THE ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTH REGIMENT


COMPANY E.


This Company was recruited at Germantown, Philadelphia, by Captain Francis H. Achuff, about August 15, 1861, and ren- dezvous at Camp Bull's Head, was mustered into the United States' Service August 28, 1861 and left Philadelphia with the Regiment, September 30, 1861.


The Company originally numbered three officers and eighty- one men; two joined in 1862, and one in 1864; making a total of eighty-seven officers and men. Of these one officer and five men were killed in action, and two officers and twenty-two men wound- ed, and nine men captured; of these one died in a Rebel prison and one as soon as he reached home, four died of disease, one of wounds, three at their request, were transferred to the cavalry ser- vice, two to Veteran Reserve Corps, five re-enlisted as veterans, sixteen discharged on account of disability, and seven on account of wounds, and fourteen deserted; of these Privates Andrew Conovan, Daniel Cowley, Lewis Heckroth, Charles Parmer, and George Thompson, were not satisfied with this company after be- ing sworn in, left and joined other Pennsylvania regiments, went into the field and did good service, although marked as deserters on the roll of this Company, never having left Philadelphia with the company, or been in camp with it. This left one officer and eighteen men that were mustered out with the Company Septem- ber 10, 1864.


[This roll corrected from original rolls in possession of Sergeant Rudolph A. W. Oestman, and is now believed to be correct in every par- ticular.]

COMPANY F.


This Company was recruited at Hughesville, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, by Captain Timothy Clarke and Lieutenants Farr and Bryan, and came to Philadelphia in August 1861, and was camped on the Wissahickon, at School Lane, (with a company from Williamsport, that afterwards became Company D, of this Regiment). While in camp they received about fifteen recruits from Millville, Columbia County. During a visit to the camp by General Baker and Colonel Morehead, the men by vote de- cided to join Colonel Morehead's Regiment, then known as the Fifth California Regiment, and were taken to the camp of the Regiment at Bull's Head, and mustered into the United States' Service August 14, 1861, and left Philadelphia with the Regiment September 30, 1861, for Washington, thence to Poolesville, Mary- land.


In March, 1864, in compliance with orders from the War De- partment, asking for re-enlistment of those in the field, nearly the entire company re-enlisted as veterans and were granted a fur- lough for thirty days, and left camp April 1, 1864.


This Company originally numbered three officers and eighty men, and received in 1862, one officer and two men, in 1864, thirteen men; making a total of four officers and ninety-five men; of these two officers and seven men were killed in action, one officer and twenty-four men wounded, and one officer and twenty-four men captured, of whom four died and one was killed while prisoner, eight died of disease, one drowned trying to escape from prison, thirteen discharged on account of wounds, one officer and twelve men for disability, six deserted, five promoted out of company and two officers and ten men discharged on the expira- tion of their term of service, five of them at the time the Regiment was mustered out ; leaving seventeen men to be mustered out with the company. Upon the expiration of the term of service of the Regiment, this Company was one of the companies retained to
