At the recent military
ball and social, the roll of the first company of the Richmond Rifle Corps
of Volunteers was read by Colour-Sergeant Bennett. Only one of the
original members answered his name, Colonel Guest, though several others
were present who joined a year later. The establishment of the Company was
85, while there were 74 on the roll. The company was formed in August,
1869, and we give the names of those on the roll.
