Philip Krumm, Civil War Veteran Infantry
The Story of the 133rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry
Part I – A Call To Action
Several Krumm family members served their country during the Civil War. Louis Krumm, an older brother to Philip, enlisted with the 95th Ohio Volunteer Infantry (OVI) August 13,1862 and served 3 years. Serving with Louis in the 95th was Philip’s future brother-in-law, Daniel Young, of Licking County. Richard Young, another brother-in-law to Philip, served his country three years. He first served with the 76th OVI and then the 186th OVI. Frederick Krumm, who was the oldest son of Martin Krumm, Jr. and a nephew to Philip, enlisted with the 37th OVI, in August of 1861, served until January 1863, and achieved the rank of Captain before his discharge. In later years, he would often be referred to a “Captain” Frederick Krumm.
The Civil War had already been fought for just over three years when Philip Krumm, at the age of 23, enlisted in the 133rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry on May 2, 1864. Joining Philip in service to their country with the 133rd OVI were older brother Joseph, younger brother Harmon, brother-in-law John Stelzer and two other Stelzer family members, Daniel and Adam. They would serve their country for 100 days.
In April 1864, newly elected Ohio Governor John Brough, a staunch supporter of President Lincoln and the war, held a convention with five states participating, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The purpose of this convention was to rally support for the war effort. The governors of these five states pledged 85,000 men for 100 days service. These men would be responsible for guarding forts, garrisons, and railways thus freeing up the veteran troops to fight the rebel resistance. Of the 85,000 volunteers, Governor Brough pledged 30,000 from Ohio. The offer was presented to President Lincoln on April 21,1864 and upon the President’s acceptance, Governor Brough advised Ohio Adjutant General, B. R. Cowen, to begin the process of rallying the troops. On April 25, 1864, the following appeared in nearly every press throughout the state:
General Headquarter, State of Oho Adjutant-General’s Office Columbus, April 25, 1864.
General Order No. 12.
The regiments, battalions and independent companies of infantry of the National Guard of Ohio, are hereby called into active service for the term of one hundred days unless sooner discharged. They will be clothed, armed, equipped, transported and paid by the United States Government.
These organizations will rendezvous at the most eligible places in their respective counties (the place to be fixed by the commanding officer and to be on a line of railroad if practicable) on Monday, May 2nd 1864, and report by telegraph at 4 o’clock P. M. of same day, the number present for duty.
The alacrity with which all calls for the military of the state have been heretofore met furnishes the surest guaranty that the National Guard will be prompt to assemble at the appointed time.
Our armies in the field are marshaling for a decisive blow, and the citizen soldiery will share the glory of the crowning victories of the campaign, by relieving our valiant regiments from post and garrison duty to allow them to engage in the more arduous labors of the field.
By order of the Governor.
R. B. Cowen, Adjutant General.
On May 2,1864, volunteers began gathering at the rendezvous area. By 7 o’clock, Ohio notified Secretary of War Stanton, that more than thirty thousand were present for muster. By 9:30 o’clock, thirty-eight thousand had showed up. First Sergeant Sylvester M. Sherman of the 133rd, Company G, would later write “The feeling seemed to be that we were called for a special purpose and that the emergency was something beyond any which had yet presented itself, and all seemed to feel the importance of it”.
