The non-commissioned
officers of our company were elected. The election resulted as follows:
John D. McLin, First
Sergeant; A. B. McKnight, Second; R. R. Hancock, Third; and J. C. McAdoo,
Fourth. (About one year afterward Sam Walker was made First Sergeant.) W. W.
Harrison, X. A. Baxter, W. W. Hawkins and C. Dougherty were, I think, the
corporals.
