VENANGO COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA

Joseph Layton and William Russell served a "tour of duty" at Erie in the autumn of 1812.

The following volunteered on board Perry's fleet : Abraham Witherup, John Ramsey, Samuel Atkinson, Samuel Graham, Jacob Wise, John Stover, Thomas H. Prather, Eze- kiel Fleming.

That these men were led in their work by worthy officers is happily easily verified. Col. Samuel Dale has left a record as legislator, judge of the court of Common Pleas, and other offices in the gift of his fellow townsmen that proves their confidence in him. Major Fos- ter was an able man of affairs, and like a president and Secretary of State to-day an old- fashioned Presbyterian. Captain Witherup was a son of the first sheriff of Venango coun- ty. His company being unfortunate in its march toward what was expected to be the bat- tle front, he was stung by undeserved criti- cism and with his men made a most spectacu- lar and dashing attack, which attracted the at- tention of Commodore Perry; and as history tells, as if it were an unusual occurrence, he' was invited to dinner with that wholesome and hearty hero, who met the enemy and did not let them go. Like most of the leading men of that time he was a Democrat and it is said that he and his sons, numbering eight, voted as one man or as nine for James Buchanan.

Andrew Bowman, Elial Farr, Henry Neely, Andrew Porter, John Fetterman, Hugh Mc- Manigal, John Martin, Isaac Connely, have been commended by posterity. So also have those who served as privates in a small army that was great in patriotic ardor as it left the harvest for the field of honor.

EARLY MILITARY ORGANIZATIONS

It became evident to most men that some organization of military character was neces- sary to the peace of mind if not to the safety of the land. This new world was not to drift and become "to hastening ills a prey." Com- panies were formed and equipped. The differ- ent counties were organized under the aus- pices of the State and the respective officers received their commissions from the governor. They were drilled and were in a way the fore- runners of the present Reserve Militia. Peo- ple who have lived a good while can remember how in their childhood the General Training Day of their youth was a day of joy and of pride. The uniformed young men, stalwart and handsome, were the pets and easily pic- tured heroes of the towns so fortunate as to

entertain them at this general rally. The mil- itary spirit was felt to be gentle but powerful. Fed upon the best cookery of the time, these young men would have eaten hardtack without a murmur if necessary, and everybody felt a kindling emotion at the thought.

Venango county was proud of her militia. The earliest authentic record of the names has been found to be in the year 1823. It is sug- gestive to note that the same names are in evidence in many instances in the best life and work of the country.

Officers: Captain, John Lupher ; First Lieu- tenant, James Bennett; Second Lieutenant, John Ingram; Sergeants, Abram Clark, Aaron McKissick, George Dewoody, Nathaniel Cary; Corporals, John Ridgway, Solomon Martin, Hugh McClelland, John Hamilton; Drummer, Jacob Cline; Fifer, James Brown.

Among the volunteer companies at a later date were the Venango Troops, Franklin Guards, Sugar Creek Blues, Washington Guards, Scrubgrass Riflemen, Cooperstown Guards and Franklin Grays. Some idea of the personnel of the old militia nearly fifty years ago, and of the manner in which the com- manding officer communicated with the rank and file, may be gained from the following:

REGIMENTAL ORDERS

WILLIAM SHORTS, Colonel Commanding. April 27, 1843.

THE MEXICAN WAAR

The Mexican war naturally did not make a specially definite appeal to counties so far from the border. The Rio Grande was in fact far- ther away than the Marne or the Piave are to- day. Still, as it has come to be calmly asserted by Venango people, nothing important happens in the world at large without their representa- tion. So to Mexico went young Alexander Hays, son of Gen. Samuel Hays. He was born in Franklin, and after some preliminary work went to West Point. He was graduated in 1844. He had the happiness of being a student for some time with General Grant, and the further pleasure of going with the Army of Observation to Louisiana and from there over the border among the first. He saw active service at the battle of Palo Alto, and also at Reseca de la Palma. He was wounded in the latter engagement and was obliged to do duty in recruiting labors. Afterward he was ap- pointed assistant adjutant general to General Lane's command and contributed materially to the success of the campaign. At the close of the war he engaged in the iron business at Pittsburgh, and was subsequently occupied as civil engineer in various States. At the out- break of the Civil war he enlisted in a regiment formed at Pittsburgh, in which he was succes- sively captain and major. He then recruited the 63d Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, which was attached to Kearny's Corps and was

