The company was credited with five first lieutenants, two of whom were pro- moted from second lieutenants of the company, one from second lieutenant, Com- pany F, one from second lieutenant, Company G, and one from second lieutenant, Company H. Of these, one was promoted to captain of the company, one to cap- tain, Company G, one to captain, Company H, one was discharged for disability, and one was transferred in the same grade to Company L, First N. Y. Prov. Cav.
The second lieutenants numbered six, of whom two were promoted from first and one from duty sergeants of the company, one from quartermaster-sergeant, Company G, one from commissary sergeant, Company A, and one from private, Company B. One of these was discharged by order, three were promoted to first lieutenants of the company, one to first lieutenant, Company E, and one trans- ferred to Company I.
There were sixteen sergeants, of whom one first, one quartermaster, one com- missary, and five duty sergeants were mustered in with the company, five were promoted from corporals, and three from the ranks. Of these, one committed suicide, one was promoted to regimental commissary, one to sergeant-major, one discharged for promotion to One Hundred and Eighty-fifth N. Y. Vols., three were promoted to second lieutenants of the company, four mustered out as supernu- meraries, one transferred to the V. R. C., and four to Company L, First N. Y. Prov. Cav.

Pierce, John G .- Promoted from first lieutenant, Company G, January 12, 1863, with rank from December 23, 1862; resigned December 13, 1863, per Special Order No. 552, par. 33, A. G. O., 1863.
John G. Pierce was born in the town of Locke, Cayuga County, reared in Truxton, educated at the Homer Academy, entered the law-office of Hon. Horatio Ballard, and was admitted to the bar. From a youth he possessed a burning ambition to distinguish himself in life. He was possessed of noble impulses and high aspirations after excellence. He chose the profes- sion of the law in which to work, because that was adapted to his ability and congenial to his tastes. As a lawyer he was thorough, penetrating, and masterlý. He rarely lost a suit, be -- cause, as he told me once, he would not take a case unless he knew he had the right of it. Had he lived, he would doubtless have made his mark in his chosen calling, while as it is his short career adorned its annals. While sitting in his law-office he heard the echo of the open- ing guns in the war, and at once started up for his country's defense. With another, he raised a company of cavalry, was chosen second lieutenant, and joined the Tenth Regiment N. Y. Cavalry. He afterward rose to captain, and sometimes commanded the Regiment itself. In the army his keen legal mind did not escape the observation of his companions, and in many courts-martial he occupied the position of judge advocate. During the war he was called into most active service, and while on one of those wild and fearful raids, lasting eight days, in which he scarcely left the saddle, he contracted the disease which carried him to an early and lamented grave. As a young man he was generous, kind, honorable, manly, and gained friends that loved him as they did their lives. His death is a loss to the world. Young men of ability superior to his are exceedingly rare, and their services can ill be spared. In his early life he became identified in a revival that was in progress at Truxton, and was thought to have experienced religion. During his sickness he expressed himself as satisfied that his destiny would be bettered by an exchange of worlds. He died suddenly, and unexpectedly to all, at Groton, N. Y., June 15, 1868, aged twenty-six years .- J. P. B.

Mahany, Michael .- Promoted from corporal January 1, 1865; promoted to first sergeant April 9, 1865; transferred June 24, 1865, to Company M, First N. Y. Prov. Cav.
Michael Mahany was but sixteen years old when he entered the service. Apropos of his enlistment, the following, taken from a private letter to the historian, illustrates the noble impulses and frank character of the man :
"Your recollection of the circumstances attending my enlistment is quite correct. I ar- rived in Elinira from my home in Bradford County, Pa., on the 15th day of December, 1862. I Inquired of the first soldier I met in the city where I could enlist. This soldier's name was John Davis. We met you on the street, and Davis told you I wanted to enlist. You said, ' All right ; come with me.' You went with me to Dr. Wey, the examining surgeon. After a rigid physical examination he asked my age, which I gave as twenty-one. Davis had previously told me that no one would be taken under that age, and that if I gave my age as twenty-

