OBJE:_META	<metadataxml><content><line><p>MILITIA AND RIFLE COMPANIES were organized after the war of 1812, and kept up for many years. In what was originally North Beaver township, four militia companies (one battalion) were organized, and held their annual reviews usually at Mount Jackson, although occasionally going to Darlington, Beaver county here they reviewed with another battalion, the two forming a regiment. These companies were known as &quot;cornstalk militia,&quot; from the fact that they drilled with cornstalks and sticks.</p><p>There were also four companies of volunteer riflemen--one from Edenburg, one from Newburg, one from Mount Jackson and one from &quot;Coontown,&quot; or Newport. These companies held their musters at Mount Jackson, and such occasions were grand gala days for the boys. The Mount Jackson company was called the &quot;Jackson Guards,&quot; and had a uniform consisting of citizen&#39;s blue coat, white pants, red sash, and white feather with red top, in the hat. The other rifle companies were similarly uniformed. One of them was the &quot;Marion Guards;&quot; another, commanded by Captain Archibald Reed, and a third commanded by Captain Kirk. The volunteer companies were named, and the militia companies numbered. The latter began training about 1837-38.</p><p>WAR OF THE REBELLION.--North Beaver furnished a large number of men for different organizations during the rebellion. Among them was a company of sixty men, who enlisted for &quot;three years or during the war,&quot; which was afterwards known as Battery B, of the First Pennsylvania Artillery, (43d Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers).</p></line></content></metadataxml>
