In early days battalion "trainings" were usually held at Knoxville, or Willards- burg, now known as the borough of Tioga. As late as 1830 Inspector Horton, of Bradford county, was a reviewing officer. In the days of Colonel Taylor, Hiram Freeborn was lieutenant colonel, and Marinus W. Stull major. George T. Frazer

was captain of the Deerfield company, Israel P. Kinney of the Middlebury company, and Timothy S. Coats of the Elkland company. On the breaking out of the War of the Rebellion, Robert C. Cox, of Liberty, was brigade inspector under the old militia laws.
THE MEXICAN WAR.
Pennsylvania furnished but two regiments to the army that invaded Mexico in 1846-47 and wrested from her all that portion of her territory lying north of the Rio Grande. As these regiments were enlisted in the larger cities and near the lines of railroad and the sea coast, Tioga county was not formally called upon to help fill their ranks.
George Henry Gee, who was living at the time of the breaking out of the war within the present limits of Osceola borough, accompanied the army of General Taylor in his campaign in Mexico, but not in the capacity of a soldier.
George Hebe was born in Wurtemburg, Germany, in 1809. In 1819 he came to America with his step-father, who settled in Liberty township. In 1833 he mar- ried Elizabeth Myrtle, of Schuylkill county, where he appears to have resided for a number of years afterward. In 1842-44 he was colonel of the Schuylkill County Volunteers. Upon the breaking out of the Mexican War he enlisted as a private in the First Pennsylvania regiment, under Colonel Wynkoop. He served during the war and was promoted to a staff office. He died a few years ago in Liberty township, at an advanced age.

T HE moment the startling report of the firing on Fort Sumter reached Tioga county, the patriotism of the people was aroused, and in a few days it was at fever heat. Such a traitorous act served to quickly tear away the cobwebs of sophistry which had obscured the judgment of men, and united them in defense of the flag. The news of the assault reached Washington April 13, 1861, and on the morning of the 15th President Lincoln issued his call for 75,000 volunteers to put down the

insurrection. There was a quick and noble response on the part of the people. On April 20 the council of Wellsboro met and passed the following:
Whereas, The general government having called upon the states for troops to sus- tain its authority, and the people of this village having manifested a praiseworthy alacrity and zeal in responding to the call, now therefore we, the burgess and council of Wellsboro, acting officially do hereby
Resolve, That we will pledge the faith of this borough to provide for the families of such of our citizens, during such service, as may enlist and serve in the army of our government and our country.
SAMUEL R. SMITH,
Clerk pro tem.
H. SHERWOOD, Burgess.
Robert C. Simpson, Esq., on behalf of Mrs. William B. Clymer, then a resident of the village, presented to the people of Wellsboro, through the burgess and council, a United States flag, which was accepted by resolution as follows:
Resolved, That this board accept the beautiful flag presented by Mrs. William B. Clymer, and have a lively sense of gratitude for this token of her friendship towards the people of Wellsboro, and her patriotism in the hour of our country's trial.
Resolved that the burgess transmit to Mrs. Clymer a copy of this resolution.
On receipt of the foregoing resolution of thanks Mirs. C'lymer replied in the fol- lowing patriotic letter:
WELLSBORO, May 9, 1861.
HENRY SHERWOOD, Esq.
Dear Sir :- I have the pleasure to acknowledge the receipt this afternoon of your polite note of the 4th instant, with a copy of the resolutions passed the same day by the burgess and council of Wellsboro.
I am gratified to learn that the flag which I had the pleasure of presenting to the .people of Wellsboro hus been accepted by them in the spirit in which it was presented. I trust that rebellion will be crushed in the land-the cause of law and order be upheld, and that the same emblem of liberty which floats over "The (ireen," and from the house- tops of our beautiful village, will spread its ample folds to the end of time, with no star erased, no stripe polluted, over every sea and over the entire length and breadth of the American Union.
With sentiments of respect for the burgess and council of Wellsboro, I am, very truly MARY H. CLYMER *. yours.
No county in the Commonwealth evinced a higher degree of patriotism, or was more prompt in furnishing volunteers to aid in suppressing the Rebellion, than Tioga. Gen. Robert C. Cox, in his pamphlet entitled "Memories of the War," thus tells how quickly they aeted on the receipt of the startling news that Fort Sumter had been taken and that our troops had been fired upon in Baltimore:
On a beautiful Sunday morning, April 21, 1861, while eating breakfast, I heard a rap at the door. I Immediately opened it and found standing there Julius Sherwood, of Wellaboro, and Capt. Nelson Whitney, of Charleston. They said: "We have come here to get you to go with ust to Wellsboro." I asked : " For what purpose?" They replied : "Ilave you not heard the news that Fort Sumter has been fired upon and Major Anderson compelled to surrender, and that only day before yesterday our troops were fired upon while passing through Baltimore en route to protect and save the Nation's capital?" I said I had heard the news from Sumter, but knew nothing about the firing on our troops.
"Mra Clymer, the writer of this patriotic letter, was lost, together with her son and danghier, by the sink- ing of the Pomerania, November 23, 1874

