Nor were the boys at the front neglected. Soldiers' Aid Societies were organized in every city, village and township, the ladies, God bless them, vieing with each other in their efforts to alleviate, in such a manner as possible, the trials and privations of the county's representatives down in Dixie. Many a soldier boy's heart has jumped with joy, as boxes laden with warm clothing, pocket comforts, or delicacies to which he had long been a stranger, came fresh from the far-off Northern home, accompanied by the kind wishes and sweet sympathy of the loving hearts waiting and watching "for the return of peace." The story of women in the war can never be told, for every one of the gentler sex who, through active, untiring exertions in behalf of the brave soldier boys, has had her name high blazoned on the tablets of fame; there are hundreds, thousands of earnest workers, whose exertions were just as untiring, whose work was pursued with the same patriotic energy, yet whose deeds remain untold, and their lives unsung, and remembered only by the weary hearts whose sufferings were relieved, and their arm made stronger to strike for the Union, by the humble efforts of these unknown Sisters of Charity, whose church was their country, and whose charge included in its far-sweeping confines, every defender of the assailed Union. Again, rises the cry, echoed in every soldier's heart, "God bless the women of the war."
Upon the organization of the Forty-first Regiment-one hundred day men-in 1864, Grant was represented by one company, under the command of Capt. P. J. Schlosser.
This was followed soon after by two more companies, the first under the command of Capt. Likens, being mustered in as Company H, of the Forty-third; the second, Capt. C. H. Baxter, was assigned to the Forty-seventh, making Company K, of that regiment.
Thus nobly did Old Grant respond to the repeated calls for National defenders. Never looking back or counting the consequences, until the once populous county began to show serious evidences of this steady drain. A single evidence of this unhesitating outpouring, is taken from the Herald of September 6, 1864, which, speaking of the town of Paris, says: "This town polled one hundred and one votes in 1860, and spared eighty-seven volunteers previous to the 500,000 call. Under the last call, upon which the draft is pending, seventeen more have volunteered for other towns, making one hundred and four in all. There are left in the town three single men and twenty-nine married men; all between the ages of twenty and forty-five. Of those left, at least seven are unfit for duty, leaving but twenty-five able-bodied men in the town. The draft quota of that town is seven or eight, or about one-third of what is left."
As it was with Paris, so it was in every section of the county. The country is in danger ! was the rallying cry, and never was it raised in vain. To-day Grant County has the proud

honor of heading the list of counties of this State in the furnishing of men for the suppression of the rebellion.
THE DRAFT.
Following upon the heels of the President's second call for 300,000 men, in 1862, came another call for 300,000 drafted militia from those districts which could not at once raise volun- teers enough to fill their quota under both calls. The time allowed for enlistments was so short that the last call was virtually an order for a draft forthwith. The State was divided into dis- tricts coinciding with the Congressional Districts, with a Commissioner and Surgeon for each district. The Commissioner for the Third, in which was included Grant County, was Stephen O. Paine, of Platteville, the examining Surgeon being Dr. J. W. Hyde, of Lancaster. The enrollment of those liable to draft in the different counties was placed in the hands of the Sheriff of each county; this enrollment was to be finished by the 1st of September. The quota of Grant County up to and under these calls was 1714, or 505 above the number enlisted. Spurred by the necessity of avoiding, if possible, compulsory service, the county responded, by raising volunteers to the number of 500, over and above the quota called for, and thus put all danger of this and supposably a future draft out of the question. Speaking of this wonderful success in securing enlistments, the Herald of August 28, 1862, says: "We have already fur- nished in Grant County about 500 men above our full quota, and so gone beyond the posssibility of draft for the future. Grant County is, therefore, a safe place of refuge for those who fear a draft, just as safe as Canada, although we do not wish this statement to be taken as an invita- tion for all sneaks to make this county their asylum, we need hundreds of laborers here; our lead mines are nearly deserted; labor must be very dear, and the profits of capital and labor heavy for some months."
On the 3d of March, 1863, Congress passed the act, afterward known as the "Conscrip- tion Act," providing for the enrollment and drafting of all able-bodied males between the ages of twenty and forty-five. The States were divided into districts, over each of which was placed a Provost Marshal. Grant County, under this arrangement, came within the limits of the Third District of Wisconsin. The Marshal of this district was Captain, afterward Col. J. L. Clark, of Lancaster, whose headquarters were at Prairie du Chien.
