Recruited – Mustered – Service – Familiar Names – Roll of Company
THIS is another noble company, composed of Clarion county’s gallant sons, that can be given only a short sketch at the writer’s hands. It deserves a volume. It was mustered into service on the 12th of October, 1861, at Kittanning. This company was organized at West Freedom, Clarion county, Pa. It left that place August 19, 1861, and proceeded to Pittsburgh, arriving there on the 21st of the month; then it came back as far as Kittanning, and was there mustered into the service as Company E, of Colonel Sirwell’s Seventy-eighth Regiment. With the Army of the Cumberland it shared in the struggles and victories of our troops, and was mustered out of service November 4, 1864, at Kittanning, Pa.
