The following is a copy of the tribute of respect by the officers of the 11th O.V. C., for their late comrade, Levi Monroe Rinehart, presented Feb.15, 1865, at Fort Laramie, Idaho Territory:
"God in the manifestation of His all-wise providence has taken from our little band Capt. Levi M. Rinehart, and, while we bow in humble submission to His will, we still sincerely feel that the void thus created in our little circle will remain long unfilled. His manly form no longer moves among us; but in the greenest spot of our memory will long live the remembrance of the honorable uprightness of his character, and the frank, open generosity of his society. As a patriot, as a warm loyal Union-loving man, we knew him brave to a fault. His character as an officer and a soldier is best expressed in his last telegram to commanding officer. This telegram was written upon the eve of his departure, upon the expedition which ended in his death, and concluded thus: 'If you have any other duty for me to perform, please command me.' And those so characteristic of him, were perhaps the last he ever wrote - a noble sentence, emanating from a noble, brave and generous heart."
Signed, George C. Underhill, Surgeon; Thomas P. Clarke, Captain; and Henry E. Averill, 1st Lieutenant; Committee 11th O.V. C.
"Capt. Rinehart was killed in a skirmish with some Cheyenne Indians on the North Platte, near Deer Creek, on the morning of the 13th of February, 1865, meeting his death as becomes a brave soldier in the lead of his party."
Signed, William O. Collin, Lieutenant Colonel Commanding, President; and Capt. Thomas P. Clarke, Secretary.
Capt. Rinehart was born in Cambridge, Ohio, Aug. 9, 1835. In 1861, he answered his country's first call for men, and enlisted in the 16th O.V. I. for three months. In February, 1862, enlisted in the 60th O.V. I. for one year; he was taken prisoner at Harper's Ferry, Va. After being held as a prisoner of war some three months, he was exchanged. In the spring of 1863, he raised a company of cavalry and was assigned to the 11th O.V. C., sent out on the frontier.
