BATTLE FLAGS
Fellow descendant, Arlan Heiser, has kindly provided two photos of 16th O.V.I. battle flags. One is currently available on this page. More to come!
REGIMENTAL ROSTERS
All of the 16th OVI 3-year regiment has now been recorded and is available in a searchable database. You can search by company, rank, last name and other criteria. The next step
in roster transcription will be to obtain and record the 16th OVI 90-day regiment. This full regiment was the first 16th OVI organized in April, 1861 and mustered out in August of that year
due to the expiration of the 90-day commitment. Enjoy searching the entire 3-year regiment now!
SOLDIERS' PROFILES
Completed (if historical research is EVER complete) are profiles for eight soldiers are complete and available on the Soldier's Profile page.
I have information on several more and will be adding profiles as time permits.
REUNION HIGHLIGHTS
Thanks to H. Arlan Heiser, I have plenty of documentation to review. Provided are pages for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 9th and 38th reunions. There are over thirty more to do. I place the most interesting and emotional pieces of each reunion's documentation onto the web site. I plan to present such exceprts for every reunion but will continue to add more to the existing reunion pages, too.
Arlan Heiser has completed all the Reunion Attendance charts. I have published one for Company C. I'll get to them all as time permits. Thanks again, Arlan!
THOMAS LINN DIARIES
Rumors are that more "volumes" of the Thomas B. Linn diaries exist. When they are discovered and available to me, they will be placed on this site! You can enjoy July, 1863 through January 1864 right now!
MORE IMAGES!!!!
You can see the image of one of Major Mills' diaries on the Home Page near the bottom. I have recently provided photograph of Major Mills' officer's coat and red sash, also. I have photo's of the Major's sword and they will be appearing with the coat and sash very soon.
I have found several more photographs of other members of the 16th O.V.I. Once they are ordered and recieved, I will place them where YOU can see them, too!
I am seeking photographs of the 16th. I believe there must be group photos of the regiment, as well as many other individuals scattered throughout the land. Any assistance in finding such photos will greatly enhance the web site - AND, earn you a spot on our Descendants and Friends of the 16th OVI page!
