" Dr. Longwell of this place and Dr. Brundige of Berkshire have recently "passes muster" and been appointed Surgeon's Mates in the Army. We are glad of their success for they are both very clever gentlemen."

Democratic Standard, August 29,1861 p.3

" Dr. Longwell left for VA. on Monday evening last, bearing many tokens to the Delaware boys, from their friends at home. He will be attached to the 4th Regiment, also." * Longwell will show up at Camp Chase later. in July 1863.

July 31,1863: Delaware Gazette: Dr. A. Longwell of this place, formerly Surgeon of the 4th Ohio Regiment has been appointed Surgeon of the 88th (Governor's Guards) Regiment, stationed at Camp Chase.

August 24, 1863 *Delaware Gazette, Sept. 4, 1863: D.W.C. Lugenbeel From the 88th Regiment Editor Gazette : As Artemus Ward would remark. "things is working " here. On the 20th inst. 700 rebels were removed from here in Camp Douglas, near Chicago, and on the 22nd as many more took the same route; today nearly the same number followed suit. Men are detailed from our regiment to guard them safely to the land of "Suckerdom", but the journey is not looked upon by the guards as a very envious one, from the fact of their being while en route, in such close proximity to the lousy,dirty,filthy rebs, and thus invariably return well covered with "grey-backs" a class of vermin that cling to a person with disagreeable tenacity, rendering necessary many applications of a compound of ley and water, to remove them; but the bitter in a soldiers life generally overbalances the sweets. When these rebs get away, we will still have about 1200 left in limbo. "On Friday last, our worthy captain being officer of the day had three "nymphs du pave" who had been arrested dressed in male attire at the time of the arrest, shaved closely and under an escort of soldiers, drummed out of camp. With their bald heads they presented a grotesque appearance on the march" "The prisoners removed from here presented a novel appearance, being dressed in every conceivable garb, one having on a vest made from an untanned calf skin, and in a good humor, telling the guards who remained behind that they were coming back again by Christmas One long-haired, uncouth reb was extended upward at least seven feet and being spare, looked more like a flagg staff than a human being. Almost daily, Kentuckians of both sexes arrive here with money, clothes, etc. for relatives and acquaintances in the prison and backed by an order from Gen. Burnside, frequently obtain interviews with the erring ones who were with the noted horse thief. John Morgan, in his John Gilpin raid through Ohio before he was so unceremoniously halted among the hills of o'd Columbiana. Drs. Longwell and Caruthers are rendering themselves popular with the "suger boys" by their urban manners and careful attention to the wants of the sick. Sorry am I to say that we have in the deserters prison more than one hundred who have violated their oath and deserted the old flag at a time when their services were most needed. Sergeant H.A. Shoub has been assigned to the Invalid Corps at Columbus. Although our company has been organized less than one month, under the exertions of our gentlemanly Orderly, seconded by Capt. Anderson, a born soldier, we have the reputation of being the best drilled company in the regiment. Bully for company H. We have first class field officers- G.W. Neff, colonel; Weber, lieutenant colonel and Skyles, major. The latter gentleman has but one arm, the other having been lost in the service. He is a capital officer. The Sergeant major is a capital little fellow, puts on just enough style to be an officer all over. His star is still in the ascendancy. Much sickness is prevailing among the rebs which is not to be wondered at when taken into consideration the filth amid which they live; some of them actually die from the grey-backs and other vermin with which they are covered. They have a hospital in prison No.2, attended by one of their own surgeons They say if any liquor is sent in for use in the hospital, he drinks it and rubs the bottles on the sick under his charge. "Hucksters swarm in the camp like flies. Chalk and water retails as milk at five cents per quart. One day beggars come around begging dry bread; the next day after, having made a preparation by soaking it in cold water, they put a little apple between two pieces and sell it to our boys at ten cents a piece as pies. One old man, hump-backed and bent nearly doubled, ragged and dirty, begging old scraps around camp, is worth several thousand dollars." Occasionally we are visited by friends from home, with all the delicacies of the season, and then we live gay. This was the case a few days since, when the Misses Beards and Robinson, of Union county, came down with enough to last our mess some time. They have the thanks of all hands in the "chebang," I take this method of returning my thanks to Misses E. and M. Thompson, of your place, for the present of a magnificent needle-book, with all the accompanying paraphernalia necessary to fix up all rents in our U.S.. toggery. Hoping that old Delaware will give an overwhelming Union majority at the October election, I remain yours, D.W.C. Lugenbeel Sergt. Co. H., 88th O.V.I.

