REMINISCENT INTRODUCTION FOR COMPANY G.


By William W. De Wolf.


The first call for volunteers for Co. G, was at Holley, in the town of Murray, in August, 1862. The meeting was held in the Academy yard, and though the speakers are not fresh in my mind, I think one was Robinson by name. After the speeches the chairman called for vohmteers. Several put their names down; some of them being, E. D. Bronson, George Harwood, Fordyce Brace, Edward W. Glidden, Wellington Tibbits, James Dalton, William W. De Wolf. It was a very enthusiastic meet- ing. The next one was held at Hulberton. It was called a war meeting. We got out some bills for the meeting and sent them to the different towns. At this time there was an ice-breaker ly- ing in the Basin at Holley, and we trimmed it up with evergreens and flags, and put planks across for seats. We got a small drum corps, and hired a boy, horse and tow-line and started for the meeting. A jolly crowd of boys and girls reached there safely. Jolm W. Graves, of Medina, addressed a large gathering in the church, and a mmber of reernits was the result. Our next meet- ing was held at Hindsburg. We took the ice-breaker again and, stopping at Hulberton quite a number joined us to attend the meeting. On the way Dan Burnett or "Our Dan" as the girls called him, and two girls in a buggy, were driving fast, more interested in our craft than in their own welfare and ran into a simbbing post. Damages were soon repaired, and at the meet- ing, I think Dan, with John Gwynne, Leander Gillispie, and oth- ers, volunteered.


Company G was recruited mostly from the towns of Murray, Clarendon and Kendall. We did not raise enough men to fill our quota from these towns, and so we were consolidated with part of a company from Middleport and the western part of the

county. Bientenant Edward Hart and Sergeant Walter E. Lecor and others came from there.


Company G was composed of as bright a number of young men as ever went into the service of Uncle Sam. They were mostly farmer boys, well brought up and most all educated. The officers of Co. G were made up of men of high moral standard. Capt. Potter was a kind and efficient officer; First Lieutenant Hart was a man of learning and a gentleman in his deportment and liked by all; Second Lieutenant B. F. Miller was an officer of high moral and religious convictions, which he carried through life; Orderly Sergeant John Wetherbee was always of a kind disposition and honorable in all his acts. John W. Sim- kins and Walter Lecor were both true soldiers and an honor to the company and regiment to which they belonged.


When I look back and think of those I was more intimate with, it seems but yesterday. I can see Corporal James Dalton or Jimmie as we used to call him, with his violin fastened on his knapsack, while on the march. As soon as we got to camp he would time up his violin and begin to play some of those old ยท time pieces such as " The Rocky Road to Dublin, " "The Devil's Dream" and sometimes "The Girl I Left Behind Me." He was my tent mate for some time. At the battle of Cold Harbor he lost one of his legs.


Edward Glidden, whose body lies buried in Towa Soil, and E. Darwin Bronson, who was of a quiet disposition and well liked by all, were also intimate friends. And where are these boys now ? Some of them are sleeping in Southern graves and some of them in cemeteries of the North, and some of those who are left are bent with age and disease, brought on by the exposure of camp life, and can hardly keep step to the tap of the drum, and will soon answer the last roll call and join in that grand reunion on the other shore.
