A company was organized at Plain City , during the summer of 1812 or 1813, of which Jonathan Alder was elected Captain and Frederick Loyd First Lieuteuant. They were directed to march north toward the lakes about twenty miles beyond the settlememts of Darby, and erect a block-house for the protection of the settlements. They marched to the banks of Mill Creek, and after working three or four days a block-house was completed. Mr. Alder says: ;i There were seventy in all, and one, Daniel Watkins was made Colonel and Commander in Chief.

Mr. Alder, who had been a captive among the Indians for fifteen years and well knew their mode of warfare, condemned this as a very unwise move in the Governor to order so many men from the settlements, for he claimed the tactics of the Indians would be to attack the women and children in the settlements and avoid the fort. They only remained at the block-house a few weeks. There being a false
alarm, it was not possible to keep the men from returning to the settlements. This block-house was situated on the west bank of Mill Creek, about three miles northwest from Marysville on the farm now owned by Edward Powers. Some of the stones used either for the foundation or to strengthen the walls of the block-house may 3ret be seen directly east from Mr. Powers' house, a few rods from the banks of the creek.

Thomas Killgore, who died at the residence of his son, Simeon Killgore, in Mill Creek Township, a few years ago, was a member of the company that erected this fort, and was the last one left of the company; a short time before his death, he gave a detailed account of this campaign and the building of the block-house, which was transmitted by Judge Cole to the Pioneer Association of Union County. So far as can be learned, this is the only fort ever erected within the borders of this county, and this is probably known to but few of our citizens. Of the company that erected this block-house, it lias not been possible to learn the names of any except those already mentioned.

A number of the young men in the settlements enlisted in companies outside of the county, and saw hard service during the war. Simon Shover. who lived on Darby, near the old Sager Mill, in Jerome Township , enlisted in and was Orderly Sergeant of Capt. Langham's company, of Chillicothe , Ohio . He was a brave and gallant soldier, and had many hair-breadth escapes. At one time, he was taken prisoner by the Indians, and saved his life by imitating a rooster crowing, by jumping up on logs or stumps, and flapping his anus and hands. This seemed to please the Indians very much, as they laughed immoderately at his antics. Simon always claimed that this saved his life. He was taken prisoner at Winchester's defeat, and often expressed his indignation at the treatment of Gen. Winchester, who was abused and insulted by the Indians, without any check from the British. Simon Shover was one of fifty picked men, who made a sortie from
Fort Erie, and spiked the guns of the British during the night: and was. perhaps, the most distinguished soldier that went from the county. He was of a good family, and honorable and brave to a fault. He learned many of the traits of the Indians, and was accustomed to entertain large crowds of citizens at all kinds of gatherings, such as "log rollings," "husking bees/' house and barn raisings," and " musters/' with many interesting incidents of his adventures, both thrilling and ludicrous. In later years, he became dissipated, squandered his property, and
led a wandering life, trusting to the charity of the old friends of his better days. Wherever " crowds were wont to assemble/' Simon could always be counted as one of the number, and furnished much amusement by giving the " Indian war whoop " for a sixpence to buy a dram.

His voice was as clear and shrill as a trumpet, and he could give a genuine war whoop that would have caused old Tecumseh to have  marshaled his warriors for the^field. Many anecdotes might be related of his efforts to amuse the crowd during court term, and on "training day." One of his feats was to ride "Old Peach Blossom," his favorite mare, up the stairway and into the court-room of the old court house that now stands on the square at Marysville. He was anxious to live a hundred years, and on meeting or parting with old friends he was
wont to exclaim—"Hurrah for a hundred years !" A few years before his death, he was cast upon the charity of the county. He died on the 11th day of August, 18fi4, aged seventy-nine years, and was buried on the Infirmary farm. He lies in an humble grave, "unhonored and unsung." 3*et he is remembered by his old friends as brave, honest and upright Simon Shover.   " Peace to his ashes."

Another quite noted character that resided for many years prior to his death in Darby Township , was Thomas Anderson. He was in the naval service, and was on the flag-ship Lawrence at "Perry's Victory" on Lake Erie , September 10, 1813. And when the Lawrence was disabled by the guns of the enemy, Anderson was one of the crew that rowed Commodore Perry in an open boat safely through that storm of shot and shell to the Niagara , although the boat was completely riddled with balls in the passage. In the great historic painting now hanging in the rotunda of the State House at Columbus , Anderson is represented in the open boat with Perry, a handkerchief bound about his head, pulling for life to reach the Niagara . Anderson was in many hard engagements, and many of the citizens of the southern part of the county remember the thrilling incidents of his adventures, as related by "Tommy," as he was familiarly called. He died at the Union County Infirmary, December 30, 1863, aged ninety years, and was buried in the county burial grounds on the Infirmary farm. Benson Wilmoth. for many years a citizen of the county, did good service during the war of 1812. At the time of the siege of Fort Eric , in August, 1814, he was in the fort under command of Gen. Gaines, and while in the line of duty, manning a gun, a shot from the guns of the British dismantled one of the guns
of the fort, throwing it against Wilmoth and breaking his leg. On this injury he drew a pension during the later years of his life. He died about the year 1860, and was buried in the old cemeterv at Marysville.

