PREPARED BY P. SAMUEL RIGNEY, Quartermaster- Sergeant 203d Regt, N. Y. V. I. With preface by William Cary Sanger, Lieut-Col. and Inspector, N. G. S. N. Y. Newburgh, N. Y., October, 1899, NEWBURGH JOURNAL PRINT. (A Preface. In the following pages there is a record of the Two Hun- dred and Third Eegiment, New York Volunteer Infantry, which tells the story of its organization, its service, and its muster out, facts of interest of those who served with the regiment, and important as part of the military history of the State and of the War. The 203rd had the trying experience of continuous camp life, unbroken by the interest and excitement of active cam- paigning. The one thing which the American Volunteer wants to do when he gets a gun in his hands, is to fight, and this spirit often resents the delays which are absolutely necessary to prepare a force for its most important work. It is doubtful if a regiment's discipline — that cornerstone of soldierly merit — could be put to a severer test than spend- ing a year in camp, while other regiments are at the front. Digging sinks and ditches, policing camp, burning refuse, even drilling and marching, important as they all are, do not realize the young soldier's idea of war, to say nothing of his dream of glory. It is no light praise to say that the officers and men of the 203d, through the long and some- times tedious months, worked honestly and persistently, and doggedly, when not cheerfully, to bring the regiment up to the high standards of the United States service. All cherished until the last a hope that they would see some active service, and until the last all strove to make the regiment so efficient that it could perform with credit any duty to which it might be assigned. In its Colonel the regiment had an able officer, who brought to it the best spirit of the army, and the officers as a body did their work faithfully in perfecting the regiment and in caring for the men. The enlisted men represented many different occupations and many different stations in life; all in all the regiment was probably as thorough a type of a volunteer regiment as any in the service. It improved and developed steadily, and it was no partial judgment which made all its mem- bers proud of it, but with no false pride, or useless asser- tion of superiority over others. It was a bitter disappointment to the regiment that it did not have a chance to prove its worth by active service, but the keenness of that feeling was softened by the knowl- edge that it tried to do the duty to which it was ordered in a way worthy of the uniform which it wore. A large proportion of the officers and many of the men had served in the National Guard, and in our regiment, as in all the others from New York, this service proved to be of value. Under the wise guidance of New York's present Governor, and of the Major General commanding the forces, the future training of the Guard will be such as to still bet- ter fit it to enter upon the actual duties of a soldier in the field. This is not the place to discuss the methods of organizing a reserve for our army, but it may not be out of place to ex- press the hope that some system will eventually be adopted which will make our Volunteer Eegiments less evanescent than the three which last went out from this State; and that for the benefit of our military service there will be something more than a few printed pages to perpetuate the spirit, the traditions and the esprit de corps of such regi- ments as the 203d. ^/A 72^ Conewago. At first the regiment suffered on account of the inade- quate supply of good water, as all the water to be used for cooking purposes was brought from the supply at Camp Meade in tank-cars. The first shipment was made in an oil tank and was wholly unfit for use as it was impossible to remove the odor and taste of oil, though two different filters were used with that object in view. Thereafter the water was brought from Camp Meade in an old engine ten- der, and though the quantity was limited the quality was much improved. A well equipped hospital was established and qualified men from the regiment detailed to act as attendants. The typhoid fever patients were not retained at this hospital for treatment, but were sent to some reputable hospital in one of the nearby cities. Of the number of men detailed as attendants at the regi- mental hospital, Corporal Lee B. Wright of A Company and Private Silas S. Feeter of D Company, maintained their connection with the hospital during the existence of the regiment. Acting Assistant Surgeon Stewart was assigned to the regiment, where he remained for over a month. He was an untiring worker and he did much toward bringing about a better condition of health in the regiment. Private Joseph Quinn of C Company, died on October 2, of typhoid fever, at Hospital, Morristown, Pa. On October 3rd, by an order of the Secretary of War, the resignation of Henry S. Clark, First Lieutenant and Ad- jutant, was accepted and he was honorably discharged from the service of the United States. — 30 — On the same day Sergeant-Major Charles W. Prear was commissioned Second Lieutenant and assigned to E Com- pany. Corporal Walter I. Lyman of E Company was ap- pointed Sergeant-Major vice Frear promoted. During the morning of October 3rd, two men from D Com- pany while on their way to a stream a short distance from camp, discovered the body of Private William R. Ostrander, of the same company, lying in the brush. They hastened back to camp and notified the Surgeon in charge, who at once sent an ambulance after the body. An examination disclosed the fact that death resulted from angina pectoris, a form of heart disease. The body was sent to an under- taker at Elizabethtown, and after funeral services, in which the local Grand Army Post participated, the remains were sent to Newburgh, N. Y., for interment. On October 5th, Second Lieutenant Michael Collins of M Company returned to the regiment after an absence of one month on sick leave, and Second Lieutenant Austin J. Mc- Mahon of L Company, who was suffering from typhoid fever, was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital,- Reading, Pa. He was unable to rejoin the regiment until December 12. On October 7th, First Lieutenant Solomon Avery, Jr., of I Company was mustered