Knights Of The Golden Eagle

The order of the Knights of the Golden Eagle was founded in Baltimore. Md., February 6. 1873. Ity John Emory Burbagc. For a period of twelve years its growth was very slow and it was confined wholly to that state. But in 1885. certain prominent citizens of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and other Eastern cities became interested in the work and undertook its advancement. Its progress since then has been marvelous and unprecedented in the history of kindred organizations. The organization of the Order consists of a Supreme Castle. Grand Castle of the various states and Sutxmlinate Castles of the cities and towns. The order is both social and lnrncricial and during its existence in this county lias paid in sick and funeral benefits a little over Sto- 000.00 to its meml>ers and to the widows of deceased memlx-rs. There are at present four subordinate castles in Mahoning county and one Ladies' Temple.

The Catholic Mutual Benefit Association was organized in the village of Niagara Falls New York, in July, 1870. and was incorporated by the legislature of the state of New York, in 1871). Its act of incorporation i< known as Chapter (<>'> of the laws of New York, passed June 9, 187a

The object of this association, as set forth in section 5 of said act. is "to improve the moral, mental ami social condition of its members; to educate them in intcgritv. subrietv and frugality; to endeavor t<i make them contented with their position in life, and to aid and assist

The organization of this association was first suggested by the late lamented Rt. Rev. S. V*. Rvan. bishop of Buffalo, and by its memj hers he is referred to with pride and affection as the "Father of the C. M. H. A." This name with many other distinguished prelates and a vast number of the reverend clergy throughout the I'nitcd States and Canada adorn its rolls.

The qualification for membership are that a man shall he a practical Catholic, physically sound, oi the full age of eighteen years ami under fifty years of age at date of initiation. F.very applicant must have the signature oi the pastor of his parish to his application paper as a guarantee that he possesses the first qualification before his application can he considered in any branch. Being a business society having for its object a safe and reliable insurance for its members, ami as the strength and perpetuity of all such associations depend entirely on the nature of their risks, all applicants must undergo a rigid medical examination by a competent physician regularly appointed and sworn to perform his duty honestly. All certificates of examination made by such examiners must be submitted to the Grand Medical Fxaminer of the Council, who approves or disapproves the applicant, according to the statements contained in the certificates, and no person can be admitted or balloted tor until the branch has lieen notified of the approval of the Grand Medical Fxaminer of the Council. In addition to this, each branch has a board of five trustees. whom all applications must be referred, who are empowered to approve or reject.

No society that has ever existed has done so much to unite our Catholic men. to bring them together, 10 get them acquainted with ore another, to elexate them morally and socially, to wipe out the lines and prejudices of nationality, to brighten their intelligence by contact in meeting, and by inculcating a spirit of brotherly love, unity rind affection make them better men and better citizens. Uranches are bourn! to visit their siek and provide assistance fir the members ,.f their families when in need.

And Representative Citizens 393

The Ladies' Catholic Benefit Association is an auxiliary body that has proved of great assistance to the C. M. B. A. in carrying out their social features, not only in Youngstown but throughout the county.

Each state with 10 or more branches is entitled to form a Grand Council, subject to the Supreme Council, which is composed of its supreme officers 'and three representatives of each Grand Council.

The Yol Ngstown Maennerchor

The Youngstown Maennerchor was organ- 1 ized January 4. 1863, by a few German citizens of Youngstown. for the purpose of cultivating the art of vocal music, preserving familiarity with the old German folk songs, and keeping up the use of the German language mong its members. John Foch was the first leader, and among the original members were also John Brenner. Fritz Stoeber and George Kreichbaum, with one or two others. The society has always kept up its organization, and during the last few years has lwen growing rapidly, the present membership being over one hundred. Only about twenty-four of these are singers; however, the others l>eing passive or honorary members. From two to i three concerts are given every year, ami at Christmas time a sjK'cial entertainment, with Christmas tree, is given for the children. An instrumental branch of the society. coni|>osed 1 of some of the younger meml>ers. has lately ]>een started, which, it is expected, may develop in time into a capable orchestra. The present leader of the Maennerchor is Mr. John Adler. who is a well-trained vocal musician, and a hard worker for the welfare of the society. The governing officers are as follows : bred Hochlooh. president: Fritz Hardon, vicepresident; Carl Wodionkc, secretary: Conrad Shafer, treasurer; Carl YVodionke. Jr.. librarian. The trustees are Christ. Schwaz and Charles Rudolf.

Chapter Xxvi Public Institutions

The Mahoning County Infirmary is situated about two miles north by west of the village of Canfield in the township of that name. Perhaps nothing shows more clearly the degree of progress made by the present generation over those which have immediately preceded it, than by a comparison of present day methods in caring for the poor and infirm with those in vogue in this section less than a century ago. Of the latter the reader may gain some idea from an entry in the Coitsville township records, Book Xo. i. Page 19.

Coitsville. January 1. 1810. Whereas, information hath been given us that there is a certain Elizabeth Eward. came into our town, who is likely to l>ecome a town charge, we. therefore, according to law, command you James Mariner, Constable of Coitsville Township, to warn said Elizal>cth Eward to depart said township instantly, without putting the town in any further trouble. And you are to return, etc.. etc.

Signed, William Histon, James Rrai>fori>, Overseers of the I'oor. The modern way of dealing with such unfortunates is well exemplified in the following sketch.

The Mahoning County Infirmary was founded within two or three years after the organization of the county. Additions were made from time to time until there were several Imildings. certain quarters being reserved for insane jxuients who arc now cared for according to law in state institutions. On Saturday night. February 20, 1897, the infirmary was totally destroyed by fire, with the loss, however, of but one life - that of an insane patient who rushed back into the burning building after having been rescued from it.

The superintendent at that time was Mr. James Dickson. There were 235 inmates of whom forty-five were insane. That all were rescued, with the exception of the unfortunate man alxne mentioned, was chiefly owing to the herculean exertions of Mr. Dickson, and the six or seven attendants, who were assisted by some of the inmates. After the fire the Park hotel was rented for a while as a temporary infirmary, the insane patients being provided with quarters in the county jail.

tccts, and ;it a cost of abnit $140,000. They consist of four large buildings, a front and rear building with two wings - built of brick with stone foundations, and connected by two glass-lighted corridors crossing each other in the center at right angles. The front, or administration building, which is the smallest, measuring 40x70 feet, faces south and is occupied by the superintendent, with his family and assistants; it also contains the reception room for visitors. In the rear or main building, which measures 107x67 feet, is the large dining room, where the inmates take their meals together, separate tables being reserved fi r the women. It also contains the kitchen and laundry, the former, a capacious room, being provided with a large Burton range, sev- , eral large pitato steamers in which three bushels of potatoes are cooked for each meal; also coffee and tea urns, and other kitchen utensils, all of large capacity. Bread is baked three times a week, the bake-house containing a large mixer of two-barrel capacity, about one and a third barrels of Hour being used at each baking. The oven holds eight) loaves, each from three to four times the size of an ordinary ten cent loaf, ("lose to the kitchen, on the < ther side, is the milk cellar.