The territory now comprising the county of Union was but thinly populated in 1812, yet many of her citizens left their homes in response to the call to arms with the full knowledge that their women and children were at the mercy of the Indians prowling along the northwestern border, and not a few of them rendered good service to the Government in her hour of need. Ever may our citizens hold in grateful remembrance the services of the patriotic veterans of Union County in the war of 1812.

" The brave old soldier ne'er despise,
Nor count him as a stranger;
For he's his country's stay and pride
In day and hour of danger."

On the 4th day of October, 1S59, the old soldiers of the war of 1812, of Union and surrounding counties, met in convention at Marysville for the purpose of memorializing Congress upon the subject of the pension bill and other business appertaining to their rights. At this meeting the following officers were appointed :

Gen. E. W. Benson, President; Dr. R. P. Mann. Everett McDowell, Ferrel Baker and Daniel Breese, Vice Presidents; A. T. Turner. Secretary, and S. Mc-Bratney. Assistant Secretary.

The committee on resolutions—Dr. R. P. Maun, Col. J. W. B. Haynes and Hon. William Richey—reported the following, which were unanimously adopted :

•; Resolved, That the first duty of a Republic is justice, as well as gratitude toward her gallant defenders in the hour of danger.

"Resolved. That the land we have already obtained came too late to be of service to us, as we were too old to improve it and use it for our maintenance.
Had we obtained it as promptly as it was donated to the soldiers of the Mexican war, we might now be enjoying comfortable homes in our old age and decrepitude, and not be dependent, as many of us are, upon the cold charities of the world or the kindness of friends for our lease of life.

" Resolved, That it is the duty of Congress to amend the Pension Laws, so that those who served in the war of 1812 and their widows or minor children shall be entitled to a pension, the same as those who served in the Revolutionary war, and that where any of our comrades have been killed in action, or died without receiving land, the nation owes to their heirs, without regard to age, if there be no widow, 160 acres of land.

" Resolved, That we tender our thanks to the citizens of Marysville for the kind manner in which they have received us; to the musicians, who have volunteered to bring back to us reminiscences of times that tried our souls ; and particularly to the ladies, who have honored us with their presence.

" Resolved, That the proceedings of this convention be published in the Marysville Tribune and Union Press, and that the press throughout the West friendly to the cause, copy the same ; and that we thank cordially the two newspapers of this county for the call of this meeting.

" Resolved, That it is the duty of Congress to amend the Pension Laws, so that those who served in the war of 1812 and their widows or minor children shall be entitled to a pension, the same as those who served in the Revolutionary war, and that where any of our comrades have been killed in action, or died without receiving land, the nation owes to their heirs, without regard to age, if there be no widow, 160 acres of land.

" Resolved, That we tender our thanks to the citizens of Marysville for the kind manner in which they have received us ; to the musicians, who have volunteered to bring back to us reminiscences of times that tried our souls ; and particularly to the ladies, who have honored us with their presence.

" Resolved, That the proceedings of this convention be published iu the Marysville Tribune and Union Press, and that the press throughout the West friendly to the cause, copy the same ; and that we thank cordially the two newspapers of this county for the call of this meeting.

" Resolved, That the Member of Congress from this, the Eighth Congressional District of Ohio, Hon. B. Stanton, in advocating and voting for the bill to grant pensions to the soldiers of the war of 1812, has the thanks of all the members of this meeting, and we say unto him, continue to do right and it shall be well with you."

At this meeting, over seventy old soldiers answered to the roll-call, fifty-five of whom were residents of Union County .

On the l5th of August, l860, a second convention was held at Marysville by the old soldiers of the war of 1S12, and Indian wars, for the purpose of again consulting together upon the best method of securing a pension for those who laid the foundation for the State and nation.

Col. J. B. W. Haynes presided at this meeting, at which resolutions similar to those offered at the former meeting, with the following additions, were adopted:

Resolved, That we will vote for no man for President, Vice President, Cougress or the Legislature who is opposed to justice to the old soldiers of 1812 and Indian wars, their widows and orphans.

Resolved, That the defense of all free institutions rests mainly on the volunteers and militia.   Therefore, it is the duty of the people to rescue the Government from the hands of those who are opening the despotisms of Europe by an annual expenditure of $30,000,000 in times of peace and a useless standing army, which have been in all countries the instruments of tyranny and oppression.

