During the Winter of 1862-63, a law was passed by the Ohio Legislature, organizing the militia so as to drill the entire militia force of the State, including every able-bodied man between the age of eighteen and forty-five, to be armed, uniformed and equipped so as to be instantly available in case of invasion. This was the nucleus of the "National Guards of Ohio," the next year to be thrown into the field on two days' notice, 35,000 one hundred days' men. Under this law, 3,631 militia were enrolled in this county - below we give the election of officers in these companies, so far as can be learned:

Paris Township, East District- Captain, L. Sellers - First Lieutenant, Leonard Geer - Second Lieutenant, G. A. Fox. West District.-Captain, W. H. Doll; First Lieutenant, W. P. Welsh; Second Lieutenant, Robert Snodgrass