The wash room contains a large steam washing machine and a centrifugal wringer. Two other rooms are connected with this department, one containing a large steam mangle and the other being fitted up as a drying-room. A large mom on the second door of the main building was designed a- a chapel, but is used only occasionally, religious services being held but at irregular intervals, there being no chaplain attached to the institution.

The inmates occupy the two wings, the male inmates in the east, and females in the v, t"~t n ng. P v-e 1 11 1 ' 1 measure iv-[kv tively iiOviN feet and 173s feet. F.ach wing contains two large, and n number of small U-d moms, the latter being reserved in general for the aged or invalid-. < r thrso who for anv reiS"U require separate attention. There are accommodation* in the institution for 350 inmates, though at the present time

In Ixtth the mens and women's departments there are rooms devoted to hospital purposes, where patients too ill to sit up are cared for and given medical attendance. There are also rooms in which a few feeble-minded people receive special care and treatment.

In the rear of the main building are the engine and dynamo rooms, the former fitted up with a 36 horse-pow er Westinghouse electric engine, and three Balxrock l>oilcrs erected bv the Stambaugh-Thompson Company. This engine and the dynamo are soon to be replaced by a 55-horse-power Russell engine, of Massillon, Ohio, manufacture, having direct connection w ith a K. \V. compound electric generator of 540-light power. A small building back of the engine room is used as a machine shop.

Among the numerous smaller buildings funning a part of the institution are an icehouse, with a cajweity of >tx> tons, a soap factory, slaughter house, chicken house, turkey house, and cow shed. The kitchens, dairy, wash mom. and other working rooms are laid w ith cement floors.

The land forming the estate consists of jio acres on w hich are raised practically everything required for the consumption of the inmates and attendants. Last year the farm produced 1 So bushels of wheat. 1.135 bushels of oats, 1.400 bushels of ears of com. and _\_>oo bushels of potatoes. Seventy-five tons of hay were also cut. being required for the live slock on the estate. Of the latter there are at present some twenty-live cattle, besides a gin idly number of hogs ami chickens, with a few turkevs. 1m the dairy were made list January 300 pounds of excellent butter.

Mr. Robert S. Taylor; he is ably assisted by liis wife, who fills the post of matron, and by seven or eight employees. Visitors are admitted to the infirmary on Thursdays and Fridays.

With one or two exceptions, all the inmates are free patients no case being admitted until it has been passed upon by the hoard of directors, the memliers of which are elected even- two vears. This Ixjard. which visits the infirmary on the first and third Fridays of e.ch month, consists at present o f I. K. Weir, Thomas I'rosser and George Gordon.

Rkl'Ben M Milla.N' Free I.Ihrary

I A brief historic -ketch of llu- library 1- incUulol in this, the first primed annual report of the librarian to the trustees. For the earlier years sve quote a report to the board of education, l8«^-gK, hy Miss Julia A, Kihhcock, Librarian, :X.lo-i8.j«.]

Sometime in the 40 s the general assembly of Ohio passed a law providing for the furnishing of liooks to even- school district in the state. Every family was entitled to one volume at a time, although no meml>er of the family attended school in the township. The bulks' were sent to the various board of education in the state and Youngstown received its !ti 1800. with the breaking out of the Civil war, the statute was suspended. In 1870, when Miss Pearson and I took charge of the library in the Wood street school building there were 10X volumes in the superintendent's office. The books were marked Ohio Scbn.1 Library.

Manv of the liooks were not adapted to the needs of children. Feeling the necessity of something outside of the text books to interest and develop the pupils, we enlisted the interest of the teachers and parents and the aid and advice of our worthy superintendent. Mr. McMillan. In iS-_' the first venture was made in an entertainment which netted about $100. Thus was used for liooks suitable for schools.

Each vear a festival or a literary entertainment was given bv the pupils and teachers for the lienetit of the library. The b>ard of education furnished a room and a librarian.

About 1875 a number of teachers, members of the Ijoard of education and public spirited citizens formed an association to further the interests of the library. In 1878 the library was moved to the rooms of the board of education in the First National Hank block and was opened to the public on Saturday evenings.

In 1880 the association took out articles of incorporation in order to receive gifts ami legacies. The name of the corporation was the Youngstown Library Association. The charter members were: Reuben McMillan, Dr. F. S. Whitslar, Dr. J. S. Cunningham, Sarah F. Pearson and Julia A. Hitchcock. Mr. Sidney Strong was active in forming the new association, framing the constitution and bylaws. The board of education had control of the library until March. i8«;i. the association loaning its liooks to the board, contributing dues and whatever other money came by gift or otherwise. The board of education contributed S300 yearly as a hook fund ami paid all other , expenses except a part of the librarian's salary. In 1890. through the efforts of some of our public spirited men, notably John H. Clarke, a law was passed, March .25. by the ( )hio general assembly applying specially to Youngstown, by which a tax could he levied ] on the projierty of the city for library purposes.

In order to use the tax money for the purchase i of liooks the association decided to raise money , by subscription to meet current expenses. This : was done in 1 89 1 and 1S02, the board of education liearing the expenses jointly with the association.

Early in 18(17 some friends and pupils of Mr. McMillan were at a social gathering, at which Mrs. McMillan was present. The subject of memorials came up for discussion, during which Mrs. McMillan expressed her views together with those of her husband. Thev I chose to lie remembered in the hearts of their I friends.

The idea of dedicating the library to the memory of Mr. McMillan was there conceived and suggested by Mrs. McKlevey and from the seed then sown has grown the beautiful structure which we hope to occupy in the near future.

"A man who sought neither wealth nor honor save as these were to lie found in the faithful doing of his duty. He spent a long life for meager salary, in training the youth of the city to live the highest intellectual life. When his name was chosen for the library it was because his generation chose to honor and revere that type of manhood which finds its best expression in 'That high stern- featured beauty of steady devotedncss to duty.' "

In 1897 the name of the Youngstown Library Association was changed to the Reuben McMillan Free Lihrary Association and that of the library to the Reuben McMillan Free Library.

In 1898 the Richard Brown house was purchased, S36.652.61 being raised by popular subscription for house, refitting and lot. The building was dedicated February to. 1899.

The policy of the lihrary has from the founding of the association been broad. In 1805 sets of liooks were loaned to schools; in free access to shetves was given to users of the library; in X;oi the library opened its doors on Sunday afternoons: co-o]>cration with the Haselton library was then established :in H)04 home libraries were established.

