The Coo In The Flue
It wasn’t an owl, nor a “hant” in
the chimney at the Library Annex
Tuesday morning. It was a brace of
pigeons cooing comfortably under
the protective concrete slab capping
the brick chimney, the open flue act-
ing like a sounding board. Don
‘Weidner erected a tall ladder and
apprehended the culpits.
“Cut the coo in the flue, shoo,”
he advised, with a flap of his hand.
| The pigeons took off.
“Lawrenceburg is still trying to
maintain its precarious identity as
a typical American city. Every
inow and then you can buy some-
| thing that wasn’t made in Japan.”

THE DALLAS POST, THURSDAY, AUGUST 17, 1961
About Civil War
Dear Howard: r
Enclosed is check for the Dallas
Post for another year.
We were in Noxen a few days
but were unable to see you, so
will try again on our next trip
East.
Both of my. grandfathers were
in the Civil War and if you can
find anything concerning their rec-
ords, I would be glad to have it.
Harry Osborn was a Sergeant in
Company K, 106th Pennsylvania
Volunteers. This is taken from the
stone in Dimmock, Susquehanna
County, Cemetery. On the Pennsyl-
vania Monument at Gettysburg his
name seems to be Henry Osborn. I
have been told that he enlisted
while on a hunting trip in western
Pennsylvania.
The other is Miles F. Newberry,
Company F, 53rd Pennsylvania In-
fantry as taken from the monument
in Beaumont Cemetery.
Yours very truly
Harry Osborn
Dear Harry:
Both of your grandfathers were
in one of the toughest fighting
units in the Civil War—The Second
Corps commanded by ja great Penn-
sylvanian, Mayor General Winfield
Norristown, Pa., and Brig. General
John Gibbon, another favorite.
the Army of the Potomac.
One of seven Federal Corps at
Gettysburg, the Second was com-
posed of 13,000 men divided into
three Divisions. The [First Division
made up of four Brigades, was com-
manded by Brig. Gen. John ‘C. Cald-
well.
Your grandfather Miles F. New-
berry, served with Company F, 53rd
Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, in
the Fourth Brigade commanded by
Col. John R. Brooke. Commander of
the 53rd Regiment was Lieut. Col.
Richards ‘McMichael. Other regi-
ments fighting beside youf grand-
father in the Fourth Brigade were
27th Connecticut; 2nd Delaware;
64th. New York and 145 Pennsyl-
vania.
The 53rd lost eleven enlisted men;
11 officers and 56 enlisted men
wounded and 6 enlisted men capt-
ured or missing at Gettysburg.
The Second Corps was not en-
gaged in the first days fighting on
July 1st at Gettysburg, but was
encamped about two miles from the
field that night at 10. The following
day it arrived on the field at 7 a.m.
and went into position on Cemetery
Ridge about one mile north of Lit-
tle Round Top, where there was
little action until about 4 p.m., when
the Fourth Brigade was ordered to
the assistance of General Dan Sick-
le’s Third Corps, going into: battle
line at the edge of the wheat field
at the double-quick. Enemy artil-
lery fire was taking a heavy toll.
The Brigade gallantly responded,
and dashing forward broke the
enemy’s second line and mounting
the high ground beyond the Run,
drove the enemy's artillery from its
position. It was in this charge and
at this time that the 53rd Pennsyl-
vania reached the identical spot now
marked by its monument.
This monument is surmounted by
a mustached infantryman in full
marching equipment, rifle in hand,
bayonet affixed, and wearing an
overcoat. I'm sure none of them
wore overcoats during, those hot
July days "in 1863 and why the
soldier on the monument wears one
is ‘beyond me.
The regiment. had advanced so
far and was so strongly assailed
by forces on both flanks that it
was forced to retire, and none too
soon because it was almost enveloped
before it. reached and repassed the
wheatfield where .it reformed be-
hind stonewalls. It being then about
7 pm. and the fighting for the
day practically over, it reformed
on Cemetery Ridge where it dug
rifle pits.
‘It saw little action on July 3rd
when Pickett’s main charge was
some distance to its right. Neither
the regiment nor the Brigade was
directly engaged, but the skirmish

line of some of the charging regi-
ments crossed aportion of the regi-
ment’s front and right. But since
the Southern skirmishers refrained
from firing they were permitted
to pass through the regiment's
lines unmolested and were taken
prisoners.
The 53rd was recruited in North
Central Pennsylvania and Luzerne
County. Its total highest enroll-
ment was 2080 and carried into
action at Gettysburg only 135 of-
ficers and men, 82 of whom were
reported as killed, wounded, mis-
sing on captured.
Mustered in November 7, 1861, it
reenlisted December 22, 1863 and
was mustered out June 30, 1865.
It saw action in seven of the
battles of the Peninsula campaign;
was in neither of the Bull Run
Battles, but was at Antietam,
Gettysburg, Wilderness, Spotsyl-
vania, Cold Harbor, Petersburg and
Appomattox.
Space does not permit more de-
tail, but since both of your grand-
fathers were in the Second Corps,
I would suggest that you would
enjoy these books: The Battle of
Gettysburg by Frank Aretas Has-
kell, a young officer on General
John Gibbon’s staff, who wrote it
as a letter to his brother within
Tucker. The first is published by
Houghton Mifflin Co.; the second
by Bobbs-Merrill.

Hurled Violently From
Bicycle, Head Injured
An eight-year old Trucksville boy,
suffering from severe concussion
when hurled from his bicycle on
Bunker Hill Road August 7, re-
mains at Nesbitt Hospital. Frank
Oatridge Jr. regained conscious-
ness briefly the following morning,
and lapsed again into a stupor.
Late reports are that he is now
doing well.
Frank, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Oatridge, Carverton Road, apparently
caught his foot in the spokes on
a down-grade. The area, scrutinized
by Assistant Chief Jess Coslett,
showed no sign of skid marks in-
dicating a hit-run accident.
The boy, bleeding and wuncons-
cious, was taken by a passing mot-
orist to Trucksville Fire House, then
to Dr. Richard Crompton’s office.
Dr. Crompton called Kingston Town-
ship ambulance for the trip to Nes-
bitt.
