123rd New York Volunteer Infantry

This Company was raised in Cambridge and the south half of Easton. These two towns sent many of her patriotic sons to the defense of the government - 84 men going in the 123rd Regiment, about 27 from Easton, and the balance from Cambridge.

At a special meeting held March 26, 1864, a bounty of $350 was authorized to be paid each volunteer by the Supervisor. At a special meeting held June 25, 1864, John L. Huntt, John H. Balch and Thomas Shiland were appointed a committee to fill the quota and pay bounties not exceeding $450 each volunteer. This was increased to $500 in August. A suitable monument has been erected in Woodland Cemetery, Cambridge, in memory of those of her sons who fell in the defense of their country.
