Howard County Indiana: Civil War
Volunteer and Militia Enrollment List – Center Township
In the summer of 1862, Indiana responded to President
Lincoln's call
for troops by requiring men between the ages of 18 and 45 who had not
already enlisted in the volunteer force to be enrolled in the state
militia.
County commissioners were appointed to oversee this
enrollment with
lists being created for each township. Once the lists were complete,
claims of disability and conscientious objection could be made, with
objectors being allowed to pay $200 to "commute their obligation".
Others considered exempt included telegraph operators, skilled workers
in gun factories, engineers and firemen on the railroads, and
ministers; however, many of these men may have volunteered.
The militia enrollment lists include the following
information:
name, age, occupation, disease or condition causing the "not
able-bodied" status, exemption and remarks. (NOTE: The last
three columns were combined in this transcript.) The
entries are numbered and in rough alphabetical order. Illegible letters
or parts of words are marked with a [?]. The microfilm can be found at
the Kokomo-Howard County Library.
