Vernon J. Terry, Tobacconist, enlisted September 23d, 1862. Mr. Terry is the third member of the same family who have served as members of this Company. On account of business it was impossible for him to personally accompany his comrades during their service in the United States army,—but generously furnished a substitute at an expense to him of over one hundred dollars. He is one of the large tobacco and cigar manufactures of this village, and his brand upon the weed is a sure indication of prime stock.
Alfred Brooks, Hat, Cap and Fur Merchant, enlisted October 1st, 1862. Is now fourth Sergeant of the Company; is a favorite, not only of the Company, but of the community at large; was a good soldier, is a good Sergeant, and will make a good Captain or Colonel. Stood face to face with the Rebels at Elmira, and never evinced the slightest degree of cowardice.
He is the junior partner of the firm of F. Brooks & Son, so favorably known throughout the county. The most fastidious cannot fail in being exactly suited with a selection from their extensive assortment of hats, caps or furs.
P. L. Root, Painter, enlisted May 12th, 1863. Served but a very short time.
Erastus M. Cronk, Traveling Agent, enlisted May 19th, 1863. Mr. Cronk's profession is such that necessarily he is absent from many of the drills and meetings of the Company, but he is always willing to pay for all such absences.
He procured a substitute that represented him in the United States army, with a desire to do all that he can for the good of the organization, and a perfect willingness to stand by all rules and regulations of the Company. He is a good member, although only occasionally meeting with them.
E. T. Gardner, Mason, enlisted May 19th, 1863. At the time the Company volunteered in the service of the general government, Mr. Gardner did not go, being under eighteen years of age at the time he enlisted, and not legally a soldier. Hence his name was stricken from the Roll.
E. M. Greenly, Professor in Ithaca Academy, enlisted May 20th, 1863. Very much of the time since his enlistment he has been traveling in foreign countries. Since his final return he has not renewed his membership.
William H. Hern, Clerk, enlisted May 21st, 1863. Mr. Hern was a first-class soldier, and a young man of high standing and great respectability in society. He removed from this village to the city of Syracuse; is engaged in candy manufacturing. Has also a large bakery which is in operation day and night, and is doing a very profitable business.
Thomas Hern, Confectioner, enlisted May 21st, 1863. Served with the Company in the United States army, and was a true and faithful soldier; was respected by both officers and men.
