GRASS VALLEY UNION FEBRUARY 10, 11, 15, 1865 103
The election resulted as follows: Captain, J. J. Doty; First Lieutenant, J. M. Days; Second Lieutenant,
C. E. Miller; Junior Second Lieutenant, John Rodda; S. W. Appleton, Clerk; E. W. Nash, Treasurer. The
election passed off with the best of feelings on all sides, and the boys had “a good time” after the transaction of
business. The company has a muster roll of nearly sixty active members and it is to be hoped that every loyal
citizen will give it his countenance and support; for it is one of the established institutions of our town, despite
the bitter opposition heretofore exhibited toward its success.
