Roll of Departed Patriots.
Through the courtesy Of Henry B: Daven-
port, Esq, we have been furnished with the
original Muster Roll of the Company from
this county in the War Of 'l2-'14, command
ed by his venerated sire. At the TIME of or
ganization Capt. Joseph Grantham was at its
head, but he having been taken sick before
the company reached its field of operation,
Lieut.. Braxton Davenport was assigned to the
command and so continued until its disbandon-
ment. How many oe this noble band fell
sacrifice to their patriotic service, we are un>
able to state, though so far as our knowledge.
extends there is but one, CAREY THOMPSON,
of Harper's Ferry, moo hvimg. Even the
names, which at that period in our country's
peril were as familiar in our midst as house
hold words, have almost been oblterated, and
with but here and there an exception, is there
any link of consauguinity uniting the present
with the past. What changes even the lapse
of less than three score years has produced in
our community, the roll-call Of the departed
hundred will furnish melancholy proof =
Those of our day and generation who honor
their patriotism and revere their memories,
can only wish that they may rest in peace
until the last trump is sounded, when their
names will be found recorded upon the roll
call of the just made perfect
