CAPTAIN LUCIUS DOOLITTLE-CO. G

This page is dedicated to Captain Doolittle. All the photos are courtesy of his great-grandson Jim Heilman and family, except where noted.

Lucius Doolittle, the highly respected commander of Co. G,  joined the 15th Ohio on September 9, 1861. Promoted to 2nd Lt. on July 1, 1862--1st Lt. on March 18, 1864 and Captain on January 18, 1865. He mustered out with the Company in Texas on November 21, 1865.

This Reunion Photo was taken in 1902. Lucius Doolittle can be seen standing on the far left of the photo.

Using clues found in the original picture, we were able to identify the site of this Reunion Photo as being taken on Snodgrass Hill, just to the left of the cabin that served as General Thomas's Headquarters. Jim Ogden, chief historian at Chickamauga N.M.P., confirmed the location. (Photo by Robert Bundy)

This flag was made by the wives of the veterans of Co. G including Mrs. Lucius Doolittle. (Photo received-August 8, 2009)
