Page 8, Newberry Observer 9/9/1904 COMPANY ‘C’ 3rd REGIMENT, first met at Frog Level (Prosperity) on the field belonging to George Brown. In 1905 that area was practically in the center of town. Old Uncle John Adam Bedenbaugh blew the fife. Martin Harris beat the kettle drum. Drayton Kinard beat the bass drum. When everything was ready the musicians started marching around in a circle. They struck up the old tune ‘Mexico’: ‘Where coffee grown in the jaybird’s back, the rivers flow with brandy, all the boys are washed in gold and the girls are as sweet as candy’. This was more than the fighting blood of Frog Level could stand. The boys, young and old practically tumbled over each other to join ranks. The company was raised in a few minutes. Officers were elected and everything was made ready to commence drilling. Next Saturday the company met at the same place to have their measurements taken for uniforms and to drill. In a short time the uniforms came cut ready for making - the ladies volunteering to make them. After all had got their uniforms made, the company met regularly once a week at Frog Level for drill. At one drill the large William goat belonging to John Birge followed the company out on the parade grounds. The company stopped in front of the goat with their back to it marking time. The goat gave the man in front of his face a butt and sent him forward on the front rank man with a yell that destroyed all order. The company left home the day Fort Sumter fell into the hands of the Confederates. Some old men gave advice that day: William Reagin said "Boys, take care of yourselves, for two will die from disease to one that falls from the bullet’. Uncle Allen Lester’s advise was:’ Go fight boys. Meet them half way. Don’t let them come to your home to fight you.’ John Birge’s advise was: ‘Boys, live like Christians but fight like devils.’ After the boys had gone to war the old men left behind got to fighting among themselves. They were regular scratch and bite games. One had a glass eye and a wig. In a fight his eye was scratched out, his wig removed and when the fight was being broken up a hand was in his mouth trying to see if there were any teeth to pull. Page 3, Newberry Observer 8/8/1905; In the winter of 1861 the first consignment of clothing was sent from Newberry to the 3rd Regt. then in Northern VA.
