CHAPTER XX
COMPANY F, SIXTY-SEVENTH REGIMENT PENNSYLVANIA VOLUNTEERS
When Recruited – Familiar Names – Roll of Company
This company was recruited in Jefferson, Clarion, and Indiana counties by Samuel C. Arthur, with a recruiting station at Brookville, and Martin Flick, with a recruiting station at Rimersburg. The company was mustered in at Philadelphia December 19, 1861, by Lieutenant-Colonel Ruff. The first fight in which the company engaged was at Winchester, July 15, 1862, when a great many of the company were captured. Company F participated in the battle of Cedar Creek, made famous by “Sheridan’s ride.” The only reliable data that has been collected is embraced in the roll of this company. It had some exciting experiences, and participated in several brilliant exploits. It was mustered out of service at or near Washington July 14, 1865.
Among the better known of its members, the reader will recognize, the names of Martin Flick, once a justice of the peace at Edenburg; E.W. Haines, candidate for Legislature in 1882, and Levi Switzer, a fifer of some fame in the southern part of the county, who, it will be observed, was promoted to principal musician of the regiment.
General Harry White, ex-congressman of this district, and now president judge of Indiana county, was major of the Sixty-seventh.
