Public service, as well as class and prayer meetings were alter- nately held at private dwellings for a number of years, afterwards in the school-house that formerly stood on Church street, where also the first sabbath-school was organized in 1831. Public worship, on particular occasions, was also frequently held in the court-house. There Bishop Asbury preached on his visit to Danville, as did also the eccentric Lorenzo Dow. A brick church was erected in 1839 for the use of the Methodist congregation, after having liberally con- tributed to the building of other churches ; but in 1848 it was found to be insufficient to accommodate the membership, so they set about building the present church edifice, having sold the former house.
The present Methodist church building is on Mahoning street. The size is fifty by eighty feet and with its galleries will seat eight

War Record.
Neither Danville nor Montour county need blush to read its mili- tary record. For a score of years previous to the close of the last century the territory now included in Montour county, was on the border, and from necessity nearly all the citizens were required to bear arms in defense of their families and their homes. The peace with great Britain was no security against the stealthy and treacherous attacks of the savage foes of the whites. These border troubles kept alive the military spirit of the pioneers until the angry disputes with England about the impressment of our sailors brought us into conflict with that power a second time. Then followed the Black Hawk war, the Florida war, the Mexican war, and more recently the most deplorable of all, the civil war. In all these conflicts the people of Danville and of Montour county did not falter, they did their duty, they bore a fair and chivalrous part in them all. To de- velop the martial element and render it efficient, a number of mili- tary companies were organized at different periods.
THE DANVILLE MILITIA .- This is the first company of which we have any record, and what we have is unsatisfactory. We only know that at the close of the last war with England, it was flourish- ing and well organized. It then had on its roul one hundred mem- bers, rank and file ; and was commanded by Captain Samuel Yorks, who had seen active service as lieutenant in the " Danville Blues." Captain Yorks was the beau ideal of a military officer, tall, sym- metrical and with a commanding presence. Thomas W. Bell was one of the subordinate officers of the company. Others are for- gotten, two thirds of a century having almost obliterated the recol- lection of those early citizen-soldiers.
THE DANVILLE BLUES .- This was a rifle company commanded by Captain Isaac Blue. The names of its members can only be recalled in part. The imperfection of the roll is a source of regret, as it would be a great satisfaction to all, and especially to their descend- ants, to know the names of those who so freely responded to the
84
HISTORY OF DANVILLE.
call of their country. The reader will find some matters of interest in relation to this company under the title of "Going to Black Rock." The following is a portion of the roll that can be recalled :
Isaac Blue, captain,
Asa Moore,
Isaiah Blue,
Abner Moore,
Herbert W. Best,
John Mills,
Daniel Cameron,
John McCoy,
Colin Cameron,
David Petrikin, surgeon,
Alexander Campbell,
Sanders,
John Dugan, Edward Morison,
Samuel Yorks, lieutenant,
Jacob Sechler.
This company was in active service on the frontier in 1813, and was stationed at Black Rock, where it suffered severely from the malignant fever, then known as the Black Rock fever. Some of the members died of the fever notwithstanding the skillful efforts of Doctor Petrikin in their behalf. One of the victims of the epidemic was Alexander Campbell.
THE DANVILLE LIGHT HORSE-A company of Light Dragoons commanded by Captain Clarke of Derry. This company of cavalry was a great favorite of the people in its palmy days, especially was it in high favor with the juveniles. Many of the most enterprising young men of Danville, who were the cavaliers of that day, were members of the "Light Horse." Well armed and equipped, their spirited and showy horses, their fine military dress and thorough drill, led by their gallant captain, with Trumpeter Sanders in his gay, scarlet uniform in the van, sounding his clarion notes to the great delight of juvenility, they made the day of parade one of the great gala days, ranking with Christmas and the Fourth of July. And right fortunate were the boys who were permitted to go to Wash- ingtonville to witness the regimental parades in that ancient village.
The organization of the " Light Horse " dated back to 1810, and although not mustered into service during the war that followed, they had promptly volunteered, and were highly indignant when the government refused to accept their services. The denunciations they heaped upon Simon the Tanner for this refusal were neither few nor far between. They deemed him ignorant of his military duties, be- cause he failed to appreciate such a valiant company.
A sham battle was fought about this time, perhaps in lieu of the
85
WAR RECORD.
reality. During this contest the captain came off hors de combat, being seriously injured by the fall of his charger. No official report of the battle was ever made. But the members of this brilliant cavalry company have all passed away. Many of them attained a great age. The last survivor of the gallant chivalry who so gloriously rode their war horses through the streets of Danville has long since departed. He was almost ninety years of age, when he gave to Mr. J. F. the particulars I have noted of the Light Horse company of Danville. The following are all that can be gathered of their mus- ter roll :
Charles Clark, captain, Kipp,
John Blue,
King,
Elisha Barton,
William Kitchen,
James Boyd,
Daniel Montgomery,
Lucas Brass,
Lewis Maus,
Isaac Bear,
Joseph Maus,
James Donaldson,