highly complimented by that general for gal- lant service at Fair Oaks and Charles City Cross Roads. Colonel Hays rendered valuable service at the second battle of Bull Run, and in recognition of his ability was promoted to brigadier general of volunteers. In 1863 he was transferred to Heintzelman's Corps, and placed in command of the 3d Brigade, Casey's Division, which sustained severe loss at the battle of Gettysburg, but came out of that en- gagement with a record of daring and success- ful execution rarely equaled. General Hays was killed at the battle of the Wilderness, May 5, 1864. He was buried at Pittsburgh with ceremonies appropriate to his rank as an offi- cer and character as a man.

Another .Venango county man who bril- liantly served his country and who rose to high rank was Jesse L. Reno. He was in the same class at West Point with Gens. George B. Mc- Clellan and Thomas J. ("Stonewall") Jack- son. He stood eighth in a class of fifty-nine, and served in the Mexican war from the siege of Vera Cruz until the triumphant entrance into Mexico. After the close of the war he was successively assistant professor of mathe- matics at West Point, secretary of the board for preparing a system of instruction for heavy artillery, and engaged in engineering work in various departments of the government serv- ice. At the breaking out of the Civil war he was in command of Mount Union Arsenal, Alabama. He was appointed brigadier gen- eral of volunteers Nov. 12, 1861, and com- manded a brigade of Burnside's Army in the expedition into North Carolina. He was pro- moted to the rank of major general of volun- teers July 18, 1862, and participated in the bat- tles that occurred during Pope's retreat to Washington in the following month. He com- manded the 9th Corps of the famed Army of the Potomac at the battle of South Mountain, and was killed in that engagement. A monu- ment has been erected to his memory, and it is visited by Pennsylvanians who are glad to honor his name and who never cease to feel that he gave his life in a cause whose might and right are equal, and whose success has been a force impossible to measure in the struggle for democracy in which the world is now engaged.

THE CIVIL WAR

To Venango county, pursuing its peaceful life, the rumors that came slowly at first, in 1860, of possible civil war, were received with incredulity, and with utter condemnation. As

events developed all felt that some expression must be given of the feeling of the community. A meeting was called at Franklin at which James P. Hoover, D. D. Goodwin, Levi Dodd and John McCrea were appointed presiding officers, with W. T. Neil and D. W. S. Cook as . secretaries. The meeting was one of the most serious deliberation. While all took part with more or less anxious hearts, they expressed the sentiment that the gathering was one for coun- sel. The addresses by John S. McCalmont, C. Heydrick and James K. Kerr were powerful arguments, calmly expressed, for the continu- ance of peace. Peace with honor was the de- mand. The resolutions passed gave evidence that western Pennsylvania desired to pay for no slaves and did not desire to divert her ener- gies toward caring for them if liberated. But the sacred rights of freedom for which this government was established "must not be yielded." The tone of the entire assemblage was that of those who could not believe that war was inevitable. Still the disquieting move- ments of the elements seeking different courses became stronger each day.

The beautiful park at Franklin has been the scene of many a gathering of men and women bent on mutual pleasure and profit, but the mass meeting held on Monday evening, April 22, 1861, surpasses all others in far-reaching significance. Here came men in greater num- ber than this county ever beheld together for one solemn purpose. To uphold the United States government, to restate their devotion to the principle that the majority must rule in a democracy, bound men together in the fervent fire of patriotism. They might differ widely as to methods, but one principle was unswerv- ingly held, that which has made America what it is to-day, the splendid acknowledgment by the individual of his obedience to the will of the majority. This has made our presidents safer in the unguarded White House than any king on his throne. This has given force to the arm of every man who strikes a blow for the right. Unspoken by the many, voiced by the few, it was this belief in the soul of each man who stood under the shade of the trees in the park at Franklin in those days long gone by. And it is the same at this moment, as any boy in khaki who sits on one of the benches under the same trees and recites to eager lis- teners the story of the boys of this century will vouch. The stream of patriotism has never ceased to flow in old Venango. The old blue coat of the veteran and the fresh khaki symbolize the same spirit.