The Democratic Standard, Thursday March 3, p 2. col 2 Camp Chase Letter Camp Chase, 0 Feb 29, '64 Editor Standard- This month is going out like a lion. Yesterday we were visited by a storm of thunder and lightning - the first of the season - accompanied by high winds and rain. Two of the guards connected with our company while on duty were somewhat stunned by the lightning which was attracted by bayonets on their pieces. The fluid hit the bayonets hard enough to form creases. So much is in evidence against highly polished bayonets and "shooting irons". Last night we had a snow storm, the snow falling to the depth of three inches. This morning we were mustered for pay, the primal step towards drawing green-backs. About noon 1,000 rebel prisoners started for Fort Delaware. They had been hear such a length of time, they undoubtedly were pleased at the idea of changing their "prison base of operations". The 82nd O.V.I. left here for the front on Saturday last, about 600 strong. The 2lst will soon follow suite. Bazil Duke is still here and has not voluntarily returned to the O. P. as has been published by some papers, nor does he wish to, as no nor would accrue to a step of this kind for he has the freedom of the camp.

1,500 rebel prisoners yet remain here including 500 officers. We have had many cases of small pox, but few of them have proved fatal, however. Dr. Longwell, our efficient Surgeon, and Dr. Carothers , 1st Assistant, a good surgeon, both from your county are still with us. The prospect for a wheat crop the coming season is very gloomy; fruit crop ditto.

From every indication it will not be necessary to resort to a draft in Columbus, as they will fill their quota with volunteers. Our Department Commander appears inclined to do the clean thing by the "blue coats". Who would not be a soldier when he can get a nice blue coat, pants, tile, bootees, shirt, drawers and stockings for ($13.00) thirteen dollars with plenty of sow-belly, fresh beef, rice, hominy, beans, fresh bread, coffee, tea, sugar, molasses, potatoes and onions thrown in.

Our Orderly having just passed through a small pox campaign, (and who is one of the most capital boys in the bloody 88th), but with little scarring, is ready to receive proposals from the fair sex.

The young ladies in this vicinity still remember that soldiers love sweet things so they send them in, especially Miss. EE. W,, one of the fairest of Franklin County's fair daughters. May prosperity and happiness ever be hers.

Our boys have a perfect mania for ring making, and a shop is in operation in every chebang. At night a general onslaught is made upon the rat family with broom handles and sticks. Occasionally one of the "oldest inhabitants" shows fight, which turns the scale, and then the almost nude boys to their bunks "double-quick-MARCH" leaving the old Norwegian alone in his glory, until reinforcements can be got to come in on the flanks, and any moonlight night the clarion voice of Patrick Welch of Co. "D", saying to his dog when he wants him to "for for" them -"Sick 'em!" - "Cotch a rat and ate 'em all oop!" On the 2lst instant, as a relief from the monotony of camp life, we in company with four beautiful young ladies attended a wedding in the "Oak Woods" near Grove City in this county, It was gay and festive." The bride was very pretty, and neatly and modestly dressed, and went through with her part of the role admirable; while the groom was rather verdant. When he saw the minister approaching, he broke out, and it was some time here he could pick up sufficient courage to come in and then he took the wrong seat, and only discovered his mistake after his dough-beater gave him two or three digs with her elbow among the ribs, like one urchin at school trying to make another quit scourging. When they were being "tied up: the poor fellow tried to spill a tear, but the tear couldn't seem to come. The dinner, however, was very fine, and fully made amends for all previous mishaps. DWCL

