William L. Utley. The regiment arrived at Cincinnati on the 18th, crossed the river on the 2'Jd, and encamped south of Covington, in the vicinity of Fort Mitchell. On the 8th of October, it joined the brigade of Gen. Burbridge at Camp Smith, and on the 31st was assigned to the First Brigade, First Division of the Army of Kentucky. From the 13th of November until the 12th of December, the regiment was employed in jirovost guard duty at Nicholasville, on the Kentucky Central Railroad, from which i)lace it moved lo Danville. Diu-ing the stay of the regiment in Nicholasville, several deaths occnu-red, the first reported fi'om Companies C or D. In Company C, the deaths were as follows: William H.

Several of the deaths occurred after the regiment left Danville. Albert Cornue, who had been left sick at Lexington, died January 26, 1863.

On the 26th, the regiment left Danville for Nashville via Louisville. At the latter place, a member of the regiment dared resist an attem})t which was made to take a fugitive fi-om the ranks, and was well siastained by the general sentiment of the regiment. Nashville was reached on the 7th of February, and on the 21st, the forces were ordered to Brentwood Station, nine miles absent, for railroad guard duty, and thence to Franklin, Tenn., on the 2d of March, to re-enforce Gen.

On the 3d of March, the brigade, under Col. C(jburn, was ordered to move to Spring Hill. A jwrtion of the Twenty-second - 363 men - under Col. Utley, formed a part of the command. The enemy was encounterd about fom- miles fi-om Franklin, but fell back after slight resistance. The next morning, on the advance of our forces, the rebels continued to fall back until they reached Thompson's Station, where they were largely re-enforced and made an attack on our troops. After a fight of five hoiu's, the force of Col. Cobm-n was obliged to sui-render. Lieut. Col. Bloodgood, having previously moved to the rear with a portion of the regiment to protect the train, escaped with his command, but the rest of the Twenty-second, imder the immediate command of Col. Utley, after fighting bravely and desperately, were either killed, wounded or taken prisoners, Col. Utley and eleven commissioned officers among the number.

The remainder of the regiment, under command of Lieut. Col. Bloodgood, was attacked by a large force of the enemy near Brentwood Station on the 8th of March. Being completely surrounded, and knowing that resistance was useless, the command was surrendered. The prisoners taken in these engagements were sent South - chiefly to Libby Prison. The officers were exchanged the following May, and the men before very long.

After the exchange of prisoners, the Twenty-second was re-organized at St. Louis, and again went into active sei-vice. On the 3d of July, they went into camp within the fortifications of Murfreesboro. They were employed in provost and guard duty iintil February, 1864, and^ during the spring, were assigned to the Second Brigade, Third Division.

On the 1st of June, they moved to take part in the operations of the Twentieth Corps, at Pine Knob and Lost Mountain. On the 17th, they advanced to near the rebel intrenchments on Kenesaw Mountain; on the 19th and on the 22d, again advanced, being attacked, the latter time before they could fortify their position.

On the 23d, the troojis moved forward to Atlanta, and the regiment was occiipied in constructing defensive works and in siege dutyimtil the 25th of August. Froni that time until the 2d of September, it was stationed near the railroad crossing of the Chattahoochie. After the abandonment of Atlanta by the Confederate forces, the city was surrendered by the INIayor, and the Twenty-second was the first regiment that entered. It remained encamped near the city imtil the march to Savannah, when it was employed as train guard a lai-ge portion of the time. On the 16th of March, the Twenty-second took part in the attack on the rebels at Bentonville, ckiving the enemy before them at that point, and also at Averysboroon the 19th. After the ending of the grand march at Goldsboro, a few days' rest was taken, and after the sui-render of Gen. Johnston, the regiment, with the corps to which it belonged, proceeded to Richmond, thence to Washington, remaining there and participating in the grand review, and thence to Milwaukee, where they were paid and disbanded.

