Web Writer's Notes:
This website possesses the original discharge documents for all soldiers in Company K of the 90-day regiment and all have been scanned and are available for viewing, below. The documents were handed down from Captain Milton Mills, great great grandfather of the author of this website and who was captain of Company K. These documents were issued to the soldiers when they were mustered out or discharged at the end of their term of service. A copy was given to the soldier and another made and kept by the regiment, in this case, the Captain of the company.

The 16th Ohio, including the soldiers, below, was the first regiment to cross into Confederate territory, western Virginia at the time, at the start of the war.