March 14th,1864: Delaware Gazette From Camp Chase Camp Chase, O. March 14th, 1864 Editor Gazette:- March is bound to keep up her reputation for being a blustering month. To-day we had inumerable squalls of snow, the flaks falling thick and fast. At noon today 500 rebels were started for Fort Delaware, under the directions of our worthy Captain; among them was one female who has been here some time. She styles herself Florence Washington, claiming some relationship to the Immortal Geo. Washington. If the General was to hear of this claimed relationship, his bones could not lie easy in the grave at Mount Vernon, on the fare-famed " all quiet on the Potomac." They go to Philadelphia by rail, and from there to the Fort by water, which is situated on an island in the Bay bearing the same name with the Fort, fifty miles from the "City of Brotherly Love". The removal of fifteen hundred prisoners from here within two weeks makes quite an opening, but the vacancy will soon be filled up with new recruits from the "Conthieveracy". One hundred and sixty came in on Friday last. Since I last wrote you, a small fire occurred in camp, consuming the building used as prison Head Quarters, disturbing the equanimity of countless numbers of Norway rats who had grown grey in the service. The rats in the camp are very discriminating. A few nights since Union paper containing a graphic description of a rat hunt was dragged by them through a hole in the floor of a chebang inhabited by Mess I, of our company, while a few rods off laid a Butternut sheet untouched. The camp is crowded with veteran regiments en route for the front. They have been home, had a good time with their wives, little ones and sweet hearts, and are going back to help in squelling the damnable plot laid for the destruction of this blood bought Republic. Many new boys have come with them, and proudly do they walk in their suits of blue, well knowing that the eyes of those who are dear to them are upon them, watching with anxiety their bearing in the face of the enemy. Noble boys. May He who tempers the wind to the lamb that is shorn, guard and protect them, and bring them back in safety to their friends. Many who returned single from the South have been "tied up" since their return, and more weddings have taken place since the 1st of January 1864, than had occurred in the same length of time since the discovery of this continent. On yesterday one Captain, two Lieutenants, and twenty - five enlisted men of this regiment were detached to escort the remains of Captain Wells, off 113th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, who fell at the battle of Chickamauga to their last resting place in that beautiful "City of the Dead," Green Lawn Cemetery." Light is breaking. It is rumored that this Regiment is soon to have an opportunity to re-organize for active service in the field. God grant that this may be so, for it would be such relief to get away from this lousy, dirty camp. Dr. Longwell is in charge as Post Surgeon, What a capital fellow he is. Not long since a new recruit at Tod Barracks, received his bounty, and with it purchased a set of shoulder straps. With these he procured the countersign, went up in the city. got married, and before daylight was far on his way to Canada, that place of refuge for so many scoundrels both in and out of the army. A short time ago, an officer returning from near Charleston, south Carolina, whether he had been to escort some deserter, was on a boat which was fired into by the Guerillas. He was terribly alarmed, and having some important papers for Governor Brough in his possession, thrust them inside of his stockings beneath his feet. Then being reminded by the crashing of the balls from the enemy's guns in close proximity to his feeble body, ( he weights over two hundred pounds) that he might be near death's door, he began to think of nothing but, Now I lay me down to sleep All curled up in a little heap, which he rehearsed in sober earnest. Fortunately for the poor fellow, the boat escaped, and he is now a living monument of the mercy of the Guerrillas, and tells of his hair breadth escape with great gusto. I would advice him to get some one of the boys to learn him the /lords Prayer, and procure a copy of the "Sinner's Call" to read, before he venture so far away from home again. Will Old Delaware County fill up her quota without resorting to a draft! We have got rid of that delectable gentleman, Basil Duke. He has been sent to Fort Delaware. Yours Truly D.W.C. Lugenbeel

