Hupp Herman Silbaugh ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEENTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY This regiment was recruited in August, 1862, and rendezvoused at Camp Circleville, where it was mustered into the United States service September 11, 1862. September 19th, the regiment was ordered to Marietta, where it remained until December 1st. It was then ordered to Memphis. Arriving there, it was assigned to Sherman's army, then about to operate in the rear of Vicksburg. December 26th it participated in the assault on Chickasaw Bayou, and was actively engaged during the whole of this battle, losing several men killed and wounded. January 1, 1863, the army retreated. It was placed on boats and moved up the river. On the tenth it anchored near Arkansas Post, and on the morning of the next day attacked this stronghold, which surrendered at two o'clock in the afternoon. The National Troops, after disposing of the material and prisoners captured, re-embarked and sailed to Young's Point, Louisiana, where it arrived January 23, 1863. Here the regiment suffered severely from sickness, losing over one hundred men in six weeks' time. On April 5, 1863, the National Army, under General Grant, moved against Vicksburg. The One Hundred and Fourteenth was in the whole of this great campaign, and participated in the battles of Thompson's Hill, Champion Hills, Big Black Bridge, and the seige of Vicksburg, in each of which it suffered loss. In the charge at Vicksburg, May 22, 1863, Colonel Cradlebaugh was severely wounded in the mouth, from the effect of which he was obliged to resign. From this time forward the regiment was, for much of the time, moving and without serious engagements until the close of the war, although it was engaged at Graham's Plantation, near Aleandria, Louisiana, at Marksville and Yellow Bayou, and suffered at times severely from the effect of the stifling heat, dust, and the scarcity of water. In July the regiment was ordered from Texas to Columbus, Ohio, paid and mustered out. The regiment marched during it's term of service over ten thousand miles, doing duty in ten different States. It was engaged in eight hard fought battles and many skirmishes, adn lost in killed and wounded, six officers and eighty men. The loss by desease was great the first year, about two hundred men having died, and quite a number discharged for disability.
