Brigade was hard pressed, led his command to its support. The One Hundred and Ninety- eighth moved at double quick, through mud and water, and wheeling sharply to the right into an open field, charged with shouts upon Mahone's rebel forces. Siekel, with sword in land, led the charge, and with desperate valor his men fell upon the foe. After a sanguinary struggle, in which General Sickel received from a rifle-shot a painful flesh wound in the left thigh, the brigade succeeded in driving him from the field and re-establishing its lines. Determined to regain his lost ground, the enemy attacked in the darkness with overpower- ing force. For a time he gained possession of a part of the Union works. At the first signal of alarm the One Hundred and Ninety-eighth rushed to arms, and delivering a volley, sprang upon the foe with the bayonet. The struggle for a time was hand-to-hand, muskets being elubbed, and bayonets freely used. He was finally beaten back, and amidst the fiery flashes of the musketry and of bursting shells, the works were regained and made secure. Strong lines of works were erected in the rear, on the opposite side of Hateher's Run, for the more ample protection of the position, and on the 14th, when the defenses were completed, the regiment moved half a mile to the rear, and for the third time built winter-quarters and a eliapel.
On the 25th of March, the enemy having piereed the Ninth Corps' lines at Fort Steadman, the regiment was early put in motion, and dur- ing nearly the entire day was kept upon the march for the support of portions of the line where active operations were in progress. Late on the evening of the 28th it was ordered to strike tents and rest upon its arms in readiness for an early march, the whole army awaiting the signal to deliver a decisive blow. At three o'clock on the morning of the 29th the One Hundred and Ninety-eighth marched at double quick, leading the corps in a southerly direction, and crossing Rouanty Creek below the junction of Gravelly and Hatcher's Runs, pursued the road to Dinwiddie Court-House as far as the Quaker road, into which it turned, and again crossing Gravelly Run, encountered the enemy

THE CIVIL WAR.
near the Old Saw-Mill, where he was strongly posted behind earth-works. A cleared field stretched out in front of his fortifications, which were flanked on either side by heavy timber, in which his sharpshooters were posted. Across this space of a thousand yards the regiment, in conjunction with the One Hundred and Eighty- fifth New York, and led by Sickel, dashed with determined bravery, and though receiving mur- derous volleys from front and flanks, reserved its fire until near the works, when, pouring in a well-directed sliot, it rushed upon the foe with the bayonet. The struggle for a few moments was at close quarters and desperate; but the firm bearing of the men of this brigade was triumphant. On reaching the Boydton Plank- Road, unable to withstand the steady pressure brought to bear upon him, he broke and fled in confusion. In this action, known as the battle of Lewis' Farm, the regiment sustained grievous losses. Jeremiah C. Keller was among the wounded. The entire loss was three hundred and eleven, of whom twenty-eight were killed and one hundred and seventeen wounded.
The regiment bivouacked upou the field, where it remained for thirty-six hours, exposed during a part of the time to a driving storm. On the morning of the 31st it again moved off, leading the column, and came upon the enemy at White Oak Swamp. Quickly forming, it was led to the attack, and after a spirited action drove him from the field. The loss was six killed and forty-six wounded. Captain Isaac Schroeder was mortally wounded. Soon after the conclusion of the battle the regiment moved forward towards Five Forks, and bivouacked for the night. On the following day it greeted with hearty cheers Sheridan's cavalry, and when he had passed, joined in the movement, plunging into a dense thicket of pine which lay before it.
Scarcely an hour had elapsed, when the still- ness of the forest was broken by the sharp fire of the skirmishers, followed by heavy volleys. Hastening forward, the regiment soon reached the scene of conflict, encountering the enemy's skirmishers, and driving them in upon his heavy defensive works. As the Union line emerged from the timber, an assault was or-
dered and gallantly made, but failed to dislodge the enemy. As the troops were falling back, General Chamberlain, who was in command of the division, dashed up to Major Glenn, quietly awaiting orders, and exclaimed, " Major ! can you take those works, and hold them ?" Turn- ing to his men, the major asked, " Boys, will you follow me?" With a wild cheer they answered, and pressing with their standard close upon the footsteps of their brave leader, dashed forward in the face of a terrific fire of musketry. Thrice was the standard beaten down, but it was caught up and borne bravely forward, until finally, blood-stained and torn, it floated in triumph over the works. The enemy was driven and his ground held. Filled with a soldier's pride, General Chamberlain, who had witnessed this gallant and triumphant charge, rode forward to congratulate the leader, and order his promotion on the field. But, alas ! at the moment when the triumph was assured, and Major Glenn had seized one of the enemy's colors from the hands of a rebel standard-bearer, he was pierced by a bullet, which inflicted a mortal wound. The evidences of rout and confusion were visible on every hand, and prisoners, guns and battle-flags fell into the hands of the conquerors. The loss in the One Hundred and Ninety-eighth was one killed and fifteen wounded. That night the regiment slept upon the field and at eleven on the following morning moved on one of the most tiresome marches of its entire service, ex- tending far into the night, being resumed at the light of the following day. On the 5th the joyful tidings was received that Richmond had fallen, and that Lee was retreating with his whole army. Late on the evening of the 8th, overcome with exhaustion, the troops threw themselves upon the ground and slept soundly. On the morrow they were early on the march, and passing through a narrow curtain of wood, suddenly came upon a grand spectacle. There, on the wide fields stretching far away, and sur- rounded by heavy timber, completely hemmed in by the Union forces, was Lee's entire army. The skirmishers advanced, and the enemy with- drew to his main line; but soon a white flag was displayed, aud the news of the surrender

quickly spread from rauk to rank through the Union army. On the 11th the enemy stacked arms and furled flags, and on the 15th the regiment commenced the homeward march. At Arlington Heights it went into camp and was there mustered out of service, on June 3, 1865.

CAPTAIN ISAAC SCHROEDER .- When the call for troops was made in 1861, Captain Isaac Schroeder responded promptly. He raised a company of men at Friedensburg, which was known as the " Washington Grays," and mustered into the three months' service as Company C, in the Seventh Regiment Penn-
sylvania Volunteers, under General Patterson. He also served as a private during the rebel invasion of 1863; and in September, 1864, he raised a company for one year. It was mustered into service as Company D, of the One Hundred and Ninety-eighth Pennsylvania Volunteers. He participated in engagements at Hatcher's Run and before Petersburg, and whilst in battle on the Weldon Railroad, on March 31, 1864, he was wounded in the abdo- men, from the effects of which he died on April 2d following, in City Point Hospital, aged forty-five years. He had been, previous to the war, prominently identified with the militia affairs of the county for many years, having commanded for a time a battalion composed of companies in Oley and Exeter townships.

ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY-SECOND REGIMENT.
In July, 1864, a regiment was recruited in Philadelphia, for a service of one hundred days, and mustered in as the One Hundred and Ninety-second. It was mnstered out of service in November following. One of the com- panies re-enlisted for one year, and in February, 1865, nine new companies united with it, which, together, were mustered in as a second regiment of the same number (One Hundred and Ninety- second). One of the nine companies was Com- pany F, recruited at Reading. The regiment was organized at Harper's Ferry, and when the spring campaign opened, it moved up the val- ley to Staunton and Lexington. But few of the enemy were met, for the fighting there was substantially at an end. It was retained in the department and engaged in various duties till August 24th, when it was mustered out of ser- vice.
