hours later, when mistrusting all was not right, and finding the main army had left the position a few hours previously taken up, it was decided at once to make desperate efforts to extricate the Regiment, which was found to be surrounded on three sides, and the fourth fast closing in, which was accomplished with but slight loss. This was a prominent trait in General Glenny's character, to always hazard life rather than be a prisoner in the hands of traitors, whom he looked upon with contempt and scorn.

In the last charge made by the Regiment, or any of the army, at Farmville, April 7th, 1865, General Glenny lost fourteen men, and one officer of the rank of Captain. The latter finding himself mortally wounded, and having been rather a reckless young man, at once became alarmed with reference to his future state. While lying on the field, he called General Glenny, (then Colonel,) took him by the hand, and as soon as he could gather sufficient strength to speak, says, "Colonel, can you pray?" When answered in the affirmative he said, "I have got to die and am unprepared." In compliance with his request, General Glenny knelt by his side in prayer; but as missiles of death were flying on every hand, and the enemy opening an increasing fire, which required him to watch as well as pray, and to attend to the living as well as the dying, he at once ordered the Captain carried to the rear, where he soon died, leaving good evidence that he had found spiritual relief.

This was the closing drama of the war, as two days after General Lee surrendered the rebel army of Northern Virginia to General Grant. The Union army soon after returned to Washington and vicinity, where, by different commands, they were mustered out of service. The 64th proceeded to Elmira, where it received final pay and discharge July 24th, 1865. Thus ended near four years of warfare with General Glenny; he being the only officer who went out as such who returned with the Regiment.

The General is now engaged in the mercantile trade, and located in the store formerly occupied by John Kendall, Esq., and is carrying on a very successful and profitable trade.

Stephen Brewer, Saddles, Harness, &c., enlisted November 21st, 1851. Mr. Brewer was a good soldier; his membership with the Company was soon dissolved by his removal to Cortland village, where, like his professional brother Millspaugh, he has held many offices of trust and honor, among which was County Judge of Cortland county.

F. K. Andrus, Bookseller, &c., enlisted November 21st, 1851. Mr. Andrus has answered to his name as fourth, third, second and first Corporal, and fifth, fourth, third and second Sergeants. Was one of the most active members of the Company during the whole seven years, and over, of his membership. We find but very few meetings or drills of the Company that he is not marked present. He was a thorough soldier, never satisfied with half knowing how. His motto was, "Excelsior." No member who served while Sergeant Andrus was connected with the Company, will ever forget him; always good-natured and cheerful, inclined to look on the bright and never on the dark side of the picture; and during times in the history of the Company, when many were despondent, and the future looked any thing but encouraging, he was always with a cheerful heart and a ready hand, willing to contribute in whatever way was necessary to raise the standard of the Company; and we believe whatever he undertook he succeeded in accomplishing. Mr. Andrus is now one of the firm of Andrus, McChain & Co., probably the largest Paper Manufacturers in Western New York; and very many of our citizens and distinguished visitors from abroad, can testify to his politeness and urbanity in showing them through their large manufactory at Fall Creek.

Charles Clapp, Painter, enlisted November 21st, 1851. Mr. Clapp, at his own request, was granted a discharge soon after his enlistment. His military ardor was in no degree dampened, however, as will be seen from the following: He enlisted in the United States army December 30th, 1863, in Company M, 21st New York Cavalry, in which he served eighteen months; was engaged in the battle of New Market, and in the reserve at Cedar Creek. Mr. Clapp also had two sons in the army. He was particularly distinguished for his Good Samaritan kindness, as many of his comrades can testify. Having some knowledge of medicine, he imparted the all-healing balm to those about him who were sick or wounded.

E. C. Fuller, Painter, enlisted November 21st, 1851. He filled the offices of Corporal and Sergeant; was a good soldier, a faithful officer, and a skilled artisan.

William V. Bruyn, Lawyer, enlisted November 21st, 1851. Immediately upon his joining the Company he was elected first Lieutenant, which commission he held until his removal to Syracuse. He was a man of talents and fine accomplishments, which, combined with his gentlemanly bearing, made an officer of which the Company were at all times proud. He was once District Attorney of Tompkins county, and is now engaged in his profession in the city of Syracuse, where he meets with that success he so richly merits.

Loren Day, wholesale Liquor dealer, enlisted November 21st, 1851. Mr. Day, we believe, never served as a member but a short time, if at all. His connection, however, with this or any other institution, would be an honor to it. He is one of the most quiet, still one of the best, citizens of our village. He has been very successful in business, which may be credited to his strict attention and uncompromising honesty.

William M. Culver, dealer in Hats, Caps and Furs, enlisted November 22d, 1851. Served but a short time, a worthy member, and was honorably discharged. He is still successfully engaged in the above business.

Theodore A. Hanmer, Clerk, enlisted November 24th, 1851. Very soon after enlistment he removed to a Southern State, where he still resides.

Philip J. Partenheimer, Cashier Tompkins County Bank, enlisted November 25th, 1851. We often hear it said there is no man but has his enemies; this may be the rule, we will produce the exception.

At the first election of Company A, held in December, 1851, Mr. Partenheimer was unanimously elected their Captain, which commission he held until August 25th, 1862—over ten years. Nearly two hundred men served under him while Captain of this Company, by each of which he was not only respected and honored as their commanding officer, but as a citizen and gentleman. Few officers ever had the confidence, respect and esteem of his command as did Captain Partenheimer. Very likely some were at times dissatisfied with his rulings; soon, however, his sound judgment was apparent, and his decisions perfectly satisfactory to all. When necessary he was stern, but always kind and forgiving. When he gave a command, his men knew it must be promptly and correctly executed. His generosity was only exceeded (so far as his Company was concerned) by his desire to have his gifts unknown to the members or others, and if it could be known how much he had paid for the use and improvement of his Company, a very considerable sum could be added to the amount of disbursements spoken of in the preface of this record.

Captain Partenheimer's first business engagement was with S. B. Munn, Jr., of this village. His clerkship was of short duration, however, as his superior talent as an accountant was soon displayed,
