HISTORY OF THE
EDWARD A. MCCAULEY.
Second Lieutenant Edward A. McCauley was born at Jeffersonville, Indiana, August 2, 1873. He received his education in the public schools of this place. In 1893 he

became a member of the Indiana National Guard, and was promoted to the rank of sergeant. At the breaking out of the Spanish-American war he was associated with his father, John S. McCauley, in the furniture and picture-framing business. On the president's second call for volunteers he assisted Captain L. C. Baird in raising a company, enlisted

as first sergeant and was mustered in at Indianapolis with the company. On the resignation of Captain Baird Ser- geant McCauley was promoted to second lieutenant and, commissioned January 6, 1899, at Camp Columbia, Havana, Cuba.
HISTORY OF COMPANY E.
Jeffersonville, in common with all other Indiana towns of any importance, strove eagerly for the distinction of furn- ishing the state with a volunteer company on the first call for troops. Although unsuccessful in this she was destined to be one of the few Indiana cities whose organization saw service on foreign soil.
Enrollment for Company E began to be taken early in May at the office of attorney (now captain) James W. Fortune in the Spieth block, Jeffersonville. Considerable confusion was caused for a time by the presence of a rival organization, which also aspired to the honor of being selected by Governor Mount to represent the city in the makeup of the new regiment about to be furnished by Indiana. The confusion was largely due to the eagerness of a number of the recruits to get into the service. In order to make assurance doubly sure these young patriots had themselves enrolled with both companies. Another factor which contributed to the parlous state of affairs was the uncertainty as to whether or not the governor would allot a company to Jeffersonville. Many of the recruits-in fact the cream of those enrolled-sought relief from this state of uncertainty by enlisting in the regular service.
"All things come to him who waits," and the patience of Company E's promoters was finally rewarded by the welcome intelligence that the organization was one of the lucky twelve selected by the governor. This fact

being definitely assured, a mass meeting was held at the city hall on the evening of June 24, for the purpose of selecting the company officers and to enroll such additional recruits as might be necessary. The meeting was presided over by Colonel James Keigwin, of Louisville, Kentucky.
The officers were chosen with especial regard to their fitness, and at no time during their term of service did the members of the company, as a whole, have occasion to regret their choice. Lewis C. Baird was elected captain, James W. Fortune, first lieutenant, and W. W. Crooker, second lieutenant. Captain Baird and Lieutenant Crooker were both members of the State Guard previous to the disbanding of famous Company G, First Indiana National Guard. Captain Baird also brought to his duties the high military efficiency obtained during a course at the United Naval Academy at Ananapolis. Lieutenant Fortune had no previous training in military matters, but his record as first lieutenant and later as captain of the company proved him a born soldier and justified the confidence shown by the company in his selection.
Physical examinations of recruits were conducted daily at Jeffersonville and also at Scottsburg, Charlestown and Sellersburg, the last named three adjoining towns furnish- ing a number of recruits. These preliminary examinations were conducted by Dr. L. L. Williams, of Jeffersonville, and it is noteworthy that Company E had a smaller per- centage of rejections, during the final tests at Indianapolis, than any company in the regiment.
On July 1, Company E went into camp at Indianapo- lis with one hundred and nine men. Although the exami- nations reduced this number slightly below the required maximum quota the gaps were speedily filled up. After the usual period of squad-drills, suspense and commisera-

tion for the unfortunate candidates the company was mus- tered into the service on July 12.
From this time on the history of the company is, with a few variations, the history of the regiment. When the fall of Santiago and the signing of the protocol occurred it had the dumps with its fellows. When the regiment was ordered to Jacksonville, Company E yelled with the loudest, for Cuba was drawing nearer. It had its share (perhaps more than its share) of the insidious Jacksonville malaria. When the regiment pitched camp at Savannah, Company E, for the first and only time in its history, was separated from the mother organization.
On November 9, the company was detached and sent to take charge of the Savannah Military Rifle Range, dur- ing its use for the largest practice of the Seventh Army Corps. The skill and good work of the company in manip- ulating the targets and conducting the corps target practice won unsparing commendation from the corps offi- cers. The company remained at the range for a period of seventeen days and, while there, ate a Thanksgiving dinner, the menu of which would astonish the bean-fed veterans of the Civil war.
When Cuba was reached all settled contentedly down into the daily routine and began to look for mustering out orders. January 6 marked another epoch in the com- pany's history. On this date notice was given of the ac- ceptance of Captain Baird's resignation, previously tendered on account of business affairs at home which demanded his personal attention. He was succeeded in command by First Lieutenant Fortune. Second Lieutenant Crooker was thus advanced to second in command and First Ser- geant Edward A. McCauley received the shoulder straps he so well deserved. The illness of Lieutenant Crooker was the only incident which marred the otherwise enjoyable

stay in Cuba. The boys were sorry to leave him behind, even for the short time which elapsed between the regi- ment's departure and his return on the hospital ship. Ar- rived safely at home once more, the members of Company E can speak with justified pride of the showing they have made.
Not wholly unscathed did they come forth. By the death of Private Robert Angleton, Company E was de- prived of one of her best and bravest. He died October II, of typhoid fever, at his home in Jeffersonville while absent on sick furlough.
Company E was mustered out of the service with ninety-five men on the muster rolls. Eight were dis- charged, six were transferred and one died. As an offset to this five new men were either recruited or transferred to the company during its term of service.
Like many others, Company E had a company flag. On the night previous to the departure of the company for Camp Mount it was presented with a fine silk flag by the citizens of Jeffersonville. The presentation was made by Mayor Whitesides, who made a speech befitting the occa- sion. The flag remained with the company until Jackson- ville was reached, from which place it was returned to its home, where it yet remains-a treasured reminder to the citizens of Clark county of the day when their boys strode away to do their country's bidding.

