Lieutenant Hazen is not only a fine soldier, and a good and respected officer, but as a citizen and a business man, he has very few superiors. The firm of Stowell & Hazen is known throughout the county, and they enjoy the confidence of as large a class of customers, as any House in Western New York. They conform to a strict degree of honesty in small as well as large transactions, and by this means have built up a reputation second to none in the State.
EDWARD D. NORTON, Printer, enlisted June 17, 1858. His qualifications as a soldier, were sufficiently good to entitle him to fill the posts of Corporal and Sergeant in a worthy and creditable manner. He was employed for many years in the _Ithaca Journal_ office, but finally removed to the city of Rochester, where he now resides.
WILLIAM BYINGTON, Merchant, enlisted June 21st, 1858. Mr. Byington served his full time, and was honorably discharged. He was a good soldier, an equally good Corporal, and a better Sergeant. At the time the Company were called into the United States service, it was impossible for Sergeant Byington to accompany them; Lieut. Kenney, his partner, being an officer in the Company, it was desirable to have him, and of course both could not leave; but the Sergeant, at considerable expense, furnished a satisfactory substitute. He was never behind his comrades in contributing in any way that would be for the general good of the institution. He is one of the enterprising merchants of this place, and all acquainted with him can testify to his equally good qualifications as a citizen, that we have as a soldier.
WILLIAM L. MINTURN, Mason, enlisted June 17th, 1858. Was a faithful and attentive soldier, served his full time and received an honorable discharge. There is no better man in the community than Mr. Minturn. As for his reputation as a Master Mechanic, we refer the reader to the many buildings erected under his supervision in our village.
SILAS R. ZIMMER, Clerk, enlisted July, 20th, 1858. Mr. Zimmer served a number of years with the Company to the most perfect satisfaction of both officers and men. He was one of the employees of that prince of merchants, L. H. Culver, Esq.
A. BRUM, Clothing Merchant, enlisted July 27th, 1858. Was connected with the Company but a short time. Removed, we believe, to the city of New York.
