The Eleventh Ohio Volunteer Regiment
Company K
Killed in action September 17, 1862, at Antietam, Md.
One of 48 men listed on the Monument Square Civil War Memorial in Concord.
"A native of Concord; the son of Nathan M. and Dolly (Hosmer) Wright; was born Jan. 13, [1839], in the house now known as the "Wright house," opposite Warner's factory; spent his boyhood in this town; afterwards lived in Lowell and Cambridge, and kept a shoe store in Lawrence. At the breaking out of the war he was engaged on the Bowling Green Gazette, at Bowling Green, Kentucky, but finding, as he said, that the location was rather hot for a gentleman of strong northern sentiments, he concluded to take time by the forelock and leave, which he just did in time to escape, as the rebel troops took possession of the place immediately. He enlisted in Co. K, 11th Ohio Vols., at Camp Dennison, Ohio, June 19, 1861; was appointed Corporal upon the organization of his company. His service in Western Virginia was very severe. In his leisure moments, however, he found time to exercise his old trade, editing and printing "The Eleventh Ohio," a little camp newspaper. He was killed in the battle of Antietam, Sept. 17, 1862, and was brought home to be buried in Sleepy-Hollow Cemetery." [Concord Town Report, 1882, 95-96.] [Note that the birth date has been corrected above which was probably a type when transcribing the original Town Report]
"There had been a newspaper published in the town [of Point Pleasant, Virginia], but the proprietor departed for the more congenial South before the advent of the Union troops the summer previous. The materials -- type presses &c were all left and soon after we became established in the town, several typo members of the Regiment opened up the office and started a Union paper, which they christened "The Eleventh Ohio." The Editors and Proprietors(?) were Charles H. Wright, H. R. Howard and H. Lanbright. who were assisted by talented and distinguished contributors. members of the Regiment!
After the Regiment (excepting Co. F) left the Point, the paper was continued by E. H. Eyer, who changed the name and devoted its columns exclusively to the interests of that Company."
