Lake, Jarvis N.
1. From Genevieve White's Master's Thesis:
Preble County During the Civil War, 1944 (page 43) Located Camden [Ohio] Archives

Ninety-third Ohio Volunteer Infantry
Two companies from the county were in this famous infantry which served bravely at
Stone River, Chickamauga, Brown's Ferry, Orchard Knob, Mission Ridge, Resaca, Kennesaw
Mountain, Atlanta, Jonesborough, Franklin, and Nashville75.

The young school teacher who wrote, "who would not be a soldier, if only to see the
world!76"

... had seen much new territory by 1865, when he wrote, "The 93d has trudged and
tramped for over two years, without setting foot, as a command, on car or steamboat77."

In the latter part of 1863, he had expressed his approval of Buell's displacement and
Rosecrans' appointment. His letter was one of many published in the Register which lauded
this change. The general complaint against Buell was ...

We have reason to feel while we have been marching very hard day and night, that it has all
been for some other purpose than that of subduing the enemies of our country78.

A captain in the 57th Indiana reported fewer desertions after Rosecrans had taken the command.
He explained the desertions under Buell's command by the fact that the boys thought they were
led by an incompetent man or one who was a "traitor to the cause he espoused."

Granville had 6 children, Edith, John, Granville Jr, Caroline, Merle, and Neil.
"I am the great-great-granddaughter of Granville M Flenner. "He did not die as you have posted on your site. In fact he was captured in Lexington KY, where the commander of the POW camp turned out to be a fellow fraternity brother from the same University. The commander had Granville's wounds tended to then had him escape with a letter for the commander's girlfriend up in Ohio. Granville lived a long life outliving a daughter and helping to raise my grandfather.
 
This story can be documented in the Sigma Chi Fraternity Journal Sept/Oct 1930 and the local paper at Miami of Ohio. I have original copies of each and a copy of Granville's diary recounting the adventure."

From Chickamauga, 1863, his diary entry stated: “ Sept. 20, Sunday. Battle renewed. Shells and shot fall fast into the hospital.. Col Buckingham of the 6 Ky. Killed and several tents torn and burned by shells. Compelled to suspend operations in consequence.”

 

“Sept. 21. Federal army defeated and retreating, pursued by the enemy.

Nose, Ben
Benjamin J. Noes was born Dec. 11, 1841 and died March 20, 1908, aged 66 yrs.  He was a charter member of the John Campbell Post No. 204, G.A.R. of Harrison, Ohio.  His pallbearers included 4 other veterans of Co. F:  A.C. Morgan, Alfred Demoret, Samuel Pickens, and Reuben Ogg.  The other two pallbearers were members of the same G.A.R. Post: Taylor Hawk and Philip Corbin.  The Post placed a small newspaper notice in the local paper in honor of "Our Departed Comrade."  
 
Benjamin left a widow, Lavina Province Noes, who lived on until 1937 (she was 91).  They had 2 daughters and 6 sons. 

Nose lived in Crosby Township, Butler Co., Hamilton, Ohio; Buried in New Haven cemetery (same location).

Note on the name:  The U.S. Army & gov't records have him recorded as Nose , but in actuality the family name is Noes.  Just to confuse matters more, though, many family members spelled it Knose.  As the family was from Lancaster Co. PA ("Penn-Dutch" country), and probably from Germany long before that, this latter spelling with the "K" seems to be the most likely original spelling.
