Officer DeWitt C Howard and Howard's Rifles in Civil War
Elyria's Capt DeWitt C Howard led early volunteers known as Howard's Rifles. They joined Co K of the 23rd Ohio Infantry and fought in western Virginia. Rumors of theft and enemy trading were proven false, and Howard earned praise for actions at Blue Ridge while later serving with the 103rd. He recruited loyal Georgians for a Union regiment, faced rumors of absence without leave, but a Grant field order and a War Department investigation upheld his honor and granted back pay before final discharge.
