Note:

The family story handed down from one generation to another was that Daniel Murphy found David's diary among David's things at the hospital and sold the diary to Isaac W. Smallwood. Isaac contacted David's father in 1865 & offered to sell the diary to Samuel. It is not known how much Samuel paid Isaac Smallwood for the diary but that diary has been in the Procuniar family for over 138 years.

Diary of David Procuniar of Dayton, Montgomery County., Ohio

Enlisted on the 14th of March, 1862, at Dayton for the 50th O.V.I.

On the 25th of the same month went to Camp Chase near the City of Columbus, Ohio, about the 1st of May. Three parts of Regiments were consolidated into one, and called the 61st O.V.I.

On the afternoon of May 27th our Regiment left Camp Chase and went to Columbus, where we got into the cars, and went to Bellaire.

Next morning we got there and crossed the Ohio River there and got into the cars of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail R and soon started (as we thought) toward Washington City.

Nothing of any consequence happened on the way, but we seen many nice sights along the Rail Road, and next morning early we stopped for a short time at the town of Piedmont, VA and at about 10 o'clk A.M. we arrived at New Creek Station without accident or anything strange occurring, but we had some pretty cold and hard sleeping on the floor of the freight cars in which we rode.

At New Creek we got out of the cars and stopped until evening, when we started on foot toward Romney.

After going a few miles we halted for the night in the woods and built fires and made ourselves as comfortable as possible.

Early next morning we were up and on the march again, and went eleven miles. We then stopped for dinner, and at 1 o'clock we again started on the tramp through a heavy rain, and not very light mud, and got to Romney at 5 in the evening.

We stopped in town, and each Company occupied an empty house - as there was plenty of them there then.

Next day we rested ourselves and looked around a little and, on the following day - Sunday June 1st, we left Romney for Moorefield - 25 miles, or more distant.

After going about seven miles, we encamped for the night, and this night it rained considerable on us. We stayed here until afternoon waiting for our wagons and tents to come up, and at 4 o'clock we were going again.

After going six miles we again halted for the night in a field. Some more rain fell to night, but at 8 A.M. we were once more jogging along toward Moorefield, and after several little stoppages, and a pretty hard time getting thro the mud toward night we arrived near our destination and again put up our tents and tried to make ourselves comfortable. This was June 3d. On the night of the 7th six companies of the Regiment were ordered to go to a town 12 miles off, called Petersburg, to help to hold it from an expected attack from the rebels.

So, near midnight we started for that place going over fences, fields, and roads and into mud up to knees.

Next morning we got to the town, after fording a creek near there but found no signs of any rebels about the place. While the Regt was encamped at Petersburg their first exploit was to "clean out" an extravagant Settler.

We stayed hear until June 17th when we returned to Moorefield, and before we got there we had to ford the South Branch of the Potomac three times up our middles in water.

While here our 2nd Lieutenant resigned and our first Lieutenant was promoted to a Captaincy in Co. I.

The same day we got to Moorefield we also left there and started over the mountains toward Strausburg some 56 miles from here.

We had a pretty hard tramp of it up the mountain roads, but we seen many beautiful sights of the country, while on the mountain tops.

On the 21st of June we got to Strausburg. This is a good sized town, but the houses are nearly all old wooden ones. The Shenandoah River runs close by here. There were many troops here under command of Gen'l Fremont at this time.

We encamped here a few days and, on the 24th we went a few miles further, to a little village called Middletown. Here we were in a Brigade commanded by Gen'l Clauserets, a french officer.

We were shortly after changed to the command of Gen'l Bohlen. We had a very nice camp here and stayed here until July 7th when we started on the march again, going toward Gordonsville. On the first days march many of the men gave out on account of the heat, and dusty roads.

Next day we passed through the town of Front Royal, and on the following evening we encamped in a field, and on the next one we encamped in a wheat field in sight of the town of Louray.

Early next morning we started on the tramp once more, and in the afternoon of July 11th we encamped in another wheat field (as we had done the night before) near the village of Sperryville.

Here we stopped for six weeks, and were drilled, and inspected, and maneuvered around to our hearts content. On the 8th of August we left Sperryville for Culpepper to reinforce Gen'l Banks who was then engaged with the rebels. The weather was very warm at this time and we were 24 hours going as many miles..

We got to the scene of action after the battle was over but we were got into position, so that if the rebels made another attack we would have a share in it. They did not come out again, however, and we came back from the battlefield a couple of miles, and stayed here until the morning of the 12th, when we went after the retreating rebels, who had left last night.

The battle here was a very severe one to both Unionists and rebels. We seen many dead and wounded here and as we passed over the ground lately occupied by the enemy we seen four dead rebels lying, side by side, and all of them were partly decomposed and smelled very disagreeable. After going 5 or six miles we again halted and stayed here until the morning of the 19th at 2 o'clock we started on the back track through Culpepper and toward Warrenton.

On the night of the 20th we stopped at White Sulphur Springs. Next day we went out toward the Rappahannock River as we heard heavy artillery firing in that direction.

That night we slept in the woods, not far from the River, and early next morning we were again moving in the direction of the firing again heard this morning.

At ten o'clock we got to the river and our artillery opened on the enemy, who were in sight on the other side of the stream. At about five o'clock P.M. our Regiment and Brigade crossed the river, but, soon the rebels came out in such overwhelming numbers that our brigade had to run back to this side of the river again on the double quick.

The rebels put their heads out of the woods, but our Jackass Battery soon caused them to disappear again.

Several of our Regiment got killed, or wounded at this place, which is known as "Freeman's Ford." Our Brigadier General Bohlen was killed here, among the rest. This was the 22nd of August.

