THE 8th NEW YORK HEAVY ARTILLERY


This colossal regiment of 2.575 soldiers-equal to two and one-half in- fantry regiments -- was one of the "three hundred regiments" that met with wholesale slaughter. and thus became famous. Its list of killed numbered 361. or 14 per cent. on its enrollment. The total of its killed and wounded num- bered 1.010-besides 302 who died from disease, 102 of these in Confederate prisons. At Cold Harbor. Va .. they lost in killed and mortally wounded 207. The writer remembers seeing them as they passed along the defenses in front of Petersburg. their clean uniforms telling they had seen no field service. He

remembers how well and vigorous they seemed-but the return was far dif- ferent-the regiment no longer looked like a brigade. Fortunately for Nunda but one man from here had been assigned to that regiment, and he perished on that fatal day.


8th NEW YORK HEAVY ARTILLERY


Alpheus Cyrene Willett, age 18, enlisted April, 1864, and was assigned to Company MI. He enlisted from Nunda village, corner of Mill and Fair Streets. Two of his brothers, Oscar D. and Landen, had already enlisted and he went as soon as old enough. This young patriot, "Wearing still on his boyish face soon to be hid by the dust of the grave the lingering light of his boyhood grace." In less than two months his short military career closed and he per- ished in battle, and if buried at all it was by strangers who would not even


"Carve on a wood slab at his head Somebody's darling slumbers here."


I parted with this child in years and looks, but mature man in heroism, in Baltimore, when by accident we met. about the middle of April. 1864. his dim- pled face as full of sunshine as ever, and the next I heard of him was that he perished in battle with that worst of all fates-"Missing in battle"-buried by foes, where and how forever unknown, but I am sure the foe felt that at last Uncle Sam also was robbing the cradle to sustain an endangered cause. It is hard even now for me to be reconciled to the death in battle of the youth of our land, who so freely and. nobly defended the country's honor and flag, but there were four great armies of these 18-year young patriots, one army of many thousands for each year of the war. Our pride is greatest when we think of their valor, but our sorrow equals our pride when we chronicle their untimely end. That their memory be kept bright and their laurels unfading is the primary object of this local record of heroism.

AN UNFORTUNATE BATTERY


The 24th Independent Battery


Two "Ridge" men were among the victims ; Edwin Eastwood and Laban Shank though not from Nunda, we record their misfortunes.


There were fortunate or lucky companies and regiments, and there were the reverse of this.


Among this latter class we may mention the 24th Independent Battery of 160 men.


It was composed of men from Livingston, Wyoming and Monroe Coun- ties, and though I recognize the names of but two men, and neither of them from Nunda, but from the Ridge district of Mt. Morris. Edwin Eastwood was a young man of about my own age, who attended my school at the Ridge in 1858, and the other, Laban Shank, a little older. and, therefore, no longer in school. I give the fatality of this large company to show the horrors of and the dire fatalities incident to prison life in Southern prisons.


This is the list of deaths from all sources: Killed in battle 4; died of dis- ease, 2 officers and 10 men : total 16.


Died from captivity: After reaching Federal lines, 3; at Charlestown prison, 2; at Florence prison, 12 : at Andersonville prison, 53; total, 70.


Died from prison life. 70; died from army life, 16; total loss, 86.


Eighty-six of the company perished, and only 74 of 160 returned home.

George J. Campbell


Born 1834. enlisted January 13. 1861, at West Point, as private and artifi- cer ; served till 1853; assigned to engineers ; eight and one-half years in 3rd Engineers; re-enlisted in artillery, Battery C, Horse Artillery ; appointed Sergeant and Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant ; appointed, May 18, 1864, Second Lieutenant U. S. Cavalry ; January 6, 1886, First Lieutenant in com- mand of Company F. Maxwell's Ranch. in New Mexico; had charge of Com- pany of soldiers.

Died at Nunda, 1907.


Melvin La Seur, 1st Lieutenant, 4th Heavy Artillery, U. S. A.


A youthful hero who would be sent home.


Melvin La Seur. or La Suir, as he was called on the Creek Road, was a half brother of the Cains, three of whom, Alfred, Justus and William, were valiant soldiers in the Civil War. He attended in youth the Cooperville School. At the age of 16 he ran away from home to enlist as a soldier in the Mexican War, as we have already narrated. He remained in the service after


569


the war-is nominally in it yet, for he became by reason of his long military service a Lieutenant in the regular army-in the artillery branch of the service. Alfred Erwin, his brother-in-law. stated that he was still living at our last "home week" gathering. Whether he advanced farther than First Lieutenant is not known. As he is now 75 years of age he has been retired from active service before this time. He is the only living veteran of the Mex- ican War that went from Nunda. When the curly headed, half grown boy went to Mexico in spite of relatives, generals and examination boards, re- turned to Nunda during the Civil War. with the bright uniform, trimmed with red, a commissioned officer, grown to a six footer, it is needless to say he found a young lady-a Miss Bronson, a niece of the merchant of that name- who was willing to try camp and garrison life on the plains with the regulars. such was the power of a fine dashing uniform, if worn by a man who had won his right to wear them and who-though a "non-grad" of Cooperville School, messed on equal terms with West Point graduates.


