RECENT MILITIA ORGANIZATIONS.
From 1860 to 1864, there were two militia companies in the county ; a com- pany of artillery at Lowville, and one of infantry at Copenhagen. In 1863, the 87th Regiment of State militia was formed by Governor Seymour and included Lewis county with other territory.
The Lowville Greys, were mustered into the State militia service, February 15, 1871, in pursuance of a resolution of
the Board of Supervisors, and they were mustered out February 15, 1882. They were known in the record as the " 19th Separate Company of Infantry N. G.," and were commanded by Captain and Brevet-Colonel Henry E. Turner from organization till October 1880, when he resigned, and Captain Louis A. Scott, succeeded him. Its last officers were L. A. Scott, Captain ; A. A. Pelton, Ist Lieutenant ; and J. H. Locklin, 2d Lieu- tenant.
COUNTY ARMORY.
The old frame building first erected for Trinity church was removed to Sha- dy Avenue by Moses M. Smith, and in November, 1864, was bought for a county armory for $1,800, and this sum was ap- plied upon a judgment held by the coun- ty against Smith and others,* in a mat- ter growing out of a settlement of his accounts as County Treasurer. The building was held by the county until afterwards sold, upon the general dis- continuance of county armories under a general law.

COMMEMORATION CELEBRATION.
THE NATIONAL SEMI-CENTENNIAL CEL- EBRATION IN 1826.
THE completion of the first half-cent- ury of our National history, was duly celebrated by a county meeting held at Lowville, July 4, 1826, and pre- sented a feature of peculiar interest from the number of Revolutionary vet- erans assembled from all parts of the county, to honor it with their presence. Fifty-five of these were present at the dinner, and their names, present and

THE CENTENNIAL OF 1876.
This was not celebrated within the county in any manner materially differ- ing from common years. The trustees of the Lowville Academy published a history of their institution upon the in- vitation of the Bureau of Education at Washington, covering the period of their existence down to that year.
But the citizens in multitudes visited the great Exhibition at Philadelphia, and some lingered many days at that place. We are not aware that any arti-

cles were sent for exhibition in the way of productions, or manufactures, except- ing a series of mounted birds, prepared by Romeyn B. Hough, now Curator of the Cabinet of Birds and Mammals at Cornell University, which were placed there upon invitation of the Commis- sioner of Education, the Hon. John Eaton, and at the expense of the Gov- ernment. A series of the publications by the author of this volume, and number- ing over sixty titles, was also placed there, under the same direction.
CHAPTER XIX.
LEWIS COUNTY IN THE LATE WAR. First Days of the War.
HE citizens of Lewis county felt a T" lively interest in the progress of events which led to the fall of Sumter, but did not organize until after that event. On the 22d of April, the follow- ing call was published over the signa- tures of sixty-nine prominent citizens, representing both parties, and residing in nearly every town :--
" Citizens of Lewis County :- Our be- loved country is infested with armed and organized bands of traitors. Our forts have been seized, the treasury robbed, and loyal citizens killed in de- fending the flag of our Union! The Federal Capital is in danger. The Pres- ident of the United States, and the Gov- ernor of the State of New York, call the citizen soldiery to the rescue! Meet with us at the Town Hall in Lowville, on Saturday, at one o'clock P. M., to adopt measures for responding to these calls, and thereby testify in a substantial manner, to our Love of Country, -- our devotion to Civil Liberty."
This call was circulated by hand-bill and in both county papers. On the same date, [April 22d,] Horace R. Lahe, a journeyman printer in the office of the Journal & Republican, issued a call for
volunteers by hand-bill, and his efforts resulted in the formation of a company, afterwards known as Company 1, 14th New York Volunteers. Captain Lahe went out and returned as Captain of this company.
At about the same time, William N. Angle, a merchant at Copenhagen, suc- ceeded in forming another company, which became Company B, 35th New York Volunteers. Spirited meetings were held at Copenhagen to promote this enterprise, which interested the towns of Denmark, Pinckney and Har- risburgh.
