NOTE .- In the company there were 58 farmers, 34 miners, 8 laborers, 3 stonemasons, 2 blacksmiths, 2 tin smiths, 2 harnessmakers, 2 physicians, 2 lawyers, 1 shoemaker, 1 wagonmaker, 1 miller, 1 surveyor and engineer, 1 minister, 1 merchant, 1 currier, 1 butcher, 1 printer and 1 student.
Fifty-six were natives of the United States ; England, 24; Ireland, 22; Scotland, 2; Prussia, 2; Germany, 11 ; Austria, 1; New Brunswick, 1; Newfoundland, 1; Canada, 1; Norway, 2.
Company E, Forty-third Regiment, was recruited in the fall of 1864. The officers were : Captain, Isaac Stockwell ; First Lieutenant, Charles J. Wadsworth, succeeded by George W. Witter ; Second Lieutenant, Henry A. Beckwith, Vice George W. Witter promoted. This com- pany was raised and officered in the immediate vicinity of Darlington, whence they repaired to Camp Washburn, near Milwaukee, for field organization. October 9, 1864, was transferred to Nashville, Tenn., under Major General Sherman. They were assigned to Johnsonville, the ter- minus of the military railroad connecting with Nashville, and where important stores were located. From the 4th to the 6th of November, the place was menaced by Gen. Hooker's forces, who had planted a battery on the opposide side of the river. Subsequently, the regiment was employed at Decherd, Tenn., on provost and guard duty. In the beginning of June, they were moved to Nashville, where they were mustered out of the service on June 24, 1865.
Died of Disease : William Hugaboam, Elk River Bridge, Tenn .; Oli Emerson, Jefferson Bar- racks, Mo .; Henry J. Hearsley, Johnsonville, Tenn .; Samuel O'Ray, Johnsonville, Tenn .; Nel- son M. Tenney, Nashville, Tenn .; Richard White, Clarksville, Tenn.
Company C, Fiftieth Regiment, was recruited in the southern part of the county by Oscar M. Dering, at that time Provost Marshal. He was subsequently elected captain of the company, with Richard H. Williams as First Lieutenant, and Topping S. Winchell as Second Lieutenant. Organized, and was mustered into the Fiftieth Regiment under Col. John G. Clark, at Madison. They left Madison by companies in April, 1865, for St. Louis, Mo., where they were assigned to quarters in Benton Barracks. Company C, under command of Capt. O. M. Dering, reported at Arrow Rock, whence they were delegated to Fort Rice, in Dakota Territory, arriving there on October 10, 1865. Col. Clark assumed command of the post, and the Fiftieth remained as a permanent garrison until the expiration of their service. At the expiration of the term, the regiment was not relieved, owing to its isolated location ; hence, many cases of desertion were reported of men who had faithfully fulfilled their duties for the term of one year; but who were tempted, by the prospect of an indefinite sojourn, to take " French leave." On May 31, 1866, Company C set out for Madison, where they were discharged from the service on June 14, 1866. The official returns of this regiment are very incomplete, and furnish very sparse data from which to compile a history. Company C only sustained the loss of two members-William Bannister and Erwin W. Tinkham, both of whom succumbed to the ravages of disease at St. Louis, Mo.
At the conclusion of the war, the returning veterans were accorded a monster reception in Darlington. General rejoicing prevailed, and on arrival the war-worn soldiers were the sub- jects of much congratulation. They were treated to a banquet, at which the principal men of the county delivered speeches of a congratulatory turn. The wealthiest ladies presided, and catered to the wants of the men, who were on this occasion doubly feasted.

CITY OF DARLINGTON.
The first white man's residence within what are now the corporate limits of Darlington was a large log house belonging to Jamison Hamilton, the pioneer of this section, and the origi- nal owner of the surrounding land. It stood west of the Pecatonica, about where Mr. Van Oesdel's stone house now stands. This building was constructed in a very thorough and finished manner for a frontier dwelling, under the direction of B. Martin, the pioneer architect and mill- wright of the country, and stood for many years a monument to early days and early efforts. In early times, this cabin was the only point on the trail through this portion of the country where travelers could get accommodations for the night. For some time after Mr. H.'s arrival, there was no bridge on which to pass over the Pecatonica, and even in later days, after the people began to construct bridges and corduroy roads in different parts of the country, this stream was often minus the necessary appliance to a safe passage over, owing to the fact that the first spring freshets, unheeding the wants or "rights of man," generally swept the structure away in toto. At those times, when there was no bridge, and the stream so high that fording it was very dan- gerous, Mr. Hamilton would go to the rescue with his canoe, but woe to the man who could not sit steady while he was being paddled over, for, as all canoe-men can testify, the least unusual lurch was sure to upset the frail vessel and give its occupants a bath. The road here was such for years as the people chose to select, existing only in the form of a trail. When the county arrived at that estate where roads became fashionable and necessary, this section was not behind the rest of the county in laying out thoroughfares, and thus we find Darlington provided for in that respect before there was a town, or, indeed, any guarantee of one.
