P. Houston held a similar rank in Company F.
The Twenty-Fifth received its baptism of fire at Cheat Mountain, Va., September 12, 1861. Between that time and the close of the war it participated in the engagements at Greenbrier, Allegheny Moun- tain, Huntersville, Monterey, Bull Pasture Mountain, Franklin, Stras- burg, Cross Keys, Cedar Mountain, Freeman's Ford, Waterloo Bridge, The Second Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Hagerstown, Morris Island, South Carolina, where the siege lasted three weeks, Honey Hill, Devaux Neck, Indian Hill, Cockle Creek, Combahee Ferry, Ashapoo Ferry, Dingle's Mill, Red Hill, Deep Swamp, Beach Run, Swift Creek, and Statesburg. For some time after the actual surrender of the Confederate forces the regiment was
employed in patrol duty in South Carolina. Of the total number of men enrolled in Company I, fifteen were killed in action; seventy- eight were wounded and about twenty-five of these afterward died ; thirty-five died of disease; twenty-one were reported missing, a few of whom afterward turned up sound and well ; and five were reported as deserters. The remainder were mustered out at Columbus, Ohio, June 18, 1866, after nearly five years of active service.
Noble county was well represented in the Twenty-Sixth regiment, Ohio volunteer infantry, which was organized soon after the Twenty- Fifth. The entire regiment was raised in the counties of Delaware, Ross, Noble, Guernsey, Butler, Madison, Mahoning, Scioto and Cham- paign. Considering the population of the several counties, Noble con-

tributed more than any one of the others, as a large part of Company F and Company D came from Noble. Those in Company F were : John J. Barlow, Emanuel Brill, Francis M. Brill, George W. Brill, James B. Brill, Henry Brindley, Robert J. Brown, Fortunatis Bur- lingame, Ferdinand Burlingame, Justus M. Burlingame, Jacob C. Canady, William H. Craft, Robert F. Craig, Moses F.

Capell, Henry Chambers, Michael Cheatham, Cornelius Cline, Rose- berry Cline, Hiram J. Danford, William Davis, Thomas T. Forshey, John Franklin, Silas J. Gordon, Joseph L. Heidelson, George C.

Turner, Samuel Turner, James S. Tripps, Thomas A. Walker, William T. Williams, George W. Young.
Company D was mustered in on August 3, 1861, Company F hav- ing been mustered in on June 28, preceding. About the time that Company D was accepted the regimental organization was complete and it was assigned to duty in the upper Kanawha Valley. In Jan- uary, 1862, it was transferred to General Wood's division in the Department of the Ohio-later called the Department of the Cumber- land. In October, 1863, it was again transferred, this time becoming part of General Wagner's brigade, in Sheridan's division of the Fourth army corps. The regiment was with Buell in his pursuit of Bragg through Tennessee in the fall of 1862, and participated in the engagements of Murfreesboro, Stone River, Tullahoma, Shelbyville, Chattanooga, Chickamauga, Mission Ridge, Lookout Mountain, and the siege of Knoxville. At the battle of Stone River the regiment lost nearly one-third of its men, the Noble county companies nobly bearing their share of the losses. At Mission Ridge the regiment also suffered heavy losses, fully half the men engaged being killed or

wounded. During the late fall and winter of 1862 the regiment suffered great hardships from long marches, insufficient food, and scant clothing. Many of the men had worn the soles from their shoes until their bare feet touched the ground, but they were so far from the base of supplies that it was impossible to draw new ones. In the dead of winter they slept out of doors without even the shelter of a friendly tent, and not one in ten of the men were supplied with over coats. Notwithstanding these hardships, when the men were asked to re-enlist for three years more nearly every one of Noble county's sons responded to the call. The regiment was with Sherman on his famous "March to the Sea," and fought at the battles of Resaca, Kenesaw Mountain, Peach Tree Creek, Jonesboro, and the other battles of the campaign. Later it took part in the engagements at Franklin and Nashville, Tennessee, after which it was sent to Texas, where it remained until mustered out on October 21, 1865.
Company K of the Thirtieth volunteer infantry, which was mus- tered in at Camp Chase, August 28, 1861, was recruited in Noble county. The commissioned officers of the company at the time it was accepted by the Federal government were: William H. Ijams, cap- tain; Reese R. Furbay, first lieutenant; Orris Parrish, second lieutenant; and the non-commissioned officers and privates were as follows: Benjamin Alltop, Richard L. Allbritain, Edward Archer, Thomas Archer, Joseph G. Anderson, Martin V. Anderson, John Armstrong, John T. Anderson, John Ball, Jonas Ball, Enoch Ball, William E. Behmer, Charles W. Barton, William A. Blake, Emer- son P. Brooks, Jeremiah C. Brown, James S. Butler, John J. Butler, John Campbell, Lemuel B. Chessire, John Clark, John Coffield, David Crooks, George W. Cunningham, Hiram J.

