When Magarity had about 100 volunteers, he took his company to Peoria, Illinois where they went into camp at Camp Lyon, near present day Glen Oak Park. On August 27, 1864, 96 of Magarity's volunteers were mustered into service as Co. A of the 86th Regiment of Illinois Volunteer Infantry.
On September 7, 1862, the men of the 86th marched through the streets of Peoria to the railroad depot and boarded the cars for Indiana and Kentucky. On Oct. 8, 1862, the men of the 86th Illinois were briefly engaged with Confederate troops during the Battle of Perryville, Kentucky, suffering their first casualties.

His earthly remains were initially buried there in Bowling Green, but shortly after the war his remains were exhumed and moved to the National Cemetery in Nashville, Tennessee.