The library has received legacies from the e-tate of David Theobald. $300.00; Charles 1). \rms. $5.ooo.<x> ; and Mrs. Caroline Theolmld. Stoo; Mrs. Richard Brown gave an adjoining

Ton great praise cannot well lie bestowed upon those who originated and fostered this institution in early years: nor u]x>n those who toi>|< up this work in later ones and devised ways and means to place it up in a permanent foundation and provide for it an adenuatc home. By reason of the contributions of the nnny, it belongs to the people - a free library, supported by the people and for the people.

Report Ok The Librarian, April, I905

"While the past year shows no very important changes, we feel that with the increase in volume, the work has become more of a unit and the year the most successful one in the history of the library.

" The most gratifying development of the year has l>een in the number of readers who use the library for reference. There was an actual increase of 58 per cent over the previous year, while the gain for the last two years was 1 13 per cent.

"The gradual rounding out of the differei t departments is being accomplished. The selection of 1 looks for purchase has been mainly from the American Library Association catalogue of 8.o(x> volumes for a popular library. Nearly 300 of the best socialists cooperated in making up the lists. Most of the books in I the catalogue we had already. The others are received too hue for their u-e and worth to be appreciated bv the public in this statistical I year. With these additions the people may well be proud of the selection of !>ooks in the library.

"Again, as a consequence of the net price svslem on luniks, increasing the cost from 25 to 30 per cent, it 'iris seemed c\[iedient to curtail as much ;is possible the purchase of cur re-it \mericrm publications. Many lx«>ks have been impirtcd. others picked up through second hand and rem.nr.der catalogues. The library has thus secured books of enduring worfli at very advantageous prices. This has restricted recent accessions to authors of established reputation, or to volumes which have been before the public long enough to have demonstrated their merit. The more recent books of fiction have been obtained through the Bodley Club.

"Accessions - 4.090 volumes were added during the year and while a great many worn out books have been discarded, there is an actual net gain of 3.936 volumes, making a total of 24,640 in the library.

"Among the new accessions may be specially mentioned those in foreign languages - Swedish and German. It is hoped that Hungarian lxjoks may be added soon.

"Loan Department - During the year 73,- 777 were issued for home use from the main library, schools and home libraries. This represents an increase over the previous year of

"Periodicals - 89 current periodicals are now received in the periodical room, an increase of eight over last year. Of the accessions may be specially mentioned poultry journals. The list is appended to the report; 47 were gifts.

"Cataloguing - The work of the year includes the cataloguing of the new accessions. The Library of Congress printed cards have been purchased as far as possible.

"Reading and Reference - The growth of attendance has been constant and the statistics show an increase of 7.651 ; 1,016 came on Sundays, an increase of 173. The total attendance was 24.036.

"Special efforts on the part of the librarian have been made for individual and special workers, clubs and teachers. Four hundred and seventy-eight subjects were especially looked up for study clubs, aid given in making

"A Girls' Club for reading met weekly during the summer vacation. The members made scrap books for the younger children in the children's room.

"The attendance in the children's room for reading during vacation has been most encouraging. This habit of coming to the library for reading even for short periods, has been specially noticeable among the lower classes of the Raven school and shows the influence of the children's room of the preceding years. Many of these students come daily and more subjects of general interest are looked up than ever before.

"While a report from the children's department can never express in figures the result of its work, a careful investigation of what has been accomplished with the children would convince any interested observer, that some of the most telling work for the general good of the community and for the future success of the library, has been done among the children. We have plenty of evidence to show what sensational and injurious stuff they do read if better is not provided.

"Scattered throughout the city are innumerable small shops where most debasing and sensational literature is sold to children. Is it j not a wise expenditure of effort for a free public library to enter vigorously into competition with these purveyors, and place within the reach of every child of our city all the clean and wholesome literature it can secure?

Home Libraries

Run ( 1 ). The libraries were sent out in November and exchanged once during the w inter. The circulation of Ixxiks was 8S5. The number of meiiiU-rs was 7-'.

"This seed planting has borne fruit in every district where these books have lx-en sent. Desire tor reading material has now come to us from the older children, men and women in these districts. Larger collections of looks should be placed there in stores. schools or fire engine hou>es as deposit stations. We believe that the time has now come to adopt tins broader public policy, lor citizens farthest away need the reading necessary for good citizenship as much as those who are near the heart of the city. It is also theirs by right, since they also are taxpayers.

"Work with the schools has I iecn continued along the lines of reference, school duplicates and story telling. Books have been sent to 171 schools. As a result of the meeting «»f the library committee oi the Board of Education in February with the executive board. $300 aid was appropriated by the sch.s.l board for the purchase of new sets of school duplicates.

tunes, many of the set- lacing used each term and sometimes bv tW" teachers the same term in the same building. Eighteen miscellaneous sets were loaned; the record of the u-e of thoe sfts is incomplete and shows a partial use m )'»<s.

The Yonngstov, r. City Hospital was t'ot'.nded in iSSj, and much of the credit is due to the late John Stambattgll for its inception and organization. Jt was actively begun by the incorixiration in that year of the Youngstown City Hospital Association, the institution being opened in the following year. The original frame buildings were added to from time to time, as the l>enericent work of the institution extended year by year, until finally the imperative necessity for a modem and much larger hospital was promptly met by many patriotic citizens. The new hospital was formally opened July n. njo.V

In the construction of the present institution careful attention has l>ccn given to the advice of some of the best experts in the country. The buildings, which stand on a new site, crowning a steep bluff, which commands a line view of the city and of the Mahoning valley, are constructed of native limestone, trimmed with Indiana limestone, ami the grouping of the single detached wards and the administration building is very graceful. The administration building contains three stories and basement. <>i.\<>5 feet in size. The main corridor, winch extends the entire length of the hospital, connects the various wards, as well as the nurse-.' home, divides the administration building into executive offices in front, and the operating wing in the rear. The buildings are set back on a line eighty feet froin Frances street, and present a \ery beautiful appearance to the passerby. The bospital is a magnificent testimonial to the philanthropy of the citizens of Youngstown. many of whom have given freely of their money to erect and emtip the new hospital buildings.

I'Mvatf Room Novations

In addition to the above there were cash and materia! donated to the total amount of S1j.8j2.50,. This included contributions, a number of them in large amounts;, from some of the leading business and manufacturing concerns of Younostown as well as from private individuals. There were also a numlx'r of contributions amounting in the aggregate to $545.50. for the purchase of an X-ray machine, as well as numerous contributions of bxiks. papers, magazines, flowers, pictures, toys, baby clothes, etc., chiefly from ladies. In connection with the hospital there is a training school for nurses, which has achieved a high standard of excellence in the work done by its pupils. The following is the report of

Medical Casks

The hospital has a skillful medical and surgical staff, including several well known specialists, with an adequate number of trained nurses, under an efficient directress. Besides the officers of the association, who are elected annuallv. and the trustees, who hold their office lor life, there is a Hoard of Lady Managers, who take care of the committees on Inspecting. Supplies. Flowers, Entertainments and Library. The Executive. Finance, Purchasing and Soliciting Committees are app linted annuallv from the Hoard of Trustees. Mcmliers from b>th boards serve on the Training School Committee. The present superintendent of the hospital is Miss Sadie Sims.