Twenty-Eighth Wisconsin Infantry

Company D: Cajitain - Edward S. Redington, Whitewater; received his commission Sej)- tember 3, 1862; mustered out August 23, 1865. First Lieutenant - Hiram A. Hayes, Whitewater; received his commission September 6, 1862; resigned February 14. 1863. Second Lieu-

Company I: Captain - Horace B. Crandall, Elkhorn; received commission September 8, 1862; resigned October 25, 1862. First Lieutenant Lindsay J. Smith, Troy; received commission September 8, 1862; promoted to Captain June 3, 1863; mustered out August 23, 1865.

The Twenty-eighth Wisconsin Infantry, to which these companies were attached, was organized at Camp ^Vashburn, Milwaukee, under the su[)erintendence of Col. James M. Lewis, of Oeonomowoc, and was mustered into service October 14, 1862. Their tir.st experience in the art of war was within the boundaries of their own State, they being sent to Port ^\'ashingtou, Ozaukee County, to quell the di'aft rioters in that rebellious little village.

On the 2()th of December, 1862, they left the State for Columbus. Ky., arriving on the 22d, and remaining, with the exception of one expedition to L'nion City, until January 5, 1863. On the 5th, they were ordered to Helena, Ark., and on the 11th, embarked at that place on transjiorts to aceomjiany the White River expedition.

At St. Charles, Ai-k., iC)0 miles fi-om the mouth of the AVhite River, the regiment, with a small support, under command of Col. Lewis, were left to hold the post, while the remainder of the fleet jiroceeded further uj) the river. On the return of the fleet, the Twenty-eighth joined the forces and returned to Helena, remaining in that place until the 24th of February.

At Helena, the Yazoo Pass expedition was fitted out, of which the Twenty-eighth Wisconsin formed a part. After s])ending Ave days in penetrating the pass, they arrived at what was termed "' Curtis' Plantation." At this point, the Tallahatchie and Yazoo approach very nearly, and on the intervening space the enemy had constructed a fort, called Fort Pemberton, which commanded both rivers. Obstructions were placed in the river to prevent the passage of the gunboats. The Twenty-eighth was sent on shore to supjiort an Indiana regiment, which had been sent out to reeoinuoiter, and found itself in range of the guns of both friend and enemy. They were able to accomjdish nothing, as the gunboats were uiuible to silence the guns of the fort, and the ex])edition was abandoned. After retui-ning uj) the river. Gen. Ross was re-enforced liy a fleet under Gen. Quimby, and a second attempt made to subdue Port Pemlierton. It was as fruitless as the lirst. On these expeditions, the regiment suffered severely from exjiosure, and the malarious diseases contracted in the swampy regions of the Tallhhatchie and Yazoo. On the White River expedition, they experienced severe snow-storms, and on the Yazoo, heavy and long- continued rains. On the 27th the regiment, with a support of ionr companies of cavalry and a section of artillery, was detached to McNutt,Miss., under command of Col. Lewis, where they captiu-ed several prisoners, destroyed a quantity of Confederate stores, and returned without loss.

On the 8th of A])ril, the regiment arrived at Helena, and remained encamped at that place nearly all the month. During June, with the other forces at Helena, under Brig. Gen. Solomon, the troojis were employed in fortifying the town, and, on the morning of the 4th of July, the rebels, alwut tifteen thousand strong, under Gen. Holmes, made their appearance on the hills which surround the town. The Twenty-eighth was assigned to the duty of sui)porting Battery B. The enemy was repulsed after a fight of five hom-s, with a loss of 400 killed and 800 jirisoners. There was but one casvialty reported in the Walworth companies - Andrew Vellum, of Company E, was killed.

The first deaths that occurred after the comjianies left home were in Milwaukee. Donald Henderson, of Company D, died December 1, 1862, and James A. Hodge, of the same company, died December 9, 1862. The regiment was then at Camj) Washburn. From that time, no deaths appear in *.he official report until late in the winter, and daring tlie sj)ring of 1803, when the unhealthy climate of Mississippi and Arkansas told heavily on the health of the Northern soldiers. The first death reported from the companies after they left Milwaukee was that of Hiram I. Welch, of Company E. who died February 6, 1863, at Helena. The next was Second Lieut. James M. Mead, of Company D, at Helena, February 13, 1863. On the same day and at the same place died Lyman D. Smith, of Company E.

