Editor Indiana County Gazette.

MY DEAR SIR — Having recently enjoyed reading the account of the recent reunion of the soldiers of Indiana county, as published in your wide-awake and ably-conducted journal, but not seeing any mention of Company F, Seventy-fourth P.V. Infantry, a company that was recruited in your town in six days of March, 1865, and which was mustered out of the service at Clarksburg, West Virginia, on August 29, 1865. When this company left Indiana for the seat of war its ranks contained 111 men, and a finer looking body of soldiers never went forth from any county to defend the old flag. Having the muster out roll of this company at hand, I have concluded to give it to you for publication, believing that there are still many of the old boys residing in loyal old Indiana county.

Here it is:

Captain – John Kinter.

Buterbaugh, Lewis Buterbaugh, Solomon Buterbaugh, James Baker, Thomas Berringer, John L. Berringer, David H. Brady, Samuel Clawson, William Craig, Henry Craig, William A. Connor, William Dearmin, Samuel Donahey, George Donahey, Samuel M. Fails, William Faith, John Faith, John W. Findley, Samuel Gibson, Robert Galbreth, Robert C. Hopkins, Albert Howe, Andrew Harmon, George W. Hanna, Joseph Johnston, Archibald Kinter, John Lowman, Thomas C. Loughry, John R. Lightcap, Samuel Munshower, Harrison Munshower, Henry M. Myers, David Myers, Isaac K. Myers, John McQuown, Thomas H. McQuown, William McQuown, Madison McLaughlin, Wesley McLaughlin, John McCunn, James McLeister, Robert C. McGaughey, John McCoy, Alex.

Short, John Sheiffer, Hiram Stuchul, Henry Weiss.

Two members of this company died in the service, two deserted and 15 were discharged on account of sickness. When the company entered the service the commissioned officers were as follows: G.A. McLain, captain; John Kinter, first lieutenant, and John McWilliams, second lieutenant. Captain McLain, on account of order 213, W.D, A.G.C., dated May 8, 1865, left the company and returned to his home in Indian.

Death of David McQuown

David McQuown, and old and highly respected citizen of this place, died at his residence on Race Street, at seven o’clock Tuesday evening of heart disease.   For years, Mr. McQuown had been in poor health and upon several occasions it was thought he would die.  But being possessed naturally of a rugged constitution and an indomitable will, he managed to pull through all right.  About three weeks ago, the old gentleman took sick and although all that loving hands and medical skill could do was done to prolong his life, yet they were of no avail, and at the hour above named the tired spirit passed away.

David McQuown was born at Derry township, Westmoreland County, March 9, 1806, and was in the eighty-fifth year of his age.  In 1824 he left Westmoreland County and five years later he was united in marriage to Isabella Boreland, daughter of William Boreland.  They were married by Rev. Blair of Indiana, PA.   They moved to Crooked Creek, near where Kintersburg now stands, built a log cabin, and cleared a large farm.  He remained there for a period of twenty eight years, and moved with his family to Jefferson County, locating permanently in Punxutawneyabout twenty one years ago, his wife dying in this place about two years later.

He was the father of eleven children, ten of whom are living, Mrs. Christina Clawson, this place; Mrs. Margaret Bowerstock of Frostburg; Mrs. Mary Clawson, Bell’s Mills; Mrs. Agnes Ruth, Nebraska; Eliza Helman, Blairsville; John,  James and Samuel, of this place; A.B. killed in the Battle of Fair Oak;  William L. of Nebraska and Miss Sarah Belle McQuown of this place with whom the old gentleman made his home.  About sixty years ago Mr. McQuown identified himself with the Presbyterian Church, remaining a consistant member of that body until his removal to Punxsutawney, when he united with the C.P. Church, with which he remained ever since.

The remains were interred in the Covode Cemetery on last Thursday.
