After the war he became crippled by rheumatism, contracted in the army during his three years' service. He died in 1885, near Cowan, Tenn .; where he had resided the last ten years of his life, engaged in farm- ing. Lieutenant David. Mason is a well-known resi- dent of Susquehanna, to which place he returned after nearly three years' honorable service. The present whereabouts of Lieutenant Bonawitz are unknown.

We have followed the fortunes of the Sixth from Drancsville to Bethesda Church, and in its achieve- ments, its toils, and its triumphs, no company in the regiment shared more fully than did Company "K." On the 25th of December, 1863, P. L. Norton, who had previously been promoted from orderly-sergeant of the company to commissary-sergeant of the regi- ment, with twelve or fourteen more of Company K, re-enlisted. We doubt if these men had turkey that day for dinner, but they could have made no more valuable Christmas-offering upon the altar of their country. Just previous to the muster out of the regi- ment, at the expiration of its term, the veterans from the Sixth were transferred to the One Hundred and Ninety-first Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers,- those from Company K, forming part of Company E, of that regiment. P. L. Norton was promoted to first lieutenant of that company June 6, 1864, and to captain, December 3, 1864, and on April 1, 1865, was made major by brevet. George W. Belcher was made orderly-sergcant of the company, and on November 1, 1864, was commissioned first lieutenant but was not mustered, being a prisoner.

It was the misfortune of this regiment to be cap- tured, with others, on the 19th of August, 1864, while gallantly defending an advanced position near the Weldon Railroad. The men suffered all the horrors of Salsbury, not being released until near the close of the war.

FOURTEENTH RESERVES, FIRST ARTILLERY (FOR- TY-THIRD REGIMENT) .- This was the artillery regi- ment of the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, and was composed of eight batteries,-A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H. The men composing these batteries were recruited from all sections of the State. Susquehanna County furnished more than one hundred men for this regiment, who principally cnlisted in Batteries A, F and H. May 29th, 1861, a regimental organ- ization was effected, and early in August the regi- ment was ordered to Washington. As fast as the batteries werc armed and equipped, they moved to Camp Barry, east of the Capitol, from which camp the several batteries werc assigned to different divis- ions and corps of the army, and never came together again as a regiment.

Battery A .- This battery, known as Easton's Bat- tery, was principally recruited at Chambersburg by

Captain Hezekiah Easton, and after his death was commanded respectively by Captains Simpson and Stitt. In 1861 twelve men from Susquehanna County joined it, and in 1864 about twenty more. Battery A was the first of the "Reserve" artillery to meet the enemy, it participating with the Third Brigade in the battle of Dranesville, December 20, 1861. The fine artillery practice then displayed by Easton's Battery was such as to elicit commendation from General McCall in his official report. On the 27th of June, 1862, at Gaines' Mills, while the battery was hotly engaged with the enemy, in a sudden emer- gency, the regiment of infantry supporting it was withdrawn to another part of the field.

The enemy, seeing its exposed position, imme- diately charged upon it. Under cover of a cavalry charge, the guns were attempted to be withdrawn ; but the charge was repulsed by the terrible infantry fire of the enemy, and the cavalry came ponring through the battery, carrying with them to the rear all the available teams and limbers. The enemy, yelling like demons, rushed boldly to the guns, now left without ammunition, crying out to Captain Easton and the brave men who stood by him, to surrender. His reply, never to be forgotten by his comrades who clustered about him, was: "No! we never sur- render!" Alas! the next moment that voice was hushed in death. He fell beside his guns; none were left to surrender them.

The battery was reorganized and reecived new guns upon the arrival of the army at Harrison's Landing. It participated in the battles of Bull Run, Sonth Mountain, Antietam and Fredericksburg, ever maintaining its reputation for skill and bravery, and during the last-named battle it held its position under a concentrated fire of the enemy's artillery, marks of his shot and shell being visible, after the engage- ment, on every gun and caisson. Battery A was afterwards detached from the Army of the Potomac and assigned to what was known as the Army of Virginia or Army of the James; and while with this command it operated on the Black Water, at Deep Bottom, Fort Darling, Seven Pines and Petersburg. Upon the fall of Richmond, under command of Cap- tain Stitt, it entered the fallen city, with Weitzel's Corps, on the day of its surrender. It remained on duty in that city until early in July, 1865, when it received orders to turn in its horses and guns and procced to Harrisburg. Here, on the 25th of July, 1865, after four years and four months of service, it was mustercd out.

Battery F .- This battery was recruited principally from Schuylkill County, and organized with Ezra W. Mathews as captain. Upon his promotion as major of the regiment, R. Bruee Ricketts succeeded to the command, who in turn was promoted to major, when John F. Campbell was commissioned captain, and commanded the battery during the remainder of its term of service. In the spring of 1861, twenty-

HISTORY OF SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.

one men, a majority of whom were from the town- ship of Jackson, enlisted with T. LeRoy Case, and joined Battery F. When the battery was organized, Mr. Case was made second lieutenant, and eight of the other Susquehanna County "boys" were placed on the non-commissioned staff of the battery. When it is called to mind that nearly three hundred and fifty men were borne upon the roll of this battery, it was no small compliment to the men from our county to be thus selected. From the camp of the Reserves at Tenallytown, Battery F was ordered, on the 12th of September, 1861, to join General Banks' command at Darnstown, Md., and was never afterwards in any way connected with the regiment or the Reserves. On the 20th of December a section of the battery, under command of Lieutenant Ricketts, had an en- gagement with a body of the enemy's artillery and cavalry.

