The Alleghanian, Ebensburg, Pa. Thursday, October 31, 1861 Volume 3, Number 6 A Veteran Solider Among the men enlisted with Capt. Williams of the regular infantry, in Johnstown, is an old soldier who has already seen nineteen years and three months service, having served nine years in the British service, ten in the United States service, and three months in the recent volunteer service as a member of the band of the 3d regiment of volunteers from this State. He has also four sons enlisted in the United States service, two in Col. Campbell’s Cambria County Regiment and two in Capt. Williams Company. The name of this veteran soldier is Elisha C. Bennett. He is over 45 years of age, and last week, married a second wife half his age, who will accompany him in the campaign upon which he will soon enter. During his term of service in the British army he visited the West Indies and Canada. His first enlistment in the U. S. service, from 1839 to 1844, was spent principally in Maine and Rhode Island, at Newport Barracks. During his second term he passed through the Mexican war in Gen. Taylor’s division of the army, participating in all old Zach’s battles from Palo Alto to Buena Vista and received his discharge at Newport Barracks, Kentucky in 1849. His entire nineteen years and a quarter’s service was put in as a musician but he entered the public service for the fifth time as a private in the ranks. We are pleased to say however than since his enlistment with Capt. Williams he has been assigned the position of 2d Sergeant and will remain among us for some weeks yet on recruiting service for the Company. We question whether a similar instance of faithful and persevering public service and devote patriotism can be found in the land, even in this most prolific era of patriotic examples. Pass around the name of Elisha C. Bennett, the man who has already given nine years to the country of his birth, ten to that of his adoption and now gives himself, wife and four sons for three years more to the support of the Government. [Cambria TRIBUNE] Direct Communication with the Pacific San Francisco to New York Greeting The Great Overland Telegraph to the Pacific has been completed and the first messages from the far off Golden State were received last week. The Atlantic is now wedded to the Pacific in indissoluble bonds and the two great sections of our common country speak to each other with instant and instinctive patriotism. We live in an age of never ceasing wonders: what formerly took months to achieve is now performed it the quickness of a flash. May the projectors of this enterprise, the successful completion of which will be of inestimable value to the whole Republic, receive their full mead of honor and profit. The first message dispatched over the wire, was a brief announcement of the completion of the line to Salt Lake as follows: Fort Bridger, Utah, Oct. 13 - The Pacific Telegraph Line was completed to Salt Lake at one o’clock today. The line between Salt Lake City and San Francisco will be finished in a few days. Accident Mr. Robert Coleman of White township, Indiana county, was severely injured on Wednesday of last week under the following circumstance: He was engaged felling timber in the woods and the limb of a tree which he had just cut down caught in its descention an adjoining tree and from thence fell to the ground, striking Mr. C. on the head during its progress and inflicting a dangerous wound. He has been unable to speak since the accident but hopes are entertained of his recovery. Silver Grays This gallant and patriotic body of men as many of our readers are aware met in Wilmore on Friday last for the purpose of effecting an organization. William Palmer, Esq., of Wilmore was elected Captain; James Murray of Ebensburg, First Lieut.; and Isaac Teeter of Johnstown, Second Lieut. It will be seen that the men have been peculiarly fortunate in the selection of their officers. Capt. Palmer, we feel certain will be deservedly popular as the head of the company. He has not, we believe hitherto been a military man, but from the first his heart has beat in unison with the war of the Union. He has been very active in raising the company under his command and with a little discipline we feel confident he will make a most able and accomplished officer. Lieutenant Murray is no stranger to the tented field. When the war with Mexico broke out he was among the first to volunteer his services in behalf of the “Stars and Stripes.” He was captain of the “Cambria Guards” of Ebensburg, a company which made its mark on every occasion. He is considered one of the best drill officers in the State. With Lieutenant Teeter we are not so well acquainted though from what we can learn of him, he is evidently “the right man in the right place.” We do not know that he has seen actual service but he has always taken a deep interest in military matters and is a gentleman of enlarged experience. Shortly after the election, Capt. Palmer repaired to Harrisburg to procure the officers’ commissions and attend generally to the business of the company. We understand that Wilmore will be the place of rendezvous until the ranks are full and everything ready for marching. The company now numbers about eighty men and although they are aptly styled “Silver Grays” yet they are all stout, hearty and robust and probably capable of enduring more hardship than many who are much younger in years. We hope the energetic captain will soon have his full complement of men and take up his line of march for the seat of war, as we are confident that when they go upon duty we shall have a good account of them. All honor, say we, to the Silver Grays. _________________________________________________________________ See how Windows connects the people, information, and fun that are part of your life. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/msnnkwxp1020093175mrt/direct/01/