October 17, 1863, came a call for 300,000, but neither under this nor subsequent calls did the draft bear down with any degree of severity upon the county generally, although a few towns which failed to avail themselves of the opportunity offered to obtain men to fill their quota, by paying local bounties, had to feel the sting of the dreaded draft within their borders. The status of each town in the county in January, 1865, under the calls of February 1, March 14, June 15 and December 19, 1864, was as follows:

Previous to these calls, the county had furnished nearly 2,000 men to stem the tide of rebellious treason, thus making her offering, up to the 1st of January, 1865, some 4,000, and of this great number but an infinitesimal portion were conscripts, the remainder being volun- teers who had left the plow. the forge, the mine, the store, in response to the call of their threatened country. Yet the Herald, in its issue of February 21, 1865, says: "About 510 volunteers will be raised in Grant County pending this draft. The average local bounty paid to each is about $300." It will thus be seen that "Old Grant" furnished to save the Union over 4,500 men, or about three-fifths of the male population of the county at that time, not allowing for those whose disabilities would exempt them from service. A prouder record can no county show. The muster-out rolls of Grant County Volunteers were obtained from Madison, and by order of the Board of Supervisors passed at the December session, 1866, they were ordered framed and hung in the court house of the county, there to serve as a reminder of the valor of "Old Grant."
Grant County paid out for war purposes, $336,062.46. This large sum does not include sums paid out by private subscription.
SKETCHES OF THE REGIMENTS.
Third Regiment .- The Third Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry was organized at Camp Ham- ilton, Fond du Lac, in June, 1861, and was mustered into the United States service on the 29th of the same month. In this regiment was Capt. Limbocker's company, Company F, the second company organized in Grant County. It was oficered as follows : Captain, G. W. Limbocker ; First Lieutenant, E. J. Bentley, Lieut. Britton having resigned soon after the organization of the company ; Second Lieutenant, E. J. Mecker. On the 12th of July, 1861, the regiment left the State for Maryland. Here they remained until the following spring, with no incidents of note happening aside from the capture of the " bogus " Legislature, in September, as it was about to convene for the purpose of passing an ordinance of secession.
In the spring, the regiment was attached to the Second Brigade of Williams' division of Gen. Bank's army corps, and joined in the march up the Shenandoah Valley. In the retreat that followed soon after, the Third brought up the rear as the column passed the Potomac. The Third took a prominent part in the battle of Cedar Mountain and suffered severely. Company F losthere, killed or died of wounds-Privates, Eaton W. Butler, Andrew Craig and Frank Dar- ling ; wounded-Corporals, A. A. Budd and Clay A. Fisher; Privates, James Holmes, S. H. Marvin, James Kelly, George Kalb, John W. Wian, Jonas Classor, Nelson Powell and D. P. David.
In the organization of the army by Gen. McClellan, Gen. Banks' troops were transferred to the Twelfth Corps. The Third, as a component part of Gordon's brigade, took part in the bat- tle of Antietam that followed soon after. Here the regiment marched through a bit of woods, and forming in line of battle, advanced to the attack. Coming up a rise of ground, they were met with a terrible fire of grape and cannister that mowed ghastly swaths in their ranks. The regiment, however, stood its ground, and poured in its fire with deadly effect until the enemy retired. The Third commenced the action with 345 men; when it ceased firing it numbered

less than 50. The losses of Company F in this engagement were : Killed or died of wounds- Privates, Thomas J. Duncan and John Olson. Wounded-Sergeants, S. Bartholomew and W. A. Beebe ; Corporals, F. W. Basford, A. Spooner and F. M. Castley ; Privates, J. G. Harsberger, John Kalb, James Murphy, Richard Nolten, George Hall, A. George, R. Fulton, Leon Beau- prey and William Holmes.
After Antietam, the regiment was engaged in various duties on the Upper Potomac, until in December it joined the army at Falmouth. In the April following, the Third took part in the operations of Gen. Hooker at Chancellorsville. On the 1st of May, while on picket, the regi- ment was attacked by the enemy in force, when it took position behind a fence, which position it retained during the day. The regiment continued to take a part in the battles of the succeed- ing days, and on the withdrawal of Gen. Hooker's forces, was in the rear-guard covering the retreat. The casualties in the battles ending May 6, were, in Company F. Wounded-Sergeant, Orlando Thomas ; Corporal, Richard Medley ; Privates, Henry Parker, Nelson Powell, William Holmes, George Kalb and John Childers.
