COMPANY "E." [ORIGINAL ].
The names of all members of the first Company E, not discharged previous to October 21, 1862, will be found under the heading of "Recruits" of the other companies. But in order to properly show the organization of the Company we here insert the names of the members, in the order in which they appear on the " Regimental Descriptive Book."'
The recruiting rendezvous of the Company was at Troy, Ohio. On the 16th of September, 1861, the Company went to Camp Chase, and the men enlisted were mustered into the United States service on the 18th. Contin- ued recruiting at this camp until November 29, then moved to Camp Dennison, where the organization was perfected on the 29th of December. Being assigned to the Eleventh Regiment the Company left Camp Dennison on the 21st of January, 1862, and arrived at Point Pleasant, where the Regiment then lay, on the 24th. As before stated, the Company became considerably reduced in numbers, and as the officers had all resigned, the men remaining were transferred to the other companies of the Regiment.
The following is the full list of members of the Company on record in the Regimental Books :
William L. Douglass, Captain. Appointed December 19, 1861. Resigned and relieved from duty September -, 1862. [We are quite sure Captain Douglass enlisted as a private, but have no official record of the fact].

COMPANY "K. "
-
This Company was organized in Cincinnati, O., by Philander P. Lane, who was chosen Captain; the "original" members dating from June 19, 1861. The members were about all mechanics-principally moulders and machinists-and enlisted for duty as "Sappers and Miners." From July, 1861, until the following October the men performed most efficiently the work for which they were detailed. General Cox's small army came to a dead halt at Pocotaligo, when first marching into Virginia, by reason of the bridge across the creek having been destroyed. Company K was detailed at Captain Lane's request, to construct a bridge, and commencing at nine o'clock in the morning the work was completed in seventeen hours. A raft of logs, the timbers from a deserted house and poles cut in the woods, were the materials used, and the only tools a few axes and augers. This Company did another good job in repairing the suspension bridge across Elk River, which had been destroyed by the retreating rebel army. In one night this company of volunteer "Topographical Engineers" did about as much work of the kind as usually required days to perform by the "regular", process adopted by army officers.
The bridge across Gauley River was also destroyed by the rebels, but a means of crossing was soon devised and executed by Company K. Flat- bottomed boats were constructed, a large rope was stretched across the river. and propelled by the strong arms of the men, the boats plied back and forth, admirably supplying the place of the bridge. An account of the expedition to Pack's Ferry, with incidents, will be found elsewhere.
The master-out roll shows the following record of the men :
Philander P. Lane, original Captain; chosen by the officers for the position and was promoted by the Governor of Ohio to Colonel, September 17, 1802. (See Field and Staff.)
George P. Darrow, original First Lieutenant ; served with the company until November 5, 1861, when, having resigned on account of physical dis- ability, he was relieved from duty.
