PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD FRIDAY EVENING. HARRE3BURG TELEGHAPH APRIL 24,1914. PENNSYLVANIA IN FIRST MEXICAN WAR Commonwealth Sent More Than 2,000 Troops; Quota Now Ten Times That Number In the event of war with Mexico, Pennsylvania's quota, under the first call for 250,000 volunteer troops would bo 21,538 —nearly 20,000 more than was sent to the invasion of the Southern Republican from the Key stone Commonwealth in 1846. Volume ! 10 of the Pennsylvania Archives, sixth series, contains the names of 2,030 vol unteers. This is not complete, but it is; approximate. The State gave a good account of itself in that struggle, and there are a few survivors still residents of this Commonwealth. One of these sur vivors, Sylvester Meyers, was married only two years ago. Captain Francis J. Keft'ers was pres ident of the Mexican War Association, of Philadelphia, for many years. At the beginning of the present year there were 1,142 Mexican War pen sioners who saw service and 6,126 widows. There lias been paid out on account of the Mexican War to date $47.232,572.48 in pensions. The Pennsylvania troops who left home sixty-eight years ago had no op portunity to become acquainted with travel de luxe. They would have re garded a train of cattle cars as a lux ury. and as for present up-to-date khaki uniforms, looking to the com fort of the soldier in warm weather, they had not been invented. Most of the troops were ordered to Pittsburgh, where they were embarked on all sorts of watercraft from stern-wheel steam boats to Hats, and taken down tho Ohio and Mississippi rivers to Camp Jackson, New Orleans. From there they were transported to Tamplco by ( sailing vessels, and not a particularly i pleasant feature of the voyage was a I sale encountered as they reached the j .Mexican coast, a gale which drove the | (transports to sea, where they rolled in . tho Gulf of Mexico for several days. : Officers in the Service With the two regiments of Pennsyl vania troops were 104 officers, includ ing Colonel John W. Geary, who wan wounded at Chapultapec, but who lived to command a brigade at Gettys burg in the Civil War. Colonel Geary was one of Buchanan's appointees as Governor of Kansas during the bor der troubles. A roster of the volunteer officer# from Pennsylvania in the Mexican War follows: First Regiment Colonel —Francis M. Wyncoop. Lieutenant-Colonel Samuel W. Black. Major—Francis L. Bowman. Surgeon—John C. Reynolds. Assistant Surgeon Thomas C. Bunting. Adjutant—Alexander Brown. Captains—John Bennett, Frederick W. Binder, William A. Charleton. Ed mund L. Dana, James O'H. Denny.

I i Skelly, Stewart Speers, Jacob F. Sper ry, A. S. Tourrison, David J. Unger. General Robert Patterson, of Penn sylvania, was the senior major general of volunteers in this war. He was commended for gallantry and for mili tary strategy. He was also a major general at the outbreak of the Civil War, but was so strongly censured after first Manassas (Bull Run) that his usefulness was destroyed. It was charged that If he had been more active he coula have prevented the junction Johnstown's army with the Confederates at the critical period of the battle. Gave Country Two Presidents The last war with Mexico gave to the country two Presidents—General Zachary Taylor and General Franklin Pierce although it cannot be said of the latter that he made his reputation in the field. He was nominated, how ever, as a matter of expediency against General Wlnfield Scott, whom the Whigs selected as their standard bearer In 1852. Captain Charles P. Meek, of this city, has an interesting souvenir of the ! war with Mexico in the form of a tliary kept by his father, the lato Ephralin G. H. Meek, who enlisted at Carlisle barracks —now the Indian School —and served throughout the war period as a sergeant. It gives the , movements of Sergeant Meck's com- I pany from the day it left until the day it returned and was mustered out ' of the service. , WEDDING AT MECHANICSBURG Special to The Telegraph Mechanlcsbug, Pa., April 24.