in as Adjutant, vice Clarke re- signed. On the same day Private Ellwood B. Eoss of E Company was discharged, pursuant to telegraphic orders received from the War Department. On Sunday, October 9th, the first religious service in the field, at which the regiment was present, was conducted by the Chaplain. The " Church call " was sounded and the companies marched to the parade ground, where they form- ed a semi-circle in front of the temporary pulpit which had been previously erected. The service was opened with a prayer, followed by the singing of hymns, after which the Chaplain delivered an eloquent and forcible sermon in which he called the atten- tion of his audience to the fact that a soldier had many — 31 — things to be thankful for and that a soldier's life was not altogether a hard one. The service was closed by the sing- ing of the " National Ode," in which the members of the regiment heartily joined. On the same day Private Christopher J. Schmidt, Jr., of H Company, died in the German Hospital, Philadelphia, Pa. On October 11th the regiment went out on a practice march through the surrounding country. The regiment kept on the highway on the way out, but the return march was " across country." At the evening parade oJv October 12th, orders were pub- lished directing the regiment to proceed to Greenville, S. C, on or about October 27th. This order was afterward countermanded. On October 13th, the regiment went out on a practice march in heavy marching order. The line of march select- ed was to Elizabethtown, a distance of about two miles, and return. On the same day Captain John I. Pruyn of B Company left for his home at Yonkers, N. Y., on sick leave, and First Lieutenant Nugent assumed command of the company. The people in the vicinity of the camp cherished a very friendly feeling for the soldiers and did much toward re- lieving the monotony of their existence. The inhabitants of Elizabethtown, a village within about two miles from the camp, were particularly kind. The town hall was convert- ed into a dining room where the ladies of the village served meals to the provost guard who were stationed in the vicin- ity. Assistant Surgeon Abram L. Haynes returned to theregi- ment on the 15th of October, after an absence of about twenty days on sick leave. Private Charles A. Kiggs of I Company was discharged the same day, pursuant to telegraphic orders received from the Secretary of War. — 32 — On October 16th, Private Michael A. Korrick of M Com- pany, died of typhoid fever at Elmira, N. Y. Private Delbert 0. Nellis of Company, died on October 17, at the House of Good Shepherd, Syracuse, N. Y. On the 19th of October Major Coffin of the Paymaster's Department came to camp and paid the men for September. Second Lieutenant John W. Arbuckle of B Company was honorably discharged from the service of the United States on October 20th, pursuant to orders received from the War Department. First Sergeant John C. Dardess of I Company, Sergeant Sidney D. Wilgus of H Company, and Corporal Joseph C. Baker of A Company were also discharged from the service pursuant to orders received from the Secretary of War. On the same day Corporal John H. Plumpton of C Com- pany, died of typhoid fever, at Presbyterian Hospital, Phila- delphia, Pa. On October 21st, Second Lieutenant Duncan C. Lee of C Company was given an honorable discharge from the service of the United States, pursuant to an order received from the Secretary of War. On the same day Private Theodore J. Reynolds of I Com- pany, died of typhoid fever at the Arnot-Ogden Hospital, Elmira, N. Y. The general health in the regiment now began to show marked signs of improvement, and the men who had been absent on sick furlough and at the different hospitals were returning to camp in large numbers. Orders directing the vaccination of every man in the regi- ment were received and the Surgeons at once proceeded to comply with the same. Drilling with arms was suspended for a time after the men were vaccinated. On the 23rd of October, First Sergeant Alfred J. Tooker and Quartermaster-Sergeant Richard H. Brown of F Com- pany were discharged, pursuant to orders received from the Secretary of War. — 33 — On October 26th First Sergeant John M. Irwin of E Com- pany was commissioned Second Lieutenant of P Company, and First Sergeant Fred C Norris- of M Company was com- missioned Second Lieutenant in B Company. On the same day Corporal Edward M. Bendexin, Privates Clarence C. Bingham and Ambrose L. Webb of A Company, and Private Frederick M. Hodges of I Company were dis- charged, pursuant to orders received from the War Depart- ment. On October 27th, First Lieutenant Alexander D. Jenney of A Company was promoted to First Lieutenant of I Com- pany, and Sergeant Philip S. Golderman of I Company was commissioned Second Lieutenant" and assigned to A Com- pany. On the same day Corporal Louis O. Dingus of H Company was discharged from the service, pursuant to telegraphic orders received from the Secretary of War. On October 30, Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant Fred W. Field received orders to report at Division Headquar- ters, where he was detailed on special duty as assistant to the Engineer officer and ordered to proceed to Greenville, S. C, to assist in the preparation of a winter camp at that place. Captain Norton Chase of F Company, having tendered his resignation, was, on November 2nd, discharged from the service of the United States, pursuant to orders received from the Secretary of War. On the same day First Lieu- tenant Stephen H. Mould of D Company, who had been ab- sent on sick leave for over a month, returned to the regi- ment. Colonel Schuyler was at Washington from October 29th to November 3rd, during which time Lieutenant-Colonel Sanger was in command of the regiment. The third day of November was designated by the com- manding officer as the date of holding the election in the regiment, pursuant to the provisions of the law granting to soldiers the right to vote in the field, Election officers were — 34 -~ selected in each company and the different Captains' tents converted into polling places, which were kept open from 8 a. m. to 1 p. m., during which time every qualified elector in the regiment was given an opportunity to cast his ballot. Less than