Excerpt from First Semi-Annual Report of the Refugee Relief Commission of Ohio: Cincinnati, O., November, 1864 The Refugee Relief Commission of Ohio, at Cincinnati, was organized March 10th, 1864, and the following officers were elected: George F. Davis, President, D. B. Pierson, Vice-President, John D. Caldwell, Secretary, B. F. Brannan, Treasurer, James Dalton, T. G. Odiorne, S. C. Newton, Calvin WStarbuck S S. Davis, W. H. Harrison, A. J. Trounstine, Henry Kessler, Thomas Gilpin, A. D. E. Tweed, John Carlisle, Executive Committee. The object of this association is to afford aid to refugees, whose homes have been destroyed by the effects of war, or who, from the necessity of obeying military orders, were obliged to seek aid and homes among strangers. Previous to its organization, attention had been called to the necessity of such work by Col. Taylor, Agent of the East Tennessee Relief Association, who, in passing through this city on his way north, made known the deplorable condition of hundreds of noble men and women of that section of the State, who had firmly resisted the authority and tyranny of the rebel government, and arrayed themselves on the side of the old flag, even against neighbors and friends, and who for their loyalty had been deprived of property and homes before their friends of the North could come with armies to their assistance. A meeting was at that time called by the National Union Association, addresses made, and an amount of money raised for these truly loyal people.
