THE DISGRACED SOLDIERS OF THE 19th. — C P. Buckingham, Adjutant General of the State, has issued a general order to be read on parade to each regiment of the Ohio troops, concerning the eight Ohio volunteers who were sent to Columbus under arrest by Gen. McClellan. The names of the men are as follows: Lieut. H. G. Stratton, Sergeant James W. McCIeery, and Privates Elisha Humason, Edward S. Palfreemen, Job D. Bell, John A. Brock, Horace Baily, and Elmore H. Andrews.
Lieut. Stratton is ordered to repair to his residence, and confine himself to his county under arrest, without pay, until his regiment is mustered out of service. The remainder are expelled from the service of the State, as men to whose courage and conduct the honor of the State is not to be entrusted.
The order concludes: The Commander-in-Chief cannot suppress the expression of his profound mortification, that men of Ohio, occupying the high position of volunteer soldiers, and having committed to them the honor of the State, should have been found so unworthy of the trust, and he is not willing to find an excuse for so flagrant a violation of duty in the vicious example set by rebels and traitors to the country. No violation of law, nor the rules of propriety and courtesy, will be tolerated among the soldiers of Ohio.

The Killed and Wounded of the 105th at the Battle of Perryville …
Company I … Wounded …
Elmer Andrews, Howland, Trumbull County, thigh and leg.
"Western Reserve Chronicle", (Warren, Ohio), 19 Nov 1862, page 3
Brought Home.
The body of Elmore H. Andrews was brought to this place on Saturday .and taken to the residence of his father Samuel Andrews, Esq. in Howland, and interred on Sunday, in the cemetery on the hill east of Howland Corners. A large concourse of people attended the funeral, and after the interment an fervent and interesting sermon was preached at the church, near the Corners, by Rev. Benjamin Excell, of the M. E. Church.
Mr. Andrews served in the 19th Ohio Regiment, in Capt. Barrett's Company, during the three months service, and was one of the five soldiers sent home with Lieut. Stratton, under arrest, and who were all so triumphantly and honorably acquitted. After his return he was a clerk in the drugstore of Mr. E. A. Smith of this place, until a few months since, when the 105th Regiment was organized, he enlisted in Company I, Capt. Kee. At the Battle of Perryville, while he was loading his musket, a cannon shot struck his ankle, breaking the bones. Unconscious of the extent of the injury, he turned partly around, when a musket ball struck his hip, inflicting a severe flesh wound, he fell. He laid upon the battlefield suffering the torture of thirst which the wounded only can feel, for twenty-six hours, when he was taken up and carried to a barn where he lay on the floor with other wounded men, with scarcely any attention for several days, after which he was taken to a hospital. His father went for him when he learned his situation, and was with him during the last days of his life, rendering all the assistance which affection could suggest, but typhoid fever had set in and exhausted nature gave way under the accumulation of suffering, and another name was added to the long list of martyrs who have laid down their lives to gratify the accursed ambition of slaveholders and their abettors.
