were gathered together by the late W. C. Wyman and drilled from raw recruits into soldiers of the line. Captain Schamp's present company of sturdy militiamen compose one of the best organizations that has borne the name of Company G. In those early years, however, the company was not taken from the rank and file of the citizenship of Ottumwa. The society men, those of prominence in the community, were the popular candidates for the ranks and for the first few years this prevalence continued. Gradu- ally the lines of enlistment broadened until now every young man of sufficient physical qualifications is eligible and is sought as a member of Company G.