Mahoning Valley Hospital

In the spring of 1891 a number of Youngstown physicians, who were dissatisfied with the conditions wliich then prevailed at the City Hospital, formed an association to provide separate accommodations for their patients. Among them were Drs. A. L. King. Mm McCurdv, A. I£. Warren, C. C. Booth, j. A. Dickson, L. U. Howard. M. S. Clark and Jared E. Cone. Tlie old Tod city mansion, built by Governor Tod on Holmes street, near Federal, shortly l>efore his death, was rented and used by the doctors for this purpose

In December of the iollowing year some- Sisters of Charity from Pittsburg came to Youngstown for the purpose of founding a hospital, and got into communication with the physicians aliove named. Arrangements were made whereby the hospital passed into the hands of the said Sisters, they purchasing the property from the Tod estate. The house was thoroughly remodeled and fitted up as a hospital, for which purpose it is still used. It has forty beds, which are contained in large, airy rooms, well lighted, and provided with all necessary accommodations for the sick. There are also a few private rooms for special patients. Besides what is paid in by patients, the institution received one-half of the fund appropriated by the city for hospital purposes. It is under the immediate charge of the Sisters, who are assisted by a Ixiard of directors. While the Sisters owe obedience in matters of faith to the Catholic Church, and are members of the diocese of Cleveland, the hospital is independent of the diocesan jurisdiction. It is visited by the Catholic clergy, and also by pastors of the various Protestant denominations, or other religious organizations, whenever their ministrations are desired by any of tlie patients, the institution being open to patients of all religions.

Olknwooij Children'S Home

The purpose of the (ilenwood Children's Home is to provide homes for homeless and neglected children under sixteen years of age. It was first opened for the reception of children in the year 1900.

The home is situated on one of the most charming spots in the city of Youngstown, facing upon (ilenwood avenue, and overlooking the beautiful Mill Creek Park, and a broad stretch of undulating farm land.

There are eleven and one-half acres of : land used for ornamental and garden purposes. The buildings consist of a sul)stantial brick central structure, to which is attached by a covered corridor a cottage which is used as a dormitory, school and a play-room for , the boys ; the girls for the present being cared J for in the main building. When the original ' plan is completed, a like cottage for the girls will be provided.

There is a substantial frame building on the grounds, occupied by the gardener, and a convenient barn will soon be erected. A sewerage filter plant has l>ccn installed and the healthfulness of the home, within and without, has thus been assured.

The report of the superintendent, Miss Elizabeth Harlow, for the year ending August 31, 1906, shows some useful work done in improving the grounds and in providing suitable arrangements for the amusement and recreation of the children. The highest nutnl>er of children cared for in the home during the year was thirty-two. There had been a uniformly good state of health, with freedom from epidemics.

The children received into the home must be of good moral character and have satisfactory references. They are given at least five months' schooling each year, and are required to attend church and Sabbath school when possible.

At the age of eighteen they are free and receive a good outfit of clothing and a bounty of from $50 to $100. They may be visited once a year or oftener by some one duly au- thorized, and may be legally adopted by responsible persons whose character is satisfactory to the officers of the institution, and the right of recalling a child when its welfare demands it, is reserved.

Florence Crittenden Home

The Florence Crittenden Home, of Youngstown, is one of a large number of homes of refuge and reformation for erring and unfortunate women that have been established in some sixty cities of the United States, besides Japan, China, France and Mexico. They owe their existence to the efforts of Mr. Charles Crittenden, a wealthy business man of New York, who was led to consecrate himself to Christian work through the death of his little daughter, Florence, after whom every home is named. It was this great affliction that first caused Mr. Crittenden to seek strength and consolation in religion. Alter a period of despair and rebellion against the Divine will, lasting for some months, his heart was finally softened. He found peace in resignation to God's will, and sought and found a field of Christian activity in the work of saving "Our Little Sisters," to which he now gives all of his laige income. The first mission was opened at No. jo. Bleeker street. New York city, some twenty-three years ago. and since then the work has Iwen steadily growing. It has been the means of rescuing thousands of young women and girls who had, through weakness, temptation, or unfortunate environment, let go their hold on right living, and has saved many more who were in danger of taking a similar false step.

"'Any destitute, dissipated, or fallen woman or girl desirous of leading a better life, is cordialty invited to the home, and may remain for such period of time as the Board of Managers shall deem best." Women and girls who have no home, or are out of employment, are also welcome until some employment is found. In this way many who are stranded are enabled to keep out of bail hands and tide over a time of stress and danger. The more detailed sketch of the local institution which

"The Youngstown Florence Crittenden Home is due originally to the persistent prayers and efforts of a few of the devoted \Y. C. ' T. U. ladies of our city, the following being j the primary movers: Mrs. E. A. Hall, Mrs. Jane Davis, Mrs. Paisley, Mrs. Gravell and Mrs. Ferrin. A year or so previous to the spring of 1902, at the invitation of the above named ladies, Mrs. Kate Walter Barrett. National Superintendent of the Florence Crittenden work, together with our present matron, J Mrs. Jayncs, visited the city. Mrs. Barrett ; presented the work in public meetings, and Mrs. Jayncs, staying some days longer, soliciting subscriptions throughout the city.

"In April, 1902, Mrs. E. A. Hafl and Mrs. Jane Davis appeared before the Ministerial Association asking the privilege of speaking concerning the needs of such a home in Youngstown. This l>eing granted, they also presented personal letters from the Chief of Police and other leading citizens of Youngstown, strongly urging the necessity of such a home, and especially emphasizing the adaptability, of the Florence Crittenden Homes for this work. After listening to their earnest pleas a committee was appointed by the association to consider the need and advisability of such a home in co-operation with these ladies. In due time this committee reported favorably on the matter and was instructed to continue their services.