The Alleghanian, Ebensburg, Pa. Thursday, October 17, 1861 Volume 3, Number 4 Fires in Blair County On Thursday before last, the steam grist mill of Mr. John Allison and the steam planing mill of Mr. Thomas McAuley, adjoining each other in Altoona were entirely consumed by fire, together with the contents. The fire is supposed to have originated from sparks falling from the stack of one of the mills. Loss to Mr. Allison, $5,000; insured for $2,300. Loss to Mr. McAuley, $4,000; insured for $1,500. On Friday afternoon succeeding, the casting house, bridge over the railroad and two dwelling houses at Blair Furnace were destroyed by fire. Origin of fire and loss unknown. Letters from Our Volunteers Camp in Virginia, October 11, 1861 On Monday we started for Great Falls, fifteen miles from Tennallytown, on the Potomac, to do ten day’s picket duty. We started from our camp at about 2 o’clock P. M. and arrived there at 6. This is considered pretty steep marching. On arriving there, twenty-four men were detailed from each company to do guard duty some six miles further up the river and I had the misfortune to be one of that number. We were very much fatigued when we arrived at our destination and to make matters worse, we had neither blankets nor overcoats along, and were also without supper. The night was very cold and the dew very heavy and in consequence we had a disagreeable time of it. Our line of pickets was stationed between the river and canal, which in some places are not a hundred feet apart. We were relieved early next morning and we rode back to the Falls on a boat. The scenery at the Falls is most grand, the towering rocks, the deep roaring river and the high mountains upon the Virginia shore presenting a very picturesque appearance. But the grandest sight is the “Falls” themselves. The water dashes down over the rocks in some places more than one hundred feet and creates a terrible sound as it falls upon the rocks below. Picketing was very interesting there, as we had an opportunity of conversing with the secession pickets. As you are aware, an agreement was made between Gen. McClellan and the rebel commander to the effect that no more firing should be done between the pickets. This was very comfortable inasmuch as the lives of the pickets would not be endangered. The second day I was on duty I had quite a long and interesting confab with some of the celebrated “Black Horse Cavalry,” of the Bull Run notoriety who talked with all the familiarity of friends. Most of those with whom we were talking appeared like respectable men and seemed to regret they were compelled to be our enemies. They do not like the New England Boys, nor the Zouaves, but can “go” Pennsylvanians. Some of our boys even went across the river and talked with them and drank some of their whiskey. They are not very well uniformed, it being a rusty, ugly cloth and apparently quite well worn. This state of familiarity did not last long, however. They broke the league on Monday morning by shooting one of our pickets without the least cause or provocation. When this became known in our camp one of the field officers with thirty men repaired to the place where the picket had been shot and showered a few charges among their pickets, killing three of them. Immediately after our men commenced firing, the rebels planted seven cannon on the hill opposite our quarters about a mile distant and without any ado, commenced shelling us effectually, sending their shells and cannon balls whizzing through the old houses in which we were quartered and compelling us to vacate forthwith. They fired in all 112 shots but fortunately for us, only two or three shells exploded. One man was struck on the shoulder with a piece of shell and another had his gun bent double by a cannon ball while in the act of capping it. In consequence of our artillery being a mile distant we could not return the iron compliment. After we did get our guns into position, however, we gave them ten shells, which scattered them in every direction. We were relieved on Wednesday and arrived home late in the evening. We held an election on Tuesday, each party receiving about an equal number of votes. The boys do not appear much concerned about the result of elections now. On Wednesday we received marching orders and in the afternoon the whole division crossed the Chain Bridge into Virginia, and advanced six miles on the Leesburg road, where we are now encamped. We are within one mile of Lewinsville, eight miles from Fairfax Court House and fifteen from Leesburg. The enemy’s pickets were, on last Tuesday, at the same place we are now.