The first of these meetings at Copen- hagen, was held on the evening of April 26th, at the Baptist church, and was very enthusiastic. Thirty-five volunteers had, at its close, enrolled their names in Cap- tain Angle's company, including those who had proviously enlisted, and liberal subscriptions were pledged. It wasesti- mated that these would amount to $3,000.
The county meeting was held, pursu- ant to notice, on the 27th of April, and was well attended. Ziba Knox, Esq., was called to preside, and the proceed- ings were opened by a prayer. After short addresses, made by several citi- zens, the following resolutions were adopted :--
Resolved, It is the sense of this meet- ing that the Federal Government should be sustained and defended as the com- mon household of every American.
Resolved, It is the duty of the Govern- ment to keep open every communication to the National Capitol at every cost, except the surrender of the Government itself.
Resolved, That the business of this meeting be carried out by the commit- tees :--
I. A general committee of three each, from Lowville, Martinsburgh, Turin, Watson, New Bremen, Greig, West Turin and Leyden, to solicit subscrip- tions and funds; Ist, to pay the expenses
144
HISTORY OF LEWIS COUNTY
of volunteers, between enrollment and mustering ; 2d, to pay the expenses to muster into the service of the State, or the United States; 3d, to relieve the families of such volunteers during the term of their enlistment.
II. An Executive committee of six, to secure such funds, and assess such sub- scriptions pro rata, and to pay out the same. The minimum allowance to a family of a volunteer, was fixed at $10.00 per month, and the sum of $1,410 was subscribed upon the spot.
The executive committee appointed at this meeting consisted of DeWitt C. West, Elaida S. Merrill, Rutson Rea, Diodate Pease, Edwin S. Cadwell, and James H. Sheldon.
At a subsequent meeting of this com- mittee, Mr. West was appointed chair- man ; James L. Leonard, treasurer ; and Diodate Pease, secretary. They con- tinued their existence through the first year of the war; and about forty per cent. of the subscriptions were collected and paid to families, or otherwise spent in the recruiting service.
Village and neighborhood meetings were held throughout the county, at which liberty poles were raised, and sub- scriptions taken for the encouragement of volunteers, and the relief of families.
At a period dating from about the 29th of April, the Hon. Henry E. Turner, then County Judge, announced his in- tention of raising a company of Flying Artillery, of one hundred men. This measure was abandoned, but with his aid, Mr. Charles E. Mink, engineer on the steamer L. R Lyon, began enlist- ments which resulted in part, in the for- mation of Company H, Ist New York Artillery, of which Mr. Turner became Lieutenant-Colonel.
Colonel Guilford D. Bailey, of this regiment, who afterwards fell at Fair Oaks, was a native of Lewis county, and a graduate of West Point. He was in the army that General Twiggs disband- ed in Texas, at the opening of the war,
and an earnest patriot. His name doubt- less gave prestige to this effort, which was entirely successful, but the regi- ment, before entering the field, was di- vided into batteries, and its individuality was in a measure lost.
Captain Angle's company left for Elmira on the 9th of May, and Captain Lahe's company for Albany at about the same time. While remaining in the county, such of the volunteers as had left home, were liberally supported in the families of citizens.
In June, a company roll was opened by Philip W. Smith, at Lowville, and several volunteers were enlisted for a company at first intended for the " An- derson Zouaves," but finally merged in Company B, 59th New York Volun- teers. To promote this enterprise, a public meeting was held on the 22d of June, at the Town Hall, in Lowville, and a committee was appointed, consisting of F. B. Hough, S. Sylvester, C. G. Riggs, Edwin Woolworth, and Thomas Baker, including the town of Lowville, and all south on the central tier of towns, who were authorized to call future meet- ings to promote enlistments, and raise means for supporting families. This measure was thought necessary, because the avails of the April meeting were applicable only to Captain Lahe's Com- pany.
