MILITARY: Soldiers and Patriots Biographical Album printed in 1892
.John Ohlweiler, a member of the firm of Carse & Ohlweiler, the most extensive bottlers of mineral waters at Rock Island, Illinois, is a native of Rheinduerckheim, Hassen-Darmstadt, Germany, where he was born February 2, 1843. He spent his boyhood days at Bechtsheim, where he attended school up to his 16th year, and the following year he set out for the New World, landing in New York from whence he came directly to Rock Island, Illinois. Here he followed the trade of cooper up to the time he went forward in battle for the preservation of his newly adopted country. He was mustered into service at Camp Douglas July 22,1862 Company D. 71st Illinois Infantry. The regiment soon moved to Mound City, Illinois where it was engaged in guarding the marine hospital and the government arsenal, and upon completion of its term of service returned to Chicago, where hewas mustered out November 22, 1862. Mr Ohlweiler returned to Rock Island, and re-enlisted February 18, 1864, Company D 12th Illinois Infantry. After rendeavousing at Camp McClellen, Chicago Illinois, they were ordered to Pulaski, Tenn., later dispatched to Chattanooga, Tenn., marching onward and encountering the enemy in a hot conflict at Rome's Cross Roads, Georgia. Forward-skirmishing nearly day up to the time they participated in the Battle of Big Shanty. Onward-they pressed-without delay, wading the Chattachoockie River, then moving on toward Atlanta, Georgia, their march being constantly interrupted with lively skirmishes. July 22 commemorated that bloody battle of Atlanta. During this conflict his command was assigned to the left flank, where it guarded a supply train, and where in a desperate hand to hand combat with the notorious rebel corps under Hardee, who were determined to capture the provisions. On this occasion our subject suddenly encountered a rebel lying in a ditch with loaded and cocked gun, just about to take the fatal aim when through the alert movements of young Ohlweiler, "who got the drop on him" - he was forced to surrender. Victory had barely crowned these gallant services in the desperate hand to hand conflict when the Brigade was ordered to the right, in double quick, to recapture the breastworks, which the enemy had taken from the 15th Corps, and heroically, they took them. The Brigade, being largely armed with the famous Henry rifles, brought out the expression from the Rebels, "those damn yanks load all night and shoot all day." After lying on their arms all night, they again opened firing at 2 a.m., continuing within ten feet of the breastworks until daybreak, when the enemy surrendered. Then commenced the sad work of digging ditches and burying the dead. July 28th they fought the battle of Ezra Church, Georgia. For the ensuing four weeks they were engaged in almost constant skirmishing, the bullets literally razing all the bushes and small trees about them. During August the "boys" were actively engaged in the seige of Atlanta, then the battle of Jonesboro, and subsequently Ohlweiler's command of only 161 muskets, was suddenly ordered to Alatoona Pass, where the rebels under Hood were about to obtain access to the large supply of crackers stored there. Here our soldiers participated in one of the hardest and most stubbornly fought battles in the annals of the war, General Carse having been thrice wounded, and Ohlweiler's small command of 161 gallant heroes losing nearly half their number in killed and wounded. November 11th the army started on the "march to the sea," capturing about 900 prisoners on its route, and arriving at Savannah, Georgia in due time. For the period of a week the boys were quite destitute of rations and lived solely on rice, which they gathered in bundles in the surrounding territory, brought into camp, threshed out the kernels and made their porridge. At Savannah, Mr. Ohlweiler, with a detail of about 100, were ordered to guard prisoners, about 800 in number, and take them to Hilton Head. Subsequently the command joined the army in the famous march thru the Carolinas, during which time Mr. Ohlweiler was detailed as forager for his company~("a bummer"). (Every man in the war wanted to be a "bummer." They considered it fun and frolic.) Onward the victorious "boys" marched, through almost bottomless swamps and across rivers, finally joining the "Grand Review" at Washington, where the Western Army was received amid the deafening paeans of victory. Our subject was mustered out at Louisville, Ky., July 10, 1865 and received final pay and discharge July 18th at Springfield, III. After gallantly following the fortunes of war, Mr. Ohlweiler returned to Rock Island, where he resumed his former calling. Later he established himself in the grocery trade, and subsequently entered into his present business, in which his labors have honorably been crowned with success. Mr. Ohlweiler was marriedOctober 23, 1867 at Rock Island, to Anna Ehlers, a native of Schleswig- Holstein, Germany. He is a member of the G.A.R., also the I.O.O.F. Lodge. Politically, and as a citizen, he has held many positions of truth and honor.He is president of the Rock Island Turners, President of the German-English School Society; President of the State Liquor Dealers Association, and also President of the District Board of Association. He has been a member of theCity Council; in 1891 he received the Democratic nomination by acclamation for Mayor of his city, and is at present Chairman of the Democratic County Comm. A thoroughly self-made man, he has demonstrated what integrity and preserverance can accomplish.