"After corresponding with headquarters at Washington, the Rev. Mr. Mason, a field worker for the Florence Crittenden work was brought here and s|>ent a month in the city speaking in the churches and soliciting subscriptions for the new enterprise. During his stay in the city a permanent organization was formed with the following persons as officers: Rev. C. H. Stocking, president ; Rev. W. G. White, vice-president : Rev. 1). T. Thomas, recording secretary: Mr. I.. A. Thayer, treasurer: Mrs. S. A. Hughes, corresponding secretary.

which consist of a lioard of trustees ami an advisory biard. and the ap]xiinting of standing committees, namely: a finance committee, an admission committee, house committee, and religious committee, a building committee was appointed and instructed to proceed at once to the securing of a home. After much hunting and examining, the I-cet property, in Girard. Ohio, was purchased. Mrs. Jaynes, our present efficient matron, was called to take charge of the home in March, 1903. and with the exception of a few months, has continued to till this difficult position in a most proficient and satisfactory way from its inception to the present time. But lie fore we had occupied our Girar<| home six months it became evident that it was too far away and too small to serve the best puqiose and meet the urgent and increasing need.

"After further investigation a residence of eleven rooms was purchased mi Hine street. In less than a year after occupying this property we were for the second time face to lace with the problem of securing still larger quarters. This time we were fortunate in securing our present large, commodious and delightful location, namely: the old Baldwin home on McGulTey street, which the national officers say is one of the very finest in the whole chain of Florence C rittenden Homes, one which Youngstown may well be proud of.

donors and friends which deserve highest commendation, without which service, indeed, it might be said that the Florence Crittenden Home of Youngstown would have been impossible. For instance, the great service rendered it in its Ix-ginning bv the late Rev. \V. G W hite and the late Mrs'. Ford. Rev. A. L. Frazicr and Mr. I- A. Thayer. The splendid and untiring devotion of Mrs. Henry Heedy. who. as chairman of the finance committee during most ot this time, has been instrumental in raising more than three-fourths of the funds for the establishment and support of our home. And common courtesy demands that we speak of the invaluable services rendered the home by our staff of physicians,

The home was o]>encd in the usual way by Mr. Crittenden's subscription of $1,000. and is supported almost entirely by charity. The late Mrs. Arabella Ford, who was untiring in her

' efforts to improve the financial condition of the institution, succeeded in soliciting alsout 100 yearly memberships which represented Si-'.sO each, and which for a time were adequate to meet the daily excuses. Nine thousand dollars were raised bv soliciting and selling the Hine street property, and monthly donations were obtained from a number of lending business men of (he city.

Chapter. Xxvii

Ohio has never l>een found lacking in the military spirit whenever need arose to arm for defense against foreign or domestic foes. The War of 181 j awakened this latent military spirit to a high degree, and as early as September, 1810. in anticipation of approaching hostilities, and still more, perhaps, in view of the fact that the Indians were already committing depredations on the bonier settlements there was preparation made for repelling the threatened attacks.

There was in Youngstnwn a full turnout of every able-lxnlied man. la red P. Kirtland. son of Turhand Kirtland, who was an eye witness of this muster, was. as he says in a letter written from East Rockport. Ohio, August 20. 1874. '"surprised to see an apparent wilderness furnish some six or seven hundred soldiers. The regiment formed with its right near Colonel Raven's residence, and marched to a vacant lot near Main street and the Mahoning river, near the mouth of Mill creek, and was there reviewed. Simon Perkins was brigadier-general: John Stark F.dwards. brigadier-major and inspector: William Raven, colonel: George Tod. adjutant : and John Shannon and -

McConnel, majors. Xo one at that time was disposed to evade his duties, and two years afterward, the efficiency and patriotism of that body of men were thoroughly and favorably tested." This force formed a part of the Fourth Division, organized under the militia laws passed at Chillicothe, Ohio, in 1803-4, and which included Trumbull, Columbiana and Jefferson counties. The county of Trumbull constituted one brigade. The Third Brigade, commanded by General Simon Perkins, embraced the present counties of Mahoning, Ashtabula, and Trumbull, and consisted of three regiments, commanded respectively by Lieutenant-Colonels William Raven. J. S. Edwards and Richard Hayes. The title colonel was used in the militia only by courtesy, it having been abolished in imitation of its abolishment by the Continental establishment after the Revolutionary war.

In Febraury. 181 2. Congress passed an act increasing the i'nited States army, and providing for a regiment of volunteers from Ohio and Kentucky. These men were to lie obtained from the different militia regiments, if possibly by voluntary enrollment. ( ieorge Tod was subsequently appointed major of this regiment, which was listed as the Seventeenth I'nited States. Samuel H. Wells, colonel. Owing to a strong sentiment against the war on the part of the old-time Federalists recruiting went slowly until war was actually declared on June 12, 1812. General Perkins returned a list of commissioned and non-commissioned officers and privates as the quota of the Third Brigade. The time l>efore the actual opening of hostilities was spent in drilling, and all promised well until Hull's cowardly surrender of Detroit on August 16th to an inferior force of British, Canadians and Indians under General Brock.

This disaster was of ominous import to the Reserve and in view of a probable invasion. General Wadsworth issued an order for the whole military force under his command to rendezvous at Cleveland. The citizens in every part of the Reserve had already rushed to arms. From the Cuyahoga came women and children in hurried flight to the interior, and wild rumors of approaching British and Indian forces spread excitement and alarm everywhere and nerved to warlike resolution even' man, young or old, capable of tearing arms. Old hunting ritles were cleaned, knives sharpened, and powder horns and bullet pouches filled with ammunition. So many responded to the call that General Wadsworth gave orders for half of the volunteers to be sent home to act as a reserve in case of emergency. General Perkins had been given command at the front. A block house known as Cam]) Avery had been erected at Huron near the present site of Milan and thither inarched Colonel Richard Hayes with eight comjmnies of Trumbull and Ashtabula troops, w hile Colonel Keyen's regiment from the south part of Trumbull county joined the front rank about September 15th. In the camp the troops suffered much from sickness, especially from malaria and bilious fever which greatly reduced their ranks.

The Indians committing some depredations, a volunteer party w as organized under Captain Joshua A. Cotton to proceed against them. They met the enemy on the J«)'h of Septem- Ikt, and a spirited engagement took- place in which six of the volunteers were killed and ten wounded.

The President on September 5th issued an order for a draft of loo.nrx) men for the regular service, the Fourth Ohio Division being required to furnish three regiments. These were reported by General Wadsworth as ready for service by November 28, 1812. Early in December, General Wadsworth, having performed patriotic and useful service in defending the frontier, returned to his home in Canfield. He had performed this service without any assured financial support, contracting the necessary obligations on his own responsibility, and relying upon the honor of the government for the settlement of all just claims, as he explains in the following letter to the secretary of war :

Sm: Having on the 20th nit. completed the force ordered by you from my division liy your letter of September 5th. and placed them under the immediate command of General Harrison, reporting to him the whole force, it seemed that my service was no longer necessary or required by government, and accordingly on the .toth I left the headquarter* of the right wing of the Northwestern army at Huron and returned home.

