Utica Sentinel Sept 3 1898 Sergeant John DeKay of Co.K, Thirty-fourth Michigan, who has been here for the past six weeks on recruiting duty, has received orders to report at Middletown, Pa, and left last Friday with eighteen recruits. They are all young men of this city and vicinity. They are Wm. H. Trombley, E. R. Lang, N. M. Lenz, W.F. Neff, Geo. Ellis, Frank Dubay, Walter Peltier, John W. Lennebacker, A.H. Ebert, William Frederick, Herbert Van Slambrook, Fred Miller, F.E. Merrill, A.B. Morton, Ed Mallast, Garfield Scramlin, and Albert Tanner. The boys are in high glee over the prospects of seeing service. They will go in charge of Capt. Wheeler of Co. L and be re-inforced in Detroit by some eighty more men picked up in various parts of the state, all of whom expect to join the 34th. Just what duty the regiment will be assigned to is not definitely known -- Mt. Clemens Press.
Thanks Ann for posting this. I am still looking for my husband's grandfather Robert Dubey, Dubay, Dube' that married Frances Lockwood after summer 1880 and before 1882.