This meeting was addressed by the Hon. Caleb Lyon, of Lyonsdale, Rev. Mr. Ball, Rev. S. H. Taft, Prof. Bennett, Rev. Mr. Ferris, Rev. Mr. Lockwood and others, and committees were appointed in the southern towns to raise subscriptions for Captain Smith's company. Under this effort subsequent local meetings were held, and considerable sums were raised.
The Rev. Jerome B. Taft, who had begun with Smith, subsequently started an independent company, of which the greater part were enlisted out of the
145

county. It became Company E, 59th N. Y. Vols.
Mr. Newton Hall, of Leyden, began, in June, to enlist men for a cavalry com- pany, and succeeded in forming what was afterwards known as Company G, 3d N. Y. Cavalry. He entered as Captain, and was promoted to Major in the last year of the war. His men were chiefly from the towns of Leyden and Greig.
The Fourth of July was celebrated with unusually impressive proceedings at Lowville and elsewhere in the county.
With the exception of the companies raised by Captains Angle and Lahe, none had left the county before the date of the First Battle of Bull Run.
As no entire regiment or other sepa- rate organization was enlisted in Lewis county during the late war, it would be quite impossible to ascertain approxi- mately the number that entered the service from the several towns.
In taking the State census in 1865, while a part of the volunteer forces were still in the field, and at a time when all further enlistments had ceased, an inquiry was made in each family as to the number who had entered the service. The tend- ency would be to error in returning too few, rather than too many, as some who had enlisted may not have belonged to any family that could answer for them. This inquiry gave a return as follows: Croghan, 123 ; Denmark, 107 ; Diana, IO1 ; Greig, 144 ; Harrisburgh, 70; High Mar- ket, 21 ; Lewis, 10; Leyden, 48; Lowville, 118; Martinsburgh, 112; Montague, 39; New Bremen, 96; Osceola, 36; Pinckney, 55 ; Turin, 73 ; Watson, 50; West Turin, 50. Total, 1,253.
The muster-in rolls of first entrance (but not of recruits who joined after- wards,) have been published, but in some cases the volunteers were not mustered in until reaching Albany, Elmira, or some other rendezvous. In other cases, persons may have been enlisted within
the county who did not reside in it, and others who were residents enlisted elsewhere. Anexamination of the printed rolls above mentioned shows the follow- ing members :-
14th Infantry, (2 years,) chiefly raised in Oneida county, mustered into the ser- vice of the United States at Albany, May 17, 1861 ; mustered out May 24, 1863. Captain Horace R. Lahe raised Company 1 of this regiment, chiefly in Lowville. A few from the southern border may have joined Captain Muller's company, chiefly raised in Boonville.
35th Infantry, (2 years,) chiefly raised in Jefferson county, mustered into ser- vice at Elmira, June 11, 1861 ; mustered out June 5, 1863. Captain William N. Angle, of Copenhagen, raised Company B of this regiment, of whom 79 were from that place.
59th Infantry, (3 years,) mustered in from July Ist, to December, 1861, at New York; mustered out June 30, 1865. Captain Philip W. Smith, of Lowville, raised part of a company in the county. About 55 men from the county joined the regiment, of whom 39 entered Smith's company.
94th Infantry, (3 years,) chiefly raised in Jefferson county, mustered into ser- vice at Sackett's Harbor, March, 1862 ; mustered out July 18, 1865. About 64 men from Lewis county, chiefly from the northern towns, entered this regiment, of whom II were in Company F, 3 in H, 45 in I, and 5 in K.
97th Infantry, (3 years,) chiefly raised in Oneida, Herkimer and Lewis counties, mustered into service at Boonville, Feb- ruary, 1862, mustered out July 18, 1865. About 120 men originally entered this regiment from the county, of whom 3 were in Company A; 60 in B (Captain Wm. R. Parsons); 11 in C (Captain Stephen Manchester) ; 40 in H (Captain Anton Brendle, chiefly Germans) ; and 6 in Company K.