Next morning we found that the rebels had moved up the river further during the night, and we moved further up also, and, near night got within sight of them again, and our artillery opened on them again. Darkness soon ended the artillery firing, but the infantry kept skirmishing in different places all night.

Next morning early we were at it again, our Regiment supporting a Battery for a few hours when we were ordered to double quick it past Sulphur Springs under rebel artillery fire from the opposite side of the river. That was soon done and the Regiment went on a few miles and had a fight with some of the enemy at Waterloo Bridge and then retreated toward Warrenton. That night we slept in the woods and did the same the next night.

Early, on the morning of the 25th we got into the town of Warrenton, and on the morning of the 27th we again started in the direction of Bull Run. That night we again slept in the woods, and early next morning we were once more on the march.

Today we overtook a good many rebel stragglers prisoner and at five o'clock in the afternoon we got within sight of the enemy at Bull Run and our artillery opened on them immediately- night soon closed the firing for the time, but early next morning the artillery again opened with a loud noise and continued all day with more or less fury - the rebs having to fall back all day. Our Regiment was skirmishing all day today and at night we slept near the battle field.

Next morning the fight commenced again at 8 o'clock and we supported a battery in the forenoon, and in the afternoon were deployed as skirmished. We drove the rebels all day, but at about five o'clock they came in on our left flank and our whole force was compelled to retreat to Centreville some 6 miles distant. Our Regiment was among the last to leave the battle field.

That night we slept wherever we got the chance between Bull Run and Centreville. We stayed here next day and that night we stood in line of battle all night in the rain.

Next night Monday, Sept 1st, we started on toward Fairfax Court House, but went so slow that we only got there at about ten o'clock A.M. and got dinner and then went on toward Arlington Heights, where we got at 9 at night. We stayed about this place until the 25th of September, when we went back to Fairfax Court House, where we got 4 months pay.

We stayed encamped here until the first of November.

On Nov. 2nd we went out past Centreville and over the Bull Run battle field toward "Thoroughfare Gap", the 61st in the advance.

While going over the battle ground we seen many of the rough graves of the fallen soldiers. Some had been so poorly covered that the feet - hands, and knees were in some places exposed to our view.

We got to the Gap in the evening without anything strange having taken place. It is a pretty wild looking place; here we stayed from November 3d until the 7th and we then went about 8 miles to a village called New Baltimore only five miles from Warrenton.

We had a severe snowstorm to day and had a pretty cold time of it while we stayed here which was until the afternoon of November the 17th, when we again started back toward Centreville.

We stopped at Gainesville this night, but, early in the morning, we were again on the march and got to Centreville at about 1 o'clock in the afternoon. The weather was very cold at this time and we had several snow storms during the time of our stay here.

On the 10th of December we once more started on the march toward Fredricksburg about 45 miles distant. After an awful hard march through the mud, we got near Falmouth on the evening of the l5th and found that we were too late, for the battle at that place was over, and Burnsides army got defeated and next day returned to this side of the river.

On the morning of the 17th Sigels Corps moved back about ten miles to Stafford Court House, and our Brigade to Aquia Creek. We stayed in this camp from Dec. 18th until January 20th/63.

We once more started for Fredricksburg by another direction than the one we went before. In the forepart of the day the marching was pretty good, but in the evening the rain came down pretty freely, and the movement of the army became an impossibility. Rain and snow fell at times for two weeks and we had to stay almost where we stopped the first night.

On the fifth of February we started to return to Stafford C. H. We only went about half way on that day, and the next one it was awful "sloppy'. However, we got near our destination and again encamped.

Next day we received two months pay. We are still encamped here on this day March the 20th 1863.

"THE GIRL I LEFT BEHIND ME"

Whenever I turn to view the place; The tears doth fall and blind me; When I think on the charming grace

Of the girl I left behind me. Oh, we're a hardy band of men; We fear not death not dangers; We're for the Union to a man

A gallant set of Rangers.

Chorus:

Hurrah, hurrah, for the "sixty first" 'Tis thus you'll ever find them True to their Country, flag, and home

And the girl they've left behind them.

Our officers are brave and true, As well as noble hearted, We're joined to the heart and hand

And hope to never be parted.

Chorus:

Hurrah, hurrah, for the "seventy third" 'Tis thus you'll ever find them, True to their Country, flag and home

And the girls they've left behind them.

We show no mercy to the wrong, Nor rebels when we meet them, We give no quarter, nor retreat,

But with traitor's chains we'll bind them.

Chorus:

Hurrah, hurrah for the "thirty third" Their wives and children we'll protect, And strive to never oppress them, And if injustice has been wrought We'll speedily redress them.

Then three rousing cheers for the "7th" We hope to never be parted, You'll find us ever brave and true, As well as noble hearted.

Chorus:

Hurrah, hurrah for the "thirty first", And if upon the field of death, Our soldier cloaks shall winds us

Remember life was freely given, For the darling ones behind us. Ye wives and sweet hearts far at home, We pray you all to mind us, Alas, we've more of grief than joy In leaving you behind us.

Chorus:

Then shed a tear for the gallant 12th, If thus in death you find them, Who fought for Country, flag, and home

And the girls they left behind them. Pray oft' that God may keep us safe, Whose hearts for home are swelling, That the girls we've left may welcome back Their lost to every dwelling.

Chorus:

Then three rousing cheers, a "tiger" for the "Buckeye Boys", May oppression never grind them

But peace and union bring them back, To the girls they left behind them. The rest of this page has names as follows:
