Company M. W. N. G.
Leaves for Milwaukee with a Full Quota of Men

Over Three Thousand People Escort the Boys to the Depot

Thursday was beyond a shadow of a doubt one of the most exciting and
eventful days ever witnessed in Wisconsin. The departure of the troops
from the various cities occasioned an outpouring of people which has
never been equaled in this state. Factories were closed, stores were
abandoned, houses were locked up and everyone went to the trains to wish
the soldier boys God speed and safe return from their hazardous mission.
Mothers and sister, wives and sweethearts gathered at the station to say
farewell. In every city the crush was tremendous. The boys are swallowed
up in the crowds. They are overwhelmed with blessings and benedictions.
At 6:15 Thursday morning the water works whistle sounded the call to
arms, notifying Co. M. to assemble. From that time until they left for
Milwaukee all was excitement. At nine o'clock the boys left the armory
101 strong, headed by the city brass band and followed by 3,000 people
of the Northwestern depot, until the train came in bringing Co. I of
Marinette there was continuos cheering and firing of cannons. Capt. Lee
did not receive instructions until late Wednesday afternoon to enlist
more then sixty-eight men, but in three hours after the telegram was
received he had his full quota of 101 men. Then he had his pick for many
more had asked to enlist. Preference was given to single men, and only a
few married men were taken. Especial praise should be given to Joseph
Pecor and his wife of the Westward. They have a family of ten grown sons
and Co. m. took five of them. The last to enlist was a farm boy from
Pensaukee. He was six feet four inches tall. When the train pulled out
relatives and friends were bountiful with tear stained faces. The public
and catholic schools suspended and almost all the business houses in the
city were closed until 11 o'clock.
