by death. Upon receiving intelligence of his death a special meeting was called, when the following preamble and resolutions, offered by Lieut. King, were unanimously adopted:

"Whereas, The Supreme Ruler of the Universe has, in the exercise of His power and wisdom, seen fit to remove from our midst our esteemed friend and fellow soldier, Sergeant James C. McClune, therefore be it

Resolved, That we receive the sad bereavement as a mandate from Him who doeth all things well.

Resolved, That we offer our sincere and heartfelt condolence to the sorrowing family of the deceased, and we assure them that we will ever revere the memory of their son and brother.

Resolved, That as a mark of our respect for the character of our deceased comrade, we will attend his funeral, and escort his remains to their last resting place with military honors.

Resolved, That we wear the usual badge of mourning for the space of six months.

Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions, signed by the Chairman and Secretary, be presented to the family of the deceased, and published in the village papers.

P. J. Partenheimer, Captain.

William Glenny, Sec'y.

James H. Greenly, Merchant, enlisted June 3d, 1852. Mr. Greenly was in every respect a most estimable man, and as a soldier he had no superior. Always manifested a lively interest in whatever conduced to the benefit of the organization. He filled all the grades of non-commissioned offices; was Orderly Sergeant at the time he removed from us. No member ever left, carrying with him more well wishes and kind regards, than Sergeant James H. Greenly. Success and prosperity attend him ever in all his undertakings.

Jacob Warshaski, Clothing Merchant, enlisted July 1st, 1852. Was a faithful and worthy member for a few years. Upon changing his residence was granted an honorable discharge.

Major A. O. Shaw, Blacksmith. To name a day as the one on which the Major enlisted, is for us an impossibility, and we think it would be too much of a task for him, even, to find out the exact year, say nothing about the day. Suffice it to say, he has been honored with the title of Major from the earliest recollection of the writer. He has seen the time when he had command of more musicians alone than this Company at any one time ever numbered as members. He always enjoyed being a military man, and we believe there could be no greater pleasure for the Major to-day, than to head a column of a few hundred men and march through the streets of Ithaca, as he has done in years gone by. He has received three honorable discharges, each being granted by reason of the expiration of his term of service. This would give the Major twenty-one years in the service, and how much he overran on time on each of the discharges, we doubt if he knows. At all events he was a member of the DeWitt Guard when the writer joined, (which was in 1855,) and served until last year before he received his last discharge.

He has always been, and is to-day, one of the most accommodating military men of our acquaintance. At any time the Company would like to have him turn out with them, he is always ready, and invariably refuses a single dime compensation. The Major has the respect, not only of the Company with which he has so long served, but of the whole community. As a citizen, his politeness and gentlemanly conduct attracts the attention of every person who meets him; and the various positions he has so long and creditably filled, is sufficient to show that he is properly appreciated by the community in which he resides.

Moses R. Wright, Lawyer, enlisted July 8th, 1852. Was connected with the Company but a short time; was a man of fine talent, and a lawyer of great ability. He died in this village June 6th, 1855.

L. S. Blue, Boot and Shoe Merchant, enlisted July 8th, 1852. Mr. Blue served but a short time. Is now a resident of New York city.

John Page, Shoemaker, enlisted July 12th, 1852. His membership was short.

D. M. Oltz, Carpenter, enlisted June 23d, 1853. Was a good soldier and a good member of the Company; served for some time. His membership was dissolved by his removal to Canada.

J. B. Hammond, Jeweler, enlisted June 23d, 1853. Served faithfully as Company bugler until his removal to St. Louis.

Melville Wilkinson, Clerk, enlisted July 4th, 1853. Was a good soldier while connected with the Company, and a better one after leaving it. He removed from the district after a membership of one or two years. Upon the breaking out of the war he enlisted in the 23d New York Volunteers; was soon commissioned Lieutenant; served his time; volunteered the second time, and was elected Captain in the 107th New York Volunteers. He was a brave and true officer; was engaged in many battles; was transferred to the Veteran Reserve Corps; afterwards held a prominent position upon the staff of General Coxe, who commanded the Department of Ohio. At the close of the war he devoted his time to preparing himself for the ministry, and is now an Episcopal clergyman, located in Ohio.

Thomas J. Phillips, Miller. (Date of enlistment not recorded.) Mr. Phillips was no ordinary soldier, as he most conclusively proved to a Bank President at the Seneca Falls encampment. He was always careful to know what his duty was, and then he was going to do it, let the consequences be what they might. He was always good natured, perfectly happy, and was poor society for those troubled with the blues. Never wanted much to do with a person who did not feel as good as himself. Was worth at the encampment spoken of above, more than some whole Companies. Had the advantages of an early education and good bringing up, used to living well at home, and believed in living well in camp—and did. No person, although he might be President of all the Banks in Hungary, could pass the line when he was the sentinel. He was athletic, not only in person but in mind, and too much good cannot be said of him as a soldier and a citizen. The Company sustained a severe loss when Mr. Phillips removed from among them, and became the proprietor of the Danby Spring Mills.

William H. Brown, Grocer, enlisted July 28th, 1853. Mr. Brown served his full time and received an honorable discharge. He always felt a deep interest in the welfare of the Company; particularly prompt to meet all the demands made upon him; always gave cheerfully, and has in many instances paid for others who could illy afford to pay for themselves; was always careful to have no one know that he paid obligations other than his own; always present at the drills and meetings of the Company, and altogether Mr. Brown was one of the solid men of the Company. He has acted as Company Sutler at a number of encampments, and in this capacity has given the most perfect satisfaction.

Leonard Stoddard, Carriage Maker, enlisted July 28th, 1853. His membership was short—removing from the district soon after joining. He was employed in the extensive establishment of William S. Hoyt, Esq., the largest carriage manufacturer in Western New York.

Samuel Stoddard, Wool and Leather Merchant,
