RECORD OF INDIANA VOLUNTEERS IN THE SPANISH AMERICAN WAR
1898-1899

157th Regiment - Officers |
(22)
The 157th Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry was formed of the 3d Regiment of Infantry, Indiana National Guard, and
was composed of companies from Knox, Fort Wayne (two), Goshen, North Manchester, Elkhart, South Bend,
Angola, Waterloo, Auburn, Ligonier and Plymouth.
The regiment arrived at Camp Mount April 26, 1898, under orders from
the Governor, for the purpose of being mustered into the service of the United States. The work of preparing for muster
was necessarily slow, as all officers and men had to pass a
physical examination, and-be accepted by the surgeons, before they would be accepted by the United States officers.
The regiment was mustered into the Volunteer Service on May 10, 1898, and left for Camp Thomas, Chickamauga Park, Georgia, on Sunday, May 15, and on arriving there May 17, went into camp; left Camp Thomas June 1, for Port Tampa City, Florida, and arrived there on June 3; left Port Tampa City, July 29, for Fernandina, Florida, arriving there July 30; remained at Fernandina until August 30, when it was ordered to Indianapolis, for muster out of service, where it arrived on September 2, was furloughed for 30 days on September 10, and was finally mustered out and discharged November 1, 1898.
