HISTORY OF LEBANON.
At the battle of Gettysburg, Lieutenant Liscomb commanded Company A. They went into action with twenty-three men; at the roll-call after the battle, three men only answered to their names. He was the first to discover and report the retreat of the rebel army. Being on picket duty at night after the last day's fight, the absence of any noise in the enemy's picket lines awakened suspicion that they might have retreated. To make sure of the fact, the lieutenant cautiously crawled through the underbrush, armed only with a stout stick, to the rifle-pits of the enemy ; searching right and left, he found them deserted and at once reported the retreat. He died at Point Lookout, Md., January 6, 1864.
