COMPANY D. Inasmuch as Company D was away from the regiment on detached duty for a time, it may be interesting to give an outline of their doings while thus employed. Sometime during the month of May, 1863, Company D was ordered to report to Gen. Milroy for duty. Capt. Shawhan was appointed Provost Marshal, and his company formed a part of the guard. Capt. Shawhan went to work at once in the performance of the duties of his office, and made a very efficient officer. He soon had the city thoroughly cleaned, his men burning two kilns of lime and scattering it thoroughly about, thereby contributing greatly in arresting the contagious diseases, that were rapidly turning the entire city into a general hospital. Some indiscrete young ladies insisted upon coming upon the streets wearing gloves with “Secesh” emblems upon them, until three or four were arrested and put in the guard house. They soon sued for peace, and ever after there was no trouble in curbing the turbulent dispositions of the most violent Secessionists. During the fight at Winchester, June 15th, 1865, the company was busy guarding prisoners and getting out ammunition for the artillery in the forts. When the retreat commenced they had orders to follow with their prisoners in the rear of the command. They fell in with the first regiment they came to, the 116th O. V. I., and when they came to where the battle was going on, that regiment was ordered to march right on to the Potomac river. They arrived at Orleans Station on the night of the 16th, where they drew rations. On the 18th they started for Cumberland, and when within ten miles of that place they received orders to march into Pennsylvania, arriving at “Bloody Run,” where Milroy’s command was reorganized. They remained there until July 4th, when, with Couch’s Division of the 6th Corps, they followed after Lee’s retreating army, until reaching Harper’s Ferry, when Company D was ordered to Martinsburg, arriving there August 4th. The regiment was collected together here, with Maj. Kellogg in command of the post, though still suffering much from his wound.
