The Essex Troop. First Troop N. G.

ly of the volunteer service in the war of
the rebellion in the Pennsylvania cavalry.
The troop consists of seventy members, and
carries on its rolls the names of some of
the most respected families in Newark and
vicinity. Lawyers. doctors, bankers and
merchants compose its membership. 1t Is
differed by Captain Frelinghuysen, Lieu
tenants Parker and Heath, and Surgeons
Ward and Dougherty.
The troop as organized by Captain Flem-
ing equipped itself, and for three years was
Independent of the National Guard of the
state; for three years. however, 1t has been
in the guard. 1t is thoroughgoing mill
tary organization performing at all times
all the duties of cavalrymen. Though the
men are engaged in professional and COM
mercial life. as troopers they do their own
stable work, horse cleaning, guard duty,
and all the hard work pertaining to
trooper in service. In the Columbian pa
rade in New York the troop evoked the
most favorable comments. The comment
passed on the company at that time was
for precision and style in cavalry evolu-

entire parade"
