On October 26, 1863, a small force of Confederate guerrillas raided St. Marys, where they stole horses, boots, and shoes, and seized and destroyed a cache of weapons. The raiders also interrupted a German Ball and forced the men outside before paroling them. Citizens met at the courthouse five days later to determine how to prevent future rebel raids in the area.
