Original data: Data compiled by Historical Data Systems of Kingston, MA from the following list of works. Copyright 1997-2009 Historical Data Systems, Inc. PO Box 35 Duxbury, MA 02331. Fort Wayne Newspaper, September 5, 1916. The 129th Indiana Regiment The veteran boys in blue of the 129th Indiana regiment, known to fame on a dozen battlefields of the civil war as "Hovey's Babies" on account of their youth and diminutive stature, will hold their annual reunion at Larwill, Indiana, on Thursday of this week. A pitiful reminder of how the ranks are thinning is contained in the reunion notices sent out by Adjutant W. S. Smith, in which he makes the following appeal; "Be sure and come as we cannot meet many more times, as the boys are dropping off. Please make a special effort to come and oblige." Company B of the old regiment was recruited in Fort Wayne and many of the survivors reside in this city. The following comrades are members of the regimental association, and it is hoped as many of them as can do so, will attended the reunion Thursday. Lieutenant Cyrus Fike, Lieut. Jasper Tilbury, Louis Slaudruf, W. B. McMaken, Frank McKinnie, Casper Conrad, Wesley Bilderbach, Elias Hartzell, Joshua Hartzell, Albert Carte, Samuel Curtis, Louis Zollinger. All served in Company B, with the exception of Mr. Zollinger, who was in the 142nd Indiana regiment, but on account of being a brother of Col. Charles A. Zollinger of the 129th and has been elected to honorary membership in his famous brother's command. This regiment was mostly composed of boys from fifteen to eighteen years of age. Not a private soldier in it was of voting age, and the great majority of the rank and file were school boys in appearance, but fighters everyone, as their foes on many battlefields of the south will testify. It was commanded by Colonel Zollinger, of Fort Wayne. Organized in the spring of 1864 it was rushed to the front in time to participate in the advance on Atlanta, participating in the series of battles and skirmishes where for three months the rattle of small arms and boom of cannon never ceased along the lines. The One Hundred and Twenty-ninth was attached to the Twenty-third army corps under General Sherman. After the fall of Atlanta the regiment was assigned to General George H. Thomas' command and began the campaign against General John B. Hood and his forces through Tennessee. The battles of Columbia , Franklin and Nashville ended in a signal triumph for the Union cause, as the confederate army was sent headlong in disastrous route, never again offering organized resistance to the federals. The regiment later took part in the campaign through the Carolinas and joined the army of Sherman at Raleigh, N. C., April 26. General Joseph E. Johnston surrendered his confederate forces to Sherman at Durham station, thus ending four years of bloody warfare. The command of Colonel Zollinger, which had covered itself with glory, was mustered out of the United States service and returned to Indiana in the fall of 1865. Its record is one that every member can feel.....(top op page missing).."Hovey's Babies", so called because they were in General Hovey's division, could battle for the union most effectively even if the arms they carried were in many instances longer than the useful soldiers who bore them. One of the most interesting ceremonies at the Larwill reunion Thursday will be the presentation of the splendid picture of Colonel Charles A. Zollinger, of Fort Wayne. This gift was pledged at the reunion last year at Auburn. It was completed and displayed for a time in the window of Rurode's store on Calhoun street. Colonel Zollinger is represented in full uniform of his rank, and the picture is a speaking likeness of the fighting commander, whose brilliant service brought added glory to Fort Wayne.
