      CHAPTER I

      Company E, Second Battalion, 37th U.S. Engi-
      neers, was organized at Port Myer, Va., April 4,
      1918, under the command of Capt. J. T. Kelly, Jr.
      The first morning report on April 5 showed an
      enrolment on the previous day of one man, Pvt.
      H. E. Kane. From that time forward, the Com-
      pany grew rapidly by the addition of casuals and
      transfers. First Lieut. F. J. G. Reuter was as-
      signed to the Company at the time of its formation,
      having been transferred from Company C ; and on
      April 6, First Lieut. John S. Curley joined the
      organization, transferred from Company A. There
      was an enrolment of thirty-nine men at the time.
      On April 9, Second Lieut. George J. Kollock and
      Second Lieut. W. F. Daly were assigned to the
      Company; and on April 15, at which time the or-
      ganization had grown to 179 men, First Lieut. F. G.
      Beckman joined it.

      p. 126:

      First Lieut. J. Stanton Curley was born at
      Troy, N.Y., in 1892. He received his preliminary
      education there and was graduated from the Troy
      High School. He then entered the Rensselaer
      Polytechnic Institute and graduated in 1914 with
      the degree of E.E. His engineering career began
      in the services of the General Electric Company
      as electrical engineer. When the Mexican border
      trouble broke out, he volunteered with the 22d En-
      gineers of the New York National Guard and spent
      nine months in the service. He then re-entered the
      employ of the General Electric Company and re-
      mained with them until September 1, 1917, when he
      entered the second Officers Training School at the
      American University at Washington, D.C. He re-
      ceived his commission in November and was as-
      signed to Washington Barracks with the First Pro-
      visional Regiment of Engineers. In January of
      1918 he was assigned to the 37th Engineers at Fort
      Myer. Lieutenant Curley is an associate member
      of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers.

      An index to 2,712 marriage notices covering 5,424 names that were published in ten different Lansingburgh, New York newspapers from 1787 to 1895 was created by staff at the Troy Public Library in 1938 through 1939. A one volume book of these marriage records is in the Troy Room at the Troy Library. The Troy Irish Genealogy Society was allowed to scan this book so the records could be made available on-line for genealogy researchers. A two volume set of death records from the same ten newspapers and for the same time period was also indexed.
      The ten different Lansingburgh newspapers were:
      American Spy
      Federal Herald