This edition of the paper was only two pages long.Two pages most likely with all the news items was not on this reel of microfilm. The Alleghanian, Ebensburg, Pa. Thursday, October 10, 1861 Volume 3, Number 3 Why Men Should Enlist The N. Y. TRIBUNE gives the following as some of the inducements that should impel loyal men to promptly enroll themselves in the army of the Union: 1. The Cause. We fight for the life of the Nation, the maintenance of free institutions and the protection of our homes and property. Patriotism, love of liberty and self-preservation call to arms. 2. Our common soldiers, under the recent act of Congress are better paid than those of any other nation. 3. The rations provided for troops have been recently increased. They are now more liberal than those given to any other army in the world. 4. The clothing furnished, we hope, will from this time onward, be of an excellent quality. The reign of “shoddy” is over. 5. Camp equipage and hospital furnishments are being placed upon the very best footing. All the modern improvements to secure the health and comfort of the men are being adopted. 6. The weapons now being supplied to all arms of the service are of the most desirable and effective patterns. 7. For all these expenditures, the Government has ample means to pay. Its treasury is full and its credit firm and unquestioned. 8. Special care is being taken to place none but competent officers in command of regiments, brigades and divisions. Imbecility and ignorance are either resigning or being forced out of the service. 9. The Autumn, with its healthy sun and bracing breezes has arrived. The Summer solstice deterred tens of thousands of Northern citizens from following their flag into the sultry rebel States. From this time onward, for the coming eight months, the country below the Potomac and the Ohio will, to our Northern troops be one long genial Autumn. 10. The harvest being over and the hard times upon us, swarms of men can find no employment so profitable viewed as mere work for hire as going into the army. This is true of traders and mechanics as well as farmers and applies with great force to the redundant population of our large cities. 11. Hereafter our troops along the frontier lines will not be compelled to fight against such an overwhelming superiority of numbers as heretofore. It is plain that henceforth the Navy is to give the traitors plenty of employment upon the Atlantic coast. The rebels will be compelled to withdraw large masses of their soldiers now in the Border States in order to defend their menaced and harassed harbors and inlets. _________________________________________________________________ See how Windows connects the people, information, and fun that are part of your life. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/msnnkwxp1020093175mrt/direct/01/

