P. Cole, Oscar Parish and Jno. Sydnor acted as lieutenants. In 1857 the company ran down. Crawford had resigned and political and business troubles were rampant. The writer has no record who com- manded the company that year. The City Guard, a company organized by a Tremont Street man, Dr. J- L. McKeen, in 1852, secured a large member- ship. This company had plenty of men, but little in the way of equipment, the reverse of the Artillery Company. Again a fusion was decided upon, and the companie...s merged late in 1857 or early in 1858. The Artillery Com- pany now owned six guns, which were housed in a rented hall located on Postoffice Street, between 24th and 25th, a one-story structure with a heavy plank floor. The six guns were as follows : The two old iron 4-pounders taken from the Cayuga in 1836, and known as the "Twin Sisters" (which they were not) ; the two iron six-pounders acquired by purchase from the United States after the Fusileers and Artillery Company merged; and finally two brass six-pounders, a donation recently obtained from the State of Texas.
