Introduction
This collection was donated to the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in 1958 by Mrs. H. Shields of Cleveland, Ohio. This collection is part of the larger Special Collection 1, containing a number of Civil War manuscript collections.
Biographical Sketch
Michael Deady was born July 24, 1841 in Aurora, Ohio. The family moved to Solon, Ohio, where Deady farmed. He enlisted as a private in Company A of the 23rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry on May 18, 1861. He was discharged on a surgeon’s certificate of disability February 26, 1863. Following his discharge, Deady returned to Ohio and married in 1867. He then moved to Hudson, Ohio, where he was employed by W. B. Straight and Son until the company was sold. Deady then traveled as a mechanic for The Harvester Company of Akron, Ohio. Following the death of his wife (1916), Deady lived with his daughter, Mrs. H. Shields in Cleveland, Ohio until his death in 1924.
Scope and Content
The collection consists of two small leather-bound diaries kept by Deady during his Civil War service and the months following his discharge (1862 and 1863); Deady’s discharge certificate; Roster of the Surviving Members of the Twenty-Third Regiment, O.V.V.I. dated August 1896; and an envelope with a Union image imprint are also part of this collection.
The diaries contain nearly daily entries, beginning January 7, 1862 through December 31, 1862 and from January 1, 1863 to November 14, 1863.
Deady’s short entries consist of reports of weather, marches, camp activities, battle actions, and casualties of Company A. Deady noted his return to Ohio on furlough in early January 1863 and his discharge, given at Camp Chase, February 26, 1863. Returning to Solon, Deady recorded his travels to neighboring towns, visits with friends, his work, and the frequent loss of time due to illness. In the final pages of the 1863 diary, Deady recorded the names of correspondents and dates of their letters. He also listed the names of those individuals to whom he wrote and the dates on which his letters were written. The inventory contains a transcript of Deady’s 1862 and 1863 diaries prepared by Bowling Green State University student Jacci Penrose (2007).
