VENANGO COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA

the Rolls of Honor. The Home Service Sec- tion of the Red Cross in Franklin had com- piled a list of those who had volunteered or had been drafted from Franklin or from that part of the county called the Franklin District. The same is true of the Home Serv- ice Section of the Red Cross in Oil City. Hun- dreds of young men from this county were scattered over the oil fields of the South and West, from Texas to California, and in in- termediate States. A great number of these enlisted where they were working, still re- ferring back to their home towns, sending their allotments back, and were reported to the Home Service Section of the Red Cross and thus a record has been made, but whether it is complete or not can not now be determined.

112TH U. S. INFANTRY

Though Venango's citizens in this organi- zation were really only a small proportion of the total number who went into the service from here, probably not one quarter, the coun- ty was undoubtedly better represented among the forty-five hundred men who served in the 112th U. S. Infantry in the course of the war, especially in Companies D and F, than in any other regiment. Company D was recruited in Oil City principally-the city's old company. Company F in the same way from Franklin. There is an armory in Oil City and one in Franklin also. These two companies belonged to the National Guard and volunteered as units. But there are men from both cities be- longing to other companies, for example among the staff officers were Capt. James C. Shaw, Franklin, Regimental Adjutant; First Lieut. Charles R. Galbrath, Franklin, 1st Battalion Adjutant; First Lieut. Ralph D. McLouth, Oil City, afterward made captain, Supply Com- pany. A number of Oil City and Franklin men were also in the Headquarters and Sup- ply Companies of the 112th. First Lieut. Wil- liam R. Wadsworth, Jr., of Oil City, entered Company H, 112th Infantry (formerly of Company D).

A brief account of this "Our Own Regi- ment," the 112th, 28th Division, written in 1917, follows :

This regiment is a composite organization, made up largely out of two infantry units of the Pennsylvania National Guard, the 16th Pennsylvania Infantry, National Guard, and the 8th Pennsylvania National Guard.

By proclamation of the President, dated July 3, 1917, all the officers and men of the Penn-

sylvania National Guard were discharged from the Pennsylvania National Guard on Aug. 5, 1917, and thereafter have been a part of the United States Army entirely divorced and separated from State supervision and control.

At the time of its call to Federal service the Pennsylvania National Guard was organ- ized into a division known as the 7th. On be- ing released from State control the Pennsyl- vania National Guard became the 28th Divi- sion. The regiments of the division, on the date of the call, were organized on the basis of one hundred and fifty men per infantry company, with three regiments to a brigade and three infantry brigades to a division.

At varying dates in September, 1917, the division assembled in mobilization camp, "Camp Hancock," Augusta, Ga., the 16th Pennsylvania Infantry arriving Sept. 10, 1917, and the 8th Pennsylvania Infantry on Sept. 12, 1917.

In accordance with instructions from the Adjutant General of the Army, the 28th Divi- sion was reorganized by General Order No. 22, Headquarters 28th Division, dated Oct. 1I, 1917. Thereafter the old 16th Pennsylvania National Guard became known as the "112th Infantry," required to have two hundred and fifty men and six officers per company, and be- ing one of the two regiments composing the 56th Infantry Brigade. In compliance with this order, sufficient men were transferred from the 8th Infantry to complete the requi- site number called for in the new Table of Organization, which transfer was accom- plished under date of Oct. 17, 1917. At the same time all officers of the 8th Infantry were attached to the 112th Infantry, and such of them as were needed to fill the existing va- cancies were assigned to this regiment for duty. The plan followed in the transfer was to assign both officers and men from the 8th Pennsylvania Infantry to units in the 112th Infantry, corresponding with the one in which they served in the 8th Pennsylvania Infantry, so far as they were needed or available to bring those units to the numerical strength fixed by the new Table of Organization. The nucleus around which the new organization was built was the 16th Pennsylvania Infantry, National Guard, which bears an enviable rec- ord of valiant service to State and country. Organized in 1878, with Gen. John A. Wiley, a veteran of the Civil war, as its first colonel, it has had since its organization but three colonels : Gen. John A. Wiley, from Dec. 3, 1878, to Jan. 25, 1887; Gen. Willis J. Hulings,

from March 3, 1887, to Aug. 28, 1907, and its present commander, Col. George C. Rickards, from Sept. 9, 1907.

