Of the members of the “Pony Section,” 3 went into “Buell’s Battery,” 3 into the 36th O. Infantry, 1 into the 2nd W. Va. Cavalry, 1 into Battery H, 1st O. Lt. Artillery and 1 into the Gunboat service.

Of those who re-entered the service 21 became commissioned officers and almost all the others became non-commissioned officers. I have accounted for 75 of the company, leaving 24 unaccounted for. The names of these stand on the roll with no explanatory remarks appended.

Those known to have died number 56; those known to be living, 19; unascertained, 24.

The formal muster out of the regiment dates August 28, 1861. The muster in of Co. B dates April 17, 1861, making the term served by the company 4 months and 11 days.


In closing this sketch I want to return my hearty thanks to Dr. John T. Booth, of Cincinnati, Ohio, for the kind loan of his invaluable diary of “Three months with the 18th Ohio Infantry 3 months troops.” By its help I have been enabled to fix dates and locations for which I had no other resource. I have drawn largely too from his narrative, at times using his very language, for which I had his generous warrant. He was a member of the company and afterwards spent three years in the service with the 36th O. Infantry. He is the historian of that regiment, his unpublished history of which is an inexhaustive mine of information.


NOTES
COL. CLARKE—CAPT. BUELL.

A strange coincidence is that of the similar deaths of Colonel Clarke and Captain Buell. Within 18 months from the morning upon which Col. Clarke presented to our company the beautiful flag mentioned as the gift of the women of Marietta and its acceptance by Captain Buell, both had fallen in battle, Col. Clarke leading his regiment, the 36th O. Infantry, at Antietam, Maryland, and Captain Buell commanding his battery, C, 1st W. Va. Light Artillery, at Freeman’s Ford, Virginia.
