The regiment arrived at Camp Mount April 26, 1898, under orders from the Governor, for the purpose of being mustered into the service of the United States. The work of preparing for muster was necessarily slow, as all officers and men had to pass a physical examination, and be accepted by the surgeons, before they would be accepted by the United States officers.

The regiment was mustered into the Volunteer Service on May 10, 1898, and left for Camp Thomas, Chichamauga Park, Georgia, on Sunday, May 15, and on arriving there May17, went into camp; left Camp Thomas June 1, for Port Tampa City, Florida, and arrived there on June 3; left Port Tampa City, July 29, for Fernandina, Florida, arriving there July 30, when it was ordered to Indianapolis, for muster out of service, where it arrived on September 2, was furloughed for 30 days on September 10, and was finally mustered out and discharged November 1, 1898........

Company I of the Third Regiment as organized at Waterloo, DeKalb County, on September 15, 1879 and was assigned as Company A, Third Infantry, .........Levi L. Denison was Captain.........Wilson H. Denison, second lieutenant....Although it had no opportunity of facing the enemy, the officers and men showed a good spirit and were ready when called upon to do their full duty as American soldiers.