During the Spanish-American war this regiment saw service in Porto Rico and par- ticipated in several engagements, in which it bore its part well, as can be easily ascertained by reference to the War Department records. During the Porto Rican campaign Colonel Hulings was promoted to brigadier general and Colonel Rickards to colonel in command of the regiment. At the close of the war and muster out of Federal service, General Hul- ings and Colonel Rickards, respectively, re- sumed their rank as colonel and lieutenant colonel of the regiment.

At the close of the Spanish-American war the regiment was reorganized by bringing in five companies of the old 15th Pennsylvania Infantry, National Guard, which went out of existence at the end of that war. The old 16th is a country regiment, with companies scattered in the thriving oil and manufacturing towns and cities of western Pennsylvania. Oil City, the headquarters of the regiment, is the home station of three units, Headquarters, Supply and "D" Companies; Corry of "A" Company; Bradford of "C," Machine Gun Company and Sanitary Detachment; Kane of "E" Company; Franklin of "F" Company ; Erie of "G" Company ; Ridgway of "H" Com- pany; Warren of "I" Company; Kittanning of "K" Company; Butler of "L" Company, and Grove City of "M" Company.

Colonel Rickards, the commander of this regiment, is an officer of unusual ability and force, kindly in his treatment of officers and men, yet so firm and forceful in all his deal- ings with them that he easily has the very best of discipline among the troops of his com- mand.

Lieutenant Colonel Gamble served in the Spanish-American war as a captain in the 15th Pennsylvania U. S. Volunteers, and later came into the 16th Infantry, National Guard of Pennsylvania, at the end of that war. He is a physician and surgeon of large practice in private life, who has sacrificed all thought of monetary gains, coming from a large and lu- crative practice to give to his country the bene- fit of his service and experience in this hour of crisis.

Among the officers now serving with the Regiment are men of ability and prominence in their home localities, among whom may be mentioned Maj. Charles B. Smathers, an edu- cator of large experience in the service of the State of Pennsylvania, at the time of the call

on the State Board of Education. He, too, is a veteran of the Spanish-American war. The field and line officers of this regiment in- clude men of prominence in all walks of life in the communities from which they come, doctors, lawyers, educators, merchants, en- gineers, all giving up, willingly, their lucra- tive civil employments to enter the service of the country, at large financial loss to themselves and families.

The 16th Pennsylvania Infantry was mus- tered into United States service in the Span- ish-American war May 10, 1898, as the 16th Pennsylvania Volunteers. Again it saw Fed- eral service in 1916, when on June 24, 1916, it mobilized at Mt. Gretna, Pa., under the call of the president dated June 18, 1916, and was mustered into the Federal service for Mexican border duty on July 3, 1916, serving until muster out in January, 1917, when the several company units were mustered out of the Fed- eral service at their respective home stations at various dates in the month of ,January, 1917.

