Ninth Michigan Infantry
Pages 504-506

The Ninth Infantry was organized at Fort Wayne, near Detroit, in October, 1861. Its service was wholly with the army of the Cumberland. In the latter part of the year 1862 the regiment was complimented by General George H. Thomas in being detailed by him as special guard at his headquarters and Provost Guard for the Fourteenth Corps. The regiment continued on provost duty till mustered out of service September 15, 1865. While the regiment performed services of great value to the army and was more than once complimentarily mentioned in general orders, it was so situated that its casualties were reduced to the minimum. Company F, of this regiment was from Marshall. Samuel S. Bangs was first and Ephraim Marble second lieutenant. Bangs and Marble both became captains. Captain Marble is at this writing, July 26, 1912, living in Marshall at the advanced age of eighty-six years. He is one of the few surviving participants in the war with Mexico. July 13, 1862, six companies with a small force from other troops were captured at Murfreesboro, Tennessee, by the Confederate General Forest. Among the captured was Captain Marble, at that time a lieutenant, who was held a prisoner until the following November.
