Frank G. Bolls was born at Oxford, N. Y., in 1833, and educated at the Oxford Academy; completing his edu- cation he engaged in the hardware business at Unadilla. N. Y. When the first call for three months' men was made he left his business in charge of his brother and enlisted in Co. F, 121st N. Y. V., and was mustered into service at Mohawk, N. Y., as Second Lieutenant, he hav- ing recruited a number of men for Co. F. By reason of


-228-


poor health, caused by a fall near White Oak Church, while out on picket duty, and a sprained back, he resigned in February, 1863, and returned to Unadilla to his former business. He was a charter member of Siver Post, and was elected first Commander in August, 1879, serving until Jan. 1, 1880. He was Post Master at Unadilla during Cleveland's administration.


Warren Curtis, Commander elected to succeed Mr. Bolles, was born at Franklin, Delaware county, N. Y., Oct. 24, 1850. When three years old removed to Unadilla, N. Y., and while attending school at that place, enlisted at Norwich, N. Y., in August, 1863 (when only twelve years old) as a private in Co. E, the famous Irish regi- ment, 69th N. Y. Vols., and was mustered into the U. S. service under Captain Peter Sweeney, Aug. 27, 1863. Ordered to the front, going to Petersburg, Va. Soon after enlisting was made sergeant, and appointed drum- mer in Co. E, 69th, N. Y. V. His record is that of his regiment, participating in all its battles until the close of the war. The record of that famous regiment stands without a peer ; composed entirely of the patriotic sons of the sturdy Celtic race. The heroic deeds of the 69th N. Y. Vols. on the battle field can never be effaced as long as time shall last. And when the memories of war are growing dim, the gratitude of the loyal American cit- izen of the Anglo-Saxon race will be just as keen and ap- preciative as in the darkest hour of danger, to the noble men of Irish birth, who did such splendid service that the country to which they had sworn allegiance and loved so well might live. Curtis was discharged and mustered out of the service at Alexandria, June 5th, 1865, return- ing to Sidney in poor health, where he remained an inva- lid for eighteen months. In 1867 he went to Binghamton, N. Y., and entered the Commercial College, where he

In 1871 he went to Franklin, Delaware county, and worked at and learned the tin-smith trade. In 1874 went to Illinois, where he worked at his trade until the winter of the same year, when he returned to Unadilla, where he has since resided, and at the present time has charge of the the tin shop connected with the hardware house of W. H. Crocker. He was a charter member of C. C. Sivier Post, and at its organization in October, 1876, was elected Junior Vice Commander, and in the December following was elected Commander to serve during the year 1880. He being but 29 years old when elected, is entitled to the distinction and the honor of being the youngest Past Commander in the State. His administration was one of thorough discipline, the Post becoming one of influence and prominence in the depart- ment. He was again elected Commander in 1889, and served with distinction, winning renewed honor as a pre- siding officer. He is now serving his third term as adju- tant of the Post.

North Hose Co., a prominent Mason, and at present Junior Warden of Freedom Lodge, of Una- dilla, N. Y., and has held the civil office of collector of the town of Unadilla. Servimg during his term of office in the different societies which have elected him, he has honored himself as well as the society which he has represented.

1851, and educated at the Academy at that place ; leaving school in 1870; learned the tinsmith trade at Oneonta, N. Y., and in 1871 entered the employ of North & Siver, at Unadilla. In 1873 accepted a position with J. H. La- throp, at Norwich, N. Y .; went to Bainbridge in 1874 in the employ of Isaac Sterling, remaining until 1880; then going to Masonville, Delaware county, he embarked in the general hardware trade, where he did a successful business and made many friends ; disposing of his busi- ness interests at that place in 1890, he returned to Una- dilla and accepted a position as traveling salesman in the employ of Babcock & Stowell of Binghamton, N. Y., re- maining in their employ but a short time however, when he purchased the stock of Cone & Bolles, hardware deal- ers at Unadilla, and the following spring sold his stock to C. H. Stebbins, and in the fall of 1891 succeeded W. H. Heslop, general hardware dealer, corner of Main and Clifton streets, Unadilla, where he is now doing a thriving business. The administration of his office has been at- tended with the same business tact as is given to his pri- vate business. The Camp has wisely retained him to suc- ceed himself as his terms of office have expired, the roster of the Camp showing about thirty members and is steadily increasing. He is a most companionable officer and gen- tleman, and through his influence the Camp is fast becom- ing renowned for great zeal and soeiability.
