COL. T. H. GOOD.


Col. Tilghman H. Good was born in South Whitehall township, Oct. 6, 1830. He was brought up on the farm of an uncle until he be- came 16 years of age, when he went to Allen- town and learned the trade of shoemaker. After following his trade at Philadelphia for two years, he conducted a shoe store at Allentown for a short time; then carried on the Allen Hotel for several years. He acted as teller of the Al- lentown Bank from 1855 to 1859.


Col. Good became identified with the state militia in 1849 and served as Captain of the Allen Rifles for a time. When the Civil War broke out he and this company volunteered in April, 1861, being assigned as Co. I, Ist Regt.,


and he was chosen lieutenant-colonel. When the term of three months expired, he organized the 47th Regt. Pa. Vols., for three years and served with the regiment until discharged Sept. 24, 1864.


After the Civil War he carried on the Amer- ican Hotel from 1865 to 1869. He was then engaged in the real estate and insurance busi- ness for ten years, when he again secured the Allen House and ran it until 1885. Then he removed to Reading and conducted the Grand Central Hotel on Penn Square until his decease July 18, 1887.


In 1870 he resumed his connection with mil- itary affairs and became the captain of the Allen Rifles, N. G. P. He was promoted to lieutenant colonel in 1874, and to colonel in 1875, and re- elected in 1880. He participated in the Read- ing riot of July, 1877.


Col. Good served in the State Assembly 1858- 59; and officiated as Mayor of Allentown three terms, 1869-71, 1871-73, and 1874-76. He was affiliated prominently with Free Masonry and became a Knight Templar.


Major William H. Gausler was born at Rit- tersville, May 9, 1830, and received his educa- tion mostly in the schools at Bethlehem. He was employed on the Lehigh canal for a number of years and eventually ran twelve boats from White Haven to Philadelphia, with a line to Allentown, for supplying the towns en route with provisions, etc. From 1856 to 1861 he was engaged in the lumber business at Allen- town. Then he enlisted in the Civil War, served as a captain for 3 months, from April to July, 1861, and as a major in the 47th regiment for 3 years. While at Key West he officiated as the provost-marshal and commander of Fort Taylor.


In 1866, Major Gausler located at Phila- delphia and engaged in the wholesale grocery business, and later in the wholesale queensware business. He was a frequent visitor to Allen- town. He was president of the Reunion Asso- ciation of the 47th regiment, and always attend- ed its meetings. He died March 16, 1914, nearly 84 years old.


Of the captains of the 47th regiment, Capt. Edwin G. Minnich, of Co. B, was killed at Cedar Creek, Oct. 19, 1864. Capt. Charles Mickley, of Co. G, was killed at Pocotaligo, S. C., Oct. 22, 1862. Capt. George Junkert, of Co. K, died Oct. 25, 1862, of wounds received at Pocotaligo, and Capt. John J. Goebel, of Co. G, died at Winchester, Va., October, 1864. Capt. Thos. B. Leisenring died at Allentown, June 13, 1887. Captains Wm. H. Kleckner, of Co. B,; Henry S. Harte, and Edwin Gilbert, of Co. F .; C. A. G. Keck, Levi Stuber, and The-

HISTORY OF LEHIGH COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.


odore Mink, of Co. I, and Chas. W. Abbott, of Co. K, are deceased. The surviving captains, in 1914, are E. P. Rhoads, of Defiance, Ohio, who was born in Allentown Nov. 11, 1833, of Co. B, and Matthias Miller, of Allentown, of Co. K.


NINETY-SECOND REGIMENT (9th Cavalry). -A part of Co. A, from Lehigh county was in this regiment. It was organized on the 29th of August, 1861, and its place of rendezvous was near Harrisburg. On the 20th of November, it moved to Louisville, via Pittsburgh, went into camp at Jeffersonville, and to the front in Jan- uary, 1862. In February, on the advance of Gens. Buell and Mitchell against Gen. A. S. Johnson, at Bowling Green, it was ordered to remain for the protection of the State. The battalions were posted at different localities. In March the regiment was ordered into Tennes- see, and in May the 3d Battalion met a force of Morgan's cavalry at Lebanon (where that daring leader was defeated) and, afterward, captured Morgan's rear-guard, and pursued his force to the Cumberland mountains at Sparta. The same battalion was again warmly engaged at Moore's Hill on the 6th of June, and at Tompkinsville, on the 9th of July, with Mor- gan's force again.


The battalions were united in Kentucky early in August, and the regiment was engaged in protecting the State against Morgan's bands. It covered the retreat of Gen. Nelson to Louis- ville, after the battle of Richmond, Ky., on the 30th of August, and in doing so had a sharp fight with the rebel cavalry at Shelbyville. It was engaged at Perryville, where it fought bravely, and lost 10 killed and 27 wounded.


It returned to Louisville and on the 22d of December went on an expedition through the Cumberland, Pine, and Clinch mountains. On the Ist of January, 1863, it reached the Vir- ginia and Tennessee Railroad, captured a force of the enemy, and burned the bridge over the Watauga. Twelve miles distant, on the Hol- ston river, another force of 250 was captured and paroled, and a mile of trestle-work destroy- ed. The command then recrossed the mountains and reached Nicholasville on the 13th of Janu- ary. Soon afterward the regiment went to Louisville, then to Nashville, and, on the 8th of February, to Franklin, where it drove Forrest's cavalry from the town. During eighteen days the regiment confronted a vastly superior force of rebel cavalry under Van Dorn. In the Chick- amauga, campaign the reginient was in action at the battles of Rover, Middleton, and Shelby- ville, at which latter it captured a battery and
