McMILLAN, 84, ONLY LOCAL SURVIVOR OF 126TH REGIMENT

Sixty six years ago today, on August 22, 1862, the 126th, New York Volunteer Regiment was mustered into the United States service at Camp Swift, which was situated at the corner of Hamilton street and White Springs road in the southwestern outskirts of the then village of Geneva.

Today when the 66th anniversary of that event was celebrated at the Canandaigua Hotel, Horton McMillan, 84 years old, was the only surviving member of the regiment to attend from Canandaigua. Mr. McMillan came in from his farm north of this city on the Bloomfield road. The 126th Regiment was one of the Regiments raised in response to the call of President Lincoln, on July 1, 1862, for 30, 000 more men, and was recruited in the counties of Ontario, Seneca, and Yates. Elikim Sherrill of Geneva became the, before a month had expired since colonel of the regiment, and James lieutenant colonel. The strength of the regiment when it was mustered in was 39 officers and 956 enlisted men.

On August 26, 1862, four days after it was mustered into the United States, its muster the regiment was surrendered and paroled together with 11, 000 other Union troops. This surrender was in no way attributable to the fault of the regiment, but rather to the fault of the weak States service, the regiment marched down through the streets of Geneva to the boat landing and embarked on the old Elmira for Watkins, the first stage of its journey to the front. Reaching Baltimore the following day, it was assigned for duty at Harper's Ferry.

During the siege of Harper's Ferry, before a month had expired since and ill advised action of the commanding officers of the army. After being sent to Camp Douglas at Chicago to spend its parole, the regiment was exchanged and at once ordered to the defense of Washington at Arlington Heights. From this time on the regiment participated in many of the most bitter battles of the Civil War. During its period of service the regiment lost 17 officers and 259 men, including Colonel Sherrill.
