Note: Included is a partial list of Continentals--including solely those who were born within New York State. For a complete list, see the book: "A Pictorial History-Second Looks of Buffalo and Erie County," by Scott Eberle and Jos. Grande. "Area leaders organized the 'Union Continentals,' mostly retired militia officers too old to bear arms. Resplendent in elegant uniforms, they escorted departing troops to the railroad stations, provided honor guards at funerals, and marched in Independence Day parades." Muster Roll of the Union Continentals of Buffalo, New York Actually Present and On Duty As a Guard of Honor Over the Remains of President Lincoln At St. James Hall, April 17-1865. "The Lincoln funeral Cortege followed the same route returning his body for burial in Springfield, Illinois, as he had taken to his inauguration some four years before. Mayor Wm. Fargo chaired the local arrangements." RANK / NAME / PLACE of BIRTH / DATE of BIRTH / FIRST RESIDENCE in BUFFALO Capt. Nathan K. HALL, Skaneateles Mar 28-1810 May 1-1830 3rd Lieut. Charles K.