five hundred ballots were cast in the regiment, and the largest number cast in any company was forty- three, which number was in D Company. All drills were suspended for the day and the afternoon was devoted to field sports, in which teams from the differ- ent companies participated. First Sergeant James T. Akin and Quartermaster Ser- geant Wildridge H. Gorman of H Company were discharged on November 3rd, pursuant to orders received from the War Department. On November 5th, Private Charles Sullivan of C Company was discharged without honor, pursuant to the findings of a General Court Martial. On November 6th, Horace Webster was appointed Second Lieutenant and assigned to C Company. Carl A. Trost, a private in A Company, was appointed Principal Musician vice Stamm, reduced. Private James H. Lynch of H Com- pany received his discharge on the same day. The Board of Surgeons appointed to examine Private Jerome W. Seeley of E Company, as to his mental and physi- cal condition, reported that he was unfit for further mili- tary duty. He was, therefore, discharged from the service on November 8th. The weather at this camp continued to grow colder and more unpleasant, therefore the orders directing the regi- ment to proceed to Greenville, South Carolina, were hail- ed with no small degree of pleasure, and active prepara- tions for the movement were at once begun. On November 10th, Privates Ward J. Kenney and Wil- liam K. Landers of L Company were discharged, pursuant to telegraphic orders received from the War Department. While at Conewago the members of H Company present- ed their Captain with a very fine dress sword. -- 3ft - On November 11th, "■' Keveille " was sounded at an early hour and the work of breaking camp begun at once. The tents were taken down and together with the other camp equipage hauled to the station. After all the baggage was put aboard the cars the horses and mules were loaded on cattle cars and the ambulances and mule wagons put on flat cars. Some time was consumed in getting the horses and mules in the cars, as some of them had decided objections to such narrow quarter^. The tent floors were neatly piled and the camp thoroughly policed, all of which was complet- ed before noon. Three days travel rations were issued to each company, and Lieutenants Baldwin, Traver and Hannah were detail- ed as Acting Quartermaster of the first, second and third Battalions respectively. At about 1 p. m. the regiment, in heavy marching order, left the camp and proceeded to the station where a train of three sections was in waiting. A number of freight cars were attached to each section, and after much backing and switching the first section left Conewago Station at about 2.30 p. m. The first section was in charge of Lieutenant- Colonel Sanger and carried Companies A, I, M and E. This section took on the Brigade Staff, guard detail and baggage at Harrisburgh, Pa. The second section was in charge of Major Goodier and carried Companies 0, D, H and G; and the third section was in charge of Major McClintock and carried Companies B, F, K and L. The three sections arrived at Baltimore within a few minutes of each other at about 9 p. m. The train remained here for some time. Another delay was experienced at Washington, where the three sections arrived within half an hour of each other; the first at about 11.30 p. m. A short distance out from Washington the engine attach- ed to the second section broke down, and this section was side-tracked for several hours, during which time it was passed by the third section. The first and third sections were now running close together with the second section — 36 — about two hours behind, which relative position they main- tained to the end of the journey. When the morning of November 12th dawned bright and clear the regiment was traveling through that part of Vir- ginia where years before the contending armies of the North and South struggled for supremacy, and where many brave men sacrificed their lives on the altar of the God of War that the cause which each thought just might prevail. Time, however, has effectually removed the evidences of the conflict, and the hills and vales then red with the blood of brothers were resplendant in autumnal foliage. The first and third sections arrived at Charlottesville, Va., at about 8 a. m., and the second section at 10 a. m. The officers and men of each section breakfasted at this place. The mid-day meal was had at Lynchburgh, Va., where the first two sections arrived at about 12 m., and the last section at 2 p. m. Stops were also made for meals at Danville, Va., and Greenboro, N. C. 0) Q O CO B E (V O 5 Chapter VI. Camp Wetherill. The regiment, after a very slow and tiresome trip, arrived at Greenville, S. C, early Sunday morning, November 13th. A very severe rain storm was in progress, which con- tinued throughout the day, adding much to the discomfort of the men while engaged in transferring the baggage and making camp. The men also learned something of the quality of southern mud, as it was several inches deep on the road over which they were obliged to pass on the way to camp. , The camp had been previously laid out by the Engineer officers and a number of tent floors were on the ground, therefore there was very little delay in getting the tents in position. The tents were erected in rows of three, the front and center tents being open at both ends, thus forming one long tent. This form of construction was adopted in order to reduce the number of separate structures to correspond with the number of tent-stoves allowed to the regiment. The three regiments, the 203rd N. Y., 4th N. J., and 2nd W. Va., which composed the First Brigade of the Second Division of the Second Army Corps, were located on a ridge just north of Greenville; the 203rd being on the west and nearest the Second Division Hospital. A crop of sweet potatoes had just been removed from the ground now occupied by the regiment and it required con- siderable time and labor to put it in a satisfactory condi- tion. Just north of the camp a crop of cotton was in full growth. The present location of the regiment admitted of a thor- ough system of drainage, which was immediately adopted and the work of making the camp thoroughly sanitary car- — 3S — ried out, as it was expected that