Muster Roll Found

The Marietta Daily Leader, December 23, 1897

Muster Roll Found Containing Names of Nathaniel F. Bishop's Company of Volunteers.

The finding of an old muster roll by Mr. D. S. Nye recalls the organization of a company of volunteers in Marietta which has probably been forgotten by many of the men even whose name appear upon the list.  The Roster of Ohio Soldiers contains no reference whatever to the organization of this company, which was mustered in on July 5, 1862, and mustered out September 22d, 1862, by Colonel William A. Whittlesey.