Lewis had command of the Second Brigade, and Col. Gray had command of the regiment. Little Rock was reached the 10th of Sei)tember, and occupied until the 26th of October, the remainder of the month being spent in a fruitless pursuit of Mannaduke's forces.

Fortieth Wisconsin Infantry

The Fortieth Infantry, to which this company was assigned, was a portion of the "100-days" troops which were furnished by the State toward the end of the war. The official report of the regiment is so brief that it is quoted entire:

" The Fortieth left Camp Randall on the 14th of June. and. moving liy rail to Alton. 111., proceeded thence by steamer down the Mississippi, landing on the lUth at Memphis, Teun., where they were assigned to the Second Brigade. District of Memphis.

" The regiments were placed in camp within the fortifications, and employed principally in garrison, picket and railroad guard duty. partici])ating in occasional skirmishes on the picket line. On the morning of the 21st of August, the rebel Gen. Forrest, with a force of about live thousand cavalry, made a dash upon the city at daylight, and succeeded at one point in passing through the lines. Oiu- regiments were promptly huiried to the fi'ont, and, the action which ensued, behaved with gallantry, sustaining slight loss. The rebels soon retired, with a few prisoners whom they had captm-ed, and, after a mai-ch of two miles, our troops returned in the afternoon to camp."

The term of service of the Fortieth expired in the beginning of September, and on the 14th, it arrived in Wisconsin, and was soon afterward mustered out of United States service at Camp Randall.

The deaths reported in Company F were as follows: Corp. David N. Moody, at Memphis, July 24, 1864; Private Hemy J. Small, at Memphis, July 9, 1864.

Forty-Ninth Wisconsin Infantry

Company K was recruited diu-ing the last year of the war. remaining in the United States service eight months - from March until November, 1865. Its officers were:

" The Forty-ninth Regiment, recruited and organized under the direction of Col. Samuel Fallows, left Camp Randall on the 8th of March, l8()5, arriving on the same night at Chicago, 111. Leaving Chicago at daylight on the 9th. they reached Bloomiugton in the evening. Half the regiment having been compelled to ride without fire, on platform ears, they remained during the night at Bloomington to allow the men to get warm, and. resuming their jom-ney next morning, reached St. Louis late in the evening, and were assigned to Benton Barracks, near the city.

" The regiment left Benton Barracks on the morning of the 18th of March, and, proceeding by way of the Southern Pacific Railroad, reached Rolla, Mo., late in the evening and encamped half a mile h'om the town. Next day. Company B was ordered to St. Jf^mes, ten miles east on the railroad, and Company K moved to Fort Wyman, an earthwork one milesoiathof the town."

On the 17th of August, the regiment was ordered from the vicinity of Rolla to St. Loiiis, where it arrived on the ItJth. Several of the conijianies were mustered out at that place on the 1st of November, and the remainder, including Company K, on the 8th, arriving at Madison to be paid and disbanded on the 10th of November, 1865. The deaths that occurred in Company K were reported as follows:

Tkoops And Monet Furnished

No county in the State responded to the constantly recurring calls for troops with more promptness than Walworth, and in none was the ])roportion of vohmteers to drafted men larger. Few of those drafted went unwillingly to the field, as substitutes were furnished for all such as, from any circumstances (such as families dependent on them for support, or other good cause) were unable to enter the service. For svich as volunteered, their dependent families were provided for during their absence. The amount of money raised by the several towns for war jiurjioses was as follows :

The number of citizens subject to military duty at the beginning of the war was 3,196. From that number were fiu-nished during the war 1,625. Not all were drawn jiersonally from the resident pojnilation, but the quota reepiired was forthcoming. Either the boys went, or the money was fiu-nished for a substitute. It is believed that over the required number did personal service, but as many enlisted at Milwaukee, and at recruiting points outside the county, their names do not appear in the records of W^alworth County soldiers. It is to be regi-etted that local records were not kept, from which to enroll the list of Walworth County soldiers. Perhaps it may yet be done from the town records. The following table shows the enrollment in October, 1862. The succeeding table shows better than jiages of print how well Walwoi-th County responded to the call of the country for help:

The whole quota of the county, under all requisitions from the Government, was 1,606. The whole number of soldiers furnished was 1,625 - an excess of 19.