Four Noble county men, Demetrius A. Foster, Samuel Harris, Thomas Shankland, and Ezra Travis, enlisted in Company F of the same regiment. Twenty-two men of Company K were discharged on account of disabilities, twenty-seven were killed or died of disease,. seven were reported as missing, and the rest were mustered out with the regiment at Little Rock, Ark., August 13, 1865. During the four years of service the Thirtieth participated in the operations around Sewell and Flat Top Mountains, Raleigh, Princeton, Green Meadows, and on East and New rivers, after which it joined the army in Eastern Virginia. At South Mountain the regiment lost eighteen killed and forty-eight wounded, and a few days afterward fought with distinction at the battle of Antietam. In January, 1863, the regiment was transferred to the Southwest, joining the second division of the Fifteenth army corps at Helena, Ark. In May it joined the army in front of Vicksburg and remained there until after the capitulation of the city. Next it was assigned to duty in Eastern Tennessee. It participated in the battle of Mission Ridge, and was one of the regi- ments that pursued the Confederates in their retreat. In the spring of 1864 it was veteranized and after the furlough joined the army in Georgia. From May 20 to June 19 the regiment was almost con- stantly under fire and suffered heavy losses. In July it became a part of General Sherman's forces before Atlanta. It was one of the regi- mental organizations that was on the historic March to the Sea. From January 1, 1865, until the muster-out, it was successively at Washing- ton City, Louisville, Ky., and Little Rock, Ark. During the term of service the regiment marched nearly fifteen thousand miles and participated in some of the hardest fought battles of the war.
In August, 1861, the Thirty-Sixth volunteer infantry was organ- ized, and on the 21st of the month was mustered in at Marietta. From Noble county came Benjamin F. Bell, William Barker, Henry Bass, John W. Dolman, John Hesson, William Hiddleston, Liberty Hiddleston, Joseph H. King, Shepard P. King, Nicholas Kirkman, Edward McElroy, Henry McElroy, Robert McCoy, Henry McCarty, Alfred R. Phillips, Isaac C. Phillips, James Phillips, Stephen Spen- cer, and White. Of these men, three were killed in battle, two died in the service, ten were discharged and the others were mustered out with the company at Wheeling, W. Va., July 27, 1865. They were members of Company E, of which Isaac Phillips rose to be captain. The regiment was interested, during its entire term of

service, in the military operations in Virginia and Maryland, except a short time in 1863, when it was with Rosecrans in Tennessee.
When the Twentieth Ohio volunteer infantry was reorganized in the fall of 1861, quite a number of Noble county boys took service in the new organization. Francis M. Shacklee, who had gone out with the Twenty-Fifth regiment earlier in the year, was made captain of Company I in the reorganization, and Harrison Wilson, also of the Twenty-Fifth, became first lieutenant of the company in December. Under their leadership the following Noble county citizens enlisted in Company I : Ananias Archer, Cephus Archer, George Archer, Weeden Archer, Philip Amon, Ezekiel Anderson, John H. Barnes, Leaward Ball, James W. Barnes, John Burford, John Caldwell, Franklin G. Cleveland, Frederick Crow, Jacob Crow, Enoch Fuller, John W. Gar- rett, Daniel Gildow, Harvey J. Harbin, Joseph E. Harbin, John W. Houston, George W. Hupp, Marion Hupp, Joseph Killbaugh, Jacob King, Joseph Kinney, Andrew J. Lucas, Martin McBride, Samuel McBride, Peter McBride, Terence McGovern, Isaac C. Miracle, David Mitten, Thomas Moore, Albert Morris, Ferdinand Moore, Thomas F. Morrow, Jesse Moran, Joseph W. Newlan, William H. Newlan, John Nieun, Abram Northstine, Harrison Palmer, Harrison J.

Wick- ham, Wieden Wickham, George Wild, Amon A. Williams, Thomas Wilson, Clark Young, Frederick Youngblue, Jesse R. Youngblue. The company was mustered in near Covington, Ky., on October 21, 1861, and during the winter was employed in guarding government stores around Covington and Newport. In February, 1862, it started south- ward and its first actual service was in the campaign against Fort Don- elson. Between that time and the expiration of its term of service the Twentieth participated in a number of engagements in Tennessee, Mis- sissippi, Louisiana, and Alabama. Foremost among these were the bat- tles of Pittsburgh Landing, the operations around Corinth, Oxford, Miss., Holly Springs, Champion Hills, around Vicksburg, and Jack- son, Mississippi. After being veteranized the regiment was with Sherman around Atlanta, and on the march to Savannah. It was mustered out, July 18, 1865, at Columbus, Ohio.
Late in the fall of 1861 the work of organizing the Sixty-Second volunteer infantry was begun at. Camp Goddard, Zanesville, Ohio. The organization was completed in a short time and on November 21 the regiment was mustered into the service. It remained at Camp Goddard, however, until January, 1862, when it was ordered to join General Rosecrans in Western Virginia. The first fighting experi-

enced by the regiment was at Winchester, Va., where it was one of the regiments that pursued the enemy to Strasburg. Its entire service , was with the Army of the Potomac, participating in the battles of Port Republic, Morris Island, Fort Wagner, Petersburg, Fort Gregg, and the final operations around Richmond.
About the last of August, 1865, it was united with the Sixty- Seventh Ohio, and was mustered out early in December. The Noble county contingent of the Sixty-Second regiment was as follows: Col- ton Ackley, William Alltop, Robert W. Bain, Elisha Ball, James Ball, William Ball, John Barnhouse, George Bartlette, John B. Bell, Leander Bell, Joseph Britton, Harrison Burlingame, Samuel P. Cheshire, William E. Clark, Thomas D.

Sixteen of the men from Noble county were discharged on account of disabilities or by order of the war department ; three were killed in action ; seven were wounded, three of whom afterward died ; six died of disease ; one was reported as missing, and one as a deserter.
About the same time that the Sixty-Second regiment was organized, the Forty-Second was also recruited. The regiment was mustered in at Camp Chase, November 26, 1861, with James A. Garfield, after- ward president of the United States, as colonel. Companies A, B, C, and D were completed and mustered in the preceding September, the last named company being raised in Noble county.
