PENNSYLVANIA ONE HUNDRED and NINETY-FIFTH INFANTRY (One Hundred Days; One Year)

One Hundred and Ninety-fifth Infantry. Col., Joseph W. Fisher; Lieut.-Col., William L. Bear; Maj., Oliver C. James. The majority of the recruits for this regiment were obtained in Lancaster county and were without previous military training. They were mustered into the U. S. service at Camp Curtin, Harrisburg, July 16 to 24, 1864, for a term of 100 days. As soon as organized the regiment proceeded to Baltimore and thence to Monocacy Junction, where it was stationed for two months guarding the bridge and railway lines. During the last month of its service it was stationed along the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, with headquarters at North Mountain Station. Three hundred of the members re-enlisted for a one year's term, and were consolidated into three companies. The others were mustered out at Harrisburg, Nov. 4, 1864. Seven new companies were recruited in Feb., 1865, by Col. Fisher and on March 16 the regiment was reorganized at Martinsburg, W. Va. for a term of one year. Three more companies were temporarily attached to it. Only one change was made in the field officers; Henry D. Markley became major in place of Maj. James. It served at Charlestown, Kabletown and Stevenson's station, Va., until April 22, when it moved to Berryville, Va., and was employed in preserving order among the people of the region. On June 6 it moved up the valley as far as Harrisonburg. While on the way the noncommissioned staff and Cos. A, B and C, composing the veteran battalion, were mustered out at Summit Point, Va., June 21, 1865. The remaining companies proceeded to Washington on Aug 1, and were employed in guard duty until the date of their final muster out, Jan. 31, 1866.