Various cause* combined, which were altogether Iteyond my control, have in some measure lengthened the time in completing the organisation of the detachment. However, no time has been lost The extensive new settlement* have been saved from savage barbarity, and the detachment is equally ready to go forward with tin- main army. Doubtless you are sensible of the great disadvantages 1 have labored under to equip, support, and march into the field stub a detachment of men without money. Although the credit of the United States may be goo.l, there is a class of citizens that will not lend any assistance or support to the war. Of course it is more difficult to procure supplies for a military force, and in the jTesctit case has fallen heavy on the real friends of the government. You see I am placed tn a critical situation. By my orders great expenditures have accrued I am daily called on for payment and several suits have been actually commenced. Although I do not conceive myself personally hidden, yet it will make extra expense ami. Sir, I do conceive it necessary .is well for the honor of the Government as the good of the creditors, that some effectual measures be immediately adopted to save expense Would it not be advisable to appoint some person within the limits of my division to audit and pay off those demands?

Owing to the destruction both of the national and state records, those at Washington having been destroyed in the burning of the capito! by the British in 1814, it is not known what companies continued in the army after February, 1813, the date of the expiration of the original enlistments. "It is known, however, that many soldiers from Trumbull county participated in the campaign of 181 3, which terminated in Harrison's brilliant victory of the Thames in the fall of that year. That victor)- left the Northwest secure, the Indians having been brought to peace, and the British arms driven from Upper Canada.'*

Mexican War

After peace with Great Britain had been declared there was no further call for military service from the inhabitants of the Reserve until the breaking out of the Mexican war in 1846. when enlistment offices were opened in the principal cities and towns throughout the country. But three men. so far as we have been able to learn, enlisted from Youngstown, or any part of this county, to serve in that war, which was considered by the opponents of the Jackson administration as being an unnecessary and needlessly provoked war.

These three men were William Crum. Henry Crum, and Edward Morley. none of whom are now living. Two Mexican War veterans, however, are now residents of Youngstown - Charles G. Viall and Captain Samuel C. Rook. The latter, who at the age of eighty years, is still hale and hearty, and actively engaged in business, is also, a veteran of the Civil War. In Mexico he served in General Heintzelman's command, and well remembers hearing General Winfield Scott make a stirring speech to the soldiers just before the army entered the city of Mexico. Both he and Mr. Viall enlisted for that war from other states. Captain Rook, then a young men, going out in a spirit of adventure from Pennsylvania.

uninterruptedly until the overweening arrogance and ambition of its leaders brought about its final extinction in the bloody conflict of 1861-65. When, soon after the firing of the first gun upon Fort Sumter. April 12, 1861, President Lincoln issued his call for seventy-five thousand troops, his appeal was nowhere answered with more patriotic enthusiJ asm than in Ohio. Camps were established in various parts of the state, to which the newly enlisted soldiers were sent for organization and drill. Of the four thousand men who had been thus recruited by the end of the month, one company was front Mahoning county, one from Trumbull, and a detachment of light artillery from both counties. They rendezvoused at Camp Taylor, where they were joined by other companies, and the

Seventh Ohio Regiment of Volunteer Infantry was formed. Full of patriotic ardor, all were anxious to go to the front. Early in May thev left Camp Taylor and marched into Cleveland, whence, more than a thousand strong, they took the cars for Camp Dennison, Cincinnati. Here the regiment was organized by the election of E. B. Tyler, of Ravenna, Ohio, as colonel ; William R. Creighton, lieutenant-colonel; and John S. Casement, major; the men received their uniforms and being put under strict discipline, entered upon actual work of soldiers. Soon after, the President issuing a call for three years' troops, the Seventh responded almost to a man, and after a six days' furlough, were mustered into the three years' service. They liegan regular duty in Western Virginia, and soon after were ordered to join General Cox, whose division was then moving up the Kanawha Valley. It being ascertained that four thousand Confederates under General Floyd were preparing to cross the Gaulev at Cross I.anes, the spot recently vacated by the Seventh, a countermarch was ordered and the enemy was encountered at dawn on the following day in large force. A skirmish ensued and the Seventh after making a brave stand, was driven back by su|)erior numbers, losing 120 men in killed, wounded and prisoners.

In October, uiiilcr Colonel Dyer, win had assumed command, the Seventh participated in the pursuit of Floyd through West Virginia, It was then transferred to Central Virginia ami. as a part of (ietieral Lander's ci nmnand retreateil hefore (ieneral Jackson to Hampshire Heights, where ten days were s|>cnt, it tieing mid-winter, in hoi-ten ni> weather with snow ten inches deep, the troops having scarcely any protection from the Cold, am! I icing at tlie same time short of rations The re-t of the time until spring was -pent in crimp at Pawpaw Station, where (ieneral Landers died and was succeeded by ( ieneral Shields.

Under ( ieneral Shields the regiment played a conspicuous part at the battle of W inchester. March 2}. i Si >_*. losing fourteen killed and hftv-oiie wounded, liesidcs several prisoners. Co|i>nel Tyler was promoted io the rank of brigadier-general. Incitif^ succeeded in the colonelcy of the regiment by Lieutenant-Colonel Crcighton.

An order having been issiieil hv the war department for dencra! Shields* division to join (ieneral Mellow ell at Fredericksburg, the troop,, alter a nine days' march readied their destination May 1st. and on the following day were reviewed hy President Lincoln and other officials. The Seventh was soon again actively engaged in repelling (ieneral Jackson's inarch t. .ward Washington. With the Fifth Oh o it was in the center of the fight, and for live hours, under i'.ncr of a held of wheat, three thousand muskets were successful in repelling fourteen thousand ot (he best troops in the (.'oil federate serv ice. A retreat being . .rdcicd. the Seventh was made the rear guard, which onerous post they filled - the regiment I icing hard pressed hy the Rehels - w ithoul once hreakmg hue.

On August <>. iSoj. as a part of ("ieneral Hank's corps, which was then attached t. > the Army of Virginia under Pojk-. the Seventh participated in the bloody Little of Cedar Mountain, dm hundred out of the three hundred men engage.! I.eing killed or w< muded. Pursued l»V (ieneral Lee. the army retreated towards Washington, and a month of fighting and I d'or iou- marching followed. \t \ut;etani, Septemlier 71I1, the Seventh was present only as a reserve force. About this tune the regiment which had I wen depleted hv disease, kittle, and other causes front one thousand to less than three hundred men. received an addition of two hundred recruits. The winter sawno active service save a slight skirmish with Smart's cavalry.

On May ;th. after a ten days' march, the Seventh was thrown into the hottest of the right at Chauccl'orsviHe. where m the two days' kittle it occupied some of the most exposed [h'sitions and gained great credit for its gallant conduct. With two other regiments it c vered the retreat of the Federal army. Its loss w as fourteen killed and seventy wounded.

