One of the popular young men in this town in 1861 was Charles O. Ring, who was born in Barnstead, March 14, 1844. When but nine months old his mother, Mary A. Ring, moved to Pittsfield. Here Charles grew to manhood, attending our public school and academy. In 1861 he enlisted, August 23, in Company H, Third New Hampshire volunteers, in the same company that his cousin, John Brooks, served. The regiment left the state September 3, and proceeded to Port Royal. On the night of August 21, 1862, while his company were sleeping in a house on Pinckney Island, the enemy surprised them; some of them jumped from the windows and saved themselves, but young Ring seized his rifle, rushed out of the door, and took his place beside his captain. Here he received five bullet wounds, and as he fell he crawled under the house; but the rebels were not content to let him die thus, and stabbed him seven times with the bayonet. After the enemy was repulsed he was taken to the hospital, where he lived twelve hours. On the way he begged of his comrades to take his knife and cut the boot from his wounded foot for he suffered intense pain from the bayonet wounds; they did so, and it relieved him at once. His father, A. G. H. Ring, who belonged to the Third Rhode Island heavy artillery, obtained permission, went, down, secured the body, and brought it home, reaching Concord September 11, 1862. He was buried in the rear of the town hall, but after the new cemetery was opened his body was removed to that beautiful resting place of the dead.
