!S.P. May p.501 Mr Sears studied law, but abandoned the profession for trade; enlisted in 11th OH Battery in 1861; was commissioned 1st Lt, and later Lt COl 11th LA Vols (colored), and served until mustered out at the end of the war. Is now in mercantile business at Fowler, Wyandotte co., OH !Deeds of Valor Vol 1, Ed:WF Beyer p.92: At Iuka (19 Sep 1862, Union forces entrenched at Corinth on the Tennessee River)the Eleventh Ohio Battery under my command made a most desperate fight, which was not only 'full measure, pressed down and overflowing,' but in which it lost, in kiled and wounded, over 52 percent of its entire force and over 88 percent of its combatants or cannoneers-or forty eight out of fifty-four men. "The part taken by this battery in the field was in violation of orders. When we reached a point just south of its battle ground-which was done under pretty heavy fire from the enemy's artillery and infantry- I was ordered to 'form in battery' at a point designated, and await further orders. These orders never came, but the enemy did, in force, sneaking up with their pieces at 'cahrge bayonets,' in plain view and at easy canister range. Though just then there was a comparitive lull in the enemy's firing, their bullets were s-s-z-z-z-ipping among the battery with very uncomfortable freuency, and occaisonally winging a two or four-footed victim. On the cahrging masses came, 150 or 200 yards. Still the battery was waiting for 'further orders,' every man at his post, toeing the mark, with everything 'ready' under fire. "Of course, this wait was not actually long, though it seemed longer than the whole fight. Naturally, the boys grew uneasy, and chafed from seeing such splendid chances for the most beautiful pot-shot going to waste, and gave expression to views on the conduct of the war accordingly. For example, one sergeant said "By God, I guess we're going to let them gobble the whole damned shooting match before we strike a lick, if we don't mind and quickly too. A corporal replied, I guess we are obeying orders. I gave the order: "With canister, load, aim low, and give them hell as fast as you can!' And so the fight was on. Before the end it became evident that the position of the guns of this battery had become so much the bone of contention in that fight, that everything else, both flags, the Union and Confederacy, and even the 'damned nigger' were forgotten in that all-absorbing, handspike and ramrod, rough and tumble, devil-take-the-hindmost fight for those six guns. I was wounded, and after the battle was ordered home to Ohio for repairs. In recalling the fight, Lt Cyrus Sears quotes the following from the report of General Rosecrans: "The enemy's line of infantry now moved forward on the battery, coming up from the woods on our right on the Fifth Iowa, while a brigade showed itself on our left and attempted to cross the road toward Colonel Puiczel. The battle became furious. Our battery poured a deadly fire upon the enemy's column advancing up the road, while musketry concentrated upon it soon killed or wounded most of the horses. When within one hundred yards they received a volley from our entire line. The enemy penetrated the battery, were repulsed; again returned, were agan repulsed, and finally bore down upon it with a column of three regiments, this time carrying the battery. Many of the cannoneers were knocked out with ramrods and handspikes in the hands of the batterymen. Sands' Eleventh Ohio Battery, under Lt Sears, was served with unequaled bravery under circumstances of danger and exposure such as rarely, perhaps never, have fallen to the lot of a single battery during the war.

Medal of Honor Recipients 1863-1978, 14 Feb 1979; BNS News Service from CT State Library; p 213 Date of Issue: 31 Dec 1892. Citation: Although severly wounded, fought his battery until the cnanoneers and horses were nearly all killed or wounded.
