115th Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry.
- Three Years Service -
This Regiment was organized in the Counties of Portage, Stark, and Columbiana, Ohio in August and September, 1862, to serve three years. It was ordered to Cincinnati, 0., and on the 9th of October was divided - five companies left at Cincinnati, where they acted as provost guard, and five companies sent to Columbus, 0., to perform guard duty.
In October, 1862, the Battalion sent to Columbus was ordered to Maysville, Ky., and in December to Covington, where it performed provost duty until October, 1863. It was then ordered to report at Chattanooga, Tenn., and from there sent to Murfreesboro, where a part of the Regiment was mounted and sent out against Rebel Guerrillas. *In June, 1864, that part of the Regiment not mounted was stationed on the line of the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, in block-houses, to prevent the Rebels from destroying it. While engaged in this service the Regiment had an engagement with Wheeler's forces at Lavergne, Tenn., August 31 and September 1, 1864. *In the early part of December, 1864, nearly two hundred members of the Regiment, who were stationed in block-houses, were captured, and after being paroled were placed on the ill-fated Steamer Sultana, which exploded on the Mississippi River, near Memphis, Tenn., April 27, 1865. The Regiment was engaged in the battle of the Cedars, near Murfreesboro, Tenn., December 5, 6, and 7, 1864.
The detachment stationed at Cincinnati in 1862-63 was engaged in guarding prisoners and forwarding convalescent soldiers to their respective Regiments. In July, 1863, it was called out for five or six days in pursuit of General Morgan, then on his raid through Ohio. In October it was sent to the front, and was assigned to the Fourth Division, Twentieth Army Corps. The Regiment was mustered out of service June 22, 1865, in accordance with orders from the War Department.
