expiration of service and the first discharges granted came to Sgt's
Kindall and Ingle and Corp. Lewis Ingle and Alonzo L. Marlin January
1878. Throughout this year the majority of the first to enlist were
discharged for expiration of term of service and many other for
permanent removal beyond the limits of the command. During this year
and 1879 the loss was met by many re-enlistments and new enlistments of
an excellent class of recruits. Many changes took place and promotions
were made. Before the summer encampment, Lt. Carson was lost to the
service on account of removal to Licking Co., Ohio, in the election