April 11, 1864: Official Records. - Union and Confederate Series II, vol. 6, page 51 & 52. [Inclosure] Camp Chase, Ohio, April 11, 1864 Col. W.P. Richardson, Commanding Post: I have in compliance with your order made a careful examination of Prison No. 3, Camp Chase, Ohio, and have the honor of submitting the following report: I find the sanitary condition of the quarters, streets, and alleys good, but sinks, situated a few feet north of the quarters, I find in a decidedly pernicious condition. They are all full, or nearly so, with one exception. This one would accommodate the present number of men two or three months. There is room for no more sinks within the inclosure. There is a large ditch running the entire length of the prison and within a few feet of one line of quarters, which is partially filled by fluid contents of the sinks permeating the soil and settling therein. And at present, owing to the recent rains, the sinks are to some extent overflowing and the contents passing into the ditch. This offensive matter cannot be disposed of except by conducting it through a ditch running between and parallel with the officers' and company quarters the entire length of the east half of the camp. The result of which is too palpable to require comment. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, Albert Longwell, Eighty-eight Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Post Surgeon.

February 9,1865: Delaware County News Thursday, ---------

A Darke County "blue-coat" an inmate of the Post Hospital at Camp Chase, writes as follows of Dr. A. Longwell, Post Surgeon: ""Maj. Longwell is in charge of the Hospital as Post Surgeon, and he is the right man in the right place. He is well thought of by all his patients, and everyone under his command. Never was an Army Surgeon more efficient or more popular then he.""" A Camp Chase correspondent writes as follows:-

We have some over ten thousand Johnnies here now to guard. They are as ragged as ever. The mortality in the rebel prisons is from ten to eighteen per day. There are about two hundred rebs in the Pest House at present, with the smallpox, and two hundred sick in the Hospital, as near as I can ascertain, The eighty-eighth, is getting along alright, with the exception of Captain Bunker, who has been dishonorably dismissed from the service.

There are quite a number of recruits here helping our boys do guard duty, which makes it much easier on us. We only go on guard every third day, which is quite a change of programme to the old story of every other day. The guards are kept on the fence as usual, only twice as many of them, in order to prevent desertions.

There is considerable sickness among Union soldiers, and a good many deaths occur. There are about two hundred in the Hospital and ten have died since the first of January, Three died in our Ward between the 29th of January and the 2nd of February."

March 8, 1865. Correspondence of Del. News. Camp Chase, O. March 8, 1865. Delaware County News March 9,1865------------------- Editor Delaware County News:- General Mud is the ranking officer at present in this camp. It is found on all sides, in the barracks as well as on the outside.-- Several times when the rolls were called in some of the new companies, some of the smaller boys were missing -- supposed to have deserted -- but, to the great gratification of their officers, during the pleasant weather of yesterday and Monday, while the attach House were engaged in cleaning up around the building, they un-earthed the little fellows from beneath the mud, who had just enough life left to call for more "sow-belly."

Five installments of Johnnies of 500 each, have recently left here for Camp Lookout,(Md.,) and Aikens' Landing, (VA.,) for exchange. About one-third of the entire number here refuse to be exchanged. A great many of the prisoners have died here -- there are nearly 1600 buried in their grave yard south of the camp besides a number have been taken to Dixie for burial.

A great many new recruits throng the camp, many of them being regular Sardines, and numerous "sells" are practiced upon them by the "vets" such as "checking their baggage " sending them to Col. Neff to "trade boots" or to the chaplain for "Kinnikinnick." Watch-trading and "selling passes" is also carried on extensively, a new recruit often giving fifteen dollars for a forged pass, or fifty dollars for an old "bulls eye" worth about three dollars. In the hands of the "old uns" their big bounties are disappearing like the due of morning before the hot arm. But the poor fellows will be wiser if they live to come home.

Many improvements have taken place in camp since I was here before, and after the mud dries away it will be pleasant here. My old "chums" of the 88th O.V.I. ( a most capital set of boys they are too.) and two companies of the 87th Iowa, "grey-beards," are "running the machine." Among the new recruits is a war correspondent of the New York World, which paper you know can beat the world in lying.

