HISTORY OF BUTLER COUNTY.
Martin served in Company F, and T. J. Cooper was a corporal in Company K. Solomon W. Fisher, who was killed at James Island, South Carolina, George Morrow and William J. Morrison, a private in Company G, also saw service in this regiment.
ONE HUNDRED AND SECOND REGIMENT.
Immediately after the Thirteenth regiment was mustered ont, in August. 1861, it- old colonel, Thomas 1. Rowley, began recruiting its members for the three years' service. He wanted the old number " Thirteen" given to the new regi- ment, but was unable to secure it. In the meantime, all the numbers below 102 were taken, and that became the number of the regiment. Company H of this regiment was recruited in Butler county. by Capt. Thomas Mclaughlin. The first real service of the regiment began with the advance on Richmond in March, 1862. May 2, 1862. in the advance on Fort Magruder, the regiment lost three killed and thirty-eight wounded. It was afterwards engaged at Seven Pines, Fair Oaks, Malvern Hill, Chantilly, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Marye's Heights, Salem Church, Rappahannock Station, Mine Run, Westminster, Funkstown, etc. In the early part of IS64, the regiment veteranized. the members receiving thirty days' furlough. In May. 1861, the regiment was again in the field. It took part in the battles of the Wilderness, losing heavily. Then followed Petersburg, Opequon, Winchester, Five Forks, Sailors' Creek, and Appomattox, the names of which all belong on the battle flag of the regiment.
The total losses of the regiment during its term of service were ten officer- and 171 men killed and a much larger number wounded. Eighty-two died of disease, and 140 were reported captured or missing.
One night in January, 1862, while the regiment was in camp at Tennally- town, District of Columbia, two members of Company D. named Garvin and Young, became engaged in a quarrel which terminated in Garvin discharging his musket in Young'- face, killing him instantly. The musket ball, after killing Young, sped on its course and buried itself in the heart of Lysander Robb, a private in Company H, who was doing guard duty a hundred yards distant, thus claiming two lives. Garvin was tried by court martial and acquitted, his plea as to Young being that he killed him in self-defense. and that the killing of Robb was accidental.
The roster of Company II, which went into the service 113 strong, is as follows :
Captains : Thomas Mclaughlint, and Robert W. Lyon.
Lieutenants : William Crooks, Charles S. Barclay;, Armstrong Renison, Addison J. Brinker and Isaac C. Stewart.

At Antietam it was present, but not engaged. After the battle it assisted in burying the dead. Later it was sent in pursuit of J. E. B. Stuart, the rebel cavalry general, who had made a raid into Pennsylvania. It took part in Burnside's second campaign, and at its close went into camp at Belle Plain. April 23, 1863, it crossed the Rappahannock, at Franklin's crossing, under a heavy artillery fire. It was present at Chancellorsville, where it was assigned to the extreme right of the line. Before it was ordered into position, however, the battle was practically over. On May 25, 1863, its term of enlistment having expired, it was ordered to Harrisburg, where it was mustered out on June 1. During its term of service one officer and fifty-eight men died of disease.