the regiment would remain here for some time. The water supply of the regiment was taken from the Greenville water works, and was of a much better quality than that which was furnished at any other camp. Second Lieutenant Charles W. Frear of E Company, did not accompany the regiment to Greenville, as an order di- recting his discharge was received from the Secretary of War on November 11th. On November 12th, Second Lieutenant George J. Win- slow of G Company, who had been absent for a long time on sick leave, was discharged from the service of the United States, pursuant to an order received from the War Depart- ment. The officers of the regiment leased a large house ,in the immediate vicinity of the camp and established their mess therein. Some of the rooms were also fitted up for the ac- commodation of officers on the sick list, and the barns on the premises were converted into stables for the horses. At about 9 p. m., November 14th, a fire broke out in the tent used by the Adjutant as an office, and some of the records of the regiment were destroyed. The fire occurred during the temporary absence of the Sergeant-Major, and was caused by the overturning of a lighted candle which he had left on the desk. Fortunately, the important records of the regiment were not destroyed, as they had not been removed from the cases in which they were brought from Conewago. The Quartermaster's Department furnished lumber with which to build cook-shacks and mess-halls, and in a short time each company had erected comfortable and spacious buildings. The mess-halls were particularly desirable, being large, well lighted, well heated and generally adapted to fill a long felt want in furnishing the men with a comfortable place to eat in and where they could spend their spare time - 39 — during stormy weather and the long autumn and winter evenings. On November 15th, Privates Fred A. Lasher and Eobert A.v Parkinson of E Company were discharged from the ser- vice on orders received from the War Department. On November 16th, Private Alexander C. Grieve of B Company was discharged, pursuant to an order received from the Secretary of War. On November 19th, Major Lewis E. Goodier was appoint- ed Ordnance Officer and Inspector of Small Arms Practice of the Second Division, Second Army Corps. First Lieu- tenant George L. Baldwin of A Company was also appoint- ed Assistant Judge Advocate, General Court Martial, from which duty he was relieved on December 11th, when he was commissioned Captain. On November 20th, each man in the regiment was sup- plied with a muslin bed-sack, and straw with which to fill them was issued thereafter at intervals of fifteen days. On November 21, Private James Murphy of I Company was transferred to the United States Signal Corps, pursuant to an order of the Secretary of War. Sergeant Samuel M. Stewart of A Company was discharg- ed from the service on November 22nd, pusuant to tele- graphic orders received from the War Department. Quartermaster Sergeant Fred W. Field was commission- ed Second Lieutenant and assigned to G Company on No- vember 24. He was mustered in December 4. Captain Edward P. White of C Company, was directed by the commanding officer to assume command of the sec- ond battalion during the absence of Major Goodier on spec- ial duty. He was relieved on December 14. Thanksgiving day was duly observed in the regiment. Some of the companies received from their home stations, large consignments of turkeys and other seasonable edibles; others substantial sums of money, while the less fortunate companies were obliged to raise by subscription the funds — 40 — necessary to purchase the supplies for the time honored turkey dinner. On November 25th, First Sergeant Anton H. Schroeter of L Company was commissioned Second Lieutenant of E Com- pany, vice Frear resigned. On November 26, the First Brigade of which the regiment formed a part was reviewed by Generals You^g and Davis. The review was held in a large field to the north of the camp. The Brigade presented a very fine appearance, and the Colonels were highly complimented by the reviewing officers on the condition of their respective commands. On the same day the regiment received a consignment of Sibley tent stoves, which were at once issued to the com- panies. One stove was allowed to each row of three tents and was put up in the front tent, from which position it was capable, when properly attended, of comfortably warming the whole three tents. It was now getting late in the month and all hands were of the opinion that the Paymaster had forgotten the loca- tion of the regiment. This was not the case, however, as he arrived in camp on the 28th, well supplied with funds, which he distributed among the members of the regiment according to their rank and previous conduct. On November 29th orders were received from the Secre- tary of War directing the discharge of Major Surgeon Bur- ton S. Booth, he having previously tendered his resignation. He was not mustered out, however, until December 1. Quartermaster-Sergeant Grant Miller of I Company and Sergeant Daniel F. Kennedy of F Company were discharged from the service on November 29th, pursuant to telegraphic orders received from the War Department. Lieutenant-Colonel Sanger was in command of the regi- ment during the absence of Colonel Schuyler, from Novem- ber 30th to December 3. In addition to the regular drills the regiment was in- structed in Butts' Manual, and First Lieutenant Hamilton Foley of E Company was designated as instructor. — 41 — First Lieutenant Percival F. Dalphin of M Company re- joined the regiment on December 2nd, after an absence of two months on sick leave. On December 3rd, Private James F. Reynolds of F Com- pany was discharged, pursuant to an order received from the War Department. Quartermaster-Sergeant P. Samuel Rigney of D Company was appointed Quartermaster Sergeant of the regiment on December 4. On December 5th Corporal Lawrence A. Critenden of H Company was discharged pursuant to an order received from the Secretary of War. On December 6th, First Lieutenant George T. G. Saxton of F Company was honorably discharged from the service, and Corporal Paul W. Arnold of A Company also received his discharge, both pursuant to orders received from the Secretary of War. Second Lieutenant