Ashael Coe, brother of Israel Coe (page 301), was born in Goshen on January 28, 1799. He resided in Waterbury about ten years. He was manager of the store of Benedict & Coe in the building occu- pied until 1894 by the Apothecaries' Hall company. He removed to Torrington and from there to Waverly, Ill., in 1838, and was there engaged in farming and in mercantile business. He married, June 2, 1830, Maria Wetmore, who in 1894 was living with her youngest son in her ninetieth year. Mr. Coe died in 1884 at the age of eighty-five. They had six sons and two daughters. Their uncle, Israel Coe, wrote of them as follows:
Soon after the war commenced five of the sons enlisted for three years. They were in many battles. The first was with Admiral Foote. Two were with Gen. Sherman through the South. Only one was wounded, and he was able to return to duty after a furlough of sixty days. They all came home free from a bad habit; not one made use of tobacco. Four married and had families. After some years the other one died. The daughters have families, one in Boulder City, Colo., the other in western Missouri. There are twenty-five or more grandchildren in the family.
Flora C. Coe, sister of Israel Coe, was born in Goshen, February 17, 1797, and was married to Anson Stocking, Sen. They had two sons and three daughters. The sons were in the army three years in Connecticut companies. Mrs. Stocking died at Hiram, Ohio, in April, 1894, aged eighty-seven years.
Orril Coe, another sister of Israel, born November 25, 1810, was married March 22, 1835, to Samuel J. Stocking, son of Anson above named by his first wife, a daughter of Capt. Samuel Judd. They lived in Waterbury many years, but removed to Torrington, where he died. Mrs. Stocking died December 8, 1850.
THE CONNECTICUT NATIONAL GUARD.
Although the men who constituted the militia had made them- selves immortal on the field of battle, the name, thanks to the neglect and carelessness of the state, was still in bad odor. The legislature, by act of July 9, 1865, re-christened the militia "the

Connecticut National Guard." Other states all over the country ave since followed this example. The law was drafted by Col. S. V. Kellogg and approved by Gen. Russell. By it the eight regi- hents were made into two brigades-the First, Third, Fifth and eventh regiments constituting the First brigade, the Second, ixth and Eighth. with the light artillery, the Second brigade. The tal number of officers and men was 4141. The law repealed ne officers' annual drill, ordered a six days' encampment by regi- ient or brigade and provided that uniforms should be furnished y the state. The Second regiment was promptly recruited to ten ill companies, a number which it has had the unique distinction of aintaining ever since.
In September, 1865, Chatfield guard changed from artillery to fantry Company A, Second regiment, Connecticut National Guard. numbered ninety men, many of them veterans. The companies the old Sixth regiment were attached to the Second regiment, aking twelve companies besides the battery, so that there were rer a thousand men at the camp in New Haven that month. . H. Stevens was color sergeant.
On April 30, 1866, infantry Company D, Sherman guard, was ganized, James F. Simpson, captain; William L. G. Pritchard, first eutenant; James M. Birrell, second lieutenant. In its armory in othic hall, on Phoenix avenue, it started out with a membership of rer fifty.
On May 2, 1866, Col. Kellogg was promoted to be brigadier-gen- al commanding the Second brigade. Samuel E. Merwin, Jr., suc- eded him as colonel. Not long after, August 12, Capt. E. J. Rice is made major, George W. Tucker succeeding to the command Company A. George E. Terry was assistant adjutant-general on en. Kellogg's staff, and E. M. Neville brigade commissary.
A period of quiet followed the season of unusual activity. In 67 the number of regiments was reduced to four. There were steen companies and a section of artillery in the Second. On igust 16, 1869, Capt. Tucker was chosen senior major, with E. E. adley of New Haven, colonel, and A. I. Goodrich became captain Company A. On April 9, 1869, Company D changed its drill hall
1 Way's building, on Brook street. In April, 1870, Capt. Gilbert was irt martialed for conduct unbecoming an officer, and in June he s fined $100 and cashiered. In December, after many ballots,
1 J in L. Saxe, a charter member, was elected captain. On February : 1871, the company moved into Hotchkiss hall.
The year 1871 saw still another great change in the militia. In 1) summer the legislature decreed that thereafter there should be

but one brigade, to consist of four regiments, with ten companies as the maximum, and two sections of artillery, one for the First regiment. The First regiment had eight companies, the Second ten, the Third six and the Fourth eight. Eighty-three was to be the maximum number of men for each company, afterward reduced to sixty-seven, and now sixty-eight. Among the supernumerary officers discharged were Maj .- Gen. James J. McCord, Brig. Gen. Kellogg, G. E. Terry, assistant adjutant-general, and E. M. Neville. brigade commissary. The new order also disbanded Company D.

On July 26, 1871, a meeting was held to form a new company to be known as the "Waterbury Light guard." In September it was accepted by the state as Company G, Second regiment. The men chose the name of Sedgwick guard in memory of Maj .- Gen. Sedg- wick, and on September 25 elected C. R. Bannon, captain, W. S. Wilson, first lieutenant, and D. A. Magraw, second lieutenant. The other charter members were:
Sergeants: Michael E. Dugan, Frank P. Reynolds, Patrick F. Ryan, John F. McCormack, Terrence Reynolds.

