WAR RECORD
AUSTERLITZ, COLUMBIA COUNTY,
NEW YORK
By Capt.
Franklin Ellis104
1878
The town of
Austerlitz has always been prompt to respond to every call of patriotism, and
her citizens have marched forth to battle for independence, for national honor,
and for the preservation of natural rights, and the integrity of the union of
the States. Among the early patriots whose names have been handed down to
us as pensioners in the year 1840, we find the names of Jacob Bice, Nathan
Lester, John Harmon, Jonathan Benton, James Platt, Joseph Foot, Story Gott, and
Seth Jennings.
In the war
for the suppression of the Rebellion, this town poured forth its treasure of men
and money, and performed its full share of the work which cost so great a price.
