(III) Major Hiram W .. son of John Day, was born in Hermon, March 13. 1835. He was educated in the town schools, the Gouverneur Wesleyan Institute, and the St. Lawrence Academy at Potsdam. At the two latter schools he worked his way, at the Wesleyan Institute by acting as bell ringer. He studied law in the office of Jud- son & Powell, Ogdensburg, and was admit- ted to the bar in 1859. He remained in the office of that firm until 1862, when he en- tered the army.


When, in 1862, President Lincoln issued his call for three hundred thousand inen, Mr. Day, with Colonel Judd, Captain Paine and S. C. Judson enlisted a large part of the men who composed the One Hundred and Sixth New York Volunteer Infantry regiment. On August 27 he went out as first lieutenant of Company A. but was in command of it until he was commissioned captain, March 3. 1863. He showed him- self to be a man of resolution, with ability to command, and a bravery almost amount- ing to recklessness. The most notable in- stances of his service in the field follow. With a small number of men he captured the celebrated guerrilla Sam Hi and his gang, and a captain of the Confederate cav- alry with nineteen of his recruits. At the af- fair at Martinsburg. Virginia, where Lee's army was checked by a few companies nin- der Colonel James, Captain Day with his company was at the front, and bore the heavy work of the day. He joined the Army of the Potomac just after the battle of Gettysburg, and in November following was detailed as acting assistant inspector- general, Third Brigade. Third Division. Third Army Corps. At Locust Grove he prevented a general stampede of the brigade by holding two companies in check, revolver


in hand, and with Lieutenant Judson de- ployed and opened fire upon the enemy, eventually holding the left of the line and winning the day. He took part in all the battles of the Wilderness, was acting assist- ant inspector general. First Brigade, Third Division, Sixth Army Corps, and bore his full share of the honors that gave the One Hundred and Sixth Regiment so terrible a name to the rebels. At the Slaughter Pen and Cold Harbor his company and brigade were in the front of the battle, and, while losing many men, covered themselves with glory. At the battle of Monocacy. Mary- land, one of the fiercest of the war. and which saved Washington City from capture, his brigade also bore the brunt of the bat- tle. During the latter part of this engage- ment Captain Day was the only living non- disabled staff officer on the entire line, and. though constantly on horseback and exposed to the close musketry fire of five thousand of the enemy, he assisted Colonel Truax to retire the troops in good order, after Gen- eral Lew Wallace had ordered a surrender. In this battle his brigade of three thousand men left upon the field twelve hundred and ninety-five killed, wounded and disabled. The Confederate General Early said that he lost in that battle nine hundred killed, be- sides his wounded.


Captain Day also participated in the bat- tles of Winchester, Fisher's Hill. Cedar Run. and other notable engagements, and escaped without a wound. At the battle of Cedar Creek he twice saved the regimental colors, and was brevetted major "for bril- liant and meritorious service during the war. especially in the Shenandoah Valley." Re- ferring to the Cedar Creek engagement. General J. Warren Keifer wrote to Captain Day at a later time, it being his seventy- fifth birthday : "I remember very well when I put you in charge of a sort of forlorn hope party with instructions to break the Con- federate line late in the evening of October 19th. 1864. and also remember how gal- lantly you carried out this order, which re-

sulted in breaking the line and enabling the Third Division of the Sixth Army Corps. which I then commanded, to charge through and break the center of the Confederate army under General Jubal 1. Early, and together resulted in the overthrow and rout of the Confederate army, giving to the Un- ion army the most complete victory of the civil war, and made the name of General Philip H. Sheridan immortal."


In the assault on Petersburg. April 2. 1865, Captain Day led the First Brigade, Third Division, Sixth Army Corps, on the left of the assaulting line, capturing three redoubts and forts. At Sailor's Creek he re- ceived the flag of truce from Major Pe- gram, of General Pegram's South Carolina division, surrendering Major General Fw- ell, Major General Custis Lee, Major Gen- eral Pegram, General Burbridge. Commo- dore Tucker, Conunodore Senis, and their forces of ten thousand men, with the entire Richmond reserve troops. He was also pres- ent at the surrender of Lee to Grant. At various times. by special assignment. he served as judge advocate and as acting as- sistant inspector general from his detail in November. 1863.


At the close of the war. Major Day went to St. Louis, in the insurance business. Later he removed to Peoria, Illinois, and became business manager for the Peoria Evening Review, with Baldwin, and the famous Robert T. Burdette. In 1873 he returned to Ogdensburg. New York, and in 1874 to Hermion. where he has since been engaged in the practice of law. He has sent several cases to the court of appeals. and has been prominent in selecting and purchasing right of way for the railroad which has recently come into Hermon, the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg Rail- road. at De Kalb Junction to Stella Mines and Hermon. He was the original promoter of this mining property, and selected. pur- chased and established the railroad in per- son to those mines from De Kalb Junction.
