Excerpt: "The regiment was at the front constantly in the battle of Shiloh and on the second day participated in the final charge which swept the enemy from the field, resting that night in the camp which it had abandoned the day before. The regiment lost 15 killed, 73 wounded and 46 missing."
History of Medina County Ohio, 1881
Excerpt p. 323: "Among the killed on the 6th, was Lieut. Col. Herman Canfield, of Medina County, a talented man and a brave and capable office. Prior to his departure for the field, he had taken an active and prominent part to secure the enlistment of men, and was identified with every important movement in the county to encourage a feeling of determined resistance to the rebellion. His deat was a serious loss to the country."
Excerpt p. 336: "Soon after the death of Lieut. Col. Herman Canfield, at Shiloh, his widow, Mrs. Martha Canfield, with several other ladies in the service of the Government, was instructed to proceed to Memphis, Tenn., and organize a colored orphans' asylum. This was done, and the asylum was conducted until after the close of the war. This lady is now in the service of the Government at Washington, D.C."

Re: Herman - Canfield Family cont.
Excerpt: "The children of Mr. Canfield and wife Fitie were William H. Canfield, Elizabeth M., Cornelia, Laura, and Herman. William studied law in Judge Newton's office and removed to Medina, where he accumulated a handsome competency in the practice of law, and lost all of it by misplaced confidence in some one or two young men he had befriended. He established a bank in Medina and entrusted these young men to manage it. The result was, someone else got all the money, and Mr. Canfield was left penniless. Before this he served one or more terms as judge of the court of common pleas in a district embracing Medina county. Disheartened by his losses he concluded to try his fortune elsewhere, and removed to Kansas, where he succeeded to such an extent as to be elected to the bench a second time. He died at a place and date unknown to his friends here. None of the three sisters married. Cornelia, when last heard from, was living in Kansas at an advanced age. Herman, the youngest of the children, was born in 1817. I remember him somewhat indistinctly when we were both young. One event that brings him to mind was sitting up with him one night during a protracted illness on his part in 1837. My recollection of him is to the effect that he was an amiable, quiet young man, with a delicate constitution. He also became an attorney and successfully practiced his profession. I am uncertain as to his location while in practice, but think it was either Medina or Sandusky. He represented his district for one or more terms in the Ohio Senate, a fellow member with Judge Newton. In the civil war he took active part in organizing the 72d regiment of O.V.I. and went to the front as its lieutenant colonel. Colonel Ralph P. Buckland commanded the regiment. The latter named obtained his law education in the office of Judge Newton, and both student and preceptor married half sisters, daughters of Mrs. Eli T. Boughton. Lieut. Col. Canfield gave up his life on the bloody battlefield of Shiloh. Col. Buckland came home after the war a brigadier-general, and afterwards represented Sandusky congressional district four years."
