CAPTAINS.
PUTNAM, BLACK HAWK. - Age 23; res. Houlton; mus. Oct. 19, '61: led the charge at Middletown, May 24, '62. Co. E being in the advance. where his horse was shot and he was wd. and separated from the Union forces: remained nine days in the woods and mountains, with a number of men from his own and other companies, closely hunted by the enemy. who fired on them the fourth day, but without effect: escaped capture and rejoined regt. with the men; on recruiting service, July 30 to Sept. 25. '62; resigned and was honorably discharged, Feb. 19, '63. [See p. 37.]

Osco A. ELLIS, of Lincoln, was mustered into the service Oct. 19, 1-61, and was commissioned second lieutenant of Co. E, First Maine Cavalry. He was afterwards promoted to first lieutenant, and then to captain. He was killed in action at St. Mary's church. June 24, 1864. while leading his men, who were fighting on foot. He was buried one mile west of Charles City Court House, near Wilcox Landing, James River, Va. The deceased was a lawyer by profession. and a young man of fine talents and irreproach- able character. - Adjutant General's Report. 1864-5.
HEALD, JOHN A. - Age 18; res. Lincoln: mus. Oct. 19, '61, as private: pro. corp. and sergt. '62; com. 2d lieut. Aug. 20, '63, and capt. July 16. '64; on duty as pro. mar. 2d brig. 2d div. c. c. from March 27 to June, 04: killed in the charge on Lee's retreating train, April 6, '65. [See pp. 243. 373, 401, 415, 433. 438.]
JOHN AVERY HEALD was born in Lincoln, Me., Nov. 30, 1842, and was the youngest of a family of twelve. He came of hardy pioneer and soldier stock. being a lineal descendant on his mother's side from Capt. Miles Standish and Governor Bradford, pilgrims of the " Mayflower," and his father, Israel Heald. having been a soldier in the war of 1812, and one of the pioneer settlers at Lincoln.
He was a born leader. and whether in his native village or among the Congressional pages in Washington, he was always foremost among itis mates. For a time he was a sailor. With such antecedents, it would have been strange if he had not responded to his country's call. Indeed. he was one of the first to offer himself, and he was enlisted in the First Maine Cav- alry, Oct. S. 1861, being then less than nineteen. He was made corporal of Co. E. April 7, 1962, and sergeant, Sept. 1. 1862. In January, 163, he was promoted to lieutenant. for bravery in the field, and was made captain fi June. 1864.
From the first day in the field, the Maine cavalry men knew no rest. and John Heald. in possession of iron strength. indomitable good-nature. and fearless to the last degree, was restless among the restless. He was for some time on the staff of Gen. Gregg, and saw considerable service away from his regiment. He never shunned the thick of the fight. and was more than once surrounded and apparently cut off: but he was never captured. and it appears strange that in thirty battles and numerous fights of leser degree, and many adventurous enterprises in which he bore a part. he was not. until the fatal day, serionsly hurt. His capacity for the command of men was very great, because every man was his comrade, and " he dared to
527
ROSTER OF COMPANY E.
lead where any dared to follow." In four different engagements he com- manded a battalion of the regiment.
On the sixth of April, 1865. Lee's trains were discovered in the vicinity of Sailor's Creek, retreating along a road parallel with that on which the First Maine Cavalry was advancing. At about eleven o'clock an attack was or- dered and gallantly delivered. but the unfavorable nature of the ground. obstructed by swamps and close thickets, made success almost impossible in face of the strong resistance of the infantry guard. When Co. E finally fell back, China, Capt. Heald's favorite horse. was riderless. A call for volunteers to rescue the captain brought every man to the front. He was found living, but unconscious, and he died in an hour. The fatal bullet ploughed a gash across the top of his head. barely penetrating the brain: one little half inch higher and he would have been untouched. So he died at the early age of twenty-three. mourned as only soldiers can mourn a fallen leader. but with his work done. for three days later Lee surrendered at Appomattox. and the war was over. His bones repose in the cemetery at Petersburg. Va. On his tomb it may be truthfully inscribed: "He hath borne himself beyond the promise of his age."

MARK NEVILLE. of Littleton. entered the service by enlisting as a private in Co. E. First Maine Cavalry. but by his courage and uniform attention to duty was gradually promoted. until he was commissioned first lieutenant. Hle was killed by a piece of shell. which crushed his left temple, at the battle of Middleburg, June 19. 1863. During his term of service, such was his devo- tion to the life he had chosen that he was not off duty for a single day. While living he proved himself to be a true and valiant soldier. and but for hisuntimely death, such was the promise of his enegy, skill, and courage, that it is fair to presume that he would have been one of the best and bravest officers in the service. - Adjutant General's Report. 1864-5.

WINFIELD S. COLLINS was one of the first to respond to the call for men to form a regiment of cavalry in Maine. He enlisted and was assigned

to Co. E. Soon afterwards he was made corporal. At Camp Bayard. in 1862, he was made sergeant. His soldierly bearing was a model for his com- rades, and his bravery on the battle-field won the highest admiration. On the thirtieth of December. 1863, he re-enlisted as a veteran volunteer: on the eighteenth of July. 1864. he was mustered as first lieutenant of Co. E. First Maine Cavalry, and as such served until the first of August, when he was assigned to the command of Co. M. Here was an opportunity to dis- play his military talent, which. with his kindness, won the hearts of all under his immediate command. and elicited the highest praise of his superior officers. There was every prospect of his soon receiving higher rank, with military honors.
Again our columns move on the enemy. The First Maine Cavalry has the advance. It was the afternoon of the twenty-seventh of October. 1864, in the hottest of the fight, that the First Maine was ordered to charge. At the head of his company, with stern but cheering words of command, he led them on, until a bullet came crashing through his temples. He fell. , never more to give command to his brave followers, and amid the fearful carnage was carried from the field. He was taken to the Yellow House. where he died the following morning, and near which he was buried. Young and brave, he sacrificed his life for his country, and in years to come his memory shall be blessed. - Adjutant General's Report, 1864-5.
