COMPANY C, SEVENTIETH NEW YORK INFANTRY
To arms! the voice of Freedom calls, Nor calls in vain : Up from the fields, the shops, the halls, The busy street, the city walls, Rush martial men.
Company C, Seventieth New York Infantry, was organized at Paw Paw and was the first military organization of the Civil war from Van Buren county. A number of Paw Paw young men, in 1859, organized themselves into a military company under the name of the LaFayette Light Guard, the township of Paw Paw be- ing at that time called LaFayette.
Early in 1861, shortly after the outbreak of hostilities, they sought to enter the service in some Michigan regiment, but were not accepted, because, forsooth, Michigan needed no more troops. And so they offered their services to and were accepted by the state of New York; became a part of the celebrated Sickles' Bri- gade, commanded by General Daniel E. Sickles, and were mus- tered into the service in what was afterward called the Seventieth New York Infantry. Thus the state of Michigan lost one of the finest companies that was organized anywhere during the entire Civil war, and the state military authorities shortly afterward

discovered that they needed, not only such a company as this, but a good many more like it.
The Company left Paw Paw for New York City, June 13, 1861, from which place it was sent to Staten Island and there mustered into the United States service June 30, 1861. The company re- mained on Staten Island until July 23, 1861, at which time it received orders to leave for Washington, where it arrived July 24, 1861. The regiment then went into camp on Meridian Heights.
On April 16, 1862, it took part in the siege of Yorktown and on the evacuation of that city by the enemy it was ordered to Wil- liamsburg, Virginia, where it arrived May 5, 1862, and immediately became engaged with the enemy, suffering very severely and los- ing eight men killed and 23 wounded and missing.
It participated in the engagement at Fair Oaks, again losing very heavily. It then remained in front of the White House, do- ing picket duty and skirmishing with the enemy until June 26, 1862, when it was again ordered to the front, taking part in the Peninsular campaign and serving gallantly in the several en- gagements. The regiment was very badly cut up at Bristow Sta- tion and Bull Run and took part in Burnside's disastrous attack on Fredericksburg December 15, 1862, after which it received or- ders to follow General Lee, who was then moving northward through Maryland. It arrived at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, in time to participate in the three days' fighting near that place, be- ing attached to the Second Brigade, Second Division, Third Army Corps, commanded by Major General D. E. Sickles. It remained with this corps until April, 1864, when, on consolidation of the Third and Second Corps, it became a part of the Second Brigade, Fourth Division, Second Army Corps.
It took part in the battles of Wapping Heights, Kelly's Ford, Mine Run campaign, and Locust Grove, Virginia.
May 6, 1864, it entered upon the Grant campaign, being engaged at the Wilderness, May 5, 6 and 7; Spottsylvania, May 8, to 21; North Anna river, May 22 to 26; Tolopotomy, May 27 to 31; Cold Harbor, June 1 to 12; siege of Petersburg to July 7, 1864, when it was mustered out of service, the veterans and recruits being as- signed to the Eighty-sixth Regiment, New York Infantry.
Total number enrolled, 112; killed in action, 14; died of wounds, 3; died of disease, 6; discharged for disability, 27.
The following list comprises the name of the Van Buren county members of this company : Abrams, James E., Paw Paw; enlisted May 14, 1861, at Paw Paw; transferred to second United States Cavalry.
