So on Saturday evening, August 2, 1862, we went to Batavia for the sole purpose of enlisting, which we did in Capt. J. II. Me Mannis' company. Jolin's brother, Frederick, and my older brother went out in '61 in the 105th Regt. A few weeks later Mr. Alpaugh, father of the boys died suddenly, and Frederick obtained his discharge in order to assist his widowed mother in the management of a large farm. But when Company ( was or.

ganized, he sacrificed home duties and re-enlisted. being made sergeant, and at Spottsylvania, gave up his life for the country he had so nobly served.
My father signed the papers permitting my brother, only six- teen, to join the 22nd Independent battery. With the enlistment of three sous, my parents were left alone, old and intiri, on a large farm. So it was all over the country. The spirit of the time was patriotism. Company ( filled up rapidly. By the last of August we had our quota. Benjamin Goodspeed was made first lieutenant and H. P. Saunders, who brought eighteen or twenty sturdy young Englishmen with him from the town of Stafford, was appointed 2nd lieutenant.
At that time, a young man from some military school was spending his vacation with his uncle in Batavia. He initiated us into the mamal of amus with the assistance of a lot of old muskets, which we found in the old arsenal, using a discarded Presbyterian church for a drill room. I well remember with what veneration we looked upon our young drill master in his neatly fitting uniform. The old church was also used as a store room and a quantity of wool was there, on which we frequently slept all night, feeling that we were soldiering! In later years a fence rail or a stone wall was good enough for a bed, anything to keep us out of the inud. Henry Scott married a beautiful and accomplished young lady just before he left Batavia for Lock- port. He saw her but few times after. He died at Brandy Sta- tion, of typhoid fever in 1883. It was my sad privilege to help bury him and write the sorrowful particulars to his young wife.
In the battle of Loenst Grove, the ouly man killed from Co. (, was Charles Wihnore. He had frequently expressed a desire that if any casuality should befall him it should be death. His wish was granted as a ball strnek his head killing him instantly.
I might follow the fortunes of members of Co. C' ahnost in- definitely, but will close hoping that a copy of the History of one of the most gallant regiments that fought in the war of the re- bellion may be placed in the hands of every survivor.

ZEAL OF TOWNS WHICH FURNISHED COMPANY D.
By Edwin L. Wage.
Under President Lincolns call, July Ist, 1862, the quota of men to be raised in Orleans County was 888. Before September 15th, 1016 men had volunteered, exceeding the mumber called for by 128. About the middle of July George S. Hutchinson and Isaac Hallock received commissions from the goverment to re- cruit men to form a company to be attached to some regiment to be organized later, which afterwards became Company D, and the color company of the 151st Regiment.
During the month of July war meetings were held in every village and hamlet in the county for the purpose of enlisting men and raising money to pay bounties to those enlisting. One of the novel means to raise money at several of the war meetings, was for some patriotic farmer to donate to the cause a cow, which would be brought to the place where the meeting was held and put up and raffled for. In one case the tickets sold amounted to over $200, the lucky man getting the cow immediately selling her at anction, the cow bringing some $40, which was also turned over to the fund.
