Colonel RICHARD VOSE - 1872—1884
Upon the retirement of Colonel Rockefeller, Lieutenant-Colonel Vose was elected Colonel (September 11th). Richard Vose was born in Whitesboro, Oneida County, NY, 2 Sep 1830. His father died when Richard was thirteen years old, leaving him not only dependent upon his own resources, but with a mother and two brothers and two sisters, to whose support he contributed for years. Compelled at this early age to work for his living he educated himself. With various business experiences, he established, in 1868, the firm of Vose, Dinsmore & Co., of which he was a member at the time of his election. Of ample means and not embarrassed for time he was in no way hampered in performing the duties required. It was simply a question — was he the man for the position? With the exception of Parmele his predecessors were well known in the regiment by service and promotion and were surrounded by those who were also. Colonel Parmele's staff was comprised of men who were old members.

During this administration an entire new field and staff came into office and as a rule were men who had no previous connection with the regiment, to whom it was not their Alma Mater. They were proud to hold office in it and without question tried to uphold its past glorious record, shared in the pride of it, and felt as much attachment as could be expected from a good step-father. Colonel Vose took command of a regiment thoroughly organized, of ten commands numerically about the average and standing high in the estimation of the public; a splendid foundation for the right man to build a strong regiment.