one it would be all right. But it wasn't. The doctor knew better, and told me so. He said I wasn't eighteen. I insisted that I was, but couldn't convince him. (I was sixteen the 4th day of the preceding October.) The doctor said he couldn't pass me for the cavalry service, but would for the infantry. (A supposed attefipt at a joke on my age.) When he refused to pass me for the cavalry service my heart went down to zero. I then resolved to go anyway, and told you as much. You said, 'All right ; report to me to-morrow morning at ten o'clock.' You took me to another doctor, who was not so exacting. He gave me a couple of thumps on the breast, and said, ' He's all right ; just the sort of men we want.' How my heart went up! As I was under age, it became necessary to have my parents' consent. This I knew I could not get, as I already had two brothers in the army (one of whom died later). You kindly vol- unteered to become my guardian, for which I felt very grateful. You directed me to report to the barracks, where I was uniformed. Wasn't I proud then ? En passant, a word about that uniform. The jacket was about three sizes too large for me. The collar stood above my ears; in order to look around, it was necessary to turn my body in the required direction. The trousers, like the jacket, were too liberal in their fit-large enough for the biggest man in the camp. It was necessary to take up several reefs in the lower extremities, but, with the hope that I might some day increase my physical proportions so as to fill the suit, I felt happy, and was proud of my uniform.
"A few days later I was attacked with sore throat and sent to the hospital. I was in great trepidation lest the company should be ordered to the front and I be left behind, but my con- tinual pleadings with the surgeon in charge to be allowed to go so incensed him that at last he allowed me to go, and I have never been sick in the hospital since, during more than twenty- seven years' consecutive service."
When Company M, a little later, was ordered to the front, young Mahany accompanied it, and continued with it through all its successive service. In the engagement at Brandy Station, June 9, 1863, his horse was shot from under him and he was taken prisoner, but was recapt- ured on the battle-field. Ten days later, at Middleburg, he received a gunshot-wound. He served as orderly to General G. K. Warren from August, 1863, to February, 1864. In the en- gagement at Deep Bottom, Va., a bullet singed the hair above his ear, which he mentions, in the letter already referred to, as follows :
". . . A bullet burned a passage through my hair just over my right ear, which affected my head curiously for several days, causing me to awaken from sound slumbers with the swish of that terrible bullet through my hair. When I was discharged from the Regiment there were gray hairs on the right side of my head, although I was not then nineteen years old."
At the battle of Ream's Station, Va., he was knocked from his horse by an exploding shell.
Just before General Lee's surrender, April 9, 1865, while on the skirmish-line, he raised his carbine, and was about to fire at a rebel, when a bullet struck the lock-plate of his carbine and glanced off-a providential interposition between him and certain death, as the bullet would have entered his breast but for the carbine. As it was, he received a severe shock.
He was promoted to corporal, sergeant, and first sergeant, being transferred to the First N. Y. Provisional Cavalry in the latter grade. He was present and participated in every en- gagement in which the Regiment took part, except while on orderly duty at Second Corps headquarters.
He enlisted in Company K, Third U. S. Infantry, February 23, 1866; was promoted to cor- poral, sergeant, and first sergeant ; served in the campaigns of 1866-'67 against the Cheyenne, Kiowas, and Comanche Indians, and commanded a detachment of infantry and cavalry at Wilson's Creek, in the Smoky Hill Valley, in the winter of 1866-'67; re-enlisted as first sergeant in the same company and regiment February 24, 1869, holding the latter.rank from July, 1867, to date of discharge, February 23, 1872 ; re-enlisted in the U. S. Signal Corps, February 24, 1872 ; promoted corporal, sergeant, and first sergeant; has been a non-commissioned officer in the regular service twenty-six and a half years, more than eighteen years of which hare been as first sergeant.
In accordance with an Act of Congress, approved September 30, 1890, he was placed on the retired list in March, 1891. He was commissioned by the President of the United States a cap- tain in the National Guard of the District of Columbia, May 15, 1888.
