                             CHAPTER XVIII.

                   Military - The War of the Rebellion.

  In the great conflict of 1861-65 known as the war of the Rebellion, 
the people of Huntingdon County exhibited the greatest patriotism and 
promptness in furnishing and forwarding men for service in the Union 
armies.  From the time when the first call for troops was made known 
until the surrender of the principle hostile army made further calls 
unnecessary, the young men, the middle aged men and not infrequently 
the old men of this county responded to each appeal with a patriotic 
alacrity not excelled in any other part of the State or Union.
  THE FIFTH REGIMENT of Pennsylvania in the three months service 
included a previously-organized independent company of Huntingdon known 
as the Standing Stone Guards.  It was designated in the regimental 
organization as D company of the Fifth and was mustered into the 
service of the United States April 21, 1861.
  The Fifth Regiment was rendezvoused and organized at camp Curtin 
where its companies were mustered into the service of the United States 
on the 20th and 21st of April 1861.  Its field-officers were Col. R. P. 
McDowell of Pittsburg; Lieut. Col. Benj. C. Christ of Schuylkill 
County; and Major R. Bruce Petriken, of Huntingdon.
  OFFICERS Co. D:  Captain, Benj. F. Miller; First Lieut., Geo. F.

service of the United States April 26, 1861.  The field officers of the 
regiment were Col. Sullivan A. Meredith, Lieut. Col. Oliver J. Dickey, 
Major Richard White.

Captain, Alex. Bobb; First Lieut., J. C. Saunders; Sec. Lieut., John H.

Johnson C. Ackers; Second Corp., Geo. Strayer; Third Corp., John 
Grimes; Fourth Corp., Peter Barley; Musicians, Thomas Campbell and H.

  THE FIFTEENTH REGIMENT contained one company, which, though credited 
to Cambria County was made up largely of men from Huntingdon, which 
county furnished all its commissioned officers, as will be found in the 
roll.  This company, designated as H of the Fifteenth, was mustered 
into service on the 23rd of April, 1861.  The fifteenth Regiment was 
organized at Camp Curtin, its field officers being Col. Richard A. 
Oakford, Lieut Col. Thomas Biddle, Maj. Stephen N. Bradford.  It was 
brigaded with the Fourteenth under Gen. James S. Negley, and its 
history from muster in to muster out is essentially the same as that of 
the Fourteenth.

largely at the expense of its original colonel, John W. Geary, who was 
a veteran officer of the Mexican War, and who afterwards became a 
general in the United States service and Governor of the State of 
Pennsylvania.  The other field officers of the Twenty-Eighth were 
Lieut. Col. Gabriel de Korponay and Maj. Hector Tyndale.  The regiment 
was of unusual size, embracing fifteen companies, of which one