 Resolved, That this Government was established as a beacon light to the friends of liberty in every land. It is the duty of the people to elect servants to all offices who are earnestly and thoroughly imbued with the principles of justice to the volunteers and militia and who will discourage standing armies."

There were seventy of the old soldiers from this county present at this convention.

The Old Militia.

THE first law passed in Ohio in regard to military matters was a   law for •regulating and establishing the militia," published at Marietta , July 25, 1788 (Chase, Vol. I, page 92).

This law required all " male inhabitants between the age of sixteen and fifty" to perform military duty.   The main features of this law remained in force until the year 1847, when it was repealed. In fact the law became a mere farce in the matters of carrying into effect its requirements.

The earliest account of a militia organization is found in a report of the Second Ohio Regiment of Militia made by Col. James Curry in 1803, of which the following is a copy: 

Return of the Second Regiment of Militia in the County of Highland , commanded by Lieutenant Colonel James Curry, agreeably to returns made by the commanding officers of the several companies belonging to the said regiment, November, 1803.

Officers—1 Lieutenant Colonel Commandant, 1 Major of First Battalion, 1 Major of Second Battalion.

Staff Officers—I Adjutant, 1 Paymaster, 1 Quartermaster, 1 Regimental Clerk, 1 Quartermaster Sergeant, 1 Sergeant Major.

Commissioned Officers—Captains 8, Lieutenants 8, Ensigns 8.

Non- Commissioned Officers—Sergeants 25, Corporals 12, Drummers 4, Fifers 4, Rank and File 610.

Arms and Accouterments—Swords and belts 13, rifles. 265, flints, 530. The troops have generally powder and lead—the quantity not exactly ascertained perhaps equal to what is required by law. James Curry. Lieutenant Colonel Commandant, Second Ohio Regiment.

After the close of the war of 1812. military matters in Union County seemed to have been very quiet for a number of years, at least little can be learned of the military affairs of that period, as the ;' old guards " have all been mustered out. leaving no record of their service.

From the year 1825 to 1846, the militia spirit was in a blaze of glory throughout the State. There were two laws under which the militia was organized. The old " corn-stalk militia," who were not required to uniform, and the companies and regiments that furnished their own uniforms and served for seven years, after which time they were exempt from drill. Several companies organized in the county under this law. were well uniformed and armed and became quite efficient in drill.

A light horse company was organized at Milford about the year 1830, of which Calvin Winget was the first Captain, James Riddle the second, Jacob Seaman the third, C. P. Garlic the fourth, Philip Snider the fifth and J. B. Richey the sixth.

Privates—David Anderson, Jonathan Allen, David Asher, Hollis Amy, James Boal, William Beard, Andrew Beard, Perry Buck, James Biggs, Henry L. Burns,Ralph Cheny, Robert Curry, William Cratty. Uriah Coolidge. Ai Coolidge, Samuel D. Chapman. James W. Evans, Joseph Gibson. Andrew M. Gill, Jacob Gibson, B. H. B. Griswold, Luther Gabriel, John Hibbard, Samuel Hale, John Hale, Solon Harrington, Amza Irwin, Silas Igo. Robert Johnson, Joel Jolly, Elias Jolly, Othias Kennedy, James Kennedy,"Micha Kent . Hiram Kent , Dyer Lombard, Jesse Lombard, Ray G. Morse, John Mitchell. John Morrow, Henry Moodie, George Moodie, William Morse, Isaac Morse, Moses Mitchell. William Moore, James McDonald, Samuel McCampbell. William G. McDowell. Zacheriah Noteman, William Parkinson, Robert Paris, Jason Rice, John W. Robinson, James Robinson, William M. Robinson, Samuel Robinson, Bugler. A. P. Robinson, S. D. Robinson, James D. Robinson, James Robinson, J. M. Robinson, Thomas Robinson, Joseph Robinson. John Robinson, C. M. Robinson, Josephus Reed, John P Reed, Jacob Seaman. William Snodgrass, Samuel Snodgrass, John Smith, H. P. Smith, E. D. Smith, Abraham Stiner, Henry Vangorden. Luther Wood. Joshua Witter, Samuel Weaver, Luther Winget.

This company was well uniformed and equipped, each trooper being armed with two horse-pistols, carried in holsters, and a saber. They were well mounted and the company was composed of the elite of Union County 's chivalrous young men. This company organization was kept up until the law was repealed in 1847. Several light infantry companies were organized in the county under the same law, and these were organized into a regiment and, with their fine drum corps of twenty snare drums, ten bass drums and twenty fifers, they presented quite a warlike appearance when on parade.

