43 HISTORY OF THE SEVENTY-EIGHTH REGIMENT O.V.V.I.
Lieutenant S. A. DeWolf was above middle age, and a resident of Gambier, Licking County, and a man noted for piety, and Christian integrity. His health gave way soon after entering the service, and after every effort on his part to arrest disease, he was compelled to resign his commission and leave the service, which took place at Bolivar, Tenn.
Sergeant Humphrey A. McDonald, of "F" company, was promoted to Second Lieutenant and assigned to Company "I." He was a young man of liberal attainments, and very good education, and consistent upright character. He was afterwards promoted to First Lieutenant and detailed as A. A. A. General of the Second Brigade, Third Division, Seventeenth Army Corps, but through ill health was compelled to muster out at Goldsboro, N. C., and leave the service. When he was first promoted to Second Lieutenant he was detailed by General John A. Logan, as A. A. Q. M. of the Pioneer Corps, Third Division, and subsequently assisted Lieutenant J. T. Story in the command of Company "C." At Vicksburg, in December, 1863, he was appointed Regimental Recruiting Officer, to superintend the enlistment of veterans, which position he filled with honor to himself and credit to the regiment. Lieutenant William H. Hessin was promoted to Captain, Sergeant David M. Watson to First Lieutenant, and Sergeant Simon P. Joy, of "D" company to Second Lieutenant, and assigned to Company "I." All noble young men, good and efficient officers and exemplary in conduct; and returned to their friends with characters better framed and steeled against temptation.
