CHAPTER XXVIII
COMPANY L, ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTH REGIMENT, P.V. – ELEVENTH CAVALRY
Enlistment – To the Field – Services – Captain Loomis’s Death – Roll.
COMPANY L was recruited at various points throughout Clarion county in August and September, 1861, by Captain John B. Loomis. A part of the company was mustered into service at Philadelphia, Pa., September 13, 1861, by Captain Starr, of the U.S. Army. On the 16th of September, at the same place, fourteen other members were mustered in by Captain Dye, of the U.S. Army.
Company L went into camp near Hestonville, West Philadelphia. They broke camp October 7, 1861, and started to Washington, where they arrived at 7 o’clock October 9th. They went into camp and remained there till October 14, when they crossed into Virginia, going into camp at Ball’s Cross Roads near Fairfax Court House, Va. On the 18th of November they broke camp and recrossed the Long Bridge, passed on through Washington to Annapolis, Md., where they boarded the steamer George Washington, on the 22d of November, and arrived at Old Point Comfort, Va., on the 25th of November, 1861. They went into camp at Camp Hamilton, Fortress Monroe, Va. The company remained at Camp Hamilton, drilling and scouting on the Peninsula to Yorktown, till May 15, 1862, when it crossed over to Norfolk, Va., on the steamer South America, and occupied Portsmouth, Va.
Before Company L crossed to Norfolk, the vanguard of McClellan’s army landed at Fortress Monroe. Company L crossed to Norfolk on the 15th of May, and on the 5th of June it went into camp at Suffolk, Va., twenty-eight miles from Norfolk, with companies A, E, G, and H, which companies had also been stationed at Portsmouth with Company L. It remained at Suffolk till June 22d, scouting on the Blackwater, and in North Carolina. On the 23d of June, 1863, these troops took transports at Portsmouth, Va., and started for White House, on the Pamunkey River, in Virginia, where they arrived June 25, 1863. Companies B, L, and M had been detached from the regiment, being at South Mills, a little below Suffolk. These three companies at South Mills rejoined the regiment on the 4th of June, 1863. Before embarking for White House the regiment, on the 30th of January, 1863, took a prominent part in the battle of Deserted House or Kelly’s store. On the 16th of May, 1863, Company L was attacked at Woodville, N.C., by two hundred guerillas, and Lieutenant Miller Beatty was wounded and left in the rebel lines. Private Amos W. Delp was wounded and died June 10th from the effects of his wounds. Private Thomas McDowell was also wounded.
The regiment reached White House on the 25th of June, and on the 26th it captured General William F.H. Lee and eighty-four men, five hundred mules and horses, also a wagon train and ammunition.
On the 4th of July, 1863 the company was engaged at Hanover Junction, and on the 28th of July it was hotly engaged at Jackson, N.C. The company was with the regiment in the fight at Bottom’s Bridge on the Chickahominy, Sunday, February 7, 1864. The company marched from Portsmouth May 5, 1864, and on Sunday, the 8th of May, it skirmished with the enemy for three miles along the Petersburg and Weldon Railroad. At Jarrett’s Depot the Eleventh, assisted by the First District of Columbia Cavalry, defeated the enemy, and captured two hundred and fifty-nine prisoners.
On Monday, the 23d of May, 1864, the company went to the front with General Butler, between the James and Appomattox Rivers. On Thursday, the 6th of May, 1864, the company was dismounted and placed in the fortifications in Butler’s front. It skirmished with the enemy daily till June 8, 1864. On the 9th of June the company participated in the action in which the rebel pickets were driven in, and the Eleventh was in the streets of Petersburg. Company L, with its regiment, joined Wilson’s Cavalry Division June 21st on a raid down the Petersburg and Weldon Railroad, and struck the Petersburg and Lynchburg Railroad at Reams’s Station. On the 25th they fought the enemy for three hours at Roanoke River. On the 28th they crossed the Notaway River, met the enemy at Stony Creek, and fought nearly all night.
On the 29th of June, 1864 Company L passed through its most terrible ordeal of the war. The Eleventh Pennsylvania Cavalry was in advance when the charge was made upon the rebels. The battle lasted from early in the morning till two o’clock in the afternoon. In the charge made by the Eleventh many gallant officers and brave men fell. The regiment lost one hundred and thirty in killed, wounded, and missing. Company L had Captain John B. Loomis, Sergeants Amos Weaver, and Henry O. Gilger, and Privates John Randolph, and Jesse Evans killed in the charge. Sergeants Aaron Fulmer and David Zillafro were wounded, and forty of the company were missing. The regiment had to bear the brunt of the fight, and it also covered the retreat of General Wilson’s cavalry.
On the 11th of July Company L was ordered to the eastern shore of Virginia. It relieved Company G of provost duty. It remained on duty on the eastern shore at Accomac Court House until discharged by reason of expiration of term of service, at Fortress Monroe, Va., September 28, 1864. The veterans of the regiment and the recruits served till the close of July, 1865. The remnant of Company L shared the vicissitudes of the regiment during the closing scenes of the war. The Eleventh Regiment had the honor of opening the battle which terminated with Lee’s surrender. Major John S. Nimmon, of Lancaster county, and Samuel R. Strattan, of Clarion county, led the first squadron of cavalry, which were the first troops in sight at Appomattox Court House on the day of the surrender of the Confederate army under General R.E. Lee, April 9, 1865. And it is worthy of note, that at Appomattox, a Clarion county boy, Lieutenant James H. Clover, in charge of the commissary department was the first man on the field with his wagons, and distributed twenty-five thousand rations to the hungry and defeated Confederates. “Jim,” as he was familiarly called by his comrades, received great praise for this act.
