From the "History of the Twelfth Regiment"
Here is the fifer by transfer of Company F., through an enlisted member of Company B.. The fifth of the ten children, equally divided, of Timothy and Sally (Emerson) Blake, and born in Epsom, February 8, 1822. is father was in the War of 1812, and his grandfather Christopher, was in the revolution. Married Mary J., daughter of Aaron Buzzell of Gilford, February 3, 1845, and had by her, Geroge F., Margaret R., and Mary E.
He was one of the best fifers in the army. In a company of many players, high and clear above them all could be heard the inspiring notes of his fife. When other had to give out as "winded" he was nearly as frech as when he first began, without once taking the fife from his lips.
He was naturally kind and free hearted and from this fatherly kindness, as well as from the ract that he was older than most of his comrades, he gained among them the honored name of 'Uncle John." He was present as musician at several battles and always ready to do whatever duty was required of him, though shells and bullets were making music instead of his fife. He is still living with his good wife in Narnstead where he has resided for many years. Occupation, a farmer.
