L. P. Kennedy, Merchant, enlisted June 9th 1863. We envy no man his task were he compelled to find, in this lower sphere, a more consistent, upright and generous man, or a more devoted, faithful and exemplary soldier, than Corporal L. P. Kennedy; always at the drills, invariably present at all parades, and never absent at the meetings of the Company. He was represented in the United States army by a good and faithful substitute.
He is engaged in a general dry-good and fancy trade, and is receiving a liberal share of the public patronage.
E. M. Latta, Turner, enlisted September 2d, 1863. Corporal Latta is one of the members that the Company, and all who feel an interest in its welfare, are greatly indebted to. One of the most punctual and regular attendants at all the meetings, drills and parades; so much so, that it is the remark of those present, when the Corporal is absent, that something serious is the matter. A finer soldier never shouldered a gun, a perfect gentleman, a splendid mechanic, and a citizen respected by all who know him. One of the best shots in the Company, invariably taking a prize at the target shoots. He volunteered and was mustered in the United States service with the Company in 1864. No more faithful or better soldier ever swore in the service, always ready to do any thing he was called upon, and many times did double duty to relieve others whom he thought not as well able to perform the labor as himself. The attachments formed by members of the Company while at Elmira, will long be remembered, and the name of Corporal Latta will stand high upon the list of those who rendered many kindnesses, and was always so willing to do any thing for his comrades that would tend in any way to meliorate their condition. He was detailed several times and sent with detachments of troops to the front, and in all his trips never lost a man. Served the full term of his enlistment and was honorably discharged.
John Shaw, Student, (date of enlistment not recorded). A very active member; joined the Company when a mere boy and filled the position of marker. As soon as he was of suitable age and size, he shouldered his gun and became a regular member; he served well and faithfully until he left his home to attend college.
We believe it is his intention to devote himself to the ministry.
M. G. Phillips, Blacksmith, enlisted September 2d, 1863. Mr. Phillips was an honored and respected member, a good soldier, and a conscientious man. He died December 26th, 1864.
Fred. Greenly, Student, enlisted September 2d, 1863. A young man of fine attainments, and a splendid soldier. He served with the Company as long as he was a resident of the place.
Is now a Professor in the Military Academy at Eaglewood, New Jersey. Received his first military education in this Company, and was under the instruction of Colonel K. S. Van Voorhees.
William K. Stansbury, Book-Keeper, enlisted September 2d, 1863. Served as marker in the Company until September, 1864, when he resigned.
Frank Perry, Confectioner, enlisted September 3d, 1863. Was a good member, and served faithfully until he removed from the district. Is now a resident of the city of Syracuse.
