The Company was reviewed and inspected by Colonels H. D. Barto and K. S. Van Voorhees, at Trumansburg, Oct. 19th, 1865. January 23d, attended the funeral of Chief-Engineer Joseph Sidney, U. S. N., who died while in the service of his country.
We now come in the history of the Company to the dedication of the new Armory and Drill-Room, which are located in the Cornell Library building, and which were dedicated by one of the finest entertainments ever given in Ithaca, February 10th, 1866, at which time the Company were assisted by Miss Louise St. John, Mrs. J. S. Granger, Miss A. McCormick, Mrs. Joseph Esty, Jr., and Miss Frankie Atwater; also Gen. H. A. Dowe, Gen. William Glenny, Col. Charles F. Blood, Col. K. S. Van Voorhees, Capt. B. R. Williams, Quar. Mas. J. C. Heath, Hon. B. G. Ferris, Hon. James B. Taylor, F. M. Finch, Esq., F. K. Andrus, Esq., Charles Curtis, Esq., Edward Hall, Esq., Thomas Crane, Esq., Edward Moore, Esq., L. V. B. Maurice, Esq., Elijah Cornell, Esq., and Master Fred. Summers.
The entertainment was liberally patronized by the citizens of Ithaca, enabling the Company to cancel a large proportion of the indebtedness incurred in furnishing their Armory. The expenditures of the Company in this direction, and expense attending their exhibition, was six hundred and twenty-eight dollars and fifty-four cents.
The present indebtedness of the Company is less than two hundred dollars, which amount they hope to cancel entirely by the profits on the sales of this History.