On the 16th of June, the regiment rejoined the Twelfth Corps, from which they had been separated for a short time, and took part in the advance to Gettysburg. In this battle they were employed principally in skirmishing, and, with the exception of a brush on the 3d of July, they were not engaged with the enemy. Their loss in killed at this battle was Thomas Barton and William Wagner, both of Company F.
The Third, after joining in the pursuit of Lee's retreating forces as far as the Rappahan- nock, was ordered to New York City, to aid in enforcing the draft, returning soon afterward. The Twelfth Corps was now transferred to the Army of the Cumberland, and arrived at Steven- son, Ala., in October, where the regiment was employed guarding railroads until the 21st of December, when, the greater part having re-enlisted as veterans, under orders from the War Department, the Veteran Third left for Wisconsin four days later on a furlough.
February, 1864, found them again at the front, in Tennessee, where they were joined by recruits, which increased the regimental strength to 575 men. When the Army of the Cum- berland was re-organized, the Third was placed in the Second Brigade of the First Division, under command of Gen. Ruger, their former Colonel, their army corps being the Twentieth, formed from the consolidation of the Eleventh and Twelfth. The regiment joined its brigade in Georgia May 8, and on the 15th took part in the battle of Resaca. The rebels retreated dur- ing the night, but were again met on the 25th, near Dallas, where a stubborn fight ensued, in which the Third again signally distinguished itself. The casualties in these engagements for Company F were : Killed or died of wounds-Sergt. Francis M. Costly, Capt. J. W. Hunter ; wounded-Sergt. Samuel Bartholomew ; Privates William Holmes and Philander Tucker. The Third afterward took part in the advance upon Atlanta, and accompanied Sherman on his celebrated march to the sea. They were present at Raleigh at the surrender of the rebel army, and then marched for Washington, where they participated in the grand review of Sherman's army. From here, part of the regiment, whose term of service expired before the 1st of Octo- ber, left for Madison. The remainder of the regiment was consolidated with other regiments and sent to Louisville, Ky., where they remained until the 21st of July, when they started for home, arriving in Madison the 23d. They were there paid off and mustered out.
Seventh Regiment .- Immediately upon the departure of the first companies from Grant County, measures were taken to organize others. In every section of the county companies or portions of companies might be seen earnestly perfecting themselves in the duty of a soldier. Three full companies, Capt. Callis', of Lancaster, Capt. Nasmith's, of Platteville, and Capt. Finnicum's-the product of a union of the Wingville and Fennimore companies-were, by the last of July, ready for active service. The Legislature, at an extra session in May, 1861, had authorized the Governor to receive into the service two more regiments in addition to the six already organized, and under the authority of this act the Seventh and Eighth Regiments were organized, and the three Grant County companies were ordered to report at Madison, where they were mustered into the United States service as component parts of the Seventh
607
HISTORY OF GRANT COUNTY.
Regiment Wisconsin Volunteers-a body which has the proud, yet sad honor of having lost more men killed and wounded during the war than any other regiment from the State. This was in August. These companies formed C, F, and H Companies in the regimental organiza- tion, being officered as follows : Company C, Captain, Samuel Nasmith ; First Lieutenant, A. R. Bushnell ; Second Lieutenant, E. A. Andrews. Company F, Captain, John B. Callis ; First Lieutenant, Samuel Woodhouse; Second Lieutenant, Henry F. Young. Company H, Captain, Mark Finnicum ; First Lieutenant, C. M. H. Meyer; Second Lieutenant, Robert Palmer.
