82 Nortu Caroiina Troops, 1861-’65. er’s Run 5 February, 1865, and Robert W. Stinson also killed at Petersburg. Company H—The promotion of Captain N. McK. Mc- Neill to Major, led to the advance of Lieutenant George Wil- cox to a Captaincy, serving until the close. Charles C. Gold- ston, First Lieutenant, having resigned, J. A. Blue suc- ceeded him and fell at the Wilderness, being succeeded by Lieutenant N. A. McNeill, who also shared the fortunes of the company to the end. John N. MeNeill became Second Lieutenant 3 September, 1863. Company I—Captain Owen Holmes commanded the com- pany from beginning to the end—was in nearly every en- gagement, with never a wound, if memory is not at fault. First Lieutenant O. P. White has (I think) the same unusual record. John C. Wright, Second Lieutenant, was succeeded by Thomas Owens. John D. Herring, Minson McLamb and Isaiah Herring were also Second ‘Lieutenants. Company K—Captain A. T. Bost (if memory be not at fault) fell at Reams Station, and was succeeded by his brother, R. A. Bost, who, as Captain, receiving a severe face wound, was disabled thereby. No steadier men ever faced a firing line than these two. First Lieutenant A. Routh was mortally wounded while charging a battery at Spottsylvania 10 May, 1864. Second Lieutenant M. N. Smyer was mor- tally wounded at Reams Station 25 August, 1864. Lieuten- ants J. M. Hoover and Sidney Shuford were then in com- mand until the close. In commenting on certain names here mentioned, it will be borne in mind that by reason of longer acquaintance or closer intimacy, the writer knew more of certain ones than of oth- ers. Some company officers were appointed but a short time before the writer was called away from the regiment, and whom he knew only by name. No invidious discrimination is intended, for it is distinetly remembered that no officer of the Forty-sixth was ever charged with doing less than his full duty. J. M. Wapp11.
