CAPTAIN JOHN O. SCOTT.


Captain John O. Scott, Company D, was born in Chazy, Clinton County, N. Y. He enlisted in 1861, and was appointed first lieutenant of his company, and later became its captain. After his discharge he returned to his home town. In 1867, he settled in Waupaca, Wis., and practised his chosen profession of dentistry. Captain Scott was a brave, competent, and conscientious officer, and was severely wounded at Fair Oaks, Va., May 31, 1862. Dr. Scott was an expert in his business ; verv intellectual, and a wonderful Bible student. He was greatly respected by his fellow citizens, and was elected Mayor in 1884. He was married in 1868 to Miss Mary G. Vanduzee, a highly cultured Christian lady, of Waupaca. She still survives him. He was a member of the G. A. R., and K. of P. He died December 1, 1900.


CAPTAIN DAVIS JEFFERSON RICH.


Captain Davis Jefferson Rich, of Company D, was born at Shore- ham, Vt., January 24, 1827, and died in Raleigh, N. C., February 16, 1869. As fully stated elsewhere, at the outbreak of the rebellion, he organized a company at Champlain, N. Y. He was never married. For particulars in regard to his career after leaving the army, we refer to the sketch of Colonel Laflin.


CAPTAIN WILLIAM H. WARFORD.


Captain William H. Warford, of Company A, after the return from tlie war, engaged in the transportation business ; and at the time of his death, which occurred in 1890, or 1892, he was running a line of boats between New York and Staten Island.

HISTORY OF THE THIRTY-FOURTH REGIMENT


CAPTAIN WILLIAM S. WALTON.


Captain Walton was a native of Ohio, and received his academical education at the venerable Fairfield Seminary, Herkimer County, N. Y. He had completed one year of his college course, at Hamilton College, N. Y., when the war broke out. He responded to the first call for volunteers, and enlisted in Company K, of the Thirty-fourth, April 18, 1861. He was made first sergeant of the company, and November 22, 1861, was commis- sioned second lieutenant ; on July 1, 1862, was commissioned first lieutenant; and on November CAPTAIN CHARLES RILEY-1861 II, 1862, was commissioned captain, and trans- ferred to Company H, vice S. P. Butler, resigned. He remained in the service until the term of en- listment had expired. He was wounded at Fair Oaks, and again at White Oak Swamp, or Glendale, as it is variously called. He fell into the hands of the rebels at this time, and was sent to Libby Prison Hospital, from which place he was exchanged. After his return from the army, he entered the Wesleyan University, at Middletown, Conn., and graduated with honor. He married Miss Anna Loyd, of Glovers- ville, N. Y., November 27, 1863. In September, 1872, he purchased the Wabasha Herald, Minn., which he conducted for seven years, and then sold. He then became engaged in the book business, traveling ex- tensively, until the time of his death, which occurred December 25, 1900, at Vienna, Ill., where he was temporarily stopping on business. He had a pleasant home at Wabasha, Minn., and was the owner of a fine collection of rare books and engravings.


CAPTAIN CHARLES RILEY.


Of Captain Riley, Company F, Colonel Suiter writes under date of January 24, 1902 : " Captain Riley learned the trade of printer ; gave up his trade, and was in the employ of the New York Central Railroad for many years. At the time of entering the army was passenger conductor. At the close of the rebellion he went on the railroad again, and was in the employ of the New York Central when he died, some fifteen or twenty years ago last September."


CAPTAIN THOMAS CORCORAN.


On the 17th of October, 1865, Captain Corcoran was married in Newport, Herkimer County, N. Y., and in 1869 removed to Chicago, Ill., where the Captain had a situation with the United States Express Co. He was with the Express Company for several years. After that he was employed by the state as grain inspector. This position he held for about fifteen years, and until his health became impaired, when he


109


SINCE THE WAR


was obliged to give it up. He first had rheumatism, which finally developed into paralysis. It is now (1902) nearly ten years since he has been able to do anything. At present he is in the National Home Hospital, Ward A, Milwaukee, Wis. He is in a wheel chair, cannot use his limbs, cannot talk or feed himself. He has the best of care, under the most favorable circumstances, better, probably, than it is usually possible to give to invalids at home. The Captain and his wife have had three sons, only two of whom are now living. The Captain's wife resides in Chicago, and kindly furnishes us with the above par- ticulars. The Captain and his wife will have the sympathy of his old comrades in his affliction.


Later .- Since the above was written, a note from Mrs. Corcoran announces the death of the Captain at the Soldiers' Home, Milwaukee, on the 21st of January, 1903.


DR. E. S. WALKER.


