1Title:  Nineteenth Ohio Battery Association Records     
 Creator:  Nineteenth Ohio Battery Association 
 Dates:  1873-1919 
 Abstract:  The Nineteenth Ohio Battery Association was an association of American Civil War veterans of the 19th Battery of Ohio Volunteer Light Artillery, which met annually and semi-annually in reunion. The 19th Ohio Battery was recruited in 1862 in Cleveland, Ohio by Captain Joseph C. Shields, and trained in University Heights, Ohio. The battery went by railroad to Cincinnati, and entered the war in Kentucky in pursuit of Confederate cavalry leader Col. James Hunt Morgan. The battery was mustered out of service in June 1865. Many of the reunions were arranged and administered by Frank Gilbert. The collection consists of a minute book of annual reunions, beginning with the 7th (1873) and ending with the 51st (1916), when the association dissolved. The book includes lists of attending members and deceased members. Included is a volume containing a history of the battery during the war, with accounts of battles and campaigns, along with minutes of 14 mid-winter reunions, 1902-1915. Also included is a scrapbook containing reunion programs, obituaries and newspaper clippings, as well as correspondence, postcards, photographs and miscellany.
