HUSBAND NOTES:
In 1814 Colonel Dana's place of rendezvous for the soldiers who were to go to the war was at his house where the pine tree stood. After the draft was made the Company all marched to Colonel Danas with the drafted men, when the time came for the soldiers to start for the seat of War at Burlington. Orlando N Dana was elected First Lieutenant of the Second Company of Light Infantry in 1822. The Captain was Benjamin F Mower. In 1825 a Company was formed under the name of the Woodstock Artillery, the members of which met at Barker's Hotel to choose the officers one afternoon in late 1825. Orlando N Dana, then an officer in the light infantry was choosen Captain. In March 1826 uniforms were provided and a six pound cannon was furnished by the State. On 4 Jul 1827 a Declaration of Independence was held. The gaety and brilliancy of the occasion was enhanced by the presence of Captain O.N. Dana's Company of Artillery. After O.N. Dana had served three years as Captain he retired and Bushrod W. Rice was choosed to succeed him. The place of renezvous for the Company on Parade Day was Dana's Hall, afterwards known as Union Hall.