At Gettysburg, reached June I, 1 863, after a lahoriotis march, the Seventh acted as a reserve force, and having the protection of hrea <t works during greater part of the kittle, sustained a loss , . t" hut one man killed and seventeen wounded. It was next calle d upm to assist in (juelling the New York draft riots. Afterwards returning to the Rapidan, it hecame a part of the Twentieth Army Corps under Hooker and was ordered 1,. the Western department, which had just been placed under the command of (ieneral dram. It assisted in driving Ib.'igg from Lookout Mount 1111 and pursued the enemy up the sides ol Mission Ridge. At Thompson's (lap. on N'ovcnik-r -',-th while preparing as a pan of deary's brigade. to -to. iiu Taylor's Ridge, where the Reh els had made a stand, the Seventh had the misfortune to l. ^e its gallant commander. Colonel Creighiou. The regiment advanced under a heavy (ire which hecame so tierce that the colonel, finding it impossihlc to advance turned his men into a ravine. As the line approached a fence a rille hall pierced his body and he expired instantly, his only words king. "My dear wife." Lieutenant-Colonel Crane had also fallen and the regiment was compelled to retreat, with a loss of nineteen killed and mxtv ..lie wounded, only one commissioned ofj freer escaping unhurt. Ti e w inter was spent ai liridgejiort. Alakinta, and the regiment engage! I 111 no more fighting until May 3rd. w hen with lilt slight |..s, tliev drove the enemy from Rocky Face Ridge. The veterans' term of service having now expired, the late recruits were consolidated with the Fifth, and accompanied Sherman on his march through Georgia. The regiment was then ordered North and on July Kth was mustered out of the service at Cleveland.

More than one thousand eight hundred men had served with the Seventh during its three years and more of service. It had participated in more than a score of battles, some of them the hottest of the war, and with the exception of akuil sixty new recruits, "only two hundred and forty men remained to bring home the colors riddled with shot and shell."

The Xiiieleenth Regiment of Ohio I 'ohmleer Infantry was formed soon after the Seventh and mustered into the three months' service. Three of the companies - B, C. and G - were mainly from Trumbull and Mahoning counties. At Camp Jackson, near Columbus, to which they were transferred May 27, 1801, under the old militia rules. Samuel Beatty was chosen colonel. Elliott W. I lollingsworth, lieutenant-colonel, and Lewis \\ Buckley, major. After the organization and drill hat! !>ecn perfected, it was united with the Eighth and Tenth to form a brigade, and first saw active service under General Rosecrans at Rich Mountain. West Virginia, on July 7th. receiving the commendations of the commander "for the cool and handsome manner in which it held its [xisitioii against a Hank attack, and for the manner in which it came into line and delivered its fire near the close of the action." Nine companies of (he regiment re-enlisted for the three years' service, and NovemI>er loth it was ordered to Fort Jenkins, near l^ouisville. The w inter was spent in camp at Columbia, the regiment forming a part of the brigade under command of General Boyle. Ik-re the men suffered greatly from an epidemic of typhoid fever. Early in March the Nineteenth set out for Nashville, and marched the l"iig distance with shoes in such condition that the men were almost barefoot. From Nashville thev took steamer for Savannah and there, within hearing of the guns of Shiloh they were transferred to the lx>at which conveyed them to Pittsburgh Landing, which they reached at the end of the first days' lighting. They found the Union troops driven almost to the river, the banks of which were lined w ith thousands of stragglers who were in a state of panic.

I A dreary wet night was spent on the battlefield, and the battle being renewed early the next morning the Nineteenth was ordered into action and fought with courage and 0 olness contributing their full share to the final victory. The regiment lost Major Edwards. l*sides a numlK-r of privates killed and wounded.

During the gradual approach to Corinth under General Halleck. who had practically displaced Grant, the regiment lost Captain F. E. Stowe. of Company G. by disease. Not long after, at Battle Creek. Alabama, to which place the regiment had marched under the command of General Buell. Lieutenant D. \Y. Hildebrank also died of disease. At Crab Orchard the Nineteenth captured a rebel gun. At Murfreeslxiro. January _»nd. the regiment saw

I fierce lighting and did gallant service but at a heavy cost. Out of 449 men who entered the battle 213 were st in killed, wounded or missing, live commissioned officers being among the killed. While in camp near Murfreesboro

I after the battle Lieutenant-Colonel I lollingsworth resigned, his place being tilled by Major Manderson. and Captain H. G. Strattou l>eing made major. The time from the occupation of Murfrecsboro January 4th to June 28th was spent in camp.

In August the Nineteenth crossed the Cumberland mountains, and in September lost two men in a skirmish with the enemy at Crawfish Springs. On the 18th of the same month

; the regiment captured several prisoners and a battery. The kittle of Chickamauga was participated in on the 20th. after which the regiment retreated with the army to Chattanooga. Novcin!>er 2} twenty men were lost at Orchard Knob, and two days later the Nineteenth took part in the unordered and spontaneous but successful storming of Mission Ridge. Then followed the tedious march to Knoxvillc. the men lteing poorly supplied with clothes and hut half shod. On learning that Longs! reef had raised the siege of Knoxville, the army moved to Flat Creek, where over four hundred members of the Nineteenth re-enlisted in the veteran service. After returning to Chattanooga the regiment left for Ohio reaching Cleveland by the 16th of February.

The veterans, who reassembled in camp at Cleveland March 17, reached Knoxville on the 24th, and subsequently participated in the Atlanta campaign. The Nineteenth took part in the battle of Nashville under Thomas, in which Hood's army was completely routed, and was afterwards ordered to Huntsville and Chattanooga, and in July, 1865. to Texas. Mustered out at San Antonia, October 31st. after nearly five years service, the regiment started home, and was finally discharged at Camp Chase. Columbus, on November 22nd.

Twentieth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry - The Twentieth Regiment of Volunteer Infantry was organized in response to the first call for three months* troops in May, 1861. Charles W hittlesey, a graduate of West Point, was colonel, and Manning F. Force lieutenant-colonel. Colonel Whittlesey resigning in April, 1862, Lieutenant-Colonel Force was promoted to colonel and later to brigadier-general. Harrison Wilson was the third colonel of the regiment. First Lieutenant John C. Fry was promoted to captain, and in January, 1864, became colonel of the regiment. The Twentieth conducted itself creditably in its first action at Fort Donelson and was afterwards sent north in charge of prisoners, in which service it became scattered. By the middle of March seven companies were collected <>n the Tennessee river. It participated in the battle of Shiloh with honor and considerable loss, and during the advance on Corinth remained on duty at Fittshurg Landing, suffering considerably from sickness. It was thence transferred to Bolivar. In August, 1802. with two other regiments, it repulsed the rebel general, Armstrong, with thirteen regiments, several of the officer* being promoted for gallantry. Joining General I>>- gan\* division of the Seventeenth army corps in the fall of 1862, it reached Memphis in the following January. In May in an advance on Raymond with the Thirteenth army corps, the regiment suffered a loss of twelve killed and fifteen wounded, being cheered heartily by other regiments far its gallantry. It performed good service in the march through Clinton, Jackson and Champion Hills, and later took an honorable part in the Yicksburg campaign. More than two-thirds of the men re-enlisted in January. 1864, and after a visit home on furlough, rendezvoused at Camp Dennison, May 1st, whence they were ordered to Clifton. Tennessee. On June 20th. it performed dangerous service at Kenesaw Mountain. It took part in the battle of Atlanta, accompanied Sherman to the sea. and after the surrender of Savannah proceeded to Raleigh. Its service was brought to an end by the surrender of Johnston, and after participating in the Grand Review of May 24. at Washington, it was transferred to Louisville, and June 18 returned to Columbus and was mustered out.

