Brigadier General, U. S. Army; born on the Catlin homestead near Owego, N. Y., July 8, 1835; educated in the common schools in the neighborhood, and at the Owego Academy; he early chose the legal profession and began its study in the office of Benjamin F. Tracy, and con- tinued it in N. Y. City, where he was ad- mitted to the Bar in 1857. When Gilbert C. Walker, afterward the Governor of Virginia, retired from the firm of Tracy, Warner & Walker, young Catlin was in- vited to take his place as junior part- ner of the firm, where he remained in active practice until he entered the Union Army in April, 1861. In the fall of 1860 he was elected to the position of mayor of Owego, being the youngest man up to that time who had held that office; upon the evening of the day in which President Lincoln issued his proclama- tion for 75,000 troops he raised a com- pany of volunteers, of which he was unanimously elected captain; it is


claimed that this was the first full com- pany of volunteers enrolled in the North, which has never been seriously disputed; Catlin sprang from fighting stock; his grandfather, Nathaniel Catlin, enlisted at New Haven in the early days of the Revolution and served faithfully until the cause was gained; his maternal great- grandfather, Garrett Brodhead, then of Stroudsburgh, Pa., served as an officer with Pennsylvania troops, and his great- uncle, General Daniel Brodhead, of Mil- ford, Pa., served with distinction di- rectly under Washington, who gave him command of the Department of the Dela- ware. Catlin's company joined the late General Frederick Townsend's Third Regiment of New York Volunteers; of his conduct in the battle of Big Bethel, General Townsend wrote, "There was no braver officer on that field than Cap- tain Catlin;" in July, 1862, he was ap- pointed lieutenant colonel 109th New


York Volunteers, and became its colonel in June, 1864, and commanded it in most of the battles from the Wilderness to Petersburg; he was then appointed president of a general court-martial in Washington, where he served until June, 1865, when he was mustered out with his regiment. General Catlin received three brevet commissions for bravery in the field, and afterwards a medal of honor for most distinguished gallantry in action; in 1865 he was elected dis-

the eastern district of New York; in 1877 he was elected district attorney for Kings County, N. Y., and re-elected in 1.80; in 1885 he was nominated for mayor of Brooklyn, and was defeated by a de- fection in his own party in favor of the Independent candidacy of General John B. Woodward. In 1893 he was nominated for Congress, but declined the nomination; in 1896 he was offered the nomination for lieutenant governor -on the Demo- cratic ticket; though General Catlin was prosecuting officer for ten years, he also defended many persons accused of crime, including those charged with murder in the first and second degrecs; he was nine years counsel for the sheriff of King's County; six times chosen grand marshal of the Grand Army of the Republic, and selected by the mayor and common council to command the Columbian pa- rade reviewed by President Cleveland. At the Centennial celebration on July 4, 1876, he was chosen by the mayor and common council to deliver the Centen- nial oration at Fort Greene, which was published by the city in pamphlet form; at the unveiling of the Soldiers' and Sailor's Monument in Owego, July 4, 1891, he delivered an address. Senator Thomas C. Platt presided at the meet- ing, and the then Secretary of the Navy, General Benjamin F. Tracy, delivered a great speech; General Catlin took prominent part in public affairs during the Spanish-American War, and during the guerilla warfare in the Philippines; he visited Cuba in the winter and spring of 1899, and took the trip to the Philip- pines in December, 1900, and remained till April, 1901. His observations of the situation in Cuba and the Philippines were published in various journals of the country; General Catlin's son, G. deG. Catlin, is a first lieutenant in the Second United States Infantry, and served gal- lantly in Cuba and the Philippines; Gen- fral Catlin has retired practically from business, and while his legal residence is in Brooklyn, he spends most of his time at the Catlin homestead, known as "Meadowfield." in Tioga County, N. Y., where he expects to make his permanent home in his advancing years. Address, 26 Court St., Brooklyn, N. Y.
