"History of Switzerland County, Indiana 1885"
Below is given a full roster of the soldiers from Swizerland County,
together with the names of officers who from time to time were in
command. It will be seen that nineteen companies or parts of companies
were represented. The complete list shows over one thousand men in the
service from this county, more than half the whole number of the men
subject to service. The list is copied from the adjutant-general's
report, and as given, perhaps includes a few names from other
localities; but this number is more than compensated for by those not
reported, who are known to have enlisted in organizations formed outside
of the county.

CITIZENS' MEETINGS.
The loyal citizens of the county were not long in being aroused to a
sense of their situation, and after the first few days of confusion
immediately following the fall of Sumter, meetings began to be held in
all parts of the county, giving expression of Union sentiment. A Union
meeting was held in Vevay on the 18th of April, 1861, in which much mild
but firm enthusiasm was manifested by the majority of the citizens
present. On Saturday, April 27th, another meeting was held in Vevay,
which was largely attended; all parts of the county being represented,
and the utmost enthusiasm prevailing. J.Y. Allison was present and made
a lengthy speech in favor of the Union cause, and the following preamble
and resolutions were unanimously adopted; ......
Meetings were also held in Vevay and other towns along the river, with a
view to preserving the amicable relations which had previously existed
between them. Protection to life and property was pledged by the
citizens of both sides of the river, and a strong effort was put forth
to preserve local peace and harmony during the great national struggle
already inaugurated.
MILITARY ORGANIZATIONS.
In a few days after the news being received that war had actually begun,
military organizations began to be effected throughout all parts of the
county, styled 'Home Guards.' April 22d a company was organized at
Braytown, resolutions being at the time adopted 'unconditionally for the
Union.' John Weber officiated as president of the meeting, and F.J.
Bellamy, secretary.
April 23 a company of guards was organized at Fairview, the meeting
passing a resolution 'that the company knows nothing but Union and
Constitution, and the enforcement of the national laws, and will protect
the stars and stripes at all hazards.' James Downey, president; Lemuel
Wiley, secretary.
Posey Township was in consultation with Boone and Gallatin Counties,
Ky., April 27, and steps were taken toward the organization of a
military company at Patriot. Captain Butler, of this company, was
presented with a very handsome flag by the ladies of Patriot--a token of
their esteem for the company and sympathy with the cause. May 5 a
company of home guards were organized for York and Jefferson Townships,
and at the meeting resolutions of loyalty were passed with great
enthusiasm. May 24, a company of 100 day men left Vevay for
Indianapolis--F.J. Siebenthal, captain; George P. Tinker, first
lieutenant; I.F. Banta, second lieutenant.
It apprears, however, that none of these organizations were effected
under the regular militia laws of the State, at least no regular company
had as yet been reported as received by the governor. This dilatory
spirit is indicated and censured in the following manner by the Vevay
"Reveille" of June 6, 1861:
'Perhaps no other town in the State the size of Vevay, can be found
without a lawful military companty organized and reported at
headquarters, with a view to get suitable arms and equipments; but here
nothing is being done. Some old muskets and a cannon are here, but no
companies will be organized to use them soon. How long are these things
going to continue? If the arms here are not to be used what's the use of
keeping them?'
During the ten days intervening between the President's call for 75,000
troops, April 14 and the 24th of the same month, about twenty-five men
had volunteered and entered the service from Switzerland County; some
joining companies at Rising Sun and others at Lawrenceburgh. Not until
July 9, 1861, was the organization of a military company under the State
militia law effected. The officers of this company were M.L. Duplan,
captain; R.F. Holder, first lieutenant; John Armstrong, second
lieutenant; William H. Ruggles, orderly sergeant. Capt. Danglade's
cavalry company and Capt. Stepleton's infantry company, both organized
under the law, were ready for service about July 13. By July 25
Switzerland County had three companies organized--one yet at home, one
in camp at Madison, and one at Indianapolis. Besides these a sufficient
number of men scattered in various organizations to make a fourth
company had enlisted, making a total of about 400 volunteers out of only
about 2,000 'liable' men. By September 25 seven companies were
organized and the eighth almost complete; and on September 30 a company
was organized for the Indiana Legion, with William H. Marsh as captain;
James S. Grisard, first lieutenant; Harris Keeney, second lieutenant.
Two cannons and the necessary muskets were provided. A second company of
the Legion was organized on the 5th of October, and by the 10th of the
same month companies were formed both at North's Landing and Bennington
and two in Craig Township, one at Mennet's Landing, with sixty-three
members sworn in, and officered as follows: Captain, SAMUEL H. PAVEY;
first lieutenant, F.C. Gaudin; second lieutenant, Merit Banta. At
Braytown a company of sixty-four members: Captain, John Lancaster; first
lieutenant, John Anderson; second lieutenant, I.F. Banta.
During the entire period of the war, aid was rendered at different times
by the various societies organized for that purpose throughout the
county. Hundereds of dollars worth of provision, clothing, blankets,
quilts, et., was supplied by the ladies aid societies, sewing societies,
military festivals, and the sanitary commission. In August, 1863, the
latter organization alone contributed $303 to the cause. many indeed
were the loyal women in Switzerland County who gave their 'best fruits'
for the comfort of the soldiers in the field, and for the good of the
Union cause. All honor to their noble efforts!
During the four years of the bloody conflict little occurred of local
interest within the limits of the county but what has already been
indicated in the preceeding pages. The various efforts from time to time
put forth by the enthusiastic supporters of the cause at home, in
supplying the wants of their brothers in the field, was all that could
be done in an epoch of such intense excitement and suspense. The history
of the brave boys from Switzerland County, who endured the hardships of
the sanguinary struggle, or suffered the agony of death amid the turmult
of battle or the dying groans of their brothers in the crowded
hospitals, is written in common with that of the loyal host, which, from
ocean to ocean, rallied to the rescue of the nation's standard. Let it
suffice to say that no less than nineteen companies, or parts of
companies, from this county during the period of hostilities, gave their
strength, and many their lifes, in defense of the Union.
CLOSING SCENES
Although it is true that Switzerland County did not rally to the front
as soon as some other counties in the State, it may be justly claimed
that during the period of the struggle she did her whole duty. Out of
less than 2,000 available men, fully 1,000 bore arms in the service, and
though her population contained many persons who were violently opposed
to the administration of Lincoln, the draft imposed upon the county was
comparatively small. There is no evidence to show that her boys in blue
were not as brave and true as any in the land, and the many graves now
green with the sods of twenty summers tell to the world with what zeal
some of them fought, and at what cost their glorious victories were
bought. Peace to their ashes and their memory!