COLUMBIA GUARDS .- This company was organized in 1817, and was long the pride of the village. This company was originally and all through the long half century of its existence, composed of the very best soldier material of Danville and vicinity. It embraced many of the enterprising and patriotic young men of the community. The muster roll at the organization of the company or very soon thereafter, has been preserved, and is as follows :

The Columbia Guards, together with the Northumberland Artil- lerists, Capt. Priestly, the Warrior Run Infantry and others, consti- tuted the Northumberland and Columbia battalion of volunteers, com- manded by Major R. Coleman Hall. In the summer of 1823 there was a battalion parade in Danville, on the then open ground be- tween Bloom and Center streets. Dr. W. H. Magill, then a young man was surgeon of the battalion. The parade is said to have been the grandest military display ever witnessed in Danville.
The Columbia Guards were first commanded by Capt. Potter, and subsequently by Capts. Carson, Colt, Best, Wilson and Frick, until 1846, stretching over a period of about thirty years. In that year the first call was made upon the citizen-soldiery since the organization of the company. Prompted by a patriotic desire to serve their
87
WAR RECORD.
country in the Mexican war, their services were offered and accepted, and the Columbia Guards, under the command of Capt. Wilson, numbering ninety-four, rank and file, were mustered into the ser- vice of the United States on the 28th day of December, 1846. We pause not now to recall the mingled emotions of patriotism and personal affection, of hope and fear, of joy and sorrow, that per- vaded this community when this gallant company took up its line of march from the peaceful parade to the stern duties of camp ; from the calm sunshine of home to the battle and the storm. But they lingered not, for the flag of their country was unfurled, their brethren were engaged in actual combat. Brown had fallen at Matamoras, like a hero in battle, and the banks of the Rio Grande had drank the blood of a Ringgold, and they hastened to the de- fense of the " starry banner," many, alas ! to return no more.
The first engagement of the Guards was at the storming of Vera Cruz, and there, at the opening of their brilliant campaign, the lamented Capt. Wilson died on the 10th of April, 1847. Capt. Wilson was a model officer. Though naturally kind, yet austere and punctilious on parade, and under his charge the Guards be- came thoroughly versed in military tactics, and perhaps the best disciplined company in the regiment to which they were attached. His remains were brought home and buried with due honors among his family and kindred. From Very Cruz, the company, under the command of Dr. C. H. Frick, proceeded in the victorious march of Gen. Scott towards the city of Mexico. In the battle of Cerro Gordo they took a prominent part, and lost one of their number, John Smith, who was killed by a musket ball in storming the heights. At the bloody battle of Chepultepec they lost two more of their comrades. William Dietrich and John Snyder fell on that memorable day, when
" A thousand glorious actions that might claim Triumphant laurels and immortal fame,
Confused in glorious actions lie, And troops of heroes undistinguished die."
On approaching the capital of the enemy, the defense of San Angelos, with all the military stores-a post of distinguishing honor and vast responsibility, and of peculiar danger-was com- mitted to the Columbia Guards, and on the 13th day of September,

1847, they were among the first in Gen. Scott's triumphant march into the city of the Aztecs and the halls of the Montezumas.
After an absence of nearly two years, when Mexico was con- quered,
"When wild war's deadly blast was blown, And gentle peace returning,"
they returned to Danville on the 28th day of July, 1849. And is there one
" Whose heart has ne'er within him burned, As home his footsteps he has turned From wandering on a foreign strand ?"

