H. F. Randolph, Shoe Merchant, enlisted November 5th, 1851. Mr. Randolph had more than served his time, and reached the rank of Captain, in the old militia before joining this organization. He was an officer of no common attainments—prompt, active and generous. The interest he had always manifested, and now felt, in military matters, compelled him to join this new enterprise; he enlisted as a private, and is to this day an honorary member of the Company. He has accompanied them on many an excursion, and is always invested with the command of the honorary members. The Captain has now attained the age of sixty-three years, and is still as smart, hale and hearty as a lad of sixteen.
J. C. McWhorter, Merchant, enlisted November 5th, 1851. Remained but a short time with the Company, but the soul-stirring strains of music, as rendered by him on the snare drum while he was a member, will long be remembered by those associated with him during his short military experience.
Fred. S. Lamoureux, Musician, enlisted November 5th, 1851. Was a very valuable member for a very short time; for while resting from the fatigue of drill, Lamoureux always furnished the music for the light foot portion of the Company.
William S. Allen, Carpenter, enlisted November 6th, 1851. Was a faithful and exemplary member for a few years, and undoubtedly his connection with this Company gave him the position he has honorably filled since his removal from us—that of policeman in New York city. He was consequently transferred as Sergeant from this Company to Sergeant of police in that city.
K. Morris, Clothing Merchant, enlisted November 7th, 1851. Served but a short time.
S. Newmark, Clothing Merchant, enlisted November 10th, 1851. Served faithfully for a short time and was granted an honorable discharge.
J. G. Conrad, Clerk, enlisted November 8th, 1851. Mr. Conrad faithfully performed the duties of a member of this Company for a short time.
L. R. King, Merchant, enlisted November 9th, 1851. At the time of the organization of the Company, Mr. King was elected fourth Sergeant, and by promotion filled each office up to first Lieutenant, and was in command of the Company for some time. Lieutenant King, by his kind and pleasing way, and the interest he ever manifested in the welfare of the Company, commanded the respect and admiration of every man who served under him. He held the commission of first Lieutenant from May 28th, 1856, to August 25th, 1862. Upon his resignation being accepted, he was voted an honorary membership for life. He is one of the enterprising firm of Treman, King & Co., large manufacturers. We believe that Mr. King can look back upon the years spent in the DeWitt Guard as not altogether unprofitable.
W. B. Hatfield, Clerk, enlisted November 15th, 1851. Mr. Hatfield was a good soldier; was in the employ of L. H. Culver, Esq.; retained his connection with the Company and his employer until his removal to the West.
Spence Spencer, Book Merchant, enlisted November 15th, 1851. Retained his membership but a short time, but with the liberality which was always a prominent characteristic of Mr. Spencer, he donated to the Company a complete uniform, which is the first recorded gift made to the DeWitt Guard. He is still a citizen of Ithaca, and has of late attached no small degree of honor to his name by publishing the book entitled, "The Scenery of Ithaca."
