Regiment History      
OHIO THIRD INFANTRY 
(Three Months) 
Third Infantry. - (Three Months' Service.) Col., Isaac H.
Marrow; Lieut.Col., John Beatty; Maj.,J. Warren Keifer. This
regiment was organized at Camp Jackson,near Columbus, April
21,1861,in response 
to the call of the president for volunteers to serve for three
months. It was mustered into service, April 27, 1861. On April
28 a part of the regiment was sent to Camp Dennison to prepare
a suitable camping place for the regiment, where it was joined
by the remainder two days later, and throughout the month of
May was subjected to thorough discipline and drill. Before
orders for the field were received volunteers for three years
were called for and the regiment was re-enlisted with
alacrity, so that on June 12, 1861, it was re- organized and
on June 20 was mustered into service for three years. Those of
the three months organization who did not enlist for three
years were mustered out on Aug. 22, 1861. The regiment, by its
thorough drill and discipline during its three months'
organization, was enabled at once to enter into active service
under its three years' organization.