In the latter part of February, 1862, the battery was furnished with new guns (six, three-inch rifled) and new equipments. The battery, on the 1st of March, started with Banks' advance up the Shenan- doah Valley, and had frequent engagements with the enemy, the more important being Cedar Mountain and the spirited engagement had with the enemy's artillery when Pope withdrew his forces across the Rappahannock. In the latter, the battery had two guns disabled, and Lieutenant Godbald was struck by a percussion shell, and from the effects of the wound he soon after died. At the second battle of Bull Run, August 30, 1863, the battery was posted near the Henry House. On the afternoon of that day Lieutenant Case was ordered, with one section (two guns), to report to General Steveus, leaving Lieutenant Brockway alone with his section, the two disabled guns not having been repaired. A fierce cannonade ensued; but the troops supporting the battery being withdrawn, it was moved to a new po- sition. But the enemy gained possession of the Sudly Spring Road, the only avenue of escape, and the guns were lost. Another gun was placed under Lieutenant Brockway, with orders to "fill the chest with ammunition," and at dusk he was directed by General Heintzleman to "hold the position until fur- ther orders and keep up a steady fire in the direction of the enemy." Supposing he was to be supported, he continned his fire until suddenly he was charged upon by the enemy, who came swarming on all sides. Much to the chagrin of the rebel commander, this bold charge of the enemy's hosts resulted in the cap- ture of one gun and caisson and eight men. "It was intended," said Lieutenant Brockway afterwards, "that we should hold the hill until killed or cap- tured, while the army retreated across Bull Run. The ruse succeeded, and I afterwards learned that while our single gun was booming from the Henry House, the Bucktails were cutting down the bridge across Bull Run." Only one gun was saved, aud the remnant of the battery marched all night, and the

next day reached Centreville. Here the guns and horses of an Indiana battery were turned over to Captain Mathews, and the battery was partially re- fitted. Early in September Lieutenant Case was obliged to leave the battery on account of sickness, and never afterwards returned, being honorably dis- charged in February, 1863. On the 17th of Septem- ber, at daylight, Battery F opened the battle of Antietam, being posted just in rear of the cornfield which has become historic. During this engagement Captain Matthews had his horse killed under him, aud this was the fate of most of the horses of the bat- tery. The battery sustained a loss of four killed and fifteen wounded. At the battle of Fredericksburg, December 13th, it was engaged, and afterwards went into winter-quarters near Belle Plain. In March, 1863, Captain Matthews was promoted to major, and Lieutenant Ricketts became captain of Battery F. At the battle of Chancellorsville, May 1st to 5th, the battery passed through another baptism of fire, and in such close quarters did the battery fight, that grape and canister was almost the only ammunition used. But it was at Gettysburg that "Ricketts' Battery " won fresh and lasting laurels. It was upon the posi- tion where this battery was posted that the famous charge of the Louisiana Tigers was made. It was the supreme moment of that terrible and memorable battle. On rushed the maddened and yelling rebels, and into their ranks the battery of Ricketts poured a stream of canister at the rate of four discharges a minute. But closing up the gaps, the determined enemy advanced into the very midst of the bat- tery, when a hand-to-hand contest ensued, the men of the battery defending their guns with hand-spikes, rammers and stones. At this critical moment Carroll's brigade came to the rescue, and the enemy retreated. The battery was engaged in a most exposed position on the following day. Its losses were niue killed, fourteen wounded and three taken prisoners, while more than forty of its horses were killed or disabled. On the 14th of October, at Bris- tow Station, five of the enemy's guus were captured, and in acknowledgment of the part taken by Ricketts' battery, it was selected to take the captured guns to the headquarters of the commanding general. Early in January, 1864, more than one hundred men of the battery re-enlisted, and were granted a veteran furlough. During the campaign of 1864 it partici- pated in the bloody battles of the Army of the Poto- mac under Grant. At thic Wilderness, at Cold Har- bot, at Petersburg, the guns of Ricketts belched forth their iron hail. In the fiual campaign it bore a con- spicuous part, and after the fall of Richmond, April 3, 1865, was sent to City Point. From here it pro- ceeded to Washington, where its guns and horses were turned over, and from there to Harrisburg, where, June 10, 1865, it was mustered out.

Battery H .- This battery was recruited principally in the city of Philadelphia, by James Brady, who

THE REBELLION.

was commissioned its captain, but after his promotion to major of the regiment the battery was command- ed respectively by Captains Fagan and Richards. In the early part of 1861 William J. Park, of Dimock, and seven more Susquehanna County men joined the battery, and upon its organization, Mr. Park was made first lieutenant. In 1864 about thirty more from this county became members of the battery. Battery H, soon after being equipped, was assigned to the artillery brigade of Buell's division. On the 10th of March 1861, the battery was transferred to Couch's division of the Fourth Corps, with which it remained during the Peninsula campaign. For a month, during the siege of Yorktown, the batttery was actively employ- ed. At the battle of Fair Oaks the battery was hotly engaged, and after it had exhausted its canister and grape, it fired Parrott shells without fuse. After the battles of Charles City Cross-Roads and Malvern Hill, Battery H, with others, covered the rear of the army on its retreat to Harrison's Landing. When the army of Mcclellan returned from the Peninsula, Battery H and Battery E, of the same regiment, was left with the Fourth Corps at Yorktown, to garrison that post and Gloucester. At the opening of the Gettysburg campaign the battery was ordered to Washington, and from there, on the 1st of July, mnade a forced march to the battle-field, but did not arrive in time to participate in that battle. It was again ordered to Washington and placed on duty as a reserve battery at Camp Barry. In May, 1864, Bat- tery H was dismounted in common with other volun- teer batteries, and placed in the defenees south of the Potomac, being stationed at Fort Whipple. It remain- ed in the defences of Washington, and on picket duty at Edwards' Ferry until June, 1865, when it was order- ed to Philadelphia and on the 27th it was mustered out of service.
