| One Hundred and Ninety-fifth Infantry. — Col., Joseph
W. Fisher; Lieut.-Col., William L. Bear; Maj., Oliver C. James. The
majority of the recruits for this regiment were obtained in Lancaster
county and were without previous military training. They were mustered
into the U. S. service at Camp Curtin, Harrisburg, July 16 to 24, 1864,
for a term of 100 days. As soon as organized the regiment proceeded to
Baltimore and thence to Monocacy Junction, where it was stationed for
two months guarding the bridge and railway lines. During the last month
of its service it was stationed along the Baltimore & Ohio railroad,
with headquarters at North Mountain Station. Three hundred of the
members reenlisted for a one year's term, and were consolidated into
three companies. The others were mustered out at Harrisburg, Nov. 4,
1864. Seven new companies were recruited in Feb., 1865, by Col. Fisher
and on March 16 the regiment was reorganized at Martinsburg, W. Va., for
a term of one year. Three more companies were temporarily attached to
it. Only one change was made in the field officers; Henry D. Markley
became major in place of Maj. James. It served at Charlestown, Kabletown
and Stevenson's station, Va., until April 22, when it moved to
Berryville, Va., and was employed in preserving order among the people
of the region. On June 6 it moved up the valley as far as Harrisonburg.
While on the way the non-commissioned staff and Cos. A, B and C,
composing the veteran battalion, were mustered out at Summit Point, Va.,
June 21, 1865. The remaining companies proceeded to Washington on Aug.
1, and were employed in guard duty until the date of their final muster
out, Jan. 31, 1866. |
