Lee) with Acting Master Samuel Hall in command. From that day, the gunboat performed patrol and guard duty on the Mississippi River and its tributaries primarily in the Mississippi Squadrons 5th (the Mississippi between Natchez and Vicksburg) and the 10th (the Cumberland River and upper Ohio River) Districts. After all organized Confederate resistance ceased and the South had begun its painful and uncertain return to a peaceful way of life, Abeona was decommissioned at Mound City on 4 August 1865.
