King, John B .- Promoted from sergeant December 10, 1862, with rank from November 26, 1862 ; wounded and taken prisoner at Brandy Station, Va., June 9, 1863 ; died in Libby Prison Hospital, July 31, 1863.


Lieutenant John B. King was born in Franklin County, Vermont, December 31, 1819. When quite young his parents removed to northern New York, where he learned the carpen- ter's trade. He followed it for a few years, when, believing he had a divine calling to preach the gospel, he entered a university and later united with the Black River Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which his father, Rev. Lynden King, was at the time labor- ing. While the Tenth New York Cavalry was stationed at Gettysburg, in the winter of 1861-'62, comrade King preached several sermons there.


As a speaker he was rapid, forceful, and logical. He was an outspoken, fearless, and uncompromising temperance and anti-slavery advocate. Much of his time was given to lect- uring on these subjects. His attitude on these questions made him many warm friends and some bitter enemies, some of the latter exhibiting their animosity in the destruction of his property and acts of personal violence.


On the breaking out of the war he was preaching at Cicero and Fort Brewerton, in Onon- daga County, New York. He felt impelled to enter the army and bear his part in the struggle for the maintenance of the Union. Some of his friends urged him to seek a position as chap- lain in some regiment, but his answer was, "No, I have been preaching for peace much of my life, and now I am going to fight for it."


With his second son he enlisted and was mustered into the Tenth New York Cavalry, De- cember 5, 1861. He served faithfully with the Regiment up to the battle of Brandy Station, Va., June 9, 1863, where toward the close of the engagement he was wounded while gallantly leading his men, having his left arm shattered. He was captured and sent to Libby Prison, and after four or five weeks the arm was amputated at the shoulder. After lingering for about ten days he passed away. Colonel Irvine, who was with him during much of the time of his imprisonment, seeing the near approach of death, asked him if he wished to send any word to his family, to which he replied : "Yes ; tell them I died like a Christian and a sol- dier."


It is not too much to say, that among the thousands of brave and noble lives that were sacrificed to save our country from traitors' rule, the name of Lieutenant John B. King stands among the foremost.


Colonel Frank Place, of Cortland, N. Y., formerly sergeant of Company B, pays the fol- lowing beautiful tribute to Lieutenant King's character :


"It may not, however, be improper to add, that while a prisoner of war I was sent to the prison hospital. On reaching the hospital I found Lieutenant King suffering from a wound received at Brandy Station. Being too ill to minister to myself, I was, of course, unable to render him assistance. He grew worse and died. It gives me great pleasure to say that Colonel Irvine was permitted to be with him and to close his eyes in death. Lieutenant King died, as he had fought, with his face toward his foe, and, though a captive, he died in the tri- umphs of a Christian faith. The dark river and the silent oarsman, I believe, were trans- figured for him, and he was greeted upon the Elysian fields by brave men who had fought with Napoleon at Austerlitz or Alexander in his conquest of the East."


Pierce, John G .- Age twenty-two; enlisted from Cortland, October 12, 1861; commissioned January 7, 1862, with rank from December 12, 1861; mus- tered in from December 23, 1861; promoted to first lieutenant December 10, 1862.


Pratt, John T .- Promoted from first sergeant November 21, 1864, with rank from November 4, 1864; mustered in December 12, 1864; promoted to first lieutenant January 16, 1865.


Reynolds, James M .- Promoted from first sergeant June 14, 1864, with rank from May 25, 1864; promoted to first lieutenant, Company L, November 21, 1864.


Van Tuyl, John J .- Promoted from first sergeant February 9, 1864, with rank from June 9, 1863; mustered in April 3, 1864; promoted to first lieutenant June 14, 1864.