The regiment remained in camp until the 21st of September when they left the State for Washington. Commenting on their departure, the Journal, of current date, said : " The Seventh is almost entitled to be called a Grant County regiment, from the very large number of men contributed to it from that portion of the State. Three of the best companies are from Grant, namely : Capt. John B. Callis' company, numbering 116 men; Capt. Nasmith's, numbering 106; and Capt. Finnicum's, numbering 105-in all 327 first-class, hardy, intelligent men. Besides these there are forty other volunteers from Grant County in the regiment, enlisted and given over to other companies that were not full." The Seventh everywhere en route attracted marked attention for its soldierly bearing and fine appearance, much of the praise being show- ered down upon the heads of " Old Grant's " representatives. The Seventh reached Washing- ton the 26th of September and joined the brigade then organized by Gen. Rufus King, of Wis- consin, a body afterward the pride of the Nation and known as the " Iron Brigade of the West," mention of which has been previously made under the head of Second Regiment History. They were afterward encamped at Chain Bridge, the Seventh having the post of honor as the advance regiment of the brigade. Here they remained but a short time, when the brigade, having been assigned to Gen. McDowell's division, they went into camp at Fort Tillinghast, near the Ar- lington House. In March, 1862, the Seventh, with the remainder of the brigade, took part in the advance on Manassas. Returning with the remainder of the army, the Seventh was en- gaged in minor duties, changing location frequently. They took part in the movement on Fred- ericksburg a little later, Company C being ordered over the river to guard the south end of the railroad bridge erected by the Union forces. In July, the Seventh formed part of an expedition under command of Gen. Gibbon to Orange Court House. This march told terribly on all par- ticipating in it the heat being intense, companies and regiments succumbed to the torrid atmos- phere, until barely a corporal's guard would be left to a company, or a company to a regiment. Nothing of moment occurred on the march, a light skirmish with the enemy's cavalry being all the encounter in which the command was engaged. The brigade afterward took part in Gen. Pope's retreat and then moved to Sulphur Springs, and thence to Buckland Mills, and on the 28th encountered the enemy at the bloody battle of Gainesville. The brigade at the time was moving along in easy marching order, when the presence of the enemy was announced by a shell sent from a point of woods beyond. The Second Wisconsin was ordered forward to take the battery-as it was supposed to be-but found upon nearing the woods that the enemy was in force. The Seventh was then pushed forward to the assistance of the Second and thrown into position on the right of the latter. Finding that their position was not the most effective that could be chosen the regiment changed front and assumed a position nearer the enemy at the foot of a hill. From this the enemy made three attempts to dislodge them, being repulsed with great loss each time. All of the field officers of the regiment were wounded and carried from the field. Lieut. Col. Hamilton, remaining until the battle was over when he was obliged by the loss of blood to go to the hospital and the command of the regiment devolved upon Capt. Callis. The report of this officer speaks as follows of this battle and that of the 30th. "The regiment was not engaged on the 29th, but on the 30th it became apparent that we must renew the attack and the decimated condition of the Seventh and Second Wisconsin Regiments suggested the pro- priety of consolidating the two. * * * Our loss was heavy, but not so heavy as on the 28th. The whole affair of the 28th and 30th was conducted with as much coolness on the part of officers and men of the Seventh, Second and Sixth Wisconsin Regiments as though they were

on an ordinary drill." The casualities in the Grant County companies for these battles was as follows : Company C, killed, Thomas B. Sutton, Fred Nordorf .. Wounded, Corporals William P. Durley, Truman Quimby ; Privates Herman Radkil, John C. Bold, John L. Eastman. Missing, Rolland Williams, John J. Geyer, Edward Eason. Company F-killed, Sergt. Lewis W. Stevins, Corporals Edward S. McDowell and William A. Miles; Privates Harry Kentner and Herbert Roberts. Wounded, Capt. John B. Callis, slight, Sergt. A. R. McCart- ney; Corporals C. Giles Parker, William A. Smith and Francis A. Boynton; Privates C. B. Bishop, George Eustis, Perry Gilbert, W. H. Miles, John Marlow, Newton McPhail, Julius B. Nickerson, Danford Rector, William R. Ray, Lyman Carrier and John Lepla. Missing, Thos. McKee, Edward F. McDonald, Henry Rupkee. Company H-killed, Luther A. Schnee and W. G. M. Scott. Wounded, Corporals Nathaniel Johnson, John Monteith and Jasper Randolph ; Privates Robert J. Cutts, John Dillon, Francis Kearney, Martin Moore, John B. Murphy, Alonzo Springer, George M. Steele, Albert M. Steele, John Schultz, Joshua Thomp- son, Lucius Eastman, Silas Streeter, Benjamin Rice, Laman Russell, Samuel K. Potts.
In these battles the Seventh lost 250 men only a few were missing; "which," in the lan- guage of a correspondent writing at the time, "indicates that they stood up to the work without flinching."
