was discharged for wounds here received. David Smith, Robert Whitehill, and William Young were captured. May 1, 1863, William R. Shippen was pro- moted to regimental quartermaster.
The Tenth reached Gettysburg at nine o'clock, July 2, 1863, having spent the winter and spring in and around Washington, and having been ordered to join the Fifth Corps in its northward march to assist in repelling the rebel inva- sion of Pennsylvania. In the afternoon of July 2 the regiment was engaged near Round Top and between that point and Little Round Top. It was also engaged on the 3d. The regiment lost two killed and four wounded. James G. Wyon, of Company E, was one of the wounded.
On account of ill health, Lieutenant-Colonel James B. Knox resigned No- vember 23, 1863, and Major Ayer took command. On the 27th of February, 1864, Major Ayer was commissioned lieutenant-colonel.
On the 6th of May, 1864, in the Wilderness, Jacob Raifsnider was killed, and Reynolds Bole wounded. On the 9th of May Reed M. Mills was wounded, and on the same day, at Laurel Hill, Silas Davis was mortally wounded. On the 6th, Colonel Ayer was severely wounded, and being borne from the field, Captain Phipps commanded the regiment. Raifsnider was the only one of the regiment killed. On the 30th of May, 1864, Corporal David Craig was wounded. Captain Phipps was breveted major on the field at the Wilderness. The com- pany was mustered out at Pittsburgh June 11, 1864. Of Company E, the fol- lowing are known to have died since the war: Colonel Knox, Tolbert Dale, John D. Lyon, Reed Mills, Clarence Wilson, Adam Rankin, William Vesey, John M. Laughlin, and Davis McBride. Of these Lyon, Mills, and McBride died violent deaths. Lyon was killed by a log rolling on him; Mills by a chain breaking and hitting him on the head, and McBride by a horse falling on him.
Colonel Knox was elected president-judge in 1881, for the Clarion-Jefferson district. He died at Brookville, where he had been holding court. Captain Phipps was once elected county commissioner for Clarion county.
Of this company, let it be observed, it numbered all told one hundred and sixteen men ; two of its members were promoted to field officers; one was breveted; three resigned ; ten were killed in battle ; thirty-eight were wounded : five died from wounds ; six died of disease ; four were discharged for wounds ; twenty-two were discharged for sickness and other causes; two were discharged by sentence of court martial ; two deserted ; eight were taken prisoners ; thirty were transferred ; and forty were mustered out with the regiment.
Bates says of the regiment: "The remnant of this brave and once strong body of men, which had fought in nearly every battle in which the Army of the Potomac had been engaged, and which was not excelled in valor by any other organization of the division, was mustered out of service at Pitts- burgh."

N obedience to the call of the president for fifty thousand Pennsylvania I
volunteers, Captain B. J. Reid recruited Company D at Clarion in the latter part of June, 1863, for the "emergency " service, to repel Lee's invasion of Pennsylvania. It numbered fifty-eight men. On the 7th of July it marched for Pittsburgh, officered as follows : captain, B. J. Reid ; first lieutenant, B. B. Dunkle ; second lieutenant, J. M. Alexander. At Pittsburgh Company D joined the Fifty-seventh Regiment of three months volunteers, commanded by Colonel J. R. Porter, of Indiana. Cyrus Butler, of Brookville, was lieutenant- colonel, and on the 8th of July Captain Reid was elected major, Lieutenant Dunkle became captain of the company, J. M. Alexander, first lieutenant, and Albert J. Goble second lieutenant. Meantime Lee had been defeated at Get- tysburg and had retreated into Virginia. The company was armed and drilled, but the only active service it performed was in assisting to head off and cap- ture the rebel General Morgan and his raiders, which was accomplished, after several days of watching and chasing near New Lisbon, O., Sunday, July 26, 1863. The company returned to camp at Pittsburgh and was mustered out on the 17th of August, 1863. The regiment was in the department of the Mo- nongahela, commanded by Major-General William T. H. Brooks, whose head- quarters were at Pittsburgh. The following company roster is copied from Bates.

Patrick is a leading attorney at the Clarion bar, and Frank Ross one of the most pop- ular physicians in Clarion county ; both reside in Clarion.

COMPANY I, FIFTY-SEVENTH REGIMENT.
In response to the call for troops to enter the service to repel the invasion of the Border States in 1863, Captain Wilbur Orr recruited a company early in July, 1863, principally from the southern and southeastern townships of Clarion county. The men assembled at Kittanning and'proceeded to Pittsburgh, where the company was designated Company I, and assigned to the Fifty-sev- enth Regiment. It took part in the campaign which resulted in the capture of Morgan, and was discharged August 17, 1863.
George W. Parker was promoted to hospital steward July 8. The com- pany numbered sixty-six men. Many of the readers of this note will recog- nize many familiar names on the roll of this company.
