ilton S. Gillespie, John E. Cummins, Thomas L. P. Defries;

organized at Camp Dennison, in Aug., 1862, to serve for three
years, with an aggregate of 964 men. On Sept. 1, it moved into
Kentucky for the defense of Cincinnati against Kirby Smith's

killed, 1 mortally wounded and 162 men killed and wounded.
From Feb. until Sept., 1863, it was engaged in building for-
tifications and constructing trestles in Tennessee. In the
spring of 1864 it received orders to join Gen. Sherman's army
at Kingston, Ga., and the next day after its arrival it par-
ticipated in the engagement at that place. From this time
until after the siege of Atlanta the regiment was in line of
battle almost constantly. It shared in all the movements of
the campaign participated in the actions at Dallas, Lost
mountain, Pine mountain and Atlanta, its ranks being fearfully
thinned during the movement. The regiment then moved into Ten-
nessee and skirmished three days at Columbia. It went into the
battle of Franklin with an aggregate of 225 men and came out
with 112. It fell back with the army to Nashville and partici-
pated in the battle at that place, losing several men. The
regiment followed the retreating Confederates as far as Colum-
bia, where it was consolidated with the 99th Ohio infantry, re-
taining its own name. At the time of the consolidation the
regiment numbered only about 100 men. It then was sent over
into the Carolinas and finally was mustered out at Salisbury,
N. C., June 26, 1865.