HISTORY OF TIOGA COUNTY.
They said : "You are the brigade inspector of this county and we want you to or- ganize two companies at Wellsboro of 100 men each, and to go with us to-day, for the men will be there so that it can be done to-morrow." They then left me and went to the hotel.
After breakfast I called at the hotel, and in a short time the Liberty drum corps was on hand, and in less than one hour there was a large gathering of people in and about the hotel and on the street. Service was to be held in the Methodist and Evangelical churches at 10.30 A. M .; but the result was that no service was held in either church, for the people were all engaged in another matter.
About 3 o'clock the same day Gen. Josiah Harding, Col. Levi Landon, Maj. J. G. Albeck, J. H. Levegood and I myself started for Wellsboro, reaching there about 2 o'clock Monday morning. We found the town illuminated from one end to the other. Men were standing in groups on almost every corner discussing the question of enlisting for the war; there was no chance for any one to sleep. About 2 o'clock P. M., we organized a company of 100 men, who elected Julius Sherwood their captain. Immediately we organ- ized another company of 100 men, who elected Alanson E. Niles their captain.
On the following day, Tuesday, we went to Tioga borough. I organized a company of 100 men, who elected Hugh McDonald their captain. The same evening I went to Lawrenceville and after dusk we met in a large hall and organized a company of 100 men, who elected Phil. Holland their captain. The next day, Wednesday, I went to Covington and there organized a company of 100 men, who elected A. L. Johnson their captain. The same afternoon we went to Mainesburg and there organized a company of 100 men, who elected Henry B. Card their captain-making six companies in all.
On Monday morning the two Wellsboro companies started for Troy, Bradford county, and on reaching Covington we were joined by Captains Holland's, McDonald's and Johnson's companies. In this way we formed a line of march and reaching the forks of the road leading from Mainesburg to Troy, were joined by Captain Card and his com- pany, forming a line of at least half a mile in length while we were on the march about five miles from Troy.
All of a sudden the column halted, and I never knew who gave the order. The center. of the column, where our flag was being carried, was in front of a farm house, whose occupant, as I soon learned, was known to some of the boys to be a sympathizer with rebels. I saw some of the men go to the house and the old farmer came out, while others took the flag and placed it in the farmer's door yard, when he was ordered to get down on his knees under the flag and ask God to forgive him, or his house would come down. He did it, apparently with a hearty good will. We then proceeded on our journey, reaching Troy about 8 o'clock P. M., where we met with a most cordial and welcome reception. The people opened their halls, churches and private houses to make room for us and afford us accommodations.
We were compelled to remain there about eight days for the want of transportation. After the expiration of five or six days our men became quite dissatisfied with their sit- uation, declaring that they had left their homes to go to the front and fight rebels, and that they wanted to go on or return home. There was a meeting of the officers called, and at that meeting it was decided that General Harding should go immediately to Har- risburg and state our condition to Governor Curtin and ask that transportation be fur- nished at the earliest possible moment. The General left Troy the same day. The next day, on his return from Harrisburg, and on reaching Northumberland, where the train stopped for a short time, the General had occasion to step from the car a moment, and when about to step on the porch of a hotel he was seized by three men and pushed through the crowd into a room and the door locked. He wore a full regulation uniform, as required under the old militia law, consisting of a pair of large gilt epaulets and chapeau cap, which attracted attention. They took him to be a rebel spy! * * * They kept the General until they received a dispatch from Troy that he was all right, when they released him. The General made this statement to me the next morning.
We occupied the time as well as we could while there, drilling or learning the first school of a soldier without arms. Finally transportation was furnished and we were
219

