Soldier's Notes
Sergeant George Washington Mohney was from Clearfield, Pennsylvania. He was born February 22, 1840, enlisted December 12, 1861, and was mustered out July 14, 1865.
Private John H. Mace, Co. C, left his home in Virginia to join the regiment on December 12, 1864 in Scranton as he was determined to fight for the Union. He fought in the Breakthrough Battle at Petersburg on April 2, 1865 where he was wounded, but participated in the Sixth Corp pursuit of Lee to the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox. Private Mace was mustered out at Washington, D.C. on July 14, 1865.
Alexander Duncan enlisted at a sergeant in the regiment, was captured at the Battle of Winchester and later paroled in Richmond. He was listed as AWOL with his company and spent months getting back in the Army’s good graces. He was given a commission of Lt in the US Army 45th Colored Infantry, company C, but had to resign and hire a “waiter” as his mother was ill and had no one to care for her. Alexander Duncan was a school teacher and because he was literate he moved up quickly in all his endeavors. You can see his beautiful handwriting when you view the Labette Country Census as he was the local census enumerator. He moved to Kansas after the War, served as a State Legislator, and held other public positions in Labette County, Kansas as well as being founder of the Labette County Historical Society.
Private Hugh Frail, Company E, was captured at the Wilderness on 5 May 1864 and was a prisoner at Andersonville until he was marched to Camp Lawton in October of 1864. He was released on 20 November 1864 (due to health), paroled on 21 November 1864, admitted to the hospital on 4 December 1864, then transfered to US General Hospital Satterlee in West Philadelphia on 31 January 1865. He was mustered out of the 67th Pennsylvania on 14 June 1865 by AG order dated 4 May 1865.
