From the "History of the Eighty-Seventh Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers." (1903).
This company was originally the "Ellsworth Zouaves," a local military organization named in honor of that brave but ill-fated officer who gave his life to his country at the opening of the Civil War. The company was organized May 10th, 1861, and met regularly for practice in the old Vigilant Engine house which stood on the site of the Western National Bank, of York. The officers chosen were James A. Stahle as Captain; Dr. Jacob Hay as 1st Lieutenant; John F. Spangler as Second Lieutenant and George J. Chalfant as 1st Sergeant. The company was composed of young men nearly all of whom were under age. They drilled almost every evening in an up-stairs room of the Vigilant engine house or on the common to the rear of the Hotter House. The first uniform was made of blue worsted goods and was close fitting. Captain Stahle made a diligent study of tactics and soon had his company quite proficient in the manual of arms. He made a specialty of the Zouave drill. On July 4th, 1861, a number of ladies of York presented the Zouaves with a beautiful flag. Rev. James A. Brown, afterward chaplain of the 87th Regiment, made the presentation speech. The flag was received on the part of the company by Hon. John Gibson. It was made of blue silk, ornamented with heavy straw-colored fringe. It has been kept since the Civil War, by members of the company, and at the time of this writing (1903), is in the possession of Captain John Fahs. The Freystown band was attached to this company, on July 8th. It subsequently became the regimental band until August 1862. When arrangements had been completed to organize a new regiment, with George Hay as Colonel, the Zouaves immediately offered their services. On August 24th, 1861, almost the entire company and a number of recruits were mustered into the United States service by Lieutenant Tyrrell, of the Regular Army. This ceremony took place on Newberry street in front of the warehouse of Lewis Carl. The Zouaves then became Company A of the 87th Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers. The company was commanded by Captain Stahle until January 1st, 1863, when he was promoted to Major of the Regiment. Lieutenant Hay resigned in November 1861, and was succeeded by John Fahs, who was promoted to Captain on January 1st, 1863, and commanded Company A in all the engagements in which the regiment participated until June 23rd, 1864, when he was taken prisoner on the skirmish line before Petersburg, Virginia. 1st Lieutenant John F. Spangler, upon whom the command of the company now devolved, was killed at Monocacy on July 9th, 1864. Company A did not now have a commissioned officer and Captain James Adair of Company F was placed in charge of it. George J. Chalfant, who entered the company on August 23rd, 1862, became Captain of the company in the battalion.