The battle of South Mountain followed soon after. To the "Iron Brigade " was assigned the duty in this day's fight of carrying the gap in which the enemy was posted in force. Of the part taken by the Seventh in the battle the following, condensed from the report of the com- manding officer of the regiment, Capt. J. B. Callis, will give a brief but adequate account :
" About 4 o'clock on the evening of September 14, the Seventh Regiment was ordered for- ward through a corn-field, on the right of the pike running through the gap in the mountain. A hot skirmish-fire ensued, our skirmishers driving those of the enemy until his fire was so strong that the skirmishers could go no farther.
" I then received orders to advance the Seventh in line of battle. We advanced until the regiment was within less than a hundred yards of the enemy, receiving only an occasional shot, when suddenly they opened a most destructive enfilading fire from a stone wall on our left, woods on our right, and a direct fire from a stone wall in our front. This lasted for some fifteen minutes, when the Sixth double-quicked in at our right, and the Second doing the same at our left, leaving us to contend only with the direct fire in our front. We fought until our cart- ridges gave out, and were ordered to hold the ground at the point of the bayonet. The enemy advanced on us, but we made a charge upon them, when they 'skedaddled.' We held the ground until 11 o'clock at night, when we were relieved by Gen. Gorman's brigade. Our men all fought nobly and desperately. Company F was commanded by Sergt. William E. Sloat, Company I by Sergt. Prutezman, and Company B by Sergt. Weeks-afterward Captain. Great credit is due these men for the manner in which they conducted themselves as line officers."
The losses of Companies C, F and H at South Mountain were as follows : Company C- killed or died of wounds, Privates Wallace Holmes and W. B. Newcomb ; wounded, Corporals W. P. Durley, John Attyer, J. L. Rewey and Edwin Wheeler ; Privates D. C. Ashmere, D. H. Bryant, William Brestall, Malcolm Ray, Theodore W. Snelker and George Wells. Company F-killed or died of wounds, Privates Henry O. Kanmp, John L. Marks, George F. Halbert, J. A. Simpkens, George W. Cooley and James Clark ; wounded, Lieut. John W. McKinsie ; Corporals P. J. Schlosser and William A. Smith ; Privates George Atkinson, Henry Black, Jacob A. Drew, Milo Dexter, George A. Henderson, Fletcher S. Kidd, Alexander Lewis, R. B. Pierce and Thomas Price. Company H-killed or died of wounds, Privates Benjamin Burton and John B. Matthews ; wounded, Sergt. William L. Jacobs ; Corporal James H. Brunemer; Privates John Andrews, Isaac Coates, Henry Frendner, Joseph Heathercock, Stanbury Hitch- cock, S. K. Potts, Luman Russell, John Todd, Frederick Thies, Newton B. Wood, Nicholas Heler and John Steers.
The position at South Mountain was evacuated by the enemy during the night, and Mc Clellan's troops again came up with him on the 16th, strongly posted on Antietam

Creek. The part enacted by the Seventh in this bloody conflict is pictured by a correspondent of the State Journal, in a letter written some time afterward, in which he says : "Those who witnessed that fearful conflict on the plains of Antietam will remember the conspicuous part acted by the Seventh, in changing front twice while under a galling fire, and thereby saving the cele- brated Battery B, Fourth United States Artillery, belonging to the Western Brigade, from being captured. In Gen. Gibbon's report of the battle of Antietam, he says great credit is due to Capt. Callis, Acting Colonel of the Seventh, for the manner in which he maneuvered his reg- iment during the battle, and Capt. Callis, in his official report, pays a well-deserved compli- ment to Capts. Richardson and Gordon for their gallantry and efficient services. Through the memorable battles of August 30, September 14, 15, 16 and 17, the Seventh valiantly sustained the reputation which our Western soldiers have so nobly gained by their power of endurance and heroic deeds." The casualties at this battle were: Company C-killed or died of wounds, Pri- vate Albert Stout ; wounded, Privates A. Erb, J. Howard, H. Rewey and W. L. Mckinney ; Company F-killed or died of wounds, Privates Wesley Craig, Louis Kuntz, George F. Halbert and James A. Simpkins; wounded, Private John Runnion. Company H-killed or died of wounds, Sergt. Samuel Montieth; wounded, Private William Salmon.