Much sickness prevails here. All the hospitals are crowded to excess. Even the chapel has been converted into a hospital. Many are dying -- some very suddenly. A number who but recently left home and friends, buoyant with hope and prospect of a safe return at the end of their term of service, are now quietly sleeping their last long sleep in "Green Lawn." But this is a nice "city of the silent dead," and they can sleep their very well.

I dropped in upon Dr. Longwell and his estimable lady, and found them administering to the wants of the sick.-- The sick boys say they could not do without Mrs. L., Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Matthews, and Mrs. Jackson in the wards or in the cook-room. I was sick last fall long enough in the hospital to know that Mrs. Dr. Longwell can't be beat in preparing suitable articles for the sick to eat. Long life to Dr. L. and his better half.

I noticed that the officer who said "all that non-commisioned officers were fit for was to do the dirty work of commissioned officers," and that "no one was entitled to be a commissioned officer unless he had been born and raised an aristocrat," is keeping a "stallion." I am glad he has at last found his level.

In Columbus I called on my old "boss" G.F. Stayman, who is Foreman in the Christian Witness office, where there are several beautiful and intelligent young lady compositors, and he seems to be enjoying himself muchly. Your strayed or stolen "jour" D.W.C. Lugenbeel also....

March 9, 1865: Delaware County News March 9,1865------------------- "Wanted.-- There are so many sick at Camp Chase, that those in charge of the various hospitals are unable to procure the necessaries for them to eat, and in consequence thereof, the poor boys are suffering dreadfully. The Chapel has been converted into a hospital for Paroled men, many of whom are almost daily arriving, just released from loathsome prisons, emaciated, sick and nearly starved, and they nearly all have to be taken to the hospital immediately upon their arrival. This Hospital is already crowded." "Can not our citizens get them up a box or two and send down ? If they do, they can direct them to Captain Allen "I" company, 88th O.V.I. Camp Chase, Ohio."

March 21, 1865: Delaware County News :March 30, 1865 Camp Chase, O., March 21, 1865 Editor Delaware County "News". -- ????

Camp Chase, as you no doubt know, has been the recruiting rendezvous of Ohio recruits since last call for volunteers, therefore it has been quite a stirring, place since the commencement of the great influx of "rah" recruits, ?? full regiments of which have been organized and sent to the field, another leaves to-day, and the arrivals have not yet entirely ceased.

A nobler body of men has not responded to their country's call then these same new recruits, and to them it is hoped may be assigned the honor of assisting in giving a quietus to this rebellion. So may it be.

Sickness prevails to some extent in camp, more among the new recruits. One man of the 88th, two recruits and one paroled man, all died a few days since from the effects of either drinking too great a quantity of rotten whiskey or from poison therein. They took a spree one day and the next day died.

Intemperance, however, does not prevail extensively in camp. Three thousand prisoner have been forwarded from here for exchange, in lots of 500 each, under charge of portions of the 88th. -- Those desirous of taking the oath of allegiance are transferred to a separate prison. about 2,300 have signified that desire two companies of which have already been mustered into the U.S. service, uniformed, and sent to Chicago for Rocky Mountain service. They seem well pleased with their new situation, but were quite anxious to know whether they would get enough to eat.

About 6,000 prisoners still remain 500 of which leave tomorrow for exchange. About 1,000 paroled men in camp not yet exchanged. They are becoming, "weary of their monotonous life in this "fenced city" of barracks. May they soon be relieved.

The 88th has just been called to mourn the irreparable loss of its beloved Surgeon, Major Longwell, who died on Sunday last after a brief illness. The proper escort of four companies with reversed arms and band with muffled drums paid their last respects to the deceased yesterday morning as he was being conveyed from his office here to the depot at Columbus, where his remains were taken to the place of interment, near Eden, Delaware county. His wife was also conveyed from here at the same time in a critical state of health. Brevet Brigadier Gen. Richardson is still in command here, and under his orders camp is now undergoing a thorough "clean up" and everything is going on smoothly and happily. Not wishing to be tedious, I will refrain from further details I am, very respectfully, Yours, &c. J.P. Preston"

