Tampa, Florida, where transports were in waiting. Twelve trains were loaded with troops, horses, baggage, etc. Before reaching Tampa they were ordered into camp 30 miles out, where they remained through the hot season. Typhoid fever broke out, and a large part of the troop was soon in the hospital. In September the troop was ordered to Huntsville, Ala., with Capt.

His brother, Fred C., sergeant in the same troop, escaped the fever which was so prevalent. Two members of this troop were sons of veterans who served under command of his father, Capt. Gilbert H. Bargar, in the Civil War. Mustered out Oct. 23, 1898. From the supplement to John Lee of Farmington, Conn., and His Descendants, pp. 145 and 149