This completes our short but interesting list of the officers of the regular army from Nunda and the one private soldier we have knowledge of. There were probably others in the ranks of the regulars.


Henry L. Carver. Brevet Captain and Quartermaster. U. S. A .. served in the regular army with Gen. Sibley, 1860, and received his brevet position. He served through the Civil War. He died in 1894 and is buried at St. Paul. This makes three officers who rose from the ranks to positions of equality with West Pointers. I doubt if there is another town in New York where this has happened.


Ira B. Perry, private, Company F. 14th U. S. Infantry.


Captain J. W. Hand was offered a commission in the regular army but declined it.

OUR NUNDA CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE NAVY


The Navy of the United States has always been conspicuous for its achievements. It virtually, by its valor, brought about the treaty of peace with England in our second war with the mother country.


As an effectual blockading force in the Civil War it shut off supplies from England and, combined with Sherman's march to the sea. through their great store house of supplies. Georgia. brought the armies of the Confederacy to a state bordering on starvation, while in its open warfare with its adversaries 011 sea, river or land, it proved equal to every emergency. In that great world drama of history, the Civil War. the navy played no secondary part. The naval forces of the United States during the war numbered 132.544: of this number only 7.600 were in the service when the war began.


The casualties in the navy during the entire war were 1.804 killed or mortally wounded. and 2.246 wounded who survived : only 3.000 died of dis- ease and accident. The deaths from disease were not in excess of the death rate in civil life. In this respect the naval service has a great advantage over service in the army, where the death rate from disease is three times as great as that from other causes.


The strength in vessels of the navy at the beginning of the war was but small. though Horace Greeley said "the Home Squadron of the United States. most of which are ready for instant service, and all but three or four are now in the port of New York. The list comprises 26 vessels carrying 190 guns and 2,575 men. the largest naval force ever concentrated in one squadron since the United States navy was organized It has more ships than the Channel fleet of England."


For the last 75 years Nunda has not been without a representative in the navy. During the Civil War she had but four men in this service.


William Long, boatswain, was in the navy all his mature life. He served ior thirty years, mostly before the Civil War. He had a home in Nunda and was married to Miss Helen Knights, who survives him, and now resides at Newburyport. Mass. She was a sister of Needham Knights, a Nunda soldier.


John E. McDonald of Company A, 104th N. Y. (a sailor), asked to be transferred to the navy and his request was granted. Of his further service we are not informed.


William G. Tousey, enlisted in the navy August 25, 1862; served on Barque Roebuck. Gunboat Huntsville. and Frigate St. Lawrence. ( He now owns a yacht, which is the only vessel in the Nunda navy. ) A fine student before his enlistment he returned to Nunda, taught a public school, then went to college (Tufts. Massachusetts), graduated, and has been a professor in that growing college ever since.


W. Parker Wright. a Nunda citizen and an expert machinist, was em- ployed in the navy yards at Washington adjusting Dalgren guns. He was a son of Oliver Wright, who lived on Portage Street after 1835. and whose foundry, the first in the village. is still standing and is used as a livery stable.


Since the Civil War


Between the wars F. Marion Satterlee and Oscar Moerk served in the navy; Moerk became a citizen of Nunda. (See picture of Satterlee and his friend).

58th REGIMENT OF NEW YORK NATIONAL GUARDS


The militia of the state rendered valuable service. especially where war was liable to come. The Civil War did not have any battlefields in New York. hence the principal duty of the many soldiers of the State Militia, with some exceptions, did their work at home.


575


Large numbers of Confederate prisoners were guarded at Elmira, and large numbers of Conscripts and high bounty men were sent under guards of militia to the front.


The temptation to enlist frequently under assumed names, when the bounty had reached $1,000, was so great that it was no light task to conduct these men to the front.


Here the militia became very serviceable and their journeys to City Point, with Conscripts, who were generally good men, and bounty jumpers, who were worthless in or out of the army ; and guard duty over the military prison. formed their chief service. Their chief benefit. however, after all, was reliev- ing from these duties a like number of veteran soldiers who went to the front. where every veteran soldier was worth at least three times as much as any raw recruit, hence they were furnishing the army with the same number of well drilled troops while they were learning to become soldiers. To those soldiers who had seen actual service this three months service at Elmira was simply a picnic after comfortable quarters were obtained to so serve Uncle Sam.


So many were eager to get into the service, and "out of the draft" that they hastily recruited a detachment of men, and hastened with them to the new front. "On to Chemung" became much more attractive than "On to Richmond" but alas for human plans and ambitions there could be but three line officers for 100 men, and their detachments of recruits, not generally over 20, made consolidation essential, and some of the officers found themselves with commissions but without command, and hence could not be mustered into the service.


There are, or were, at least a full company of men in or around Nunda who have been kicking themselves (metaphorically) for not serving those three months and so becoming pensioners for life. Having been mustered into the United States service at the close of their period of enlistment, that they might be paid by the general Government and not by the State, their ninety days service made them U. S. veterans. entitled to all the rights, privi- leges, perquisites and honors, including pensions and a place in that organiza- tion that writes its name G. A. R .- "the Monogram of Fame."


The part of a company from Nunda was mostly officers, and though they all survived the "Battles of the Chemung" at this date it is quite hard to find any more of them here than of the other companies.
