      " My great grandfather, Frederick Walters, served in Company H, 13th Regiment of the Ohio Voluntary Cavalry. I have obtained copies of his service records, and pension records, which I shall send later. He was a young private, perhaps 21 years of age. His given name was actually Frederick Walter, but we have seen the “s” added by accident, even by family members. The Army records call him Walters.
      "His records show that he was wounded with a shot to the side and he later claimed a grazing shot to the head, the same day as the fall of Petersburg.
      "One wonders whether there exist any photographs. He appears to have lived in Waverly, where his parents are laid to rest. I surmise that is the region of the other enlistments.
      "His other great-grandson, my younger brother Francis, serves today as an Army officer in Iraq."

      "Durbin Ward was the first man in the county to sign an enrollment paper for troops in the civil war. When the President's proclamation reached Lebanon, he was trying a case at the court house. He hastily drew up a paper containing something like the following: "We, the undersigned, hereby tender our services to the President of the United States to protect our national flag." He signed it, and proceeded with his case. It was soon signed by Milton B. Graham. Only one or two other names were obtained until after the war meeting at Washington Hall, on the evening of April 16. Gen. Ward went into the army as a private, declining a captaincy. He came out a Brigadier General. He was a Democrat, and a decided opponent of the election of Lincoln, yet, when the national flag was fired upon, he at once offered his services to support an administration whose elevaton to power he had opposed. His example and influence did much to unite all parties in the support of armed measures for the suppression of the rebellion." Beers History of Warren County page 787
      "When the war of the rebellion broke out, he was, as is claimed for him, the first man in his Congressional District to volunteer; declining a captaincy, he enlisted as a private. He was a Major of the 17th Ohio, and took part in the battles of Spring Mills, Corinth, Perryville, Stone River, Hoover's Gap and Chickamauga; at the last-named fight, he was shot through the body, and his left arm was disabled for life, and he carried it in a sling through the Atlanta Campaign. Having passed through the grades of Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel, in November, 1865, he was brevetted Brigadier General, " for gallant and meritorious conduct at the battle of Chickamauga.""

He was promoted to Second-Lieutenant in September of 1862 and First-Lieutenant in January of 1863. He was wounded at Frankfort, Lexington & again at Chickamauga where he was taken prisoner on September 20, 1863 and for eighteen months suffered all the hardships of prison life at Libby, Va., Macon, Ga., Charleston and Columbia (Camp Sorghum), S. C., and Salisbury, N. C., where he was exchanged, via Wilmington, N. C., by order of the Secretary of War. receiving his final discharge in July of 1865. While a prisoner, during the summer of 1864, he was promoted to Captain and at the close of the War he was a Major, commanding his regiment."
    • 20 April 2011 Patrick Tobias email:
      "I too have been searching for his Ohio records but have also come up empty, all the information I have has come from newspaper articles published after his death. Dominick Welter was born in Echternach, Luxembourg on 8 Nov 1839, he arrived in the United States on 26 May 1851 and settled in Tiffin, Ohio with his brother. On 5 Oct 1855, at just 15 years old he enlisted as a private in the 7th United States Infantry in which he got to see much of the pacific northwest, he deserted 17 May 1857. He was living in San Francisco in 1861 when the war broke out but finding that no soldiers were being recruited from San Francisco he went back home to Tiffin and enlisted. During the war he was known for his courage. After his discharge in 1865 he went back home to Tiffin, he then settled permanently in Chicago in 1870. In 1877 during the Railroad Riots Major Welter was called back into service commanding Company A of the Calvary of the Illinois National Guard, later he was promoted to Colonel and given command of the entire First Calvary Regiment of the Illinois National Guard. Because of his skills as a soldier he was made the first ever Secretary & Chief Inspector of the Chicago Police Department in November of 1882 and ran the department until his death on 8 Jul 1885, he suffered a heart attack while drilling 300 new police recruits, he decided to take a short rest at his sisters home in Tiffin but died a few days after arriving. Nearly 5,000 Soldiers, Policemen & City Officials walked in his funeral procession. He was married twice, had 3 children and is buried in St. Boniface Cemetery in Chicago. I have attached a Sketch of Dominick Welter that came from one of his obituaries as well as a picture of his Tombstone [+ close-up]and a few articles. "

      Henry Runyan, guardian, filed for a minor's pension (Application #202566, Certificate #158841)
    • 9 Dec 2010 Michael Ford email:
      "When I visited the Warren County Genealogical Society in Lebanon back in September, I accidently happened upon an entry on page 1277 of the Cemetery Records of Clinton County, Ohio for Eli M Williams. It had a familiar ring to it & sure enough it solved one of the mysteries in my family tree.
      Eli M Williams enlisted in the company band of the 12th Infantry Regiment Indiana on 23 October 1861. At that time the regiment was in Williamston, Virginia (now West Virginia) as far as I can tell. He died on 13 Apr 1862 at Warrenton Junction in Fauquier County, Virginia.
      I have been unable to locate Eli in the 1850 census or to identify his parentage.
      On 8 July 1860 he married Jerusha Jane Ford in Warren County.
      On 9 August 1860 he is shown in the census record as living with his wife in Salem Township on the farm of his wife's parents. His occupation is shown as a carpenter.
      On 5 August 1861 a son, James Houston Williams was born to Eli & Jerusha in Harlan Township. (James Houston died 23 Jun 1896 & is buried in West Woodville Cemetery.)
      Following Eli's death Jerusha did file for pension benefits & a Henry Runyan also apparently filed for benefits for James Houston Williams as a guardian.
      There is a guardianship listed under Court Records in 1871 for Eli Williams which I have not obtained but may explain the role of Henry Runyan.
      Jerusha Jane Ford Williams remarried another Civil War Veteran John S White in Warren County on 11 October 1870 which may be a factor in the guardianship as well."