all taken to Harrisburg, where we reported to Col. Edward Bruce, the commanding officer of Camp Curtin. Here we remained about two weeks, during which time our men suffered very much; for three days it rained almost continuously, mixed with snow. More than one-half of our men were without blankets and some without tents; many were thinly dressed, expecting to be clad with the national blue as soon as we reached Harrisburg. We made frequent calls on Governor Curtin, who finally told us that the quota that the State of Pennsylvania was to furnish was more than full, and that they did not have clothing and equipments for more than one-half of our men. Consequently Captain McDonald with part of his company, Captain Holland with part of his company, Captain Sherwood with part of his company, and Captain Niles with part of his com- pany, were mustered into the service. The remainder, about 300 men, were sent home.
THIRTY-FIFTH REGIMENT-SIXTH RESERVE.
This regiment was composed of men who had responded to the call of President Lincoln issued immediately after the fall of Fort Sumter. Upon their arrival at Camp Curtin, Harrisburg, finding it impossible to be accepted for the three months' service, the quota being already full, they re-enlisted for a term of three years, the "Tioga Invincibles," commanded by Capt. Julius Sherwood, becoming Company H, of this regiment, the organization of which was completed June 22, 1861. It continued in the service until June 11, 1864, when it was mustered out at Harrisburg.
The following were the field officers selected at the time the regiment was or- ganized: W. Wallace Ricketts, of Columbia county, colonel; William Penrose, lieu- tenant-colonel; Henry J. Madill, of Bradford county, major; Henry B. M'Kean, Bradford county, adjutant. The regiment was assigned to the Third Brigade of General M'Call's Division. Its initial engagement was fought at Drainsville, De- cember 20, 1861, and resulted in a Union victory. The principal engagements in which it afterwards participated were Malvern Hill, Gaines Mills, Second Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Wilderness, Spottsylvania and Bethesda Church. In the last engagement, though the regiment was but 150 strong, it cap- tured 102 and buried seventy-two dead rebels in its immediate front.
After three years' service in the camp and on the mareh, in which it shared the privations and hardships, as well as the glory, of the Army of the Potomac, the regi- ment, on June 1, 1864, started for Harrisburg, where it was mustered out of service on the 14th of the same month.
Company H of this regimnent was recruited at Wellsboro, the date of its organi- zation being June 22, 1861. It was known as the "Tioga Invincibles." The follow- ing is a list of its commissioned, non-commissioned officers and privates:
Captaina: Julius Sherwood and James Carle. Captain Carle subsequently served as colonel of the One Hundred and Ninety-first Pennsylvania Volunteers from June 6, 186.4.
First Lieutenants: Marinus N. Allen, James Carle, John W. Rose, Silas S. Rockwellt and James B. Goodman.
Second Lieutenants: John W. Rose, John Hinman, Reuben M. Pratt*, Silas Rockwellt and James B. Goodman. Frank A. Foster was commissioned second lieutenant September 17, 1863, but was not mustered, having died May 10, 1863, of wounds received in action. It was a post-mortem recognition of meritorious service.

FORTY-SECOND REGIMENT-BUCKTAILS.
This famous regiment was at first commanded by Col. Thomas L. Kane, and was organized June 12, 1861. As its history is well known it need not be repeated here. Each man wore a bucktail in his cap, which became the emblem of the regi- ment. After seeing much hard service the regiment was mustered out June 11, 1864, having served three years.
"The old bunting," says Bates, "which had floated over the rafts on which the original Bucktails were borne down the Susquehanna in April, 1861, and which had been carried by them in all their campaigns, was borne in procession in Philadelphia, on the 4th of July, 1866, by the scarred veterans who survived, and delivered up to the governor, amid the loud acclamations of the multitudes, as they recognized the familiar emblem that surmounted its staff."
Alanson E. Niles, who entered the service as captain of Company E, which was recruited at Wellsboro, was promoted to major March 1, 1863, and to lieutenant- colonel, May 15, 1863. William T. Humphrey, of Osceola, who went out as assistant surgeon of the regiment, was promoted to surgeon of the One Hundred and Forty- ninth Pennsylvania Volunteers, November 1, 1862. Lucius Truman, who went out as first lieutenant of Company E, was promoted to quartermaster March 1, 1863.
