MAJOR JOHN M. GRIES was the son of Dr. William Gries, for seventeen years a successful physician at Reading. He was born at Wom -. elsdorf, about 1827, and accompanied his father to Reading when a boy. After having been educated here he adopted the business of an architect, and then traveled in Europe for the purpose of perfecting his knowledge of archi-

tecture. Upon returning, he located at Phila- delphia, and pursued his vocation for some years with distinguished success. He designed the chapel of Charles Evans' Cemetery. In the fall of 1862 he entered the United States ser- vice as a volunteer for three years, and was chosen major of the Ringgold Regiment, after- ward the One Hundred and Fourth, which was recruited in Berks, Bucks and Montgomery Counties. He served gallantly with the Army of the Potomac. He received a fatal wound at Fair Oaks, on May 31, 1862, while rescuing the colors of his regiment, which had been inad- vertently left upon the field of battle unguarded. He was removed to Philadelphia, where he died on June 13th following, aged thirty-five years. His remains were brought to Reading, and buried in Charles Evans' Cemetery.

DURELL's INDEPENDENT ARTILLERY, BAT- TERY D .- This battery was recruited in Berks and Bucks Counties. It was organized at Doylestown on September 24, 1861. On No- vember 6th it proceeded to Washington and there received four ten-pound Parrott guns and horses and equipments for a six-gun battery. It was encamped east of the Capitol. On De- cember 18th it moved to Munson's Hill, where it was assigned to McDowell's division and two additional pieces were provided. It was in the march upon Manassas on March 10, 1862, with the leading column ; and upon its return en- camped between Alexandria and Bailey Cross- Roads. Thence it moved to Falmouth, opposite Fredericksburg, on April 18th. When Jack- son raided Shenandoah Valley this battery made

a forced march with the corps to Thoroughfare Gap to intercept him on his retreat, but arrived too late and so returned to Falmouth, where it continued two months. On August 12th it was assigned to the Second Division of the Ninth Corps, and marched to the assistance of Pope. It was brought into action for the first time at Kelly's Ford on August 21st. The left section became first engaged and exchanged rapid shots with the rebel guns for half an hour. The whole battery went into action (flanked by a regiment of Buford's cavalry) and drove the enemy from his position after delivering about forty rounds. It crossed the river at night and moved towards Warrenton next morning, the centre section supporting Buford's cavalry for a day and night. On the 27th it was assigned to Hooker's division. At Bristoe Station, aided by a Rhode Island battery, it drove the enemy from three successive positions. One horse was killed here. On the morning of the 28th it moved to Manassas Junction and at night to Centreville. On the 29th it advanced across Bull Run, and, when the battle began to rage with great violence, it went into position a half- mile to the right and front of the Stone Hos- pital. It remained in this position until near night of the 30th, when the left of the line was forced back and the enemy's shots began to tell upon its left flank. One gun was dismounted, two horses killed and one man wounded. It was ordered to retire upon learning that the ground was untenable. A new position was taken a few hundred yards to the rear and fire opened at long range, but at the end of twenty minutes it was again ordered back and it retired to Centreville. During the 31st it remained in the fortifications and on the evening of the next day it participated in the short but bloody battle of Chantilly, in which it was one of only two batteries engaged.
On September 2d it proceeded to Washington Arsenal and was refitted and fully equipped ; and shortly afterward it moved on the Mary- land campaign. It went into position near the top of South Mountain at three P.M. on the 13th. It was successful in this engagement, having fired from the six guns about two hun- dred and fifty rounds. The next day it moved
after the enemy toward Antietam. On the 17th it was shelled out of camp at daylight, and go- ing into position opened fire in reply. At nine A.M. it was ordered to the rear of Stone Bridge No. 3, nearly opposite Sharpsburg, and just be- fore General Hartranft took the bridge its centre section moved near the bridge and crossed it closely after his infantry. This sec- tion was joined by the remainder of the battery soon afterward and the whole battery went into position about nine hundred yards from the opposing rebel guns. These guns were engaged at short intervals for two hours whenever they opened, and the battery only retired after the projectiles were spent. This was the most des- perate engagement and at shortest range in which the battery participated. Two men were dangerously wounded and several horses dropped in their harness from exhaustion, which had to be left on the field.
When the army returned to Virginia the battery was engaged at Sulphur Springs on November 15th. For more than an hour it answered a hot fire of the enemy, expending over three hundred rounds. Lieutenant MoIl- vaine was mortally wounded aud one man se- verely. In December the battery par- ticipated in the battle of Fredericksburg at long range and sustained no loss.
Near the close of March, 1863, the battery accompanied the Ninth Corps West and was stationed for some time at Paris, Mount Sterl- ing and Crab Orchard, Ky. On June 6th it embarked at Lexington for Vicksburg to sup- port Grant's army, and then took a position twelve miles in the rear of Vicksburg, facing Jackson, to intercept the enemy if any attempt should be made at raising the siege.
Immediately after the fall of Vicksburg the battery moved towards Jackson, arriving before the town on July 10th. The battery took a position there, and kept up a steady fire upon the place for several days, sending a shell every ten minutes. Johnston retired, and the battery returned to camp upon the Yazoo. When the battery left for Vicksburg it was in a fine con- dition, numbering one hundred and twenty strong, and having arms, accoutrements and horses well supplied,-all in the highest state

of efficiency. Upon its return, after an absence of a little more than two months, ten men had died, forty were sick in the hospital, and only twenty or thirty of those in camp were fit for duty. About half of the horses had died, and only a small number of those that remained were serviceable.
The battery remained at Covington till the spring of 1864. It was sent to Johnson's Island, in Lake Erie, to prevent a threatened rescue of prisoners there, and in April it went to Washington to be refitted. Recruits were received to give the battery its original strength, and an entire new battery of ten Parrott guns. It marched with the Fourth Division of the Ninth Corps, and covered the wagon-train during the Wilderness campaign. It arrived before Petersburg about the middle of June, 1864, and was at once pnt npon the front. It was posted at Fort Morton, and kept up a ceaseless fire when the mine was exploded on July 30th. A month later it was engaged at Pegram's Farm, and during the subsequent operations occupied various works before the beleaguered city. In September, 1864, Captain Durell was honorably discharged, and Lieuten- ant Rhodes succeeded him. When the final attack was made on the defenses of Petersburg, on April 2, 1865, by Hartranft's command, the entire battery of six guns was brought to bear upon the rebel works, and when these were carried, detachments from the battery turned the captured guns upon the flying enemy. After the evacnation of the city, it moved along the South Side Railroad as far as Wilson's Station, and upon Lee's surrender proceeded to Alexandria, via City Point. It was mustered out of service, at Philadelphia, on June 13, 1865, except where otherwise men- tioned.