Fred W. Field was detailed as acting Commissary of Subsistence and Engineer officer of the regi- ment on December 7th, and Corporal Francis J. Casey of G Company was transferred to H Company, where he was ap- pointed Sergeant and detailed with the band. First Lieutenant Alexander D. Jenney of I Company, hav- ing tendered his resignation, was on December 8th, honora- bly discharged from the service of the United States. On the same day Second Lieutenant Fred W. Field was detail- ed on special duty at the Second Division Hospital. During the early part of December the members of the Non-Commissioned Staff, who had previously been assigned to the different companies for rations, organized a separate mess in a house near the camp. The many rumors to the effect that the regiment was to be sent to Cuba for garrison duty on or about January 1st, attained considerable credence when orders were received by the Quartermaster directing him to immediately prepare and forward a requisition for " canvas uniforms for tropical — 42 — service;" but the uniforms, like the orders to proceed to Cuba, were never received. On December 9th, First Lieutenant P. F. Dalphin of M Company was detailed as assistant to Captain Lord, Com- missary of Subsistence of the First Brigade. He was re- lieved on the 11th of January. Assistant Surgeon Abram L. Haynes was promoted Major and Surgeon on December 10th, vice Booth, resigned. On December 12th, First Lieutenant George L. Baldwin of A Company was commissioned Captain Company F, and Private Ray B. Shaefer of A Company was given his dis- charge, pursuant to telegraphic orders received from the Secretary of War. First Sergeant Binaldo R. Wood of C Company was ap- pointed Second Lieutenant and assigned to I Company on December 13, and on December 14th, First Sergeant Goss L. Stryker of G Company was commissioned Second Lieu- tenant of H Company. On December 15th, Second Lieutenant Louis H. Payne of I Company and George LeRoy Traver of H Company were commissioned First Lieutenants and assigned to Companies A and F respectively. On December 16th a detail from the regiment under com- mand of Major McClintock, was sent to Greenville to act as Provost guard, where they remained one week. Major Holloway of the Paymaster's Department came to camp on December 19th, and paid the men for November. Early on the morning of December 20th, Private John B. Mattice of K Company, while on guard duty at one of .the outposts in the eastern part of Greenville, discovered two members of the 2nd West Virginia Regiment shooting at a tree in the vicinity of his post. This being directly con- trary to orders, he commanded them to desist, but they paid no attention to him, and when he repeated his command they turned upon him and fired two shots in his direction. He fearing for his life, slipped a cartridge into his rifle and fired in the direction of the men. The bullet hit the nearer — 43 — man and passed through his body inflicting a wound from which he died soon, afterward. The second man was also slightly wounded by the same bullet. Mattice was placed under arrest and held for trial before a General Court Mar- tial. This occurrence was much to be deplored as it created among the members of the 2nd W. Va. Regiment, a bitter feeling against the men of the Two Hundred and Third, which later on resulted in bloodshed. Private Michael A. Gaffney of E Company was discharged from the service on December 20th, pursuant to an order re- ceived from the War Department. On December 21st, Corporal Harvey R. Wallace of H Company was discharged, pursuant to orders received from the Secretary of War, and on December 22nd, Privates Harry H. Shavor of I Company and George F. Yeomans of E Company, were also discharged. On December 23rd, Private Charles M. Woodside of H Company was discharged without honor, pursuant to the findings of a General Court Martial. On December 28th, Privates Robert H. Moorhead of D Company was discharged pursuant to a telegraphic order received from the War Department on December 8. Corporal Russell S. Carroll of A Company was discharged pursuant to an order received from the Secretary of War, on December 29. On December 31st, Captain John B. Tuck of Company A was placed in command of the third battalion by order of Colonel Schuyler, which position he held until January 23. New Years morning all the officers of the regiment called at headquarters in a body to pay their respects to the Colonel. On the first day of January Colonel Schuyler was placed in command of the First Brigade and he was not relieved until February 1st, during which time Lieutenant-Colonel Sanger was in command of the regiment. Private Oscar Calkauf of B Company was discharged on _ u — January 2nd, and Private Daniel F. Konan of A Company, died, the same day, of pneumonia, in the Second Division Hospital, Camp Wetherill, S. C. On January 3rd, Hospital Steward Charles G. Ellis was discharged, pursuant to a telegraphic order received from the Secretary of War December 15th. Private Julius Re- vinis of B Company, who was at his own request reduced from Quartermaster Sergeant, was also discharged from the service. On January 4th, Captain John I Pruyn of B Company, who had been absent for over two months on sick leave re- turned to the regiment. He was given a hearty welcome by the members of his command, by whom he was highly regarded, having won their esteem by his kindly bearing toward all. John C. Brown was appointed First Lieutenant of I Com- pany on January 5th, but did not report for duty until later in the month. Privates Rudolph Frank of B Company and Simon Finkenburg of H Company were discharged from the service on the same day. Sergeants Claude S. Hedges and Clarence C. Burk of D Company and Private Harry G. Reyonalds of I Company were discharged on January 7. On January 9th, Private Michael B. Flaherty was dis- charged, pursuant to an order received from the War De- partment, and Private Curtis D. Rowe of C Company was given a disability discharge. On the 10th of January a General Court Martial, of which Colonel Gilmore of the Fourth New Jersey Regiment was President, and Captain Coward of the same regiment was Judge Advocate, was convened for the trial of Private John B. Mattice of K Company, who was charged with violating the 58th