Brief History[edit | edit source]

The 25th Regiment mustered in August 27, 1862 at Fort Scott, Kansas.  It mustered out December 12, 1865 at Fort Steele. Recruits from the 107th Regiment transferred to the 25th Ohio Infantry.

Companies in this Regiment with Counties of Origin[edit | edit source]

Men often enlisted in a company recruited in the counties where they lived though not always. After many battles, companies might be combined because so many men were killed or wounded. However if you are unsure which company your ancestor was in, try the company or regiment recruited in his county first.

According to the Encyclopedia of Cleveland History, the 107th Regiment "was composed largely of immigrant Germans from Cleveland and Cuyahoga County."  Cleveland is a major city in Cuyahoga County, Ohio.
