The following is a list OF names taken
from the original muster-roll OF Com

Gently delivered them TO the captains

the lst day Of May. 1861. and had an en-
rolment OF 1S4 names. Up 10 the present
month ffty-e!ght of these are living. A
good many or the names on this list were
enrolled some time after the company was
first organized, and tho three last were
enlisted as late es the spring OF 1864.

much accuracy as possible, ia regard 10
distinguishing the living from the dead,

erroneous in this respect:

the close OF the war:
