May 6, 1864 was another bloody day during the Battle of the Wilderness.
From a Seneca County, New York newspaper in May 1864:
LOSSES IN THE 111TH REGIMENT. – The 111th Regiment, New York Volunteers, Col. MC DOUGALL, now with Gen. Grant, went into battle on the 5th of may with about 400 muskets. Their losses on that and the following day were 194. The regiment was raised in the counties of Cayuga and Wayne.
According to the New York State Military Museum the 111th was fighting in Hancock’s 2nd corps. I’m not sure how accurate the numbers are in the above newspaper clipping, but:
The regiment bore an honorable part in 22 great battles. Its total enrollment during service was 1,780, of whom 10 officers and 210 men were killed and mortally wounded; its total of 220 killed and died of wounds is only exceeded by four other N. Y. regiments—the 69th, 40th, 48th and 121st—and is only exceeded by 24 other regiments in the Union armies. It lost 2 officers and 177 men by disease and other causes—total deaths, 404— of whom 2 officers and 74 men died in Confederate prisons.
