The company had eight commissioned officers during the war, viz.: A. W. Drips, F. M. Kelsey, A. Alexander, Asher Riley, Benjamin Darling, John H. Green, Leonard Martin and Charles Lyman.
At our regimental reunion in Dubuque, Iowa, in June, 1901, there were 81 present. Capt. J. W. Niles of Sterling, Ill., and W. M. Trout of Maquoketa, Iowa, were re-elected president and secretary, respectively. It was left with these officers to name the place and dates for holding the next reunion

[And this note was also included:]
Dear Comrade:
I have been to considerable expense in compiling and postage on this souvenir, and if you feel disposed to help me out in this, you may, if you feel so disposed, send me 25 cents to help defray the expense of the same. If you have not received "The Three Old Soldiers Carrying the 9th Iowa Flag to the State Capitol," and will let me know, I will be glad to send it to you.
As ever, your Comrade,
W. M. Trout.
Maquoketa, Iowa
