Organized in August, 1862, under Colonel James
Washburn, it served in West Virginia until March, 1863, when it moved east to
Winchester. The Regiment joined Meade's army on its return from Gettysburg, and
in April, 1864, marched with Siegel down
the Shenandoah Valley, engaging the enemy near Staunton, where it met with a
loss of 176 men. In June it moved to Lynchburg and suffered greatly in the
retreat north from that place, and in July and August fought at Snicker's Gap and Opequan under Sheridan, with severe loss. In March, 1865, the
Regiment joined the Army of the James in front of Petersburg and participated
in the pursuit of Lee. The Regiment mustered out June 14th, 1865, with the

General Doubleday, in his account of the battles of
Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, in “The Campaigns of the Civil War,” says: “Soon
after the affair at Opequan, Major Morris, with 200 men, was attacked at Bunker
Hill, and outlying post of Winchester. He occupied a fortified church, but
moved out to meet the enemy, under the impression it was only a small raiding
party. When he found 2,000 men in line of battle, he retreated, fighting, to
the church again. There, as the doors were barricaded, and the walls
loop-holed, the rebels could make no impression, and were obliged to fall back
to a respectful distance. In the night the Major managed to steal away, and
soon rejoined the main body at Winchester.” Among those conspicuous for bravery
and coolness at the battle of Bunker Hill, was Lieutenant A. B. Frame, of company I, upon whom the command of the
company devolved, after the wounding of the gallant Captain Cochran. He was highly
praised by Major Morris, and ever afterwards retained the confidence and esteem
of his men. Under a most galling fire, he covered the retreat to the church,
keeping his men in hand as well and as coolly as on a parade ground, and was
among the very last to enter the church. More than half of his company were made
prisoners, by being cut off from the church, and from reaching him from the
skirmish line. Mere boy, though he was, he that day showed himself possessed of
great courage, and superior soldierly qualities. - - - RECORD OF THE ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEENTH REGIMENT OHIO INFANTRY
