The Mexican war excited little interest and less
enthusiasm in Clarion county. T. S. McCalmont,
then a lawyer of Clarion, who was a West Point graduate, attempted to
raise a company, but failed. Colonel Joseph W. Coulter obtained
about fifteen signers to a volunteer paper; not sufficient to effect
an organization.
The following are all I have been able to discover
who went to the Mexican war from Clarion county: Joseph
Shaw, of Clarion; James Mooney, of Strattanville,
now of Clarion; ________ Rodebaugh, a boy drummer, of
Monroe township; ________ Burns, near Curllsville.