Dr. E. S. Walker was born May 18, 1824, at Root, Montgomery Co., N. Y. He was the son of a farmer, one of a family of six (of whom all were boys but one). Although reared on a farm, and sharing the hard work of the farm, he early evinced his ambition for an edu- cation, and professonal life. His first work was that of a teacher, in the school wherein he had formerly been a student, and he went from there to the study of medicine at Castleton, Vt. After completing his medical studies at the New York University, from which he was gradu- ated in 1850, he located at Brockett's Bridge, N. Y. At the breaking out of the war he volunteered his services, and was appointed assist- ant surgeon of the Thirty-fourth Regiment. In the following spring he was promoted to surgeon of the One hundred and twenty-first Regi- ment. The terrible Peninsular campaign cost him his health, and he received an honorable discharge. In 1864 he was appointed examining surgeon of the Board of Enrollment, with headquarters at Watertown, N. Y. At the close of the war, he located at Ilion, N. Y., and resumed the practice of his profession, which he continued with remarkable skill and success until his death, on July 13, 1876. He was married to Mary Grant in 1852. Three children survive, Mrs. S. G. Heacock, Miss Flora Walker, and Dr. D. E. Walker, all of Ilion, N. Y.


PRIVATE JAMES FAVILLE.


Very many of the old comrades will remember James Faville, of Company K. He was a somewhat singular man in many respects ; seemed to have a certain " clairvoyant " faculty for knowing what was going on among the enemy. He would sometimes disappear from the company for several days, nobody appearing to know where he was. It was generally taken for granted that he had been off into the enemy's country in search of information. He went over the river a great many times while we were encamped on the upper Potomac; and Major

HISTORY OF THE THIRTY-FOURTH REGIMENT


Sponable is responsible for some pretty good stories of adventure which befell him and Faville on nights when they were out together; for Sponable, in the days when he was captain, was a man who leaned heavily toward the south side of the river, and would much rather be over on the Virginia shore, scouting around, in danger of his life, than pursu- ing the monotonous round of camp duties. We have elsewhere had something to say about the captain's adventures. Lieutenant O. W. Beach, of Company B, adds this of one of the adventures in which Cap- tain Sponable and Faville took a hand :


"Previous to the ambushing (elsewhere described), the Captain, Sergeants Petrie and Shell, of Company B, and Private James Faville, of Company K, crossed the Potomac one night, nearly opposite Muddy Branch, and succeeded in capturing some Confederate artillery horses, that were stationed near Dranes- ville, Va. On their return, they lost their way, and were out nearly the whole night; they having struck the river nearly eight miles below the point where they desired to recross. Notwithstanding the difficulties they experienced, they succeeded in adding eight horses to the United States corral."


Faville was nearly always engaged in some such adventure as this. After the muster out, in '63, he returned to northern Herkimer County. and to the woods, which had been his home before the war. His cousin. Captain Frank Faville, of Company D, of the Ninety-seventh New York, which regiment was in large part a Herkimer County organiza- tion, and therefore regarded with a friendly eye by all of the Thirty- fourth boys who were from that county, writing from Dolgeville, for- merly Brockett's Bridge, which was the town in which Jim enlisted under Captain Beverly, gives us many interesting reminiscences of his visits to the old Thirty-fourth, at Alexandria, Falmouth, Antietam, and other places, and has this to say of the closing years of the life of this somewhat singular man, with mention of other familiar names :


"On looking around, and making inquiry, I cannot find a live member of the Thirty-fourth in this section, not one. But I recall the names, John Platt. Clinton Lamb, Alexander Comins, George Somers, Jim Faville, and his partner. McLaughlin, Adam Moyer, Major J. Beverly, and Dr. E. S. Walker, all dcad. I know there were others, but their names have gone from me. My cousin, after the war, for twenty-five years, followed the woods, as guide. About ten years ago, he went to Florida. and sickened, and died."


THE SURVIVORS


We fcel reasonably certain that the following Post Office addresses are cor- rect. We have had many other names first and last; but letters addressed to them have been returned, or we have heard that they were dead, or removed, and so they are omitted from the list. There surely are many more survivors than this list would indicate; and we trust that, as comrades examine this list, and call others to mind, they will immediately notify the Secretary, in order that the absent ones may also be notified of the publication of the History. We repeat the statement hitherto made. that each surviving comrade, or his widow, or one child of a deceased comrade, is entitled to a copy of the History, free of all charge, except that he will have to pay the expense of getting the book to him, which, by mail, is sixteen cents, which, of course, has to be paid in advance. If sent by express, the charge can be paid at the other end. The Sec- retary's permanent P. O. Address, from now on, will be the Hotel Margaret. Brooklyn, N. Y.
