CAPTAIN GEORGE W. DURELL was born at Wilmington, Del., on November 25, 1816. He learned his trade of painter at Philadel- phia, and then removed to Reading, finding employment with the Philadelphia and Read- ing Railroad Company. After serving for several years, he was elevated to be foreman painter, and continued in this position till he enlisted in the Civil War.
In April, 1861, he was mustered into ser- vice with the Ringgold Light Artillery as first sergeant, for three months. Afterward he raised an independent battery of artillery, which was mustered into service September 21, 1861, as Durell's Independent Battery D. He was commissioned captain, and continued in active service till September 23, 1864, when he was obliged to resign his commission on account of sickness. Upon his return home, he was appointed provost-marshal of this dis- trict, and served this office till it was discon- tinued. He then resumed painting in the em- ploy of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company, as foreman. He died November 9, 1883. He was an ardent Republican in poli- tics, and in religious belief a devoted Baptist. He took an active interest in the Odd-Fellows and Masons. He possessed a fine musical edu- cation, having been a superior tenor singer. In his associations he was very highly esteemed.
NINE MONTHS' SERVICE.
The following volunteer companies from Berks County were enlisted in the nine months' service :
Company A, One Hundred and Twenty-eighth Regiment, Captain L. Heber Smith.

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-EIGHTH REGIMENT.
This regiment was recruited in response to the proclamation of the Governor calling for troops to serve for nine months, issned July 21, 1862. Companies A, B, E, H, I and K were recruited in Berks County. The regiment rendezvoused at Camp Curtin, and was there mnstered into the service of the United States from the 13th to the 15th of August. The majority of the regimental officers were selected from the companies named. On the 16th of Angust it was ordered to Washington, moving under the command of Captain William H. Andrews, of Company E, because no officers had been as yet commissioned. Soon after its arrival at the capital it crossed the Potomac, and was encamped on Arlington Heights for a week. On the 21st it moved to Fairfax Seminary, and on the 29th to Fort Woodbury, where for a week- during the fierce fighting at Bull Run and Chantilly-it was incessantly engaged in felling timber and erecting fortifications. In this time Captain Samuel Croasdale, of Bucks County, had been appointed colonel and the staff selected.
On September 6th the regiment, in light marching order, recrossed the Potomac and entered upon the Maryland campaign. At Frederick City, on the 14th, it was assigned to Crawford's brigade, of Williams' division, Mans- field's corps. The command, moving forward rapidly, arrived in front of South Mountain by evening, where it was held in position during the night in expectation of a renewal of the battle. But the enemy retired, and late in the evening of the 16th it arrived at Antietam
Creek. At eleven P.M. of same evening it was led across the stream to the support of Hooker's troops, and at two A.M. on the 17th it bivouacked in a ploughed field close to the hostile lines. At early dawn the battle opened, and the brigade was immediately advanced in close column. At half-past six A.M. the regiment was ordered into the fight, and it made a most gallant charge through the wood and into the memorable corn- field where the enemy lay concealed. Unfor- tunately the charge was made by the flank, and before the regiment could be formed into line the fire of the enemy had become very hot. Colonel Croasdale was instantly killed while in the act of giving orders and bringing his com- mand into position ; and soon afterward Lient. enant-Colonel Hamersley was severely wounded and borne from the field. This caused the men to fall into confusion for a time, but being soon restored to order, the command then held the ground where the struggle had been most des- perate, and where the regiment had lost some of its bravest and best men, and was afterward relieved, when it rested on the field until night- fall. The loss was thirty-four killed and eighty- five wounded, of whom six died subsequently of their wounds. Captain William H. Andrews was among the killed, he having in the fight exhibited the most daring courage. After the battle the regiment was encamped at Sandy Hook, and afterward on Maryland Heights, being employed at the latter place in construct- ing fortifications. Much needed clothing was obtained here, and Major Wanner resigned to resume the duties of his office as mayor of Reading, he having left to assist in recruiting this regiment. Major Matthews was com- missioned as colonel and Captain Dyer as major. The regiment was then thoroughly drilled. On December 16th it arrived at Neabsco River, where it halted, and on the 17th it turned back to Fairfax Station. With the exception of some toilsome marching after Stuart's cavalry on the 28th, it remained in camp until January 19, 1863, when it proceeded to Stafford Conrt- House, and went into winter-quarters, doing guard and picket duty till the opening of the spring campaign, under Hooker. Captain L. Heber Smith was here commissioned to succeed
283
THE CIVIL WAR,
Hamersley as lieutenant-colonel, on account of Hamersley's permanent disability from wounds received at Antietam. On May 1st the brigade was ordered to intrench on the plank-road leading through the Wilderness, and later in day the regiment was moved out to the United States Ford to open the way over the Rappahan- nock, but returned to the intrenchments at even- ing. During the night it was ordered out to the fort. There it remained until morning, and during the day participated in the fighting upon the left centre. At evening the enemy succeeded in breaking the right wing of the army, and, coming in upon the flank, occupied the Union works. The night was very dark, and in re- tiring to its original line the regiment suddenly found itself surrounded by the enemy. Colonel Matthews, Lieutenant-Colonel Smith, Captains McNall, Newkirk, Jones, Yeager and Huber, Lieutenants Obold and Anthony, and two hun- dred and twenty-five non-commissioned officers and men were taken prisoners and marched to Richmond. The remainder of the regiment, under the command of Captain Kennedy, suc- ceeded in reaching its position in the line which it held with the utmost tenacity, in spite of the battle raging on this part of the field with great violence. It lost Captain Richards and a num- ber of men wounded. On the afternoon of May 3d the brigade was ordered to the rear as a guard to prisoners, on account of having suffered severely during the preceding two days, and crossed the Rappahannock at United States Ford, but in a few hours afterwards was ordered to return and again summoned to the front. At the close of the battle the regiment, reduced to one hundred and seventy-two men, returned to Stafford Court-House. Its term of service having expired, it was relieved from duty on May 12th, when it proceeded to Harrisburg, and there it was mustered out of service on May 19th. The officers and men who had been taken prisoners were held in captivity only a short time. They returned in time to be mustered out of service with the regiment. Upon its return to Reading it was honorably received by the authorities and citizens, and then it disbanded.
