Chapter L: R. KING, Merchant, enlisted November 9th, 1851. At the time of the

organization of the Company, Mr. King was elected fourth Sergeant, and by promotion filled each office up to first Lieutenant, and was in command of the Company for some time. Lieutenant King, by his kind and pleasing way, and the interest he ever manifested in the welfare of the Company, commanded the respect and admiration of every man who served under him. He held the commission of first Lieutenant from May 28th, 1856, to August 25th, 1862. Upon his resignation being accepted, he was voted an honorary membership for life. He is one of the enterprising firm of Treman, King & Co., large manufacturers. We believe that Mr. King can look back upon the years spent in the DeWitt Guard as not altogether unprofitable.

W. B. HATFIELD, Clerk, enlisted November 15th, 1851. Mr. Hatfield was a good soldier; was in the employ of L. H. Culver, Esq.; retained his connection with the Company and his employer until his removal to the West.

SPENCE SPENCER, Book Merchant, enlisted November 15th, 1851. Retained his membership but a short time, but with the liberality which was always a prominent characteristic of Mr. Spencer, he donated to the Company a complete uniform, which is the first recorded gift made to the DeWitt Guard. He is still a citizen of Ithaca, and has of late attached no small degree of honor to his name by publishing the book entitled, "The Scenery of Ithaca."
