Tuer Seventh Infantry was organized for three months service,'at Camp Taylor, Cleveland, in the latter part of April, 1861; three companies being from Cuyahoga county, and the remainder from other counties of the Western Reserve. It soon went to Camp Dennison, near Cincinnati. On the 11th of May, the regiment elected EK. B. Tyler, of Ravenna, as colonel; W. R. Creighton, of Cleveland, as lientenant-colonel; and J. S Casement, of Painesville, as major. Three days later, on the three years call being submitted to the men, about three-fourths enlisted for that term. The others were discharged, recruiting officers were sent home, and on the 19th and 20th of June the Seventh Ohio Infantry, with full ranks, was mustered into the service for three years.

Companies A, B and K were principally from Cuyahoga county; Company A, during the war, having a hundred and - fifty-four men from that county; Company B, eighty-four men, and Company K, a hundred and sixtcen. Besides these, Company C had twentyseven men from Cuyahoga during the war; Company D, twenty-three; Company E, three; Company F, six; Company G, six; Company I, fourteen; and Company I, four; the total in the regiment, with field and staff, beg four hundred and thirty-seven.

In the last days of June the Seventh was ordered to Clarksburg, West Virginia. White there, a stand of colors was presented to it on behalf of the German Turners Society, of Cleveland. The first severe march was made from that place to Weston, thirty miles distant, on the last afternoon and night of June. After scouting in this vicinity a short time, the Seventh marched to the Gauley valley.

On the 15th of August it took post at Cross Lanes, where its suffered its first loss. Captain Schutte and fourteen men of Company-K, while on a scout, were ambushed; the captain being mortally wounded, and all but four of the men being also killed or wounded.

Ilaving retired from Cross Lanes, and being ordered to return, it reached there alone on the evening of August 25th. Next morning it was vigorously attacked by a heavy rebel force, and some of the companies thrown into confusion. Captain Crane, with Company A, made a charge, piercing the rebel line and capturing a stand of colors. His detachment was cut off from the main body, however, and obliged to escape through the mountains to Gen. Cox's army at Gauley Bridge. Four hundred men under Major Casement, being nearly surrounded by an overwhelming force, also escaped through the mountains. Others escaped singly or in squads, but the regiment had twenty-one men killed and wounded, and ninetysix taken prisoners.

In December the Seventh moved to Romney, near the Potomac, and in the forepart of January, 1862, with several other regiments, made a vigorous and successful movement, breaking up the intrenched

During the remainder of the winter the Seventh served under that brave and enterprising leader, Gen. Lander, and after his sudden death passed under the command of Gen. James Shields. On the 11th of March his command occupied Winchester, and on the 27th the Seventh took part in its first severe battle, that of Winchester.

After the enemy's plans had developed themselves, the Third brigade, with the Seventh Ohio at its head, was sent to charge a battery, holding an important position, in flank. A heavy rebel force was stationed in support, behind a ravine and a stone wall. The column charged gallantly, and, although unable at once to drive the foe from his strong position, held its ground and maintained a desperate conflict. Reinforcements came up on both sides, and the two

Near night the rebels began to retreat. The Union army made a charge along its whole line and the retreat soon became a rout. © Two pieces of artillery and four caissons were captured by the Third brigade. The enemy was pursued the next day, but could not be overtaken. The Seventh had fourteen killed and fifty-one wounded in this battle.

After various marches in the valley of the Shenandoah, the regiment took part in the battle of Port Republie on the 9th of June. While it was supporting a section of IHuntington's battery, the enemy charged the guns. The Seventh lay hidden by a growing field of wheat until the rebels were within casy range. 'Then the ringing tones of the gallant Creighton were heard, giving the order to rise up and fire. A shower of bullets riddled the lines of the advancing column. It staggered and halted, The Seventh dashed forward, and after a short but desperate conflict the foe was driven back, followed by the victorious men of Ohio.

Another charge on the extreme right was also repelled by the Seventh and some other troops. The fiery Jackson was in command of the Confederates and a third assault was soon made on the Union center, which was repulsed with still more loss than before.

Another attack was made, and a battery captured on the Union left. The Fifth and Seventh Ohio were directed to regain it. Under a tremendous fire they dashed up a hill and drove the rebels from the guns. Five color-bearers of the Seventh were shot down in as many rods. Lieutenant King seized the flag as the fifth man fell, pressed forward and was followed by the regiment, which drove the enemy to the shelter of a neighboring hill. From this, too, they were driven by the gallant Seventh and their comrades.

At this time large reinforcements joined the enemy, and as General Shields, with a portion of the Union army, was several miles in the rear, General Tyler, who was in command, thought it best to retreat. In this conflict the Seventh had nine men killed, and

Seventh Infantry

Colonel Tyler having received a brigadier's star, Lieutenant-Colonel Creighton had been made colonel, and Captain Crane, of Company A, major.

Being sent to Alexandria, the regiment remained there a month, and then joined MecIowell's forces in central Virginia. On the 9th of August the brigade to which the Seventh belonged, then commanded by General Geary, was with Banks at Cedar Mountain,

Telegraph Lill, was ordered forward under the fire of thirty pieces of artillery, to occupy acornfield in front of it. Though its ranks were torn by cannon balls and shell, and its men were falling at every step, it moved steadily forward and occupied the assigned position.

At four o'clock it moved into a meadow, and alone engaged in a desperate conflict with a vastly superior foree of the enemy. Creighton was wounded and foreed to retire. Crane was disabled. Captain Molyneaux took command. At length, when out of three hundred and seven men a hundred and cightyone, nearly two-thirds of the whole number, were killed or wounded, the little band who remained uninjured slowly and sullenly fell back to a safer position.

