This Regiment was organized at Quincy, Ill., and mustered into the United States service, February 23, 1865, and was composed of companies from various parts of the state, recruiting under the call of December 19, 1864.

From Quincy, it proceeded, by rail, to Springfield, Ill., where the field and staff officers were mustered in February 25, 1865. The Regiment received its arms and accoutrements, and was then ordered to proceed to Nashville, Tenn., via Louisville, Ky. Thence, on March 7, marched to Murfreesboro, and proceeded by rail to Chattanooga, Tenn., and reported to Major General James B. Steadman, commanding the district, who at once ordered the Regiment to report to Colonel Sickles, at Dalton, Ga., where it arrived February 13, 1865, there the Regiment remained, drilling and engaged in picket and guard duty, and scouting.

The 151st Illinois, 147th Illinois, 145th Indiana, and 187th Ohio, were brigaded, and became the First Brigade, Second Separate Division Army of the Cumberland.

April 23rd, Colonel Woodall was detailed to proceed, under flag of truce, to Macon, Ga., via Atlanta, to communicate with Major General Wilson, and carry, also terms offered to the rebel General Warford, for his surrender, together with that of his command. This mission he executed with credit and dispatch, and was complimented by his commanding officer, Brigadier General H. M. Judah, who had relieved Colonel Sickles, and was at that time in command of the Brigade.

May 2, ordered to proceed to Resaca, Ga., where, after a few days, was ordered to Calhoun, and thence to Kingston, Ga., where the Regiment arrived May 11, after a most toilsome march. The Regiment marched into this town with the precision of regulars, as it was here they were to receive the surrender of the rebel General Warford and his command, which was done on the 13th, 14th and 15th of May, 1865. 10,400 rebels paroled in all.

Colonel Woodall was left in command of the post of Kingston. Company D, Captain David, was sent to garrison Adairsville, and Company F, Captain Heir, was sent to garrison Rome, while the Lieutenant Colonel was left in command of the Regiment. The garrison was chiefly engaged in securing good order, and guarding government property.

July 24, Lieutenant Colonel Snow was ordered to proceed, with three companies, to Carterville, and Major Battey sent to Rome, to relieve Captain Heir. Captain Baugher in command of the Regiment, and Captain Goble detailed as Provost Marshal.

July 28, Regiment ordered to proceed to Columbus, Ga., where it arrived July 31, 1865.

Colonel Woodall was assigned to the command of a district of six counties, and Lieutenant Colonel Snow to the command of the Regiment. Lieutenant Colonel Snow subsequently detailed as Agent of Freedmen’s Bureau; then Provost Marshal General of the State of Georgia, on General Steadman’s staff, where he remained until the office was abolished by orders of War Department. Detailed again as Judge Advocate of a Military Commission, until relieved and ordered to join his Regiment for mustering out.

This Regiment saw no fighting, but guerilla skirmishes.

It was mustered out at Columbus, Ga., January 24, 1866, and ordered to Springfield, Ill., where it received final payment and discharge, February 8, 1866. [1]History from the Adjutant General’s Report.
