Aaron Osborn, Clerk, enlisted February 27th, 1865. Mr. Osborn is one of the very best members at the present day; always present and always prompt to meet his dues and other obligations, and as a soldier is excelled by very few; as a citizen he is respected by all. He is connected with the large Boot and Shoe manufactory of C. Christiance & Son, of this village.
W. V. Wood, Farmer, enlisted February 27th, 1865. Discharged June, 1866.
W. H. Hall, Clerk, enlisted February 27th, 1865. Volunteered from the Company in the United States Navy.
Charles A. Phillips, Clothing Merchant, enlisted February 10th, 1865. Mr. Phillips is one of the most active members; is its present Secretary; every body likes Charley. Is one of the firm of A. Phillips & Sons, extensive Clothing manufactures. The large and increasing business of their House is their best recommendation.
D. N. Johnson, Book-Keeper, enlisted February 27th, 1865. Son of Captain Johnson and brother of E. K., whose history has already been noticed. One of the most respected and esteemed young men of the village. A good soldier and a good member of the Company. Is confidential clerk and book-keeper with Messrs. Seymour & Johnson, merchants and general dealers.
C. L. Taber, Clerk, enlisted April 5th, 1865. Charley is a first rate boy; just as good a soldier, and equally as good a member of the Company.
William Hatch, Steam-Boat Steward, enlisted February 10th, 1865. Any person who has traveled the waters of Cayuga Lake, and not heard of Billy Hatch, and not regaled themselves with the luxuries provided by him, is probably the very one who would deny the existence of any such sheet of water, or would astonish us no more were they to deny their own existence. To confine ourselves to Mr. Hatch's qualifications as a soldier, however, would be more proper in this connection; but where a man is as good in one position as in another, we are frequently apt to digress from our subject.
The time he is obliged to be away from the drills and meetings, he makes up by doing for the Company very much in other directions. One of the most prompt, as well as one of the most generous members, has frequently paid fines and dues or other obligations of other members, who he thought could not afford to pay for themselves. Although at many of our drills we miss Mr. Hatch, still he is a member we should be as unwilling to have leave us, as would Captain Wilcox, Captain Goodrich or the traveling community at large, to have him resign his position on the Kate Morgan.
M. J. Barker, Express Clerk, enlisted May 4th, 1865. A very stirring and energetic young man, and a soldier of ability. Is properly appreciated by the Company he represents.
Charles F. Clark, Clerk, enlisted May 4th, 1865. Is a young man of promise, a good soldier and first class salesman. Is employed in the large dry-goods house of J. S. Granger & Company.
