SECOND LIEUTENANTS.


TAYLOR. EPHRAIM HI. - Age 23: res. Lisbon: mus. Oct. 31, '61. as 1st sergt .; com. 2d lieut. March 8. '62; killed at Middleburg, June 19. 12. [See pp. 156, 165, 166, 168, 173.]


EPHRAIM H. TAYLOR was born in Lisbon. He received an ordinary school education and learned the carpenter's trade, at which he worked in Boston, in Minnesota, and in Illinois. He was at his home when the war broke out, and when the cavalry regiment was ordered to be raised, Te decided to enlist in it. He visited Portland, but was too late to get into the company there, and then went to Bangor, where he enrolled his name with Capt. Brown, in Co. M. and having at one time belonged to a military organ- ization in Boston, he assisted in drilling the other reernits in marching and facing. Upon going into eamp with his company, at Angusta, his prompt- ness and military bearing so impressed his captain that he made him hrst sergeant. His valne was learned and appreciated during the winter, and a vacancy occurring by resignation a few days before the regiment left tire state for the field, his name was sent to the governor for promotion to second lieutenant, with a very strong endorsement from the field officers of the regiment, and a commission was given him at once. Of powertnl phy- sique and perfeet health, and with a natural aptitude for military antes. he was soon recognized as a useful and valuable officer. His coolness and bravery fitted him for every emergency. In camp, on the march, and in battle, he proved himself a loyal comrade, true man, and brave soldier. On the nineteenth of June, at Middleburg, Va .. he was instantly killed while leading his men in that fierce charge. and just at the moment of victory to our army. No officer who fell in the three engagements of that week. which cost the regiment so dear, was more generally or sincerely mourned than he; not his company alone, but the regiment and the state were losers. - B.


BRADMAN, WILLIAM H. - Age 18: res. Parkman: mus. Oct. 31, '61. as corp .; pro. sergt. Sept. 1. '62; com. 2d lieut. June 20, '63: wd. at shep- ardstown, July 16, '63: on special duty at brig. dismounted camp from April 25,'64; died of disease in hospital at City Point, July 30. 64.


WILLIAM H. BRADMAN enlisted from Parkman in the detachment of the First Maine Cavalry reernited by Col. Douty, and was appointed corporal in October, 1861. sergeant in November. 182, and second lieutenant June 20. 1; He was constantly on duty until July 16. 1863. when he was wounded in the engagement at Shepardstown, Va. He remained in hospital at Washington. and Baltimore until February, 1864. when he rejoined his company. Ils wound had not healed. but he insisted upon going on duty, and was anxious to take the field in an active campaign. When the army moved in May. ho was detailed with the dismounted command. This position was not at all congenial, and he made application to Gen. Gregg to be relieved. so he could join the company at the front, but did not succeed. His wound broke off again. the exposure and fatigne brought on fever, and he died JJuly 30. 1-61. at City Point. Va.


Lient. Bradman was eighteen years old when he enlisted, leaving his school books to serve his country. He easily adapted himself to the duth . of a soldier, and though somewhat reserved in his manner, there was a refinement abont him noticeable by all who came in contact with him. duty too hard. no danger too great for him; he rose above all the petty di -- comforts of the soldier's life, and gloried in the thought that he was doing what he could in the cause of freedom and mion.
