THE SECOND CALL.


As soon as those who responded to the first call were armed and equipped, the President issued a second call, dated May 25, 1898, for 75,000 more men. The quota for Indiana to fill was not announced until June 18, and during the inter- val the companies which had been organized for service be- sieged the State officers for places under the call. The entire National Guard, with the single exception of Battery C, of Dana, was already in the United States service. Battery C had been offered the opportunity of serving as an infantry company under the first call, but the members preferred to await a second call and enter the service as artillery, if pos- sible.


It was finally announced that Indiana would be expected to furnish one regiment and two separate companies of in- fantry. The latter assignment had been secured in order that


370


NATIONAL GUARD OF INDIANA.


colored companies might be accepted, as there was a great de- sire among the colored people to be represented.


The entire regiment necessarily was composed of volun- teer companies. All of them had been organized and drilled in anticipation of the second call, and from among those clam- oring for admission the companies at Jeffersonville, Colum- bus, Richmond. Shelbyville, Hammond, Monticello, Mount Vernon. Madison, Lawrenceburg, New Castle, Rushville and Michigan City were ordered to Camp Mount. In addition authority was given to Jacob Porter and John J. Buckner, who had previously served in the Guard, to raise the two separate companies. First Lieutenant J. C. Waterman, U. S. A., was ordered to Indianapolis as recruiting officer.


The work of organization was undertaken at once, and Winfield T. Durbin, of Anderson, who had served as pay- master under the first call and was a member of Governor Mount's staff. was selected as colonel. The companies were assigned letters as follows: A, Hammond; B, Mt. Vernon; C, Shelbyville; D, Madison; E, Jeffersonville; F, Richmond; G, New Castle: H. Rushville; I, Monticello; K, Columbus; L, Michigan City; M, Lawrenceburg. Company H, of Rushville, was the first to report for duty.


The regiment was mustered into United States service by battalions and the entire organization was received into United States service by July 15. By this time the land and sea fight at Santiago had indicated the early termination of the war, but in spite of the belief general among the men that they would not get away from Indianapolis, the spirits were kept up and they gave strict attention to the duties of camp and drill. The regiment remained at Camp Mount per- fecting itself until August 11, when it was ordered to Jack- sonville, Florida, where it arrived August 14. It was assigned to the Seventh Army Corps under the command of General Fitzhugh Lee, at Camp Cuba Libre. That it would be a part of the army of occupation was now understood and the spirits of the men rose. It was moved from Jacksonville to Camp Onward at Savannah until December 13, when it embarked for Cuba and reached Havana two days later.


During the stay at Savannah a number of low dives were started on the outskirts of the camp, and these were speedily disposed of by Colonel Durbin, against whom suits were brought by several of the proprietors.


The regiment went into camp at Camp Columbia, Mariana, Cuba. on December 17, and remained there on garrison duty


371

until March 29, 1899, when it embarked for Savannah for mus- ter out, and reached that city two days later.


A camp was established and the regiment was finally mus- tered out and discharged April 30, 1899, at Savannah. It came home by way of Washington, D. C., where it was re- viewed by the authorities, and the companies from north of Indianapolis reached there on the morning of May 3. Gov- ernor Mount welcomed them and Colonel Durbin turned over to the State authorities the colors of the regiment.


The loss from death was heavier in the One-hundred-and- sixty-first than in any other Indiana regiment, the number of deaths reaching twenty while in service, although one was on detailed duty at the time of his death.


John I. Lewis, of Bedford, who entered the service July 3 as hospital steward, was the only one of the field and staff who died. His death occurred at Jacksonville, Florida, Sep- tember 8.


Company A, of Hammond, lost two men. On September 4 Private Earnest R. Puhlman, of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, died at Jacksonville, and on October 14 Private Fred Schroe- der, of Hammond.


Company D, of Madison, lost three men. The first was Private John A. Sebree, of Ghent, Kentucky, who died at Jacksonville, October 14. On November 3, and at the same place, Private Frank M. Green, of North Vernon, died. The last death was that of Private Alonzo N. Graham, of Lan- caster, at Camp Columbia, Cuba, on January 24, 1899.


Company E, of Jeffersonville, lost but one-Private Rob- ert Angleton, of Jeffersonville, who died at his home on Octo- ber 11.


Company F, of Richmond, lost two men. Private Denver Brown, whose home was in West Manchester, Ohio, died at Jacksonville October 23, and Private Charles F. Trimble, of Richmond, died at Mariana, Cuba, on January 17, 1899.


Company H, of Rushville, lost but one man-Private Clyde C. Gable, of Rushville, who died November 3 at Ft. McPher- son, Georgia.


It was in Company I, of Monticello, that the greatest mor- tality existed, that company losing six men. Private Clar- ence D. Kuns, of Brookston, died at Camp Libre, September 24, and Corporal Wallace D. Stivers, of Rensselaer, at the same place. on October 14. Private George Kepperling, of Chalmers, Indiana. died October 23 while at his home on fur- lough. Private William G. Weaver, of Monticello, died at Savannah, November 7, and Private Joseph F. Turner, of San

Pierre, died there November 30. In addition to these Jacob Dexter, of Goodland, who was a member of the company, but was serving on detached duty, died at Camp Cuba Libre, of smallpox, also.


Company K. of Columbus, lost but one man-Private Charles Everson, who died at Camp Onward, Georgia, on De- cember 2.


Company L, of Michigan City, lost Charles E. Leiter, artif- icer, whose home was at Bedford. He died October 17 at Jacksonville.


Company M, of Lawrenceburg, lost two men-Private Henry H. Stille, of Sunman, who died October 17 at Jackson- ville, and Private Andrew Gould, of Lawrenceburg, who died at Mariana, Cuba, February 17, 1899.
