COMPANY C.
A part of this Company recruited in Montour county, was a body of troops known as the First Battalion, organized for six month's service. It was Company D, of that organization, muster- ed in June 22, '63, mustered out January 9, '64, but was immedi- ately re-organized and became Company C, of the 187th Regi- ment. Company D had done guard and provost duty in the State, and this publication follows the fortunes of Company C, which was organized in March '64 at Camp Curtin. It reached the army in the field during the battle at Cold Harbor. In all the heavy fighting before Petersburg it had a full share, and was highly complimented. It had the head of the procession at President Lincoln's funeral obsequies, from Baltimore to Independence Hall. It was mustered out at Harrisburg August 2, '65. Joseph F. Ramsay, Lieutenant Colonel, discharged September 29, '64, the Company being in command of Captain Young. All the men not otherwise accounted for were mustered out with the Regiment.

SECOND ARTILLERY.
BATTERY F.
COLUMBIA AND MONTOUR. Rohrsburg, Pa., December 3rd, 1878. COL. JNO. G. FREEZE,
Dear Col: In complying with your request that I furnish a list of names of men in Battery F, 2d Pa. Art., from this county, I have endeavored to be as accurate as the dates in my possession would permit. I have included the names already published, in order to make the record more com- plete-have furnished a few names of parties who never returned to this county, and a few names of parties that entered from Montour county but upon their return located here, in this county.
As it may not be generally known why some officers were com- missioned and not mustered, I will state that it was the result of conflict of authority. In the Spring of 1864 our regiment had become very strong, numerically, numbering about 2500 men, its numbers rendering it unwieldy. Then it was proposed that a regiment be formed from the surplus men of the old to be known as the 189th regiment, P. V. Governor Curtin commissioned a full set of officers from the old organization, taking such as had been identified with its early history. To this arrangement Col. Gib- son, then commanding, objected, and having the ear of the War Secretary (they being West Pointers) the Governor's authority was set aside. The new regiment was sent to the front as a provisional affair-named 2nd Pa. Provis. Art., its organization being temporary and somewhat imperfect.
Respectfully Yours,
GEO. W. UTT.
