During the late war, Mr. Beighle gave evidence of his loyalty to the government by enlisting, in June, 1863, as a member of Company A, Second Ohio Heavy Artillery, under Capt. George F. Sonner. The troops were first ordered to Rolling Fork, Kentucky, where they did guard duty and then were sent to Chattagnooga, and to Cleveland to guard the railroad. We next find them at Knoxville, Tenn., after which they went to Church Gap. At the close of the war, our subject was mustered out in Nashville, Tenn., in August 1865, and was honorably discharged at Columbus, Ohio on the 28th of August. He was a faithful soldier and never off duty, except when sick in the hospital for about six weeks. He now receives a good pension in recognition of his faithful service.
