JUNIATA AND SUSQUEHANNA VALLEYS IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Early in October it joined the Army of the James, but about three weeks later it was trans- ferred to the Army of the Potomac and assigned to General Hartranft's provisional brigade, which was attached to the Ninth Corps, and which, about the middle of December, became a part of the Third Division of that corps, Gen- eral Hartranft commanding the division and Colonel Matthews the brigade. The camp of the regiment was at Fort Prescott, on the " Army-Line Railroad," where, with the divi- sion, it made winter-quarters, the other divi- sions of the Ninth Corps holding positions in its front.
The first battle of the regiment was the re- taking of Fort Steadman, which had been pre- viously captured by the enemy in a sudden and overwhelming assault. It was in the early gray of the morning (March 25, 1865) that the troops were formed in line for the attack. The Two Hundred and Fifth was held in reserve and in support of Hartranft's first line, where it remained for more than an hour. The as- sault was made with great impetuosity and the work was carried in gallant style. The regi- ment captured a number of prisoners and lost ten wounded in the action. But the severest battle in which the Two Hundred and Fifth was engaged was the first assault on the works of the inner line at Petersburg, in the morning of April 2d. The regiment formed at eleven o'clock p. M. of the 1st, and at one A. M. of the 2d moved forward to the rear of Fort Sedg- wick, then advanced and formed a line of bat- tle nearly on the picket line. At daylight the whole line advanced to the attack. The regi- ment assaulted Battery No. 30, carried it, tak- ing a number of prisoners, and held the work against several determined assaults made by the enemy during the day. It remained on the front line till two o'clock A. M. of the 3d, when it was relieved. In this engagement the regiment was exposed to the heaviest fire of musketry and artillery and suffered a loss of one hundred and twenty-one killed and wounded and five missing.
On the 3d of April the regiment moved to the front of the Petersburg works and found them evacuated. It then marched with the other
troops, to Burkesville Junction, repairing the South Side Railroad as it proceeded. It remained at Burkesville till after the war had been ended by the surrender of the Confederate armies un der Lee and Johnston, when it moved back to City Point and there embarked for Alexandria, near which place (at Fairfax Seminary) it re- mained until ordered to Pennsylvania. It was mustered out June 2, 1865. Following is a list of the officers and enlisted men of the Mif- flin County companies.
COLONEL WILLIAM WILLIS is descended from Scotch ancestry, and is the grandson of Joseph Willis, who resided near Columbia, Lancaster County, where he was an enterpris- ing farmer. The latter married a Miss Mel- drum, of the same county, whose chil- dren were Samuel, John, George, James, Robert, Joseph, Charles, William, Thomas, Henry, Peggy, Sarah and Nancy.
The birth of John Willis occurred on the homestead, in Lancaster County, in 1796. He devoted his life to the occupations of a farmer in his native county, having married Fanny, daughter of John Shupe, also of the same county. Their children are William, Henry, John, Elizabeth (Mrs. George Wilson, of Read- ing), Mary (Mrs. J. Goshe, also of Reading), Susan (Mrs. Landorn Carter, of California, de- ceased), Sarah (Mrs. Christian Leib, of Lan- caster), Charlotte (Mrs. Thomas Winnemore, of Iowa), Fanny (Mrs. William F. Breckon, of Iowa) and Anna (Mrs. Frank Canders, of Ot- tawa, III.).
William Willis, the subject of this sketch, was born April 24, 1821, in Mountville, Lan- caster County, Pa., and in childhood removed to Mount Joy, in the same county. The neces- sity for acquiring habits of industry in early years precluded opportunities for a thorough education, and at the age of fourteen, on leav- ing the farm, he was engaged as conductor of a freight train, first on the Harrisburg and Lan- caster Railroad, and later on the Columbia and Philadelphia Railroad, both of which were at that time controlled by the State. At the age of sixteen he became an engineer, but later re- turned to the position of conductor. Deciding to change his employment, he entered a furnace

in Marietta, Pa., as an employe, and finally ac- cepted the position of manager for Schoenberger & Musselman, which he filled from 1847 to 1853, when Lewistown became his home. Here he acted as manager of the Lewistown furnace until 1858 and then embarked in the milling and grain business. Disposing of his interest in the latter enterprise, in 1864 he en- tered the army in defense of his native State, then invaded by the rebel forces. He became
gan Iron Company, of which he was both superintendent and president. He is also ex- tensively interested in contracting and in vari- ous commercial enterprises, including the quar- rying of limestone, and fills the office of director of the Mifflin County National Bank. In politics he is a Republican and has filled various local offices, such as chief burgess, school director, etc. IIe is a director of the Gettysburg Theological Seminary. He was, on

second lieutenant of Company F, Two Hundred and Fifth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, and served until the close of the war, partici- pating in the engagements at Hatcher's Run, Va., the retaking of Fort Sedgwick, Va., and at Petersburg. Declining a colonel's commis- sion on account of ill health, he accepted the position of quartermaster and also acted as com- missary of his brigade. On returning again to civil life, Colonel Willis embarked in the manu- facture of iron, in connection with the Glamor-

IIe is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, of Lewistown, in which he has, since 1855, been an elder. He is a member of the Lewistown Lodge, Chap- ter and Commandery of Free and Accepted Masons and has filled the leading offices in each of these organizations.
Colonel Willis was, on the 25th of August, 1841, married to Susan, daughter of Philip
