Overview
The 109th Ohio Infantry (Infantry) was an incomplete Union regiment organized in Ohio during the Civil War. The unit was intended to serve as an infantry regiment for the Union Army, but it did not complete its organization and did not see active field service as a distinct regiment.
This regiment was raised in Ohio and was part of the Union infantry branch. Its organization was attempted during the later years of the war, but it was never fully mustered into service as a separate unit.
Organization & Service
The 109th Ohio Infantry (Infantry) began organizing in Ohio, with the intention of joining the Union Army. However, the regiment failed to complete its organization. The men who had enlisted for the 109th were subsequently transferred to the 113th Ohio Infantry, where they continued their service. As a result, the 109th Ohio Infantry did not participate in any campaigns or battles as a distinct regiment, nor did it have a separate regimental history beyond its initial organization attempt.