HAROLD C. MEGKEW.
Major Harold C. Megrew prepared himself for the po- sition he held in the regiment by his early choice of educa- tional training and by his acquired experience in military affairs before he entered the service with the rank of major and appointment to the command of the Second Battalion. He was born in Indianapolis March 16, 1859, and after preparatory training was educated at the Howard Military Institute, in Maryland. He was a member of Company D, in the Washington (District of Columbia) Light Infan- try, National Guard. He was a member of the National Guard in Ohio, serving by special appointment on the staff of Governors Foraker and Bushnell. He has been in the service of the government, filling positions of responsibility at home and in Europe. He was captain in the Ben Har- rison Camp of the Sons of Veterans, and at the time of the president's call for troops was inspector-general of Indiana, and chief of staff of Governor Mount, with the rank of colonel. It was no small sacrifice of family and business interests that Major Megrew made on entering the volun- teer service; but, with the hope of being actively engaged at the front, he accepted his commission and became ma- jor of the One Hundred and Sixty-first Indiana. He is a member of the Indiana commandery of the Loyal Legion, and one of its board of officers.
While at Camp Cuba Libre, Major Megrew was presi- dent of the general court martial of the Third Division, and was summary court officer from the regiment's organiza- tion until, by direction of the major-surgeon, he left for a. thirty-days' leave of absence, January 16, 1899. He returned to the States, and, after a twenty days' extension, came back Monday, March 13. He was in every way an army official. He delighted in his work, was straightfor-

major-general in the Civil war and his father, G. V. Men- zies, is a retired naval officer who held the rank of lieuten- ant-commander while in the service. After the usual pre- paratory training, which Captain Menzies received at Corn- wall-on-the-Hudson, he entered the State University of Indiana in 1892, in which institution his collegiate educa- tion was finished in 1896. He took an active interest in athletics and was a member of various athletic teams of his college. He engaged for a short time in the cotton business in Texas and returned to his native state in time to enlist for the war with Spain. When it became evi- dent that the company organized in Mt. Vernon would not be accepted in the first call, Mr. Menzies enlisted as a private in Company H, One Hundred and Fifty-ninth Indiana, but upon the second call being issued obtained his discharge and came home to go out with the com- pany of his choice as captain. During the sickness and absence of Major Megrew, Captain Menzies was in com- mand of the Second Battalion.
ASA ELLWOOD WILLIAMS.
First Lieutenant Asa Ellwood Williams received his education at Purdue University and the State Univer- sity of Indiana, in the former of which institution he was second lieutenant of Company A of the cadets. At the State University Mr. Williams made a specialty of the study of law and was admitted to the bar of Posey county shortly after graduation, where he practiced prior to his enlistment, and where he held the position of deputy prosecuting attor- ney. While in college he was a member of the college football team and manager of the baseball nine. On the 13th of June Lieutenant Williams was married to Miss

HISTORY OF COMPANY B.
During the month of April, while the dogs of war were growling and the motto "Remember the Maine " was uppermost in all men's minds, an attempt was made to organize a military company at Mt. Vernon. The first attempt was a failure as there was no possibility of accept- ance on the first call. Winston Menzies, who was to have been captain of the company, fearing there would be no second call, enlisted as a private in Company H, One Hun- dred and Fifty-ninth Indiana. A. E. Williams and Percy Welch, two enthusiastic embryo warriors, held the organ- ization awaiting the hoped-for second call. May 25 Presi- dent Mckinley issued his second call for volunteers, and Posey county responded nobly to the call. A recruiting office was opened in Asa E. Williams' law office and the new recruits were sent into camp at the base ball park at the fair grounds. Our first camp was named in honor of Governor Hovey. It consisted of three tents and the base ball amphitheater. The commissary department was pre- sided over by Frank Jones, and it was a constant struggle to keep "the wolf from the door."
But the patriotic Women's Relief Corps and the char- itable citizens of Mt. Vernon rallied to our support and a famine was happily averted in Camp Hovey. The city council of Mt. Vernon generously voted us a subsidy and we received a great bonanza from the proceeds of an ice cream festival held in the court house, by the Women's Relief Corps, for our benefit. In the last days of June the examinations of the recruits was held by Drs. Welch and

Hardwick at the Masonic hall. The examination was very thorough and many would-be warriors were disappointed by being rejected. Winston Menzies in the meantime had secured his discharge from the One Hundred and Fifty- ninth to come home as captain of the Mt. Vernon company. At the election of officers, Winston Menzies was chosen captain; Asa Williams, first lieutenant, and Percy Welch, second lieutenant. Drills were held daily at the fair grounds and nightly in the court house yard. The evening of June 29, while drilling in the court yard, we received a dispatch calling our company to Indianapolis. The glad news was received by the company with great rejoicing. At noon the next day, while in company front awaiting the captain's order to leave Camp Hovey, the company sus- tained the only defeat in its history, being suddenly charged upon by a blind cow, which caused an instantaneous stam- pede in our ranks. Captain Menzies, after rallying the company, marched us to the court house, where we were presented with a beautiful silken flag by Mrs. Charles Brenkman, on behalf of the Women's Relief Corps. Im- mediately after the flag presentation we marched to the Evansville & Terre Haute depot and departed for Indian- apolis. Company B's first complement of arms was fur- nished by John Moeller, the patriotic cooper of Posey's capital; each man was armed with a mammoth Posey county hoop-pole and the company did valiant service with these arms on the guard line at Camp Mount. On the morning of July I, Indianapolis was reached and we were quartered in barn "B." Company B has reason to be proud of its merited reputation in the regiment; always ready and cheerfully willing to perform its duty, always able to have out the largest number of men for drills or reviews; health record second to none, not a death while in the service.