March 23, 1865: Delaware County News March 23,1865--------------------- "Dr. Albert Longwell, for several years a resident of this place, where he was very highly esteemed for his many noble qualities of both head and heart, died at Camp Chase, Ohio on Sunday afternoon last of typhus malaria. He leaves a widow and two most promising little boys, together with an extended circle of relatives and acquaintances to mourn their irreparable loss." "At the time of his death Dr. Longwell was Surgeon of the 88th O.V.I. and was also acting as Post Surgeon at Camp Chase. He was a most faithful officer, kind to his patients, administering to their wants with a gentle hand always pleasant and cheerful, having a joke to crack with all. The sick were always glad when the hour arrived for him to make his rounds. He invariably came in laughing, and would say to the boys, "Well, in a day or two more I will have you on your "pins" again, and then I, will excuse you, and let you go home for a few days," His pleasant manner and talk cured far more of the "blue coats" than did the medicine in the pills, powders and liquids. Never was a Surgeon so highly esteemed by the soldiers nor one so much like a father to them as was Dr. L., at the Post previously." "But two short weeks since while down at Camp Chase, I called upon my noble friend who had been so kind, and nursed me so tenderly while in the Post Hospital last fall, and whose many virtues will ever be green in my memory, and found him in the enjoyment of good health though kept very busy, owing to the large amount of sickness. Now he is gone to another and no doubt better world.- How inscrutable are the ways of Providence and past finding out. L."

March 24, 1865: Delaware Gazette (Three articles) " Tribute of Respect.- At a meeting of the medical officers on duty at Camp Chase, Ohio, March 19th, 1865, called in view of the death of Major Albert Longwell, Surgeon of the 88th Regiment O.V.I., and Post Surgeon., the following resolutions were unanimously approved: Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God to remove by death our honored Superior, Major Albert Longwell, Surgeon of the 88th Regiment O.V.I. and Surgeon of this Post; therefore,

Resolved, That we deplore as a public calamity the death of one whose sphere of usefulness, present and prospective, was so wide.

Resolved, That while we feel deeply afflicted by this visitation of Divine Providence, we take pleasure in recording our sense of the personal and professional worth of the deceased, and in joining to honor the memory of one who, as an officer, was ever kind and considerate towards those under his command, especially to the private soldiers under his care, and whose practice of manly and Christian virtues was such as to endear him to all with whom he was associated.

Resolved, That the cause of our country becomes doubly dear to us by reason of such noble men who have, in the unflinching discharge of their duty, given up their lives a sacrifice to secure to us and to coming generations the blessings of righteous Liberty and good government.

Resolved, That while we condole with the afflicted family of our deceased friend, we can rejoice with them in those expressions of Christian resignation which marked his last illness, and which give us good reason to hope that our loss is his eternal gain.

Resolved, That we transmit a copy of these resolutions to the family of the deceased, and that we request their publication in the Ohio State Journal and in the Delaware Gazette. John W. Finley, Chairman. J.F. Brown, Secretary.

also.... "DEATH OF DR. LONGWELL.- Dr. Albert Longwell, Surgeon of the 88th Regiment O.V.I. and Post Surgeon at Camp Chase, died last Sunday, after a brief illness, of typhoid fever. He was a young man of great promise in his profession, and was universally esteemed by those who knew him. He was a native of this county, and before entering the military service a resident and practicing physician of our town. He was formerly Surgeon of the 4th Ohio Regiment, and few Surgeons in the service stand higher with those under their professional charge than did Dr. L. with the officers and men of the 4th and 88th. His remains were interred at Eden, the place of his birth, Monday afternoon. - Mrs. Dr. Longwell died at 10:45 a.m. yesterday, at the residence of Hon. Jas. R. Hubbell, in this place. She accompanied the remains of her husband from Columbus Monday morning, and being too sick to be taken to the home of her parents, was removed to the residence of Mr. H., whose lady is sister of the late Dr. L., where she continued to sink rapidly till death ended her sufferings. Her disease was the same as that with which her husband died. Two small children are left orphans by this sad bereavement."
