show. The overcoat had q cape and
was very warm and comfortable
About the time Of the Spanish War
a fatigue tunic was substituted for
the full dress coat and we used them
throughout the war The little fatigue
cap (kepD was also replaced by the
campaign hat.
In 1892 1t Col. G. A. Pealre, who
had succeeded to the command Of the
End battalion, resigned and apparent
ly the battalion ceased to exist as a
separate organization. The COM
panies including Co. B were trans
ferred to and became the 2nd Bat
TALON of the 1st Regiment, MING.
This regiment was made up of COM
panies from rural Maryland Major
Little was the new battalion COM
mander and Col. William p Lane was
the regimental commander. Soon after
this transfer the company was called
out for the first time to do police duty
in connection with the coal strike in
the Georges Greek region in the sum-
mer Of 1898. An attack of typhoid
fever kept me from going with it.
The last encampment which the COM
pany attended was at Frederick, Md,
in 1896. In 1897, for lack of interest
the old company was disbanded, and
this was unfortunate as it prevented
the county from having an organi-
cation in the Spanish War although q
body of citizens offered its services
it was not accepted. Only the eight
organized companies were accepted
for service.
In July 1898, Capt. Lowndes of
Company c was sent to Oakland on
a recruiting expedition and as a re-
suit, according to recent issue of the
Glades Star, the following named men
from the County joined the regiment:
Corp. Ray c. Friend, Privates Ward
Friend, Walter Maybe, Willis Hetrick,
John Collins, Samuel Flowers, George
Butcher, Charles Brown, Bert Rabcck,
Peter Redline, Charles T. Hoff, Simon
Myers, Charles w. Friend and lad
by the name of Sanner, who served
as mail clerk for the regiment AT the
present time Myers and Sanner are
the only two of whom | have a def
mite recollection. As a result of the
second call for more volunteers d bat
TALON Of the Fourth Regiment from
Baltimore was added to the FIRST
making the latter a regiment Of
twelve companies with 100 men to
company. Altogether there were about
1900 men in the regiment.
At the outbreak Of the Spanish
American War we were ordered into
camp al Pimico and were there in
ducted into active service. In May,
1898, the regiment was ordered to
Fort Monroe to do garrison duty, re
lieving the Regulars stationed there
for duty in Cuba. In July orders were
issued for Us to prepare for active
service in the tropics but soon there
after the armistice was signed. In
the latter part OF September the
regiment was ordered to old Camp

Recollection of
Old Combany B

Note: The following article was pre-
pared by Charles H. Shaffer, Wash
ington, d. c., enc Of the few living
members Of the company, who is a
former Garrett county resident
In order to show tine uniform Of the
guard, an enlargement Of a tiutype
of Mr.. Shaffor was taken while he
was at the Loroly encampmcnt i'm
1890.
No history Of Oakland would be
complete without mention Of Com
pany b, 2nd Battalion. MING. This
company was organized 1S79-1SSO, by
its first captain, f. II. Wardwell, as
sisted by members of a military COM
pany at Cumberland known then as
the "Voltigeurs,' which in English
means Riflemen. At that time the
state had four separate battalions and
the Fifth Regiment in Baltimore,
later the 4th Battalion in Baltimore
was expanded into the Fourth Regi-
ment. The 2nd Battalion was COM
posed Of two companies from Cumber-
pahy from Oakland. Unfortunately,
the early records Of this company
such as muster and pay rolls, were
stored in Brigade Headquarters in
Baltimore and went up in smoke in
the great fire of 1904. However, we
do know that it had four different
captains i. e. Wardwell, Peter A.
Chisholm, James Newman and Robert
ToWnshend. The lieutenants were r.
s. Jamison, John F. White, d. NJ.
Mason and Edward Spedden. In 1886
when f. Il. Wardwell became 1t
Col. and commander Of the Battalion,
Dr.. f. II. Bartlett became Major and
Surgeon and r. T. Browning was made
Captain and Inspector Of Target
Practice. Unfortunately the early
muster rolls are gone but old-timers
will recall the names of Browning,
Mason, Friend, Chisholm, etc, among
the lot.
In getting together a company of
that kind and keep it a going concern
must have required high order OF
ability on the part Of the officers.
Part Of the men lived in the country
and there were no good roads or cars
in those days. However, there were
two incentives, target shooting and
summer encampments.
The company was armed with the
standard Army 45 caliber Springfield
Rifle, single shot, using a bullet Of
500 grains Of lead propelled by 80
grains of black powder. 1t was fairly
accurate up to a thousand yards, but
had a kick like mule. Most Of the
original members were experts with
the old long hunting rifle so that
Captain Waldwell was able to put in
the field rifle team called the Hay
makers" that acquired wide repu-
tation for skill on the rifle range. /
