Col. A. J. Frick

     Col. Frick entered the army for the Union, on the 18th of Sep-
tember, 1861, as captain of infantry in the Eighty-fourth regiment
Pennsylvania volunteers attached to the Third army corps.  Emulat-
ing the noble example of his brother, Doctor Clarence H. Frick,
who led the Columbia Guards through the storms of battle in the
conquest of Mexico, Col. A. J. Frick led his gallant command in
defense of our national heritage - the old flag, the constitution, and
the union.  He served as captain until October, 1852, participating 
in the battles of Winchester, Port Republic and second Bull Run.
In 1863 he was lieutenant colonel, in the Forty-first regiment of
Pennsylvania, during Gen. Lee's invasion of the north.  Col. Frick
made for himself an honorable record, as a soldier and as an officer.
 He is now deputy collector of internal revenue for the Twelfth dis-
trict of Pennsylvania; and who, in the distribution of public favors,
so well deserve recognition as the soldiers of the Union.

     From the record, I extract the following items.  The Eighty-
fourth regiment in the battle of Winchester, lost in killed and wound-
ed, one third of its men.  Company D, commanded by Capt. A. J.
Frick, lost, killed W. R. Fowler; wound H. Funk, J. M. Price,
C. Mummy, T. C. Fowler, C. D. Burns, M Fitzhams, G. Holcomb,
John Prosser, William Prosser, J. C. Teeter, and J. L. Wheeler.
The report adds that Capt. Frick was highly spoken of for the gal-
lantry de displayed under the terrible fire of the enemy.

     "Winchester" was inscribed on their banner.