Article of War. Mattice was ably defended by Major Goodier and Captains White and Bennett, and after a trial, which continued for four days, was acquitted. Private Howard R. Nugent of B Company was discharged — 45 — on January 10th, pursuant to telegraphic orders received from the Secretary of War. On January 11th, Major Surgeon Abram L. Haynes was detailed as acting Brigade Surgeon; Second Lieutenant Ar- thur G. Ackert of D Company was appointed Acting Quar- termaster of the Second Division Hospital, and Second Lieutenant Fred C. Norris of B Company was detailed as assistant to Captain Lord, Brigade Commissary of Subsis- tence. January 11th was the first real winter day experienced at Camp Wetherill. A light rain storm prevailed through- out the day and toward evening the temperature fell below the freezing point. During the night a complete coating of ice was formed over everything that was exposed to the elements, and when " reveille " sounded the next morning the men found the flies of their tents frozen together. First Lieutenant Percival F. Dalphin of M Company was mustered in as First Lieutenant and Assistant Surgeon on January 12. On January 13th, Private Edward J. Westcott of E Com- pany was discharged, and on January 15th Private George B. Montague of M Company was also discharged from the service. Privates Thomas J. Cook of D Company and James E. Whiffen of M Company received their discharges on Janu- ary 16th, and on the following day Private John O'Neill of H Company was granted a disability discharge. On January 20th, Sergeant John M. Quillan of B Com- pany and Privates Justin R. Skinner of G Company and Charles L. White of H Company were discharged, pursuant to orders received from the War Department. First Lieutenant James G. Hannah of K Company was appointed Judge Advocate, Second Division, Second Army Corps, on January 21st, and January 24th Corporal LeRoy W. Hickok of M Company was appointed Hospital Steward, vice Ellis, discharged. , By the verbal orders of the commanding officer, Captain _ 4fi -< Tuck was placed in command of the first battalion, which duty he performed until relieved on February 10th. On January 25th, Privates Edmond P. Engelhart and Allen McDonald of E Company were discharged from the service of the United States. On January 26th the regular afternoon drill was sup- planted by a sham battle. The regiment was divided and one battalion sent out in advance to take up a position in the woods to the north of the camp, where they were after- wards attacked by the balance of the regiment. Blank cartridges were used and to the onlooker the scene was very realistic. On the following day the performance was repeated, ex- cept that the party on the defensive took up their position in and about vacant buildings situated on a hill to the north of the camp. Hospital Steward Frank G. Engelhardt rejoined the regi- ment on January 27th, after an absence of over three months. • On the 15th of October he was sent to a hospital at Philadelphia and from there to Fort Myer, Va., where on December 31st, he was assigned to duty with the Hospital Corps. During the night of January 27th, and the forenoon of the 28th a severe snow storm pervaded the camp. The snow did not remain for any length of time, however, as the great- er part of it melted as it fell. On January 29th, Second Lieutenants Horace Webster of C Company and Philip S. Colderman of A Company were detailed on special duty with the Engineer Department, Second Division, Second Army Corps. They were relieved on March 1st. First Sergeant Arthur Chambers of B Company and Mu- sician Joseph A. Lapp of F Company were discharged on January 30th, pursuant to orders received from the Secre- tary of War, and on the following day Privates Jacob Wil- lis of H Company and George A. Bishop and James F. Par- sons of L Company wem also discharged from the service. On February 1st, Lieutenant-Colonel William Cary San- ger was musted out of the United States service, his resig- nation having been accepted and an order issued by the Secretary of War directing his discharge. Colonel Sanger had been offered the position of Inspector on the Staff of Major General Eoe, commanding the Nation- al Guard of New York, when the war began, but his accept- ance had been held in abeyance. Under the law changing the organization of the Headquarters Staff, the position of Assistant Chief of Artillery, which Col. Sanger had held, ceased to exist December 31st, and to be eligible for a posi- tion on the Staff of the Major General the appointment had to be made not later than that date; the appointment was accordingly made and Colonel Sanger was notified of the action of the State authorities. So long as there was any chance of the regiment being; ordered to active duty, Col. Sanger postponed action regard- ing his new appointment; but when satisfied that the regi- ment would soon be mustered out, he sent in his resignation as an officer in the volunteer service, in order to take up his duties in the State force — duties made especially important by reason of the reorganization of the National Guard, which was being energetically carried forward by the State authorities. Colonel Sanger was held in the highest esteem by both officers and enlisted men, and as he was about to leave camp he was surrounded by the members of the regiment who took advantage of this occasion to show the extent of their appreciation and at the same time bid farewell to the man, who during his sojourn with the regiment, had won their confidence and esteen. Private John J. Murphy of B Company was discharged from the service on February 1st, and on the following day Privates Floyd H. Bretch of E Company and Worthey S. Patchen of L Company were given their discharges. First Sergeant Paul M. Pain of A Company who had been absent — 48 — for some time on sick furlough, was also discharged, pur- suant to orders received from the War Department. On February 2nd, Major Lewis E. Goodier was commis- sioned Lieutenant-Colonel; Captain James S. Boyer of E Company was commissioned Major, and Solomon Avery, Jr., First Lieutenant and Adjutant was commissioned Captain of Company E. Before Major Goodier relinquished command of the sec- ond battalion to assume the duties of Lieutenant-Colonel the members of the