Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 34, Number 75, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 May 1902 — Youngest Man in the Company. [ARTICLE]

Youngest Man in the Company.

Comrade Charley Fox, the only veteran of the civil war in Company M. and in point of years far the oldest man in the company, is yet about the youngest in point of liveliness and energy, Therefore the following mention regarding him in Thursday evening’s Indianapolis News is entirely characteristic: “Although the majority of the boys were not altogether pleased with the prospect of the long tramp, there was one notable exception—Charles Fox, of Company M. Third Regiment. He had heard that he was to be left in camp on guard duty to-day, and had gone to his captain with pleadings that he be allowed to march to the city .” The News also has this paragraph : “One of the men of the company, Taylor McCoy, son of Col. T.' J. McCoy, left camp last night for Annapolis, where he w ill enter the military school. He has been fitting himself in the military school at Orchard Lake.”
