American Civil War
SIXTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
From the red Book of Michigan:
" At Peeble's Farm, or Poplar Grove Church, the regiment also became most signally distinguished. At 3 o'clock A. M., September 30, the 5th corps moved to the left until*; reached near an old church in the woods, where sharp skirmishing began. The 3d brigade was got into line for a charge—the 83d Pennsylvania, temporarily in command of Major B. F. Partridge, of the 16th Michigan; 32d Massachusetts, commanded by Colonel. Edmunds, and the 16th Michigan, commanded by the lamented Welch, advancing on the works on Peeble's Farm, the 16th Michigan having the center, striking the angle of the fort first, climbing the works, and engaging the enemy in a hand to hand fight for some time