It is utterly impossible to describe the mingled emotions of joy and sadness awakened by the solemn march of the Guards into Danville. That day will never be forgotten, for the record is stamped in the hues of living reality. The whole community joined to welcome and honor the arrival of the Guards. But, alas ! their ranks were thinned ; over half their number answered to the "roll call " no more, and there were tears of thanksgiving and shouts of joy for those who came, and there were burning tears and silent anguish, the saddest syllables of nature's woe, for those who came not-for the husband and father whose place was vacant in the ranks. To the widow and the orphan all the "pomp and circum- stances of glorious war," the waving banners, the nodding plumes and the martial music inspired no joyful emotion. To them it was but the echo of sorrow and the deep notes of a funeral march.
A little time developed the fact that most of those who returned had contracted the diseases of an uncongenial climate, and one by one they have passed away. Jesse G. Clarke, Ad. Ray and their lamented commander, the noble-hearted Dr. Clarence H. Frick, fol- lowed on that returnless march, to the music of the tolling bells, beyond the reach of war's alarms.
". An army now might thunder past, And they heed not its roar."
A little remnant still survives, but they, too, are treading the down- hill of life, and they too, ere long will rally to the last " reveille," and form into line with the platoon already advanced beyond the river of death-but their names and their gallant deeds in the ser- vice of their country will be cherished while patriotism or gratitude

continue to animate and ennoble the human heart. Honored by the especial confidence of their commander-in-chief, himself the greatest captain of the age, and complimented by Governor Geary, the hero of two wars, Danville may feel an honest pride in her pa- triotic company, the Columbia Guards.
New members soon took the place of those who went to Mexico to find a lonely grave beneath its chaparal, and the company again assumed its old-time gaiety, under the command of Captain George W. Forrest.
After Captain Forrest removed to Lewisburg, Oscar Ephlin was chosen captain. Under his command they entered the Union army, where the brave recruits who filled the places of the veterans, had a taste of actual service. After serving their time they were honora- bly discharged and disbanded as a company. The elder members in Mexico, and the younger in the war for the Union, have made for themselves a record that is alike honorable to themselves and to the borough of Danville.
The flag of the old Guards, riddled and torn in the Mexican campaign, is still displayed on public occasions, and always calls forth the warmest feelings of patriotism and local pride, as its tat- tered fragments proclaim the heroism of the brave men who followed its beacon light through the battle and the storm. On one occasion it caught the eye and was instantly recognized by Governor Geary, while addressing a mass meeting ; and none will ever forget his glowing tribute to the " old Guards," which the sight of their well- known flag inspired.
The following is the roll as mustered into the United States ser- vice, for the Mexican war :

The Columbia Guards, as an organization, are no more. But the history of their deeds will remain and will long be gratefully cherished by their fellow-citizens. Their names are recorded in the history of their country, and their fame is our own.
In the war with Mexico, the Guards were company C, in the Second regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, commanded by Colonel, afterwards Governor John W. Geary.
MONTOUR RIFLES .- This company was organized in Danville, on the 13th of July, 1855, under the command of Capt. J. J. Zuber. August Fogel was first lieutenant and M. Rosenstein was second lieutenant. In 1859 Capt. Zuber was promoted to a majorship and some adverse influences caused the dissolution of the company. Most of its members entered the United States service ; the greater portion enlisted in company E, Sixth regiment Reserves. The com- pany was commanded by M. K. Manly. John Horn was one of the lieutenants of company E.
THE FIRST IN WAR .- The first military company that left Dan- ville for the war, was recruited and commanded by Capt. William M. McClure. This company included one hundred of our boldest and bravest young men. I only regret that I can find no muster- roll of this gallant company. They enlisted for three months and honorably served their time. They were in the battle of Falling

Watersand had one member killed, whose name was Amos Zuppinger, the first soldier killed in battle ; his was the first blood shed for the Union in the civil war. Capt. McClure afterwards commanded company F, in the One Hundred and Twelfth artillery, and for brave conduct was subsequently promoted to the position of colonel of the regiment.
THE BALDY GUARDS .- This company was organized in Danville and mustered into the service of the United States on the 25th of September, 1861, under the command of Capt. Joseph F. Ram- sey. The best elements of young and vigorous manhood in Dan- ville were embodied in this company, nor did it disappoint the ardent hopes of the friends it left behind. The company was named for P. Baldy, Sr., a millionaire and an old citizen of Danville. He recognized the honor by giving two dollars to each member on the eve of their departure. They were attached to the Ninety-third regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, and were designated as com- pany H of that regiment. Their first battle was on the Peninsula, at Williamsburg, and they subsequently were in all the sieges and battles of the army of the Potomac, until the closing scene at Ap- pomatox. On the resignation of Capt. Ramsey in 1862, Charles W. Eckman became captain of the Baldy Guards, on the 21st of October in that year. The company, in passing through the ordeal of the war lost many of its members and when the work was done the remnant of the gallant company was honorably discharged and returned to the peaceful duties of private citizenship. The follow- ing is the roll of the Baldy Guards as the company was mustered into the service on the 25th of September, 1861 :
