A Company Forming At Seneca

A company of volunteers is being organized at Seneca. And recruits from different parts of the County are being asked to join this company.

It would sound good to have a company of volunteers from old Nemaha. For the young men of the County, it is either join this company or go among strangers or be conscripted. Why not help make up a Nemaha County company?
