From the "History of the Eighty-Seventh Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers." (1903).
This company was recruited by Captain Buehler, William J Martin and James Adair at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, during the latter part of August 1861. Captain Buehler had lately returned from the army, where he commanded Company E in the 2d Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, in the three months' service. Many of Captain Buehler's men at once re-enlisted for three years. They resided in Gettysburg and vicinity. All the non-commissioned officers in the new company had been in the three months' service. The balance of the company was recruited in and around Gettysburg. On September 2nd, with 84 men, Captain Buehler came to York, via Hanover Junction, and in the afternoon marched to the Fair Grounds, where several days were spent and then they moved to Camp Scott, on the Public Common. William J. Martin was chosen 1st Lieutenant, and James Adair 2nd Lieutenant. On September 14th Captain Buehler was chosen Major of the Regiment, William J. Martin was made Captain, James Adair 1st Lieutenant, and Theodore Norris 2nd Lieutenant. The company was now armed, equipped and ready for duty. Captain Martin had considerable experience in military matters, and proved to be an excellent drill master, but a wife and several small children then at his Gettysburg home, needed his presence there, and on September 13th, 1862, he resigned. Lieutenant Adair was promoted Captain and was in command of Company F during the balance of the three years’ term of service. Lieutenant Baker was captured at Monocacy and held for several months a prisoner of war. Corporal Skelley who was engaged to be married to Jennie Wade, the only woman killed in the battle of Gettysburg, died of wounds received at Winchester, Virginia, on June 15th, 1863. Among the 27 survivors of the company are Captain Adair, now of New York, and Corporal William T. Ziegler, of Gettysburg, an ex-member of Pennsylvania Legislature.
