The first courthouse was built in 1814, on the corner of Second and Market streets, and was in use for forty-six years. In 1860, a new building was started, and the present courthouse was completed in 1862.
The academy was built on First street, near Cherry, and for many years was the only source of education (beyond the rude country schools) in the county. Many pupils came from miles around to receive their education here. The old building was torn down a few years ago to make room for the fine new High School building. The old academy was the last of the original public buildings to be de- stroyed, and the hundreds of men and women throughout the county who had, at some time

in their lives, been pupils there, marked with deep regret the passing of this last monument to the early days of the county seat.
In this chapter we have attempted to give a brief history of the historic site of the county
seat, from the beginning of its history to its incorporation as a borough in 1840. Its fur- ther history may be found under the title "Borough of Clearfield."

CHAPTER VII
MILITARY HISTORY AND THE COUNTY MILITIA-THE CIVIL WAR
Loyalty of Clearfield County's Sons-Military Organisations Before the War-Thirty-fourth Regiment, Fifth Reserves-Its General and Individual Record, Officers and Men-Forty- sccond Regiment, "Bucktails"-The Fifty-first Regiment-Fifty-ninth Regiment. Second Cavalry-Eighty-fourth Regiment.
In all the great army which struggled for the preservation of the Union during the stir- ring days of the Civil war, there were no braver men nor truer patriots than the sons of Clearfield county. By the deeds they did and the hardships they endured, they shared in making possible the glorious Union of today.
But these men were not alone in this loy- alty to their country, for when, thirty-three years later, the clouds of war again gathered on the horizon of our national life, the sons of those veterans who fought in that other war, also struggled to uphold the righteous principles of freedom which our nation had adopted. It is with pride that we record the names and deeds of Clearfield county's brave sons, and we trust that new loyalty and patri- otism may be inspired in the hearts of those who read the pages of this brief military his- tory.
about six companies of sixty men cach. Ma- jor Barrett was now made colonel, and E. W. Wise became major. The regiment annually attended the State encampment-journeys not easily accomplished in those days of no rail- roads, for it was often necessary to march forty or fifty miles to the camp. This organi- zation existed for about seven years.
A section of the State militia, of which Hon. William Bigler was colonel, was in ex- istence about the same time. It was here that Hon. John Patton received his title of "Gen- eral." Hon. William A. Wallace was cap- tain of another organization known as the "Guards." These three comprised the only military organizations existing in the county before the war days. Although of brief du- ration, these military companies helped to keep alive the spirit of patriotism in the hearts of the citizens, for nothing is more inspiring than the tramp of many feet, marching in uni- son : the sight of gay uniforms, and the sound of fife and drum.
Before the days of our Civil war, a volun- teer battalion was organized under the State law. This organization was made in 1840, with George R. Barrett in command. By So, although the militia of the early days of our county had no opportunity to engage 1841 the battalion had increased in numbers until it was possible to form a regiment of in actual warfare, who shall say how great

was its influence in arousing and strengthen- ing the loyalty and patriotism of the citizens of Clearfield county ?
THIRTY-FOURTH REGIMENT-FIFTH RESERVES
This regiment was organized at Camp Cur- tin June 20, 1861, and together with the "Bucktails" was sent to the relief of Colonel Lew Wallace, at Cumberland, Md. On July 13th they were stationed at Bridge 21, on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad which had been burned by the rebels. From that point they moved to New Creek. July 22d they were sent to Piedmont to protect the Unionists. After the battle of Bull Run July 21st, they were ordered to Washington and from there to Harrisburg. On August 8th they were or- dered back to Washington and went into camp at Tennallytown. On the 14th of Sep- tember they were reviewed by Governor Cur- tin, President Lincoln, General McClellan and others. On December 20th, the regiment was ordered to Dranesville and on the 9th of April. 1862, they occupied Manassas. On May 7th they arrived at Falmouth and on May 25th crossed the Rappahannock. June 9th they were ordered to Mechanicsville and composed part of the right wing of Mcclellan's army, five miles from Richmond, where they en- gaged in what is known as the "Seven Days' Battle," in which the Confederate forces were routed. They were then ordered to Acquia Creek and from there to Washington where they participated in the Second Battle of Bull Run. They also took part in the battles of Antietam and Fredericksburg. In February, 1863, they were again ordered to Washington and encamped at Miner's Hill. The regiment took part in the battle of Gettysburg; did guard duty along the Orange and Alexandria
railroad, and in February, 1864, had a battle with guerrillas near Brentzville, where Major Larimer was killed. May 4, 1864, under Grant, they crossed the Rapidan and engaged in the battle of the Wilderness. The regiment participated in the engagements which fol- lowed until May 31, 1864, when their term of service expired and they were mustered out at Harrisburg, Pa., on the 11th of June, 1864.
