Captain Evans Rice Brady was killed in action at Turner’s Gap on South Mountain on 14 September 1862 while commanding Company K of the 11th Pennsylvania Reserves. He’s pictured here with his father and grandfather, on a page from William G. Murdock’s Brady Family Reunion and Fragments of Brady History and Biography (1909), online from the Internet Archives.

Here’s a pair of before-and-after photographs of Daniel Kistler, Jr. on a page in From Burg of Greene in Pictures Seen (1927), online from the University of Pittsburgh. Kistler, from Greenburg, PA and Captain of Company H, 11th Pennsylvania Reserves, was captured at Gaines’ Mill, VA in June 1862 and held at Libby Prison in Richmond, VA until exchanged in August.

Very soon afterward, on 17 September, he was mortally wounded in action at Antietam. He died on the 28th.

This somewhat fuzzy photograph is of 2nd Lieutenant Walter Forward Jackson who was in command of his Company, “G” of the 11th Pennsylvania Reserves when he was killed in action at Turner’s Gap on South Mountain on 14 September 1862. He was about 20 years old. The photograph looks to have been printed in a book, but I haven’t yet found the volume. This copy was posted to his Findagrave memorial.

Captain Daniel S Porter, Company B, 11th Pennsylvania Reserves led his tiny Company in action on South Mountain on the 14 September and at Antietam on the 17th, and may have been slightly wounded in the head there. Afterward he wrote:

When I looked around at that gallant little band of eight that had followed me into that murderous fight [at Antietam] but three were left …

He was later Lieutenant Colonel of the regiment but was wounded at Gettysburg and resigned his commission soon after. He was honored by brevet to Colonel in March 1865.

This is a post-war photograph of Porter when he was a lawyer in Indiana County, PA and founding trustee of the Indiana Normal School (now Indiana U of PA). It’s from the University Archives, Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

Captain Everard Bierer, Company F, 11th Pennsylvania Reserves was wounded at Turner’s Gap on South Mountain in September 1862. While recovering he was assigned to command Camp Curtin in Harrisburg. After organizing 5 new regiments there he was commissioned Colonel of one – the 171st Pennsylvania Infantry. He mustered out with them in September 1863 then served 3 months with the Veteran Reserve Corps in early 1864.

He was a farmer, lawyer, and politician in Kansas after the war. His picture here is from a panel of photographs of members of the Kansas House of Representatives for 1868, online from the Kansas Historical Society.