      "The war spirit was soon aroused throughout the county. The national flag was run up on the court house, and was seen floating from stores, workshops and residences. The whole country was filled with the noise and excitement of military preparation. Three companies from the county were soon raised, commanded respectively by Capt. Rigdon Williams, of Lebanon; Capt. John Kell, of Franklin; and Capt. J. D. Wallace, of Morrow. The sight of real soldiers was new to most of the people, and the marching to camp of a company for the three-months' service made more ado than afterward the departure of a regiment who left their homes for three years or during the war. Capt. Williams' company, on Tuesday, April 23, marched from Lebanon to the railroad, intending to take their departure for Camp Jackson at Columbus. Stores and shops were closed, and the people turned out to bid the soldiers adieu. The procession of soldiers and citizens on the road from Lebanon to Deerfield was nearly a mile in length. At the railroad station, the Captain received a dispatch that Camp Jackson was full, and the company returned to Lebanon and encamped at the fair-grounds. The company was mustered into the service of the United States for three months, at Columbus, on May 5; was re-organized and mustered into service for three years at Camp Dennison on the 19th of June, as Company F, Twelfth Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry"

      “ . . . He was a son of old Major William, and was a slight, beardless fellow, almost a boy, when he was elected captain. He was wounded in the back in an engagement at Cloyd Mountain, in West Virginia, and he carried the bullet in his body until after the war. He was then appointed clerk in the War Department but wanted the bullet taken out of him, and came to Lebanon to have it removed. The operation was performed in Dr. McCowen’s – now Henry Reed’s – drug store, and proved fatal, for he returned to Washington only to die.”

      "Col. Thomas Worthington has long lived the life of a recluse on the west side of the Little Miami, in this township. He is a son of Gov. Thomas Worthington, graduated at West Point in 1827, and served in the Mexican War. In 1861 he publish      ed a work on military tactics. Early in the civil war he raised a company, and was afterwards commissioned Colonel of the 46th Ohio. At the battle of Shiloh he commanded this regiment. Col. Worthington has published a history of the battle of Shiloh, and many pamphlets in which he claims that his regiment was, without notice, transferred from the center to the extreme right of the Union line, far detached from the main army; that its right being suddenly threatened, the 46th, by a prompt change of front, attacked and repelled a superior flanking force, till ordered back about 2 P. M., April 6, thus holding the extreme right of the line long enough to make advancing aid available; that this regiment, being a part of Gen. Sherman's division, that officer obtained credit for this service, to which has been imputed the rescue of the Union army from imminent destruction, and to this service is due Gen. Sherman's past promotion and present position. A few months after the battle of Shiloh, Col. Worthington was tried by a court martial on several charges, one of which was the publication of extracts from his diary, containing false and libelous matter, designed to injure his superior officers, Col. McDowell, Gen. Grant and Gen. Sherman. The result of the trial was his dismissal from the service; but the sentence of the court was afterwards declared null and void by the Judge Advocate General, and he received an honorable discharge from the service. In many pamphlets published by Col. Worthington, he has charged Gen. Grant and Gen. Sherman with falsehood, negligence and mismanagement. Being in reduced circumstances, Congress, recently, notwithstanding his repeated attacks on men who stood high in the confidence of the nation, passed a special act granting him a pension."

      "David Wright, a member of Company C, 50th Ohio regiment, died at the Billmire House on Monday last. The deceased came to this place one day last week, and said he was on his way to Dayton, to find his friends. Some of our citizens discovered that he was sick and unable to travel, and took him to the Billmire House, where every attention was paid him. He was an entire stranger in this place. The Cincinnati Commercial says he was well known in that city. He could not give any direct information of his friends. His funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon at the Congregational Church; the different ministers of Lebanon officiated. His remains were followed to the grave by a large number of citizens. He was buried with honors of war."

He was commissioned as Captain in the 100th U. S. C.

He went into the country, seized stock from the enemy, and mounted these companies, which performed services as mounted infantry until the battle of Nashville, in which he commanded his company during the two days' fight, and was again seriously wounded about the close of the battle. After recovering from the wound, he was detailed as a member of the military commission in the department of the Cumberland, and there remained about three months, when he again assumed command of his company, with which be continued until the close of the war, when he returned to Lebanon, which has since been his home."