The Alleghanian, Ebensburg, Pa. Thursday, October 3, 1861 Volume 3, Number 2 To the Ladies of Cambria County As winter is rapidly approaching when our brave soldiers now in arms for the cause of Liberty and Justice will need to be provided with warm and comfortable clothing, it has been suggested that the patriotic ladies of the State be allowed to come forward and contribute a willing share to the Good Cause. Acting on this hint, the Quartermaster General of the State has issued a call for blankets and stockings, and the ladies of many counties have already formed themselves into associations to furnish the articles. The ladies of Cambria should not be behind in the matter. Four or five thousand pairs of stockings could easily be furnished and the time consumed in their manufacture scarcely be missed. Will you not interest yourself, lady reader, in this behalf? Let those knit who never knit before and those who knit, why, let them knit the more. And thus you can show your appreciation for the Government that fosters and protects you, and your solicitude and careful regard for the comfort of the volunteers that are doing battle for the perpetuity of that Government. The following official notice from the Quartermaster General explains more fully the state of the case: Headquarters, Pa. Militia Quartermaster’s Department Harrisburg, Sept. 10, 1861 Pennsylvania needs Blankets and Stockings for her 30,000 brave soldiers in arms to support the Government. Every factory capable of making Blankets even to a single loom should at once be put in operation. Liberal contracts will be given to all such. Blankets should be wool grey; 7 feet long by 5 ft. 6 in. wide and weigh full 5 pounds with the letters, P.V., in black, 4 inches long in the center of each Blanket. Stockings will be needed for the coming winter, half hose or socks, good sizes, one-fourth pound each. Let every mother, wife and sister knit one or more pairs. Let associations be formed in each county with a treasurer at the county seat with whom the stockings can be deposited and forwarded to the military store of Harrisburg. The United States contract price, twenty-five cents per pair, will be paid to each county treasurer and thus a fund can be raised to supply the wants of volunteer families to which every patriotic woman in the State can contribute her share. R. C. Hale, Quartermaster General, P. M. An Accident and Narrow Escape On last Friday, during the continuation of a heavy rain storm our old and much respected fellow townsman, John Williams, Esq., met with an accident that came well nigh proving fatal. He is the proprietor of a mill a short distance below town and was returning at the time from an inspection of the damn attached thereto, the safety of which was endangered by the unusually high water. While crossing what is commonly known as the “overshoot” or outlet by which the surplus water escapes and across which a narrow flimsy bridge had been thrown, a plank broke and precipitated him into the seething torrent beneath. So terrific was the force of the angry waters that he was swept over the falls, down into the reservoir beneath and on and on with the current, through piles of logs and brushwood and over rocks and stones, for a distance of a hundred rods or so, in almost an instant! At this point he succeeded in obtaining a foothold and although nearly drowned, managed to regain terra firma once more. He was considerably bruised by his perilous voyage but not seriously injured and at the present date is almost entirely recovered. He lost several dollars in change, a pocket-book containing valuable papers, a bunch of keys and several other articles in the stream. The preservation of Mr. W. from instant death or serious injury is indeed wonderful and can only be attributed to Providential interference. He has had many “hairbreadth escapes by flood and field” in his life, but none more narrow than this. Letters from Our Volunteers [The following letter was intended for last week’s issue, but came to hand too late for insertion. We hope our correspondents will mail their favors that we may receive them by Tuesday as that is the last day of grace for such matters.] Camp Tennally, September 23 1861 Fort Pennsylvania, on which the 11th had been working for some time recently has been completed and fifteen guns mounted. The Fort is surrounded by a ditch twelve feet wide and eight feet deep; large limbs and tree tops are placed around on the outside of the ditch, pinned to the ground, the small branches being cut off which causes it to present a very formidable appearance. There are two other Forts being built, one about one and a half miles Southeast of Fort Pennsylvania, and the other about three miles North or Northeast. They are built on elevated ground, commanding a large scope of country. The Reserve has the building of these forts. The Second Brigade builds the one North of Fort Pennsylvania. The Reserve has been divided into Brigades and Brig. Gen. Mead commands the Second, which is composed of the 3rd, 4th, 7th and 11th Regiments and Kane’s Rifles. The Rifles form the right and the 11th the left. I do not know what Regiments form the other three Brigades. On Saturday morning the different Brigades of the Reserve were viewed by Gens. McClellan and McCall. They were followed by a number of other officers and also by Prince De Joinville, his son and nephew. A very large crowd had assembled to witness the parade. The health of the troops, as a general thing, is good. There are several cases of Typhoid fever in some of the Regiments; one in the 11th and also a few cases of Ague. The following is the programme of each day: At sunrise, Reveille, at which time breakfast is to be ready; two Company and two Regimental drills per days; Dinner at one o’clock, or rather, when it suits; retreat at sunset; tattoo **[this word as appears in the newspaper] at 9 o’clock, taps at 10 o’clock. Brig. Gen. Mead is very strict with his orders, neither officers nor soldiers being permitted to pass the chain sentinels without a written pass from the Col., stating the business of the bearer. A soldier cannot go fifty rods along any of the roads from his quarters unless he has a pass without being arrested by the patrol. We have been favored with very pleasant weather for the last few days. Co. A. enjoys good health and the men are in excellent spirits. We were paid off yesterday. Each man received $15.90, ten dollars in Treasury notes, and the balance in silver.

Nice stuff. Here's Thomas's death notice. Wednesday, May 17, 1905, Daily Tribune, Johnstown, Cambria, PA Thomas J. Glass Thomas J.

Looking for the birth/date records of William Swanhart and his wife, Grace Ann. Where were they from and where were they buried. I have found it hard to find information on the Swanhart Family. One of their daughters (Grace Ann) married a cousin of mine, John Harvey Conrad

Looking for the obit or any information on: John William Kabo born March 23, 1933 - died unknown Occupation: Radio announcer; later a newscaster in the Johnstown area I believe He was first married to Marie Maloney

Looking for the obit of Grant Melhorn or at least where he is buried. I do know he died in Johnstown. He was the second husband of Irene Lenz-Maloney-Melhorn Son of Charles T. Melhorn and Mary C. Eckenrode
