ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVENTH.
Twenty-seven men of Company K in this regiment were from
Schuylkill county. The regiment was organized in August, 1862,
for the term of nine months, and soon went forward to Washington.
It was under fire at Crampton's Gap, in South Mountain, at Fred-
ericksburg and at Chancellorsville, but was never actively en-
gaged. At the expiration of its term of service it was dis-
charged.
The men from this county in Company K were the following:
Michael Burns, James Brannan, James Bandegrast, Patrick Cocoran,
John P. Culloghan, Charles Conner, John Cowen, Peter Culligham,
John C. Conner, James Donahue, Edward Donahoe, Patrick Donoho,

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FIRST REGIMENT.
A large portion of Company I of this regiment was recruited
in Schuylkill county. It was a nine months' regiment. It went
to Washington in November, 1862, and at once entered on the duty
of patrolling a region infested with guerillas and inhabited by
traitors. Here it necessarily acquired a discipline that served
it in many trying hours. During its term of service the men
experienced greater hardships than fell to the lot of many oth-
ers.
At the battle of Gettysburg the regiment fought desperately
and exhibited a coolness and courage rarely equaled. It lost in
this fight two officers and sixty-six men killed, twelve officers
and one hundred and eighty-seven men wounded, and one hundred
missing. The conduct of the regiment in this battle was very
highly commended.
In Company I of this regiment were the following:
Officers.-Captain, Wm.L. Gray. First lieutenant, H.H. Mer-
kle; second, C.P. Potts. Sergeants-John Cohoon, Charles Barto-
lett, Joseph Kantner, Thomas Morgan. Corporals-Elias Bartolett,

HISTORY OF SCHUYLKILL COUNTY.
_______________________________________________________________
162ND REGIMENT--SEVENTEENTH CAVALRY.
Of this regiment Company H, consisting of 93 men (subsequent-
ly reinforced by sixty-one more), was recruited in Schuylkill
county. The regiment reached Washington late in November, 1862,
and was soon ordered to the front. It was engaged in the ordi-
nary duty of cavalry till the battle of Chancellorsville, where
it did important service and was highly complimented for its
coolness. It was again engaged at Gettsyburg, and in the cam-
paign following it was very active. Space will not permit of
even a catalogue of the actions in which this gallant regiment
was engaged and of the other important services which it ren-
dered. A detachment was with General Kilpatrick in his raid on
Richmond, and the regiment participated in the brilliant cam-
paigns of Sheridan, and a history of its doings would necessitate
almost a history of those campaigns. Everywhere it did efficient
service and its losses were heavy.

action.

About one-fourth of Company F in this regiment was recruited
in this county. It was organized in May, 1864; at once joined
the Army of the Potomac, and the next day was in the battle of
Tolopotomy Creek. Immediately following this it was in the
battle of Cold Harbor; then engaged in several successive as-
saults on the enemy's works, in which it lost heavily-indeed, its
losses in killed, wounded and prisoners amounted to 350 out of
500 that first went into action at Tolopotomy. the remnant of
the men were engaged at Deep Bottom, and lost twenty-seven killed
and wounded ot of ninety-seven engaged. It afterward received
three new companies, and thus reinforced was several times en-
gaged. It also suffered many losses while at work in the trench-
es near the enemy's lines. Sixty-seven members of this regiment
died in the prison at Andersonville, some at Salisbury and Flor-
ence, and many wounded prisoners in Petersburg.
Company F in this regiment bore on its rolls the names of the
following from Schuylkill county:
Officers.-Lieutenant, W.D. Williams. Sergeant, S.S. Dull.
