Entered service Nov. 15, 1861, age 19.
Killed Nov. 24, 1863, in battle of Lookout Mountain, Tenn.
-Ohio Roster Roll of Honor
This grave is among those of men who were killed at Lookout Mountain, Tenn., Nov. 24, 1863. This is likely:
Irvin J Smith, Co K 40th Ohio who was killed at the battle of Lookout Mt on Nov. 24 1863. His name is not in the VA grave locator. The Ohio Roster Roll of Honor does not list a grave number.
This grave is between Michael Bowers of the 9th Indiana and E H Rich of the 96th Illinois. All three of these men were in regiments that were part of the 1st Division, 4th Army Corps, at the time of the battle of Lookout Mountain.
No. 17. Report of Got. Jacob F. Taylor, Fortieth Ohio Infantry. HDQRS. FORTIETH REGT. OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY, Camp near Ringgold, Ga., November 30, 1863.
LIEUTENANT: I have the honor to report that, in compliance with General Orders, No. 12, Second Brigade, First Division, Fourth Army Corps, Army of the Cumberland, the Fortieth Ohio Volunteer Infantry left Shellmound with the balance of the brigade on the 23d instant for the front, marching until late in the evening, when it encamped for the night near Lookout Mountain. Early in the morning of the 24th, the line of march was again taken up, crossing a creek at the foot of Lookout and (continuing - up the slope of the mountain, where three lines of battle were formed, the Fortieth Ohio first), from the left of General Whitaker's brigade, which formed the second line.
About 12 m. an advance was ordered. After advancing half a mile, slight skirmishing commenced with the first line, which gradually increased as the line moved forward until the firing became general, when General Whitaker, who was then in the line with his brigade, ordered a charge, which was successfully obeyed, and after driving the enemy several hundred yards and into his camp, the Fortieth passed the front line, the men of the latter remarking as the Fortieth passed "Here comes fresh troops to relieve us;" "Go it, boys, we have chased them up for you; pour it into them; give them hell."
The Fortieth now being in advance continued the charge, routing the enemy in confusion from every point for more than a half mile, scaling his ditches and stone barricades about the white house, where two pieces of artillery and over 3OO picks and spades were captured. The pursuit was continued over walls and ditches until the enemy were met in such numbers as to compel the regiment to fall back to a stone wall for protection, which it successfully held until relieved by fresh troops.
While directing the men in this last position, the gallant Major Acton fell, instantly killed by a musket shot through the breast. Also the brave Richard Beetle, corporal Company D, who so nobly carried the colors through the charge, was killed. Effective strength of regiment before the engagement was 16 officers and 333 enlisted men. Casualties, 1 officer and 11 men killed, 1 officer and 15 men wounded, 2 men missing...

The losses in our regiment were eleven killed, viz: Major Thos. Acton, Jacob Long and Nelson Glaze, Company "A;" James W. Scroggy, Company "B;" Richard Evans and George Kenzla, Company "C;" Creighton Allen, Richard Beetle, Edward Goodlandar, and William Emmett Bigelow, Company "D," and Irvine Smith, Company "K," and fifteen wounded. Among the latter was private Wylie Church, Company "I," who died in hospital at Bridgeport, a few weeks later, and Sergeant Daniel Collett. Company "B," who died from his wound some months later. -from "History of the Fortieth Ohio Volunteer Infantry" By John N. Beach.
