2nd Lieutenant John Thompson Reilly of Company F, 90th Pennsylvania Infantry was wounded at Antietam in September 1862. His photograph is from the collection of Scott Hann.

George H. Good served in three Pennsylvania units during the war: the 19th, 90th, and 202nd Infantry regiments, rising to 2nd Lieutenant in September 1864. He was Sergeant, Company C of the 90th Infantry when he was wounded in his left thigh at Antietam on 17 September 1862.

After the war he was one of the first letter carriers in Allentown and was a salesman at the C. A. Dorney Furniture Company for 30 years. The sales piece seen here is typical of the period of George’s employ with them.

William H Paul was a 17 year old Private in Company E of the 90th Pennsylvania Infantry when he fought to protect and carry his unit’s colors at Antietam on 17 September 1862. His actions are described in his own words on this page from Beyer & Keydel’s Deeds of Valor: How America’s Heroes Won the Medal of Honor (1901) – he was awarded the Medal in 1896.

15 year old Willie Evans fought at Sharpsburg in September 1862 with Captain Parker’s Richmond Battery – “the youngest of all, and the cheeriest and pluckiest of all.” After the war he was an accountant in Richmond and died at age 92 in 1939 – the last surviving member of the battery. His portraits here are from William E. Mickle’s Well Known Confederate Veterans and their War Records (1915).

Ned Duffey was a Private with Parker’s Richmond Battery at Sharpburg and was wounded in action there. He was promoted to Sergeant in March 1864 but was a Private again in November. In 1864 he was court-martialed for insubordination (verdict not known) and he ended the war with Woolfolk’s Battery.

This photograph taken of him in September 1925, along with two others – seated hatless, and a bust view – now at the Library of Congress, along with an affirmative reply of 27 January 1900 from General James Longstreet to a letter of Duffey’s.