battalion presented him with a hand- some sabre. Private Charles Eckles of Company A was discharged on February 3rd, and on the following day Private Ernest J. P. Witt of F Company was given his discharge. Captain Solomon Avery, Jr., of E Company was detailed as Acting Assistant Adjutant-General, First Brigade, Sec- ond Division, Second Army Corps, on February 4th, which position he held until the regiment was mustered out. On February 5th, Private John V. Searls of F Company, died at the Second Division Hospital, Camp Wetherill, Greenville, S. C. Sergeants William E. Gengel of C Company and Spencer M. Johns of F Company and Private Ernest A. McCoy of M Company were discharged on February 6th, pursuant to or- ders received from the Secretary of War, and on the follow- ing day Private Henry A. Dinehart of I Company was also discharged from the service. Major Wallace of the Paymaster's Department came to camp on February 8th and paid the men for January. On the same day a number of new orders relative to the govern- ment of the camp were issued by Colonel Schuyler, which among other things, directed that no colored person or suspicious character be allowed within the guard lines. During the night of February 8th a cold wave struck the camp, and the rain storm which had been in progress dur- ing the day turned into a very severe snow storm. The tem- perature continued to fall until it reached a point several — 49 — degrees below zero, an unusual occurrence in this part of the country. This change was very sudden and caused con- siderable suffering in the regiment, particularly among the men who were obliged to do guard duty. The number of sentry posts about the camp were reduced and the reliefs posted every hour, in order to lessen as far as possible the hardship of the men on guard. This extremely cold weath- er continued for about a week. Private Fred I. Briethaup of I Company was discharged on February 8th, and on February 9th Artificer Frank Ran- kin of E Company and Private Stephen B. Beesmer of K Company were discharged pursuant to orders received from the War Department. On February 10th Sergeant Oram Fetterly and Corporal Charles H. Fetterly of H Company, Privates John Bush of E Company, Albert Davenport of G Company and George R. Morris of M Company were discharged, pursuant to tele- graphic orders received from the Secretary of War. On February 11th, Companies E, H and K went to Green- ville to act as Provost Guard, where they remainpd until the 21st. First Lieutenant Hamilton Foley of E Company was ap- pointed Adjutant, and Second Lieutenant John M. Irwin of F Company was commissioned First Lieutenant of M Company, on the 11th of February. Private Frank Stead of F Company was discharged from the service on February 14th, and on the following day Private Fred W. July of E Company was granted a dis- charge, pursuant to* the findings of a Board of Surgeons, which had been appointed to examine him as to his physical condition. Captain Baldwin of F Company suffered the loss of all his personal effects in a fire which completely destroyed his tent during the night of the 16th of February. On the 18th of February Private George W. Ish of K Com- pany was discharged, and on the 20th First Sergeant Win- field S. Soetermon and Corporal James M, Pereival of B — 50 — Company were also discharged, pursuant to orders received from the Secretary of War. First Lieutenant Charles Vrooman of K Company was appointed First Lieutenant of B Company on February 21st, and Sergeant-Major Walter I. Lyman and First Sergeant Adam B. Jaeger of D Company were commissioned Second Lieutenants and assigned to Companies K and F respective- ly. Lieutenant Jaeger was the recipient of a handsome sword, which was presented to him by Captain Hunter of D Company. On February 22nd, Corporal Edwin F. Abbett of I Com- pany was discharged, and Private James F. Daly of F Com- pany received his discharge on February 23rd, pursuant to orders from the War Department. It was a great disappointment to the regiment that they could not see any active service; but notwithstanding this, the men accepted the monotony of camp life with commend- able spirit and fortitude; but when it was certain that they would never have anything but camp life in this country, they received with satisfaction the orders of February 21st for the mustering out of the regiment. On the 24th of February Privates Frank Hutchings of A Company, Haviland L. Jenks and Frank O. Richmond of M Company were discharged, pursuant to orders received from the Secretary of War. Sergeant Lucian D. Lacey of G Company, Corporal Clin- ton J. Bishop of E Company, Private John Stack of E Com- pany, Private Herbert McCabe of D Company, and Wagoner Jacob Cohen of L Company were placed on special duty with the Quartermaster, to assist in the work made necessary by the receipt of orders directing that the regiment be muster- ed out. Corporal James KiUock of D Company was appointed Sergeant-Major on February 27th, and the same day Chief Musician Harry Alden was discharged from the service, pursuant to a telegraphic order of the Secretary of War, dated the 21st day of February. -51 - Musician Joseph David of H Company 'was appointed Chief Musician on February 28th, vice Alden, discharged. On March 1st a number of non-commissioned officers were appointed to fill existing vacencies in the different com- panies, thus completing the rolls prior to mustering out. Private Ernest Egger of G Company, having been examin- ed by a Board of Surgeons, was, on the 6th of March, dis- charged from the service because of physical disability, which unfitted him for further military duty. • The 25th day of March was selected as the date on which the regiment was to be mustered out, and on March 6th the physical examination of the men was begun by the Surgeons who had been detailed for that purpose. Major Surgeon Kneedler of the Fourth New Jersey Eegiment, and Acting Assistant Surgeons Riefsnyder and Cohen of the Second Division Hospital, were detailed to conduct the examina- tions. The examination was by no means thorough, as the men were rushed through at the rate of about two per minute, except in cases where disability was claimed, in which case a little more time was devoted to the work. On March 8th, Private James E. Potts