   MANDERSON, GEN. CHARLES F., born in Philadelphia, Pa., February 9,
   1837. He was educated in the schools of his native city; removed to
   Canton, Ohio, in 1856; studied law and was admitted to the bar in
   1859, and, in 1860, elected city solicitor. He raised a company of
   three months volunteers in April, 1861, was commissioned as captain in
   the Nineteenth Ohio Infantry, served in Western Virginia in the summer
   of 1861, and when mustered out re-enlisted for the war, and was
   afterward attached to the Army of the Cumberland, and rose through the
   various grades to be colonel of his regiment, of which he took command
   during the battle of Shiloh. At the battle of Lovejoy Station he was
   so severely wounded that in April, 1863, after receiving the brevet of
   brigadier general, he resigned his commission.
