John Fishbaugh from Pickaway or Ross County served 3 years in the 88th. Was briefly detached to 131st OVI. He had a son after the war. Arthur has been described as a sucessful business man who died in his Thirties. Arthur left 2 sons, Norris & Arley. Norris had one daughter. I am trying to research John's family background.

Isaac enlisted the 88th Ohio Volunteer Infantry in the Civil War on 1 Oct 1962 along with his brother Jacob. Another brother, Peter, would joined them within a year. Isaac contracted what was diagnosed as phthisis pulmonalis while in Cincinnati, Ohio in October 1863. The modern name for this disease is tuberculosis. He was subsequently discharged on 12 Aug 1864 at Camp Chase, Ohio. He returned to Union County, Ohio and spent his life as a farmer.

Jacob served in the 88th Ohio Volunteer Infantry in the Civil War, enlisting 1 Oct 1862 at the same time as his brother Isaac. He was mustered out with the company on 3 Jul 1865, but had spent a significant amount of time in the hospital and sick in quarters, suffering from chronic bronchitis and rheumatism. He would continue to suffer from these aliments for the rest of his life, to the extent of having to go on public support in 1883. He had moved to Marshall County, Indiana by 1869, and on to Gratiot County, Michigan around 1870, evidently right after getting married.