of I Company was discharged, and on the following day Private Michael T. Connelly of F Company was also discharged from the ser- vice. During the evening of March 11th, Private John H. Rob- erts of B Company, while on his way to camp from Green- ville, was shot and dangerously wounded by Provost Guard W. T. Sherman Ward, a private of Company K, 2nd West Virginia. The shooting was done with a revolver and was entirely unprovoked, and was thought to be the outcome of the bad blood which had been aroused among the mem- bers of the 2nd West Virginia by the killing of one of their members by Private Mattice of K Company, while on duty as a provost guard, during the month of December, 1898. Lieutenant-Colonel Goodier who had been in command of the regiment since February 21st, was relieved on March — 52 — 16th by Colonel Schuyler, who had been in command of the First Brigade since the 20th of February. On March 17th Colonel Schuyler reviewed the evening parade for the last time, and the men of the regiment never presented a better appearance than when they marched in review on this occasion. Private James T. Haynes of H Company was discharged without honor on March 18th, pursuant to the verdict of a General Court Martial before which he had been tried. The work preparatory to the mustering out of the regi-. ment progressed rapidly under the supervision of Captain Ezra B. Fuller, 7th U. S. Cavalry, who had been detailed as mustering officer, and was all finished within the required time. Being mindful of the fact that it is but human to err, men- tion of the names of the men who were tried by Summary Court have been purposely omitted, as it is considered enough that these unpleasant occurrences remain in the memory of the men who were thereby made to pay the pen- ality of their indiscretions. There were no permanent Battalion Adjutants appointed in the regiment, and these positions were filled by different Lieutenants. Lieutenant Mould of D Company acted as Ad- jutant of the Second Battalion the greater part of the time, and Lieutenant Sturgis of L Company generally performed similar duties in the Third Battalion. At 8 o'clock Saturday morning, March 25th, the work of mustering out the regiment, was begun. The companies were formed successively on the parade ground and after the roll call was verified by Captain Fuller each company proceeded to the mess hall to which it had been assigned for payment. The field and staff and six companies were paid by Major Philip Gallour in Company D's mess hall, and the balance of the regiment received their money from Major Kalph Hortzell in Company H's mess hall. Each man received pay for one month in addition to the time — 53 — which he had served, also travel pay to the place where he was mustered in. At about 12 o'clock Colonel Schuyler received his dis- charge from the Volunteer service, and the Two Hundred and Third Regiment ceased to exist. The Southern Eailroad Company gave reduced rates to all points in the north, and opened an office in camp where the men could secure their tickets and check their baggage. A special train of three sections was provided to take the men north, the last section of which left Greenville, S. C, at 4 p. m., March 25th. Arrangements were made by nearly all the Captains whereby their commands would be kept intact until they arrived at their respective home stations, where prepara- tions had been made by the citizens to receive them. During the eight months that the regiment was in the ser- vice twelve enlisted men of the regiment were commissioned Second Lieutenants to fill vacancies, and three vacancies were filled by the appointment of men who were not mem- bers of the regiment. At least one-fourth of the officers and three-fourths of the enlisted men were seriously sick at some time during the period of their service, and nineteen deaths were record- ed, which were divided among the companies as follows: A Company, two; B, one; C, two; D, one; E, one; F, two; Gr, one; H, two; I, three; K, two; L, none; and M, one. Prior to March 25th fourteen officers and one hundred and twenty men were discharged from the service. Of this num- ber the field, staff and non-commissioned staff furnished three officers and two men; Company A, eighteen men; B, one officer and fourteen men; C, one officer and four men; D, seven men; E, two officers and fifteen men; F, four offi- cers and eleven men; G, one officer and five men; H, one officer and eighteen men; I, one officer and eleven men; K, three men; L, seven men, and M, five men. The Seventy-seven men who received transfers to other military organizations were divided as follows: — 54 — Non-commissioned staff, one; Company A, fourteen; B, two; 0, seventeen; D, four; E, four; F, none; G, thirteen; H, one; I, five; K, one; L, twelve; and M, three. The names of sixty men were stricken from the rolls as deserters, and they were divided among the companies as follows: Company A, three; B, four; C, two; D, two; E, seven; F, nine; G, none; H, eight; I, six; K, eleven; L, four, and M, foUr. Colonel Schuyler, who, when the regiment was mustered out, returned to his position as Captain, Fifth U. S. Cavalry, has since been commissioned Colonel of Volunteers and as- signed to the command of the 46th Regiment, U. S. Vols. Major John McClintock and First Lieutenant and Adju- tant Hamilton Foley were commissioned Second Lieuten- ants in the regular army soon after the regiment was dis- banded, and the former has since been appointed Captain in the 46th Regiment, U. S. Vols. Lieutenant-Colonel Lewis E. Goodier has re-entered the volunteer service as Major of the 38th Regiment, U. S. Vols., and First Lieutenant Stephen H. Mould has been re-appoint- ed First Lieutenant of volunteers and assigned to the 44th Regt, U. S. Vols. Major and Surgeon Abram L. Haynes was the first officer of the regiment to receive an appointment in the new volun- teer army. He was commissioned Captain and Assistant Surgeon in the 31st Regt., United States Volunteers. Captain Solomon Avery, Jr., First Lieutenants James G. Hannah and Dexter Sturgis and Second Lieutenant Philip S. Golderman, accepted commissions as First Lieutenants in the new volunteer army. Second Lieutenant Horace Webster has also re-entered the volunteer service a Second Lieutenant.