Twenty-third Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry. - Company F of this regiment was recruited partly in Mahoning county. Organized at l amp Chase in June. 18O1. with W". S. Rosecrans as colonel, who was succeeded consecutively by F. P. Scammon, R. 15. Hayes (afterwards President), and James N. ("omly, it served through the entire conflict, taking an honorable part in the battles of South Mountain, Antietam. Barryville. North Mountain and Cedar Creek, and was mustered out at Cumberland. July 26, 1S65.

Twenty sixth Regiment, Olii,> Volunteer lufantrx. - Mahoning county contributed one companv - -Company G - to this regiment, which was mustered in in July. 1861, at Camp Chase. For some time it was engaged in scouting duty in the Kanawha valley, where it remained until January. Under Rosecrans it led the advance on Sewell Mountain and guarded the retreat. It was transferred to , the department of the Cuml.-erland and was with General I'.uell in the campaign of 1802, and though participating in no engagements, gamed a high reputation lor order and dis- cipline. It repulsed Forrest at McMinnvillc, and participated in the general engagement at Murfreesboro, December 26, 1862, where, under Major Squires, it made several gallant and successful charges upon the enemy's line. In the fight at Stone river it was one of the few regiments that stood against Bragg's impetuous assault, losing nearly one-third of its number in killed or disabled. At Chickamauga it was in the thickest of the fight, threefifths of all engaged being killed, wounded or captured. Perhaps its most gallant exploit was at Mission Ridge, where it occupied the center of the front line of assault, gaining the summit with the loss of half the command and driving the enemy from their works in precipitous (light, besides capturing fifty prisoners and two cannon. "Later in the day the Twenty-sixth Ohio and the Fifteenth Indiana, under command of Colonel Young, captured a six-gun battery the enemy were attempting to carry off in their retreat, and flanked and dislodged a strong body of the enemy, who, with two heavy guns, were attempting to hold in check the National lorces until their trains could l>e withdrawn. These guns were also captured. In token of their appreciation of Colonel Young's gallantry, his command presented him with a splendid sword."

Almost to a man the regiment re-enlisted in January, 1864, being "the first regiment of the Fourth army corps to re-enlist for the veteran service and the first to arrive home on veteran furlough." It afterwards served through the Atlanta campaign under Sherman, participated in the pursuit of Hood to Nashville, and in the successful battle which followed. It took part in the Texas campaign of 1865, and was mustered out October 21. 1865. It was then transported to Camp Chase, where it was paid off and discharged.

Thirty-sn-enth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry. - This was a German regiment, of which Company I was partially enrolled at Youngstown, and was mustered into the service October 2, 1861, at Camp Dennison. It was commanded by Colonel E. Siber, an accomplished soldier who had served in Prussia and Brazil. It was assigned to the department of West Virginia under kosecrans, and saw some dangerous and laborious service, though without participating in any great battles. In 1863 it was transferred to the department oi the Mississippi, and here took part in the Vicksburg campaign under Grant, during the siege losing nineteen killed and seventy-five wounded. It subsequently participated in the capture of Jackson. Mississippi, pursued the rebel general, Forrest, to Chattanooga, and assisted in the capture of Mission Ridge, November 25. 1863. Three-fourths of the regiment re-enlisted in the veteran service and took part in the Atlanta campaign under Sherman. The Thirty-seventh was mustered out in August, 1865.

Eighty-sixth Ohio Volunteer Infantry. - This was a six months' regiment which followed an early three months' organization of the same name. The colonel was Wilson C. Lemert, who had been major of the threemonths regiment, which had served chiefly in West Virginia. Company A, from Mahoning county, was commanded by Captain Seth H. Tmesdale. The regiment participated in the pursuit of Morgan during the latter's raid through Ohio, and after returning to Camp Tod, was ordered to Kentucky. On September 8th, at Cumberland Gap, with the One Hundred and Twenty-ninth Ohio, the Twenty-second Ohio battery and some detachments of Tennessee cavalry, it captured the command of the rebel general Frazier, taking 2,800 prisoners, 5,000 stand of arms, thirteen pieces of artillery and large quantities of commissary stores and ammunition. It was largely enabled to do this through the appearance of General Burnside's division on the other side of the Gap. The regiment was mustered out at Cleveland, February 10, 1864.

Eighty-seventh Regiment. Ohio Volunteer Infantry. - "This regiment was organized in response to the call of President Lincoln, in May, 1862. for three months' men. H. B. Banning was commissioned colonel. It left for the field June 15, and was stationed at

Harper's Terry, where it remained until the siege of tliat place hy the rebel general. Jacks'm, ami was surrendered with the National forces although the term of its enlistment hail expired, When this circumstance was known the regiment was permitted to return home. It was inn-acred out at ( 'amp Chase September jo, i,s<>_\" Company 1 was partly recruited in Mahoning county.

Jii^iitY-rightli Ohio I 'oltmtivr Infantry. - Company D oi this regiment was enrolled in Mahnniiig county. Its nucleus was the First Battalion, (inventor's Guards. Indei>endent Volunteer Infantry, organized in June. iSOj, and it-, enrollment was not completed until June _'o. 18113. In the meanwhile it did efficient guard service, first over the rebel prisoners at Camp Chase, and afterwards at Covington. Kentucky, to prevent the threatened attack on Cincinnati. Cnder Colonel George \Y. Nel'f the regiment was placed under thorough drill and discipline and was anxious to take the field. There was much disappointment, therefore, among the officers and men that they were given no oppirtunity to participate in active service, beyond guarding Camp Detmison against a p>ssihle attack from John Morgan. After a long monotonous routine of guard duty the regiment was mustered out July 3, 1865.

(hn- Hundred mid I if tit Ki'giim'iil , <>. J'. /. - One Hundred and Fifth was recruited wholiy in the eastern part of the Reserve. Companies A and 11 were from Mahoning county, the former k'ing made up largely of miners."