186th Infantry, (1 year,) chiefly raised in Jefferson county, mustered in at Sackett's Harbor, in August and Sep- tember, 1864 ; mustered out June 2, 1865. About 130 men joined from this county, of whom 23 were in Company A (Cap- tain H. J. Welch); 2 in D; 100 in F

Wilder, Company C, 131 men; Cap- tain, George W. Hubbard, Company D, 14I men, from Lewis county.
Ioth Artillery .- First known as "Ist, 2d and 4th Battalions, Black River Ar- tillery," organized September 11th to December 22, 1862, New York City ; mustered out, June 23, 1865. A few men from this county - 3 in company F, (Captain E. McGrath,) and 8, raised by 2d Lieutenant John E. Pritchard ; 27 in Captain Seneca R. Cowles' company, and 5 in Captain B. B. Taggarts com- pany.
13th Artillery .- Mustered in August, 1863 to September 1864. Transferred to ćth Heavy Artillery, June 27, 1868; 18 men from Lewis county.
19th Artillery .- Chiefly organized at Rochester, August 29th to December 17, 1863 ; mustered out, August 26, 1865. about 1 13 men from this county, of whom 38 were in Captain John Weed's company; 5 in Captain David Jones'; 12 in Cap- tain W. A. Treadwell's; 8 in Captain Chauncey Wilkes'; 30 in Captain Je- rome Cooper's ; 19 in Captain Charles H. Houghton's; and i in Captain Luther Kieffer's.
2d Cavalry .- (Afterwards called 7th Cavalry), 8 companies mustered in at Troy and Elmira, October 8th, to Novem- ber 6, 1861 ; mustered out, March 31, 1862. Captain John Wesley Horr's company had about 50 men from the county, and a small number in one or two other companies.
3d Cavalry. - Mustered in at New York, July 17, August 22, 1861. Con-
solidated with 7th Cavalry, July 21, 1865. Captain Newton Hall's Company G, had 34 men, when first mustered, from this county.
18th Cavalry .- Mustered in at New York, from July 18, 1863, to February 3, 1864. Some 9 or 10 men in Company L, were from Lewis county.
20th Cavalry .-- Mustered in at Sackett's Harbor, September, 1863; mustered out, July 31, 1865. In this regiment, known as the "Mcclellan Cavalry," Captain Charles F. Smith's company, contained 66 Lewis county men; Captain John O'Hara's company B, 4 ; Captain Norris M. Carter's company E, 32; Captain Carpenter's 2 ; Captain J. J. Carroll's 6; Captain S. L. Bridgford's, and Captain J. F. Thompson's each 2; and Captain F. Stewart 3, when first mustered.
26th Cavalry. - " Frontier Cavalry," organized at various places from Decem- ber 29, 1863 to February 22, 1864, for I year ; mustered out July 7, 1865. The number who entered this regiment can- not be stated, as they were mustered in at Watertown.
Many natives of the county who had previously emigrated to other sections of the country, entered the service as members of regiments of other States. It would therefore be quite impossible to state with even an approach to accuracy, the share actually taken by the county in the war.
It may however be safely stated, that no section of the North, evinced a greater willingness 'to incur the dangers or to bear the burdens of that period, than did Northern New York, and that were the personal annals of the war written fully up, they would present instances of pa- triotism as fervent as could be furnished in the history of any period of the world.

in families, the names and details of ser- vice of members belonging to the family who had been, or who then were in the military or naval service of the United States. There were no returns made concerning the dead from the towns of High Market and Lewis, and from the other towns the list is manifestly imper- fect, and perhaps it may be in some re- spects erroneous in the spelling of names, and in the names of regiments and dates. It is not therefore presented as a full list, but as a list returned in the manner above mentioned, and without opportunity of verification by reference to other rec- ords.