The regiment, the Eleventh Pennsylvania Cavalry, attained considerable distinction during the war, main1y through the reckless dash and dare-devil charges so frequently made by it, under the leadership of the inimitable Colonel Sam Spear, known familiarly amongst the boys as “Old Spud.” When Spear was struck by a rebel bullet at the battle of White Oak Road he held on to the pommel of the saddle and shouted: “Go on, boys; go on just the same as if old Sam were with you.” And it is but just to say here that Colonel Spear was a gallant soldier, well trained, having spent twenty-three years in the regular service before the war, and had he been able to remain in the service he would, no doubt, have ranked high as a cavalry officer. Company L probably had fewer men on the sick list than any other company of the same number of men in the service. It was the company’s boast – a pardonable one it is believed that there was not a coward in the company.
Captain Loomis’s memory is revered by having the G.A.R. Post at Clarion named for him.
The dates herein differ somewhat from those on the Company Memorial in possession of various members of the company. In view of this fact it is well to note my reasons for the dates given. In reply to an inquiry, William C. Pritner, a well-informed and careful member of the company, says that when the memorial was prepared, “the motto, ‘Our country, may she ever be right, but right or wrong, our country,’ and the date of enlistment and muster and place of muster was given by Captain Loomis, in which he says: And mustered into service at Clarion, Pa., September 12, 1861,’ while I positively know that the company was mustered into service at Philadelphia, Pa., by Captains Starr and Dye, U.S. Army. My records say September 13, 1861, as to part, and my discharge says: “Enrolled September 16, 1861, and discharged at Fortress Monroe, Va., September 28, 1864,’ as do also the discharges of Darr, Craig, Bole, Ritz, Hosey, etc., in all fourteen men in that squad, as I made out the discharges myself while the company was on duty, stationed at Accomac Court House, Va., (Eastern Shore.) I may be wrong as to the 13th of September, 1861, being the date of muster of some of part of the company, but as to the men enrolled on the 16th of September, 1861, I am positive; I have yet passes, from the provost at Fortress Monroe, which say: ‘Guards, pass Pritner and thirteen men to Fort and Return.’” So for this reason the dates given in the following roll are adopted. Bates says, “Discharged September 13, 1864,” and “Discharged September 25, 1864.” Mr. Pritner has given conclusive data that the men mustered in September 13, 1861, were discharged September 18, 1864, and those mustered September 16, 1861, were discharged September 28, 1864.
The thanks of the writer is due to Milton Strattan, of Strattanville, for books and papers, and to Hon. John T. Strattan, of Washington, D.C., for valuable information concerning the company. He is also under many obligations to William C. Pritner, esq., of Curllsville, for the very careful correction of the roll of the company and for a sketch of the same. Some dates in the accompanying roll may still be wrong, but it is believed that most of them are correct.
In connection with our sketch of the company we give the following account of Captain Loomis’s death, by Adjutant Samuel R. Strattan, of the Eleventh Cavalry. His letter is also here given:
“No. 131 Third street, N.E.,
“WASHINGTON, D.C.,
“February 7th, 1887.
“W.A. BEER, ESQ. – My Dear Sir: While in Harrisburg last week Mr. A.J. Davis requested me to write out a brief sketch of the details connected with the death of Captain J.B. Loomis. The sketch aforesaid, hastily written, is forwarded you herewith, in order that it may reach Mr. Davis safely. Trusting you are getting along well with your history. I am, Sir,
“Yours sincerely, SAM’L. R. STRATTAN.”
DEATH OF CAPTAIN LOOMIS – BY S.R. STRATTAN.
“Among the many brave and gallant soldiers from Clarion county who lost their lives in the War of the Rebellion, there is no name, perhaps, deserving of more conspicious mention than that of John B. Loomis, captain of Company L, Eleventh Pennsylvania Cavalry Vols. The details connected with his death being somewhat of a tragic nature, and having been an eye-witness, I give them herewith as briefly as possible.
“From the 21st to the 30th of June, 1864, the regiment was engaged in the celebrated raid of Kautz’s and Wilson’s divisions, having for its object the destruction of the Danville Railroad, Va. This object had been successfully accomplished. On the return march, however, a strong force of the enemy’s infantry and cavalry was encountered at Stony Creek, Va., on the night of the 28th, and at Reams’s Station, Va., on the 29th. Heavy engagements took place in which both divisions suffered severely. Prior to the opening of the engagement on the 29th, I noticed that Captain Loomis had lost his hat and was wearing a white handkerchief around his head. I remarked to him that I was a little superstitious, and looked upon this head covering as a bad omen, aside from its affording a very conspicious target. He replied in his quiet way, ‘Oh, I guess there is not much significance in your theory.’ Yet in one short hour after that I saw him borne to the rear in the arms of the stalwart Second Lieutenant Shannon McFadden, of Richardsville, Pa., his body being pierced with several bullets, and quite dead. All being in confusion at that moment, and the retreat to Stony Creek Bridge already begun, I have often wondered how McFadden, in the short time allowed him, could possibly dig even a shallow grave, and deposit the remains of the captain, and then get away. Yet by a superhuman effort he did it, and made his escape, while hundreds of the command were being captured around him.
“In the fall of 1865, shortly after our return home, Mrs. Loomis asked me concerning what I knew of the details connected with the death of the captain. I informed her of the circumstances above related, and she, in company with Lieutenant McFadden, repaired to the battle-field, exhumed the remains, which were found in such a state of preservation as to be easily recognized, brought them to Clarion, where after appropriate funeral ceremonies at the Loomis House, they were escorted to the cemetery by Guth’s Brass Band, to the sound of mournful dirges, and followed by a large concourse of citizens and comrades, and finally, deposited in their last resting place, with Masonic and military honors.”
