The Company was first organized and disciplined under the youthful, very efficient and gallant Captain A.J. WASHBURN, who retired to private life as soon after the cessation of hostilities as possible, with a consciousness of having won a sufficiency of military glory and honor, having served his country from the very commencement of the "war."

First Lieutenant George H. BRIDGEWATER came to his untimely death by disease, in the hospital, closing a most glorious military career. He was a most genial companion and friend, and his premature end was heartily lamented by all of his fellow officers and men under his command.

Second Lieutenant S.H. WILLIS was promoted into another regiment for meritorious conduct, in advance of his own term in his own regiment and company.

Upon the death of First Lieutenant BRIDGEWATER, First Lieutenant A.C. REMBAUGH was assigned to the Company to fill the vacancy, being promoted to Captain, vice A. J. WASHBURN, resigned.

First Lieutenant F.H. MOON, a veteran and battle-scarred hero of the war, was assigned to this Company in April, 1865, and has proved himself a gentlemanly and very efficient officer.

Second Lieutenant S.D. EDGAR was promoted from the non-commissioned staff.
