THE EIGHTY-EIGHTH INDIANA INFANTRY,
in which nearly a full company of Wells County volunteers were organized, was mainly recruited from the Fourth Congressional District, rendezvousing at Fort Wayne. Mustered into service August 29, 1862, with George Humphrey as Colonel, it was soon ordered to the front near Louisville, Kentucky, to resist the approach of Kirby Smith. Next, under General Rousseau's command, it pursued General Bragg, engaging in the battle of Perryville, with considerable loss of numbers in killed and wounded. Subsequently it participated in the battle of Stone River, December, 1862, and January, 1863; remained in camp near Murfreesboro till June 24...This regiment did an immense amount of fighting and marching, spending very little time in camp.
