105th Ohio Volunteer Infantry Project
My multi-year goal is to:
1) research all 1099 soldiers that served in the 105th Ohio Volunteer Infantry
2) make WikiTree the most complete repository of reference materials of the soldiers who served in the 105th Ohio Volunteer Infantry.
I hope to complete this effort during 2028.
During 2023, the number of profiles of 105th Ohio Volunteer Infantry increased by 76 - from 755 to 831.
Companies D, E, F, G, H and I are completed. Company K is underway.
Goals for 2024 are:
1) to complete the 56 remaining soldiers in Company K by October 10, 2024. This will add Company K to the completed Companies list and anticipates a soldier completion rate of 6 per month. Since some of these profiles are stubbed up and some don’t exist at all, this will bring the total complete to 864.
January — Private Henry Clay Hickok, Private Clency E. Hill, Private Issac Willard Hine, Private William D. Holden, Private William Henry Howard, Sr., Private Marcus W. Humphrey. ✅
February — Private Albert G. Hutchinson, Corporal Wesley Levi Jarvis, Private Stephen James Hutchinson, Private Albert H. Kinney, 1st Sergeant George L. Mason, Private Albertus N. Parker. ✅

May - Private Horace William Pangburn.
2) to complete the first 16 soldiers from the Company B roster by December 31, 2024. I’m pivoting to Company B at the request of the 105th re-enactors group. This anticipates a soldier completion rate of 6 per month starting in October. Since some of these profiles are stubbed up and some don’t exist at all, this will bring the total complete to 876.
January - Private Henry L. Beebe, Private Edward M. Bell, Sr., Captain Andrew D. Braden, all of Company B.
3) to accomplish up to 5 related sub projects from material or requests from other WikiTree members. (TBD)
▫️ Update Corporal Joseph Applegate family information provided by family member J. Muetzel. (In process.)
▫️Continue to try to obtain permission to use the letters and diary of Edwin R. More in his and his families WikiTree profile. See https://sites.rootsweb.com/~ohgeauga/morediry.htm. The permission emails shown on the page bounced. Now I need to try to locate the individuals to get permission.
▫️Create a Where They Lived page to facilitate better conversations with various historical societies.
▫️2 TBD
4) to sustain the 105th Ohio Volunteer Infantry project information and continue to seek for members to join this project.
5) I am willing to be a speaker on the topic of the 105th Ohio Volunteer Infantry for any historical or genealogical groups. I hope to give at least 3 presentations.
6) Extras: Stubbed up Captain Henry P. Gilbert, Sergeant Nelson Henry Smith, Chaplain Albert D. Morton, Sergeant Isaiah J. Nessle, Private Theron McKinley, Private John F. Edwards.
