number of Logan county soldiers in
its ranks than any other regiment,
during the civil war, excepting the
132d o. N. G. Three companies for
the 45th, were raised in Logan coun-
Ity, to-wit: Capt. Robert Dow's, Capt.
Lewis Taylor's, and Capt. James
Stover's.
The regiment was mustered into
service August 19, 1862, and served in
the Army of the Cumberland, the
Army of Burnside, in East Tennessee,
ana the Army of the Ohio. 1t took
part in the capture of John Morgan
and his force, in the siege of Knox
vile, the Atlanta campaign, and the
campaign against Hood, tincluding
the battles of Franklin and Nash
ville,) under Thomas-some of the
hardest conflicts of the war. Its Sc
verest test was in the battle of
Resacca. in the Atlanta campaign.
Its first Colonel was Ben. p. Runkle,
who remained with the regiment dur
ing only a part of its service.
The reunions of the regiment for
the last two or three years, had been
so badly managed, and the officers
elected had not attended to their
duties, that it was not expected there
would be much of an attendance; but
Comrades S. L. Dow and ID. S. Pool
sent out cards notifying all whose ad-
II a -l he Iar
in attendance proved gratifying
surprise. Forty-one years after their
muster in, they were able, after short
notice, to gather 80 of the old COM
rades, and had a most enjoyable
time.
The following comrades were en-
rolled. the list being considerably