Various recommendations were made. It

was at first thought necessary to form a home guard. The idea of having a distinctively Venango county regiment also found some ad- herents. But these were later believed im- practicable and were given up. People still living in this county remember how this meet- ing promoted unity of feeling and of purpose. It was seen to have been of avail when men began to enlist for the war after the day of madness and of gloom when Fort Sumter was fired upon and war, almost unbelieved in, was begun in earnest.

REGIMENTAL SKETCHES AND COMPANY ROSTERS 39TH 'REGIMENT-IOTH RESERVE

The 10th Regiment of the Pennsylvania Re- serve Corps was organized in the western part of the State. At Camp Wilkins, near Pitts- burgh, an organization was effected in June, 1861. by the election of John S. McCalmont, of Venango county, a West Point graduate and regular army officer, as colonel; James T. Kirk, lieutenant colonel, and Harrison Allen, major. The regiment was mustered into the United States service July 21, 1861, and for a brief period encamped near Washington, after which it was assigned to the 3d Brigade, at first commanded by Colonel McCalmont, but afterward by Gen. E. O. C. Ord. Its first ac- tual fighting was at the battle of Drainesville, in December, 1861. In June, 1862, it was trans- ferred to McClellan's Army, operating against Richmond, and participated at Mechanicsville, June 26th, Gaines' Mills on the 27th and 30th, capturing on the latter date sixty prisoners. The loss in the series of battles which com- menced at Mechanicsville was over two hun- dred. From the Peninsula the regiment passed to the army of General Pope, and participated at the second battle of Bull Run, at South Mountain and Antietam, and Fredericksburg. It shared in the memorable campaign that cul- minated at Gettysburg in July, 1863, and in the campaign against Richmond in 1864. On the IIth of June, 1864. 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 was engaged, was mustered out of service at Pittsburgh.

Company C has a unique history. It was recruited at Franklin. Nearly a thousand dol- lars were contributed for its equipment ; the uniforms were of local manufacture, made by the ladies of the town from cloth obtained at the Kennerdell mills in Clinton township. The company was known as the "Venango Grays." They left by keelboat for Pittsburgh June 6,

1861, arriving at Camp Wilkins Saturday, the 8th of that month. The following is a roster of the company :

Captains, C. Miller Over, Charles C. Coch- ran; First Lieutenants, Charles W. Mackey, William M. Patton; Sergeants, Samuel Mc- Kinzie, Jesse L. Pryor, Milton S. Singleton, John C.

57TH REGIMENT

This regiment was principally recruited in the counties of Mercer, Crawford and Venan- go. It was organized at Camp Curtin. Thomas S. Strohecker, who was promoted to a lieutenant colonelcy March 12, 1863, was the

only field officer from this county. The regi- ment was ordered into line with the Army of the Potomac in February, 1862, and assigned to Jameson's Brigade of Heintzelman's Divi- sion. At the operations against Yorktown it was engaged in the trenches under conditions exceedingly deleterious to health, and in conse- quence of this and subsequent exposure it be- came necessary to discharge quite a number of the men on account of sickness. It was en- gaged at Fair Oaks May 31, 1862, at Charles City Cross Roads on the 30th of June, at Malvern Hill on the Ist of July, at the sec- ond battle of Bull Run on the 29th and 30th of August, at Chantilly on the Ist of Septem- ber, and at Fredericksburg on the 13th of De- cember. The principal engagements in which it participated in the following year were Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, sustaining severe losses on both occasions. On the 4th of May it was engaged at close range with a detachment of the enemy near Chancellors- vilie, losing one hundred and forty-three men in killed, wounded, and missing. In January, 1865, the regiment was consolidated into a bat- talion of six companies, and later, by a union with the 84th, restored to its former strength. On the 25th of March it was engaged in the demonstrations about Fort Steadman which in- augurated the movement resulting in the cap- ture of Petersburg. It was mustered out of service in June at Alexandria.

Company I was recruited in Venango and Mercer counties. It was commanded as fol- lows.
