COMPANY F, SIXTY-THIRD REGIMENT.
63rd Regiment
After the fatal Chantilly, where the heroic Kearney fell, Colonel Hays was promoted to brigadier-general on the 29thof September, and Lieutenant-Colonel Morgan became colonel. Hays won his promotion by his gallant conduct at Bull Run. The company assisted in the defense of Washington till after Antietam. It joined the army near Leesburg, and moved with it to Warrenton. At Fredericksburg it went to the front on the 13th of December, and remained there forty-eight hours under fire till the 15th, when it was relieved, and late at night fell back with the entire army across the river. Its loss was light. William M. Thompson was captured, and Benjamin P. Hilliard, one of the musicians, was wounded. In the battle of Chancellorsville the company was less fortunate. Captain McCullough, First Lieutenant Fenstermacher, Corporal Joseph Loll and Stewart Fulton, and Private James McDonald were wounded on the 3d of May. McDonald was discharged on account of wounds.
The company next took part in the battle of Gettysburg. General Sickles now commanded the corps. On the 1st of July the men could hear the cannon in the contest where the brave Reynolds fell. On receiving the news of the death of Reynolds, Sickles hastened his men forward and reached the battle field at ten o'clock that night. The corps went into bivouac on the Emmittsburg Pike. Scarcely had the men lain down when an order came for the Sixty-third to go on the picket line. On the 2nd the brigade was brought into position on the pike to the right of the cross road leading to Round Top. The Sixty-third was thrown forward on the skirmish line, and was hotly engaged till five o'clock in the afternoon, when it was ordered to the rear to replenish its ammunition, which had been expended. It also needed rest, as it had been on the extreme front and constantly engaged for seven terrible hours. The regiment spent the night of the 2nd on picket to the right of Little Round Top. The dead of our soldiers lay thick around. On the 3d at ten o'clock the regiment was double-quicked to support a battery in the immediate front of Meade's headquarters, where it remained till the battle closed. The loss was slight when we take into consideration its exposed position and the length of time it was engaged. Company F had Lieutenant Fenstermacher, Sergeant John A. Griffin, Corporal Adam Potter, and Private P.D. Griffin wounded, At Kelly's Ford and Mine Run the company met with no casualties.
The regiment was later engaged at North Anna River, and again after it crossed Pole-cat River, but Company F sustained no loss. On the 16th of June, before Petersburg, Lieutenant Fenstermacher was wounded. At Petersburg also Anthony Torry was wounded with loss of leg. The regiment suffered severely. Captain Moorhead was among the slain. Colonel Kiddoo, formerly of Company F, commanded a regiment of colored troops, and won distinction by capturing a fort from the enemy, in front of Petersburg. After this no casualties were sustained by the company, and it was mustered out on the 8th of September, 1864.
Since their discharge, the following members of Company F have died. This list may not be complete, but it is given in full as far as known now (January, 1887): Lieutenant Lawrence Egan died in Baltimore in 1862; Joseph Lichtenberger, bugler, died in Licking township, Clarion county, May 18, 1875; First Lieutenant Isaac Fenstermacher died at Clarion December 27, 1877; Sergeant John A. Griffen died at Red Bank Furnace, Clarion county, in April, 1866; Sergeant William L. Hall died in Piney township, Clarion county, about 1864. Privates - John Johnston died at Strattanville, Clarion county, February 14, 1865; Gregory Lawrence died at Jamestown, N.Y., in 1881; Daniel O'Neill died in the West somewhere about 1875; Anthony Torry died at Clarion April 22,1884; Sergeant Andrew McDonald died at North Pine Grove, Clarion county, March 9, 1883. General Joseph B. Kiddoo died in New York City August 20, 1880. The readers of this sketch will recognize many of the survivors of this company among their friends and neighbors.