The militia laws were very rigid in their demands as to military duty. Every military subject was required to be armed with a good and sufficient musket, fusee or rifle, and this was defined by the regulations to include " lock, stock, barrel and ramrod."

" Muster Day " was a legal holiday, the only one at that time provided by law, and the "old boys" had a grand time at these musters. All the old "flint-locks " and "pick-locks " of the land were brought forth which the law defined as being " good and sufficient arms."

In those ante-bellum days, there were "company trainings," "regimental trainings, "officers' musters" and "General musters." "General musters" were the grand gala days of the year, and were considered occasions of momentous importance. The " call to arms " was sounded far and wide many weeks before the assembly, and preparations were made for it on a grand scale. Brass buttons and accouterments were burnished up, old rusty sabers and horse-pistols were put in order by the " dashing light-horse cavaliers," and the whole country was astir
with a military spirit

Cooked rations." consisting of boiled pork and beans, pumpkin pies and all the fat of the land, were prepared in great abundance, with a good supply of hard cider and other drinkables which were sure to warm up the " rank and file " of the " bold soldier boys " to the fighting point, and many a good old deacon considered it a sacred duty to indulge in the ardent to a liberal extent on training day.

The militia law at that period required the organization of divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, light-horse companies, etc. The artillery arm of the service was very light, the old iron cannons being issued usually one in a place, at county seats or brigade headquarters; and many
an accident happened by these old guns being manned by inexperienced men.

One of these old iron guns, a six pounder, was issued to the militia at Milford about the year 1838, and many pounds of powder have been wasted in that old gun celebrating political victories of all parties, Democratic, Whig and Republican.

Milford Phillips was Captain of the first artillery company organized, and afterward Philip Snider was appointed Captain of the company.

At a Fourth of July celebration at Bridgeport , Union Township , in 1847 or 1848, Mortimer Tucker had his hand torn off above the wrist, and Robert Simpson had his arm torn off near his shoulder in firing this gun. At Marysville, on the 16th day of September, 1856. on the occasion of a political meeting of the Fillmore party, the gun was being fired, and by a premature discharge, Daniel Brophy and Archibald Turner were killed and Joseph G. Hawkins, the thumber. had his thumb torn off.

The old gun was several times spiked and condemned and left on the commons, where, unprotected, it " stood the storms of many a winter's campaign ;" but always, on the Fourth of July, it was brought forth by the boys, and after being inspected was reported  fit for active service," and the " chief of artillery," Bill Bancroft, solicited the usual donations for powder to fire the " morning gun " to usher in the glorious Fourth.

In June, 1876, the grim old rusty gun was reported " fit for service," and the boys having donated the required amount for powder and " fire water," the chief mustered the "old guard," unlimbered and advanced to the fair ground, where she was placed in position for trial, loaded to the muzzle, the match applied, and the old gun was blown to atoms. And now. like Othello, the old chief's "occupation is gone."

These organizations were officered by a long list of " field and staff," with many war-like titles, and they were all out in full force at general musters, in feathers and spangles, with " good and sufficient swords," as the law required; but each officer was allowed to uniform as his taste dictated, and while the dress was usually gorgeous, it was exceptional for two officers of the field and staff to have the same uniform.

Finally, the system became so useless that the laws were repealed and the old "training day " became a thing of the past.

Many of Union County 's best citizens were prominent officers in the militia organizations, among whom were Gens. Chipman, William B. Erwin and William Steel; Col. William Orr; Capts. Sidney Johnson and Philip Snider ; Dr. Curl, William Gibson. Oliver Kennedy, Milford Phillips James Thompson and Otway Curry.

Gen. A. Wiley, who now resides in the northern part of the county, was a prominent officer in the militia in Muskingum and Licking Counties , and he can interest his hearers by the hour with amusing and interesting incidents of the general muster period.

General musters were held at Milford and at Marysville. the camp grounds being just south of the old Amrine Mill, on the east side of the creek. A general muster was once held in Marysville, on the south side of West Center street , between the new court house and the residence of Judge Coats.

Company musters were held on Darby, near Unionville, in Mill Creek Township, and in Jerome Township , on the farms of Capt. James A. Curry and Robert Curry, and many other places in the county.

The old militia system, with all its defects, kept up a military spirit in the ranks of the young men of that time, and many a young man who served in the war of the rebellion now looks back with boyish pleasure to the time when he was first thrilled with the shrill music of fife and drum on "training day."

We close this chapter by giving a copy of a characteristic order from one of the old militia officers, found in the Marysville Argus, bearing date of April 5, 1844:

ATTENTION RANGERS.

The members of said Company are hereby notified to parade at Amrines Mills, on the 20th day of April, 1844, at 9 o'clock A. M., arranged and equipped as the law requires for the purpose of Co. Drill.

J. Curl, Captain.  O. S. Jackson G. Sprague
