by occupation a bookkeeper. He was appointed Sergeant October 15.


Temple spoke his mind fearlessly, but calmly. In January, 1862, Company H got up a petition which was signed by seventy- two men, to have the cook turned out of the kitchen. Sergeants Temple and Gleason presented the paper to the Captain, who was offended that the Sergeants should approve such a petition. Temple said to him: "If the Sergeants are not to be allowed to take an interest in the welfare of the men, then please take off my stripes."


A diary kept by Temple has been preserved, covering the period from the time of his enlistment till Sunday, April 6, 1862. The records in this little book plainly show that he had been anxious about his health some months before his enlistment, and that he hoped the out-of-door life would help him to regain his strength ; but he found the service too severe. The long marches and hard drill increased his unfavorable symptoms, and he was discharged after ten months' service, on a surgeon's certificate of disability.


After leaving the army, he was for a short time traveling companion for John B. Gough on his lecture tours, looking after the advertising in newspapers and by posters, the printing and selling of tickets, traveling expenses, hack service, hotel bills, and rent of halls.