Their drill room for a short time was in Meyer's hall on Scovill street, and then in Hotchkiss hall.
The six days' encampment ordered by the law of 1865 was reduced to four days in 1867. In 1870 the encampment was dis- pensed with for that year, pending the work of the commission appointed to revise the law. Since that revision there has been a six days' encampment either yearly or once in two years for each regiment, except when dispensed with by the commander-in-chief in certain cases where an equivalent of time was given in some other way. Of late years, the whole brigade has gone into camp each year for six days. In the years immediately following the war, the regiments held their encampments at various places in their districts. Later the state leased a ground near the Howard house at Niantic, and then the present grounds to the north of them.

here the regiments went by twos each year. Under Gov. Thomas . Waller, in 1883, the state purchased these grounds and has been proving them ever since, until they are unexcelled in the United ates. The centennial year, 1876, will long be remembered by the aterbury soldiers who were in camp with the Second regiment at iladelphia a full week, September 1-8.
The first regular local rifle range was established in Water- lle, the next year, but not much attention was paid to practice til in later years, when Maj. F. A. Spencer was inspector and .e present range in the meadows southeast of the city became reality.
In 1875 the companies chose Booth's hall, at the corner of Phoenix enue and East Main streets, for their armory.
On January 8, 1877, Company A was surprised by the resignation its efficient commander, A. I. Goodrich. In 1875 he had been ected lieutenant-colonel and had declined. Frederick A. Spencer, ho, since he was a sergeant of old Company H, had served in the ar, had been first lieutenant of the Second Colorado cavalry, and this time was paymaster of the Second regiment, C. N. G., was ected to succeed him as captain. In 1878 he offered the Spencer dge to be shot for by members of the company each year. The 1 Military hall having been refitted, Company A returned to it, ving a dedication ball April 23, 1879. In December Company G ok up quarters again in Irving (formerly Hotchkiss) hall. The ty hall also was utilized as a drill hall for a time.
In 1881 Waterbury was called upon to furnish another major for e Second regiment, and on August 28 P. F. Bannon was elected ptain of Company G in place of C. R. Bannon, promoted. In oril, 1882, Company A lost Capt. Spencer, who was appointed igade inspector of rifle practice, with the rank of major. F. R. hite succeeded Capt. Spencer.
No halls in the city had been large enough for drill rooms and ne were well adapted for the uses of military companies. Peti- n had frequently been made that a special armory be provided the state, and this was finally granted. The lot chosen was at e southeast corner of Phoenix and Abbott avenues, so situated at the grade of the latter avenue was considerably above the indation on that side. An armory was built, and on December 1883, it was dedicated with lavish ceremony. The cost of the was $7500, and of the building about $18,500. The building asures 78 by 138 feet, and it has a drill room 69 by 105 feet, with gallery that seats a hundred persons. The architect was Robert Hill.

HISTORY OF WATERBURY.
At the dedication of the Soldiers' monument, October 23, 1884. the entire Second regiment participated in the exercises. On Sep- tember 13, three years later, the companies paraded on the occasion of the dedication of the Chatfield monument in Riverside cemetery.
The year 1886 saw one more change in the uniform. It had been decreed that the entire brigade should be clothed alike, the service- able costume of the regular army to be closely followed. The men of the Second regiment discarded their old gray suits and gaudy belts for dark blue, single-breasted coats and light blue trousers, all with white trimmings and a careful avoidance of anything of a tinsel nature.
On February 19, 1885, the regiment claimed still another major from Waterbury, and this time it was Capt. J. B. Doherty of Com- pany A, whose place was taken, on March 2, by First Lieut. C. E. Hall. Under Capt. Doherty the company had led the entire brigade in percentage of attendance at drills during several seasons. On December 13, 1887, the officers of Company A, Capt. L. F. Burpee and Lieuts. C. L. Stocking and F. M. Bronson, offered a handsome gold badge to be awarded to the best drilled man at annual contests at the close of the drill season. Both companies now had finely furnished equipment rooms and parlors in the armory.
Maj. Doherty became colonel July 1, 1889, thus bringing the head- quarters to Waterbury. F. T. Lee of New Haven was lieutenant- colonel. Col. Doherty's staff was selected as follows: A. M. Dickin- son, adjutant and captain; George G. Blakeslee, quartermaster and first lieutenant; William H. Newton, paymaster and first lieutenant; Dr. John M. Benedict, surgeon and major; William G. Daggett of New Haven, assistant surgeon and first lieutenant: Charles C. Ford of New Haven, inspector of rifle practice and cap- tain; the Rev. Justin E. Twitchell, D. D., of New Haven, chaplain. Fred W. Miller was drum major. And then still another major was chosen from Waterbury in the person of Capt. Lucien F. Burpee. whose successor in Company A was C. L. Stocking. Maj. Burpee's commission dated from February 3, 1890. Capt. Stocking was suc- ceeded in 1891 by First Lieut. William E. Moses, Charles W. Burpee becoming first lieutenant and Edwin Hart second lieutenant. Capt. Moses was succeeded, October 24, 1892, by John P. Kellogg. First Lieut. C. W. Burpee was succeeded by Edwin Hart on November 23, 1891, Lieut. Hart's place being taken by James Geddes. Lieut. Geddes subsequently succeeded First Lieut. Edwin Hart, and Henry B. Carter was elected second lieutenant. James Geddes succeeded John P. Kellogg as captain. March 15, 1893, at which time Henry B.