The 8th Infantry, Pennsylvania National Guard, from which the 112th drew largely in making up its strength to that required by the new Table of Organization, comes from the central part of Pennsylvania, at all points radiating from the State capitol at Harris- burg, having companies stationed as follows : Harrisburg, Companies "D" and "I," Supply Company, Headquarters Company and Ma- chine Gun Company; York, two companies ; Chambersburg, one company; Bedford, one company; Carlisle, one company; Hunting- don. one company ; Pottsville, one company ; Mahanoy City, one company; Tamaqua, one company. Thus the old 8th Pennsylvania In- fantry was typically representative of the ge- ographical central part of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and bears an enviable repu- tation historically, it having participated in the inaugural ceremonies at Washington, D. C., of nine presidents of the United States, from James A. Garfield to Woodrow Wilson, both inclusive. It participated also in a military ca- pacity at the inaugural ceremonies of ten gov- ernors of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, from Governor Hartranft, in 1876, to John K. Tener, in 1911, both inclusive. At the sev- enty-fifth anniversary of the battle of North Point and the bombardment of Fort McHenry at Baltimore, Md., the 8th Pennsylvania In- fantry was present, representing the Pennsyl- vania Division on that occasion. From its or- ganization in 1874 until it entered into the World war the 8th Pennsylvania Regiment has

taken part in a military way in many State and National ceremonies, including the Centennial parade in Philadelphia in 1876 and the Jubilee parade in Philadelphia at the close of the Span- ish-American war.

In all the mining and railroad strikes or dis- orders in Pennsylvania it was always depended upon for the preservation and maintenance of order. As such it was present at Pittsburgh, Pa., during the railroad riots in 1876; at Sham- okin, Pa., in 1875, during "Molly Maguire Riots"; at Mahanoy City miners' riots in 1876; Homestead, Pa., Carnegie steel strike in 1892; Hazleton anthracite coal strike in 1897; Shen- andoah, Pa., anthracite coal strike in 1900, and again at Shenandoah, Pa., in 1902.

The Regiment was organized in 1874 with the election of John P. S. Gobin, of Lebanon, Pa., as colonel, who later, during the Spanish- American war in 1898, was brigadier general, commanding the 8th Pennsylvania U. S. Vol- unteer Infantry (8th Pennsylvania National Guard), the 12th Pennsylvania U. S. Volunteer Infantry ( 12th Pennsylvania National Guard) and the 3d Virginia U. S. Volunteer Infantry at Camp Alger, Va., and later at Camp Meade near Middletown, Pa. At the termination of hostilities with Spain the 12th Pennsylvania U. S. Volunteer Infantry and the 3d Virginia U. S. Volunteer Infantry Regiments were mus- tered out of the United States service, but the 8th Pennsylvania Regiment was retained in the service, and during the winter of that year, 1898, it was sent to Augusta, Ga., and was camped on part of the ground of what is now ( 1918) known as Camp Hancock, Ga. It was mustered out of the Federal service in March, 1899, after a service of eleven months. With the other National Guard regiments the 8th Pennsylvania Infantry served on the Mexican border in 1916-1917 and was noted for its high degree of efficiency attained there.

The personnel of the officers of the old 8th Pennsylvania Infantry before its consolidation with the 16th Pennsylvania Infantry into the 112th U. S. Infantry was second to none. They were men of the highest standing, character and integrity, to whom personal sacrifice in the service of their country was an honor and a privilege. The colonels commanding the 8th Pennsylvania Regiment have in the past been representative citizens in the communities wherein they resided, always willingly serv- ing the State to the detriment of their private or business affairs, Col. John P. S. Gobin, afterward lieutenant governor of the Common- wealth of Pennsylvania, Col. Frank J. Magee, Col. Theodore F. Hoffman, Col. Joseph B.

Hutchinson, Col. Maurice E. Finney having in turn been the commanding officers of the regi- ment. They need no eulogy. The names of these men speak for themselves. The long list of lieutenant colonels of the regiment have been men of the same caliber, the last being Lieut. Col. Frank E. Ziegler, a lawyer of prominence from Harrisburg, Pa., who gave up his life upon the altar of his country when he died in its service in February, 1918, at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, as the result of an accident incurred in the performance of his duties.

Composed of two old Pennsylvania volunteer regiments, the 112th Infantry went into the conflict ready and willing to a man to support the flag and the government it represented with their life's blood if need be, on any battle- grounds of the world, so that liberalism, justice and freedom shall prevail throughout its realms.