Even then its losses were not ended, for at night it was sent out on picket, and while advancing was fired on by heavy forees in front and on both flanks, and was forced to retire.

During the night Banks' entire corps withdrew to the position it had held before the battle. Three officers and twenty-seven men of the Seventh were killed in this battle, and eight officers and a hundred and forty-three men wounded.

The regiment next retreated with Pope's command to Washington, but was not enguged during the time. Soon moving north with McClellan, on the 17th of September the depleted band, scarcely to be called a regiment, took part in the battle of Antietam. Ordered to attack the enemy, strongly posted behind a rail fenee in the edge of a wood, the Seventh with other troops maintained a fierce conflict with musketry for an hour and a half, then charged and drove the rebels from their covert at the point of the bayonet, pursuing them fully three-fourths of a mile.

Taking up an advanced positicn, the division repelled a charge of General A. P. Iill's division, and again completely routed the enemy. Similar efforts all along the line gave to the Union army the victory of Antictam. The Seventh had five men killed and thirty-eight wounded in the battle.

The regiment soon passed into Virginia. While holding the post of Dumfries, on the 27th of December, 1862, with two other regiments, the command was attacked by Hampton's division of cavalry in the night. A few prisoners were captured on the picket line, but when the dismounted cavalry charged upon

Remaining in northern Virginia through the winter, in April, 1863, it advanced with the Army of the Potomac, then under Ifooker, and on the second of May became warmly engaged in the battle of Chrncellorsville. It was ordered to support a line of skirmishers, but as these would not advance, the Seventh passed them, drove back the foc, and held the ground till ordered to retire, which it did in good order.

On the 3d of May the Seventh led its brigade in a fiery charge on the enemy, who were driven back, but the brigade, being unsupported, was in turn compelled to retire a short distanee. During the night the heavy cannonading compelled its withdrawal to the vicinity of United States Ford. Though only engagen a short time in this battle, the little regiment had fourteen men killed, and seventy wounded.

It will be understood that a portion of the vacancies caused by death and disability were made good by recruits from time to time, but only a portion. The constant tendency was toward decrease.

In June the Seventh went north with the army of the Potomac, and on the second of July was engaged, but not severely, in the battle of Gettysburg. It was also engaged on the third, but was not in the hottest of the fight and was generally under cover. It had one man killed and seventeen wounded.

The regiment was soon after sent to New York, to help maintain order during the draft disturbances, but in September was ordered back to the Rapidan.

A little later the war-worn Seventh was sent with Hooker's two corps to join the Western army, and in due time arrived at Bridgeport. Early in November it reached the grand army at Chattanooga, which, on the 24th of that month, advanced against Mission Ridge. Only some preliminary skirmishing took place that day. The next day it moved with the whole army up the precipitous heights of Mission Ridge, but in front of its line the foe fled with comparatively little resistance. -

On the 27th the regiment with other troops reached Ringgold, Georgia, where it found the rebel rearguard strongly posted on Taylor's Ridge. The brigade to which it belonged, commanded by its own colonel, the fiery Creighton, was ordered to dislodge them. The Seventh and Sixty-sixth Ohio charged up the hill, but met with such a withering fire that they were compelled to fall back into a ravine. A deadly fire was concentrated on them here, and Col. Creighton again ordered them to retire. As they reached a fence, the colonel faced the enemy and waited for his men to cross it. While in this position he was shot through the body with a rifle-bullet, fell to the ground with his wife's name on his lips, and almost immediately expired.

The rebels wore soon obliged to retire by the approach of other Union troops, but they had inflicted an irreparable loss on the ever-faithful Seventh Ohio. Out of two hundred and six men in the action fourteen men were killed and forty-nine wounded. The instant death of the colonel and lieutenant colonel within a few moments of each other, both being men of remarkable valor, beloved and honored by their comrades, had a very depressing effect on the regiment and drew attention throughout the army. (eneral [Looker exclaimed, when he heard of it:

The loss of the regiment in the three battles of Lookout Mountain, Mission Ridge and Taylor's lhidge was five officers and fourteen men _ killed, and cight officers and fifty-four men wounded. At 'Taylor's Ridge only one officer present was left alive and unwounded.

The bodies of the two young heroes, Creighton and Crane (the former was but twenty-six and the latter thirty-four), were sent home to Cleveland, and buried with all the honors that a patriotic and deeply affected community could bestow.

The Seventh remained near Chattanooga through the winter, and in the spring of 1864 advanced with Sherman toward Atlanta. At Pumpkin Vine Oreck, on the 25th of May, it was warmly engaged for a short time; having three men killed and fifteen wounded. In June, while in camp at Allatoona, the term of the Seventh expired and it-was at once ordered home. About two hundred and fifty men, whose terms had not expired, were transferred to the Fifth Infantry. Two hundred and forty-five officers und men, all told, returned home; the remnants of over « thousand who went forth at their country's call three years before. They were welcomed at Cleveland on the 10th of June, 1864, by:an immense concourse, and accorded a banquet and a formal reception; being addressed by Governor Brough and Prosecuting Attorney Grannis.

The men were given a brief furlough; not being mustered 'out until after the Fourth of July, on which day, with the Eighth Ohio, they received another grand ovation.

During the service of the Seventh Ohio more than six hundred and thirty of its men were killed and wounded; a hundred and thirty being slain in the field. About a hundred also died of disease.

Taking it all in all, considering the number of its battles, its marches, its losses, its conduct in action, it may safely be said, that not a single regiment in the United States gained more lasting honor or deserved better of its country than the Seventh Ohio Volunteer Infantry.
