[See Western Reserve Chronicle (WRC), April 24, 1861, Page 3 Wednesday - Roll of Honor; see May 8, 1861, Page 1 - The First Company from Trumbull County; also July 12, 1861] May 21, 1862 WRC, Page 2 - Army Correspondence. [Only Company H at Battle of Winchester.] "Our pioneers, Monasmith {, Samuel} and Gregg, although not actually engaged in the fight were doing their duty like men in carrying off the dead and wounded." WRC, May 20, 1863, Page 2 - The Old Seventh {at Chancellorville, list of killed and wounded}. "Sam'l Monasmith, leg & arm, sev'ly." "The total number killed in the Regiment, was 15, wounded 66, missing 16. Total 82 present. From private sources, we learn that Sam'l Monasmith was first wounded in the arm, and while being carried from the field a fragment of a shell struck his leg, severely shattered it. It is also reported at Newton Falls that Wm. Jones, formerly of that place, is wounded in the head. Also that Abram Ramaly {1831-Aug. 26 1891} and Jas. Loveless {1836-1880} are missing, but as their names are not in the official list, we hope it is a mistake.

Company H was entirely mustered out by August 18, 1861, at Warren, Ohio, by John R. Edie (see roster).
