The Forest Republican, Tionesta, Forest, Pennsylvania. Wednesday, October 19, 1898; p3.
The late E. S. Rudy
Mr. Eminger S. Rudy of Tylersburg died in Pittsburg on Monday morning, Oct. 10, 1898. Deceased went to Pittsburg on Tuesday, Oct. 4th, accompanied by his wife, to have an operation performed. The operation took place on Friday, Oct. 7th and he died as above stated. Mr. Rudy was born in Huntingdon, Pa., Nov. 14, 1842. He married Julia C. Pettigrew, of Hickory, Pa., in 1877, and in 1882 settled in Forest Co. He served almost continually in the war of the rebellion, first in Co. A, 83d, P.V., second in Co. B, 13th, P V, cavalry. He was wounded in the head, also in the side at the battle of Gettysburg; taken prisoner near Weldon R. R., and held at Savanna, then transferred to Andersonville, from where he made his escape, and was afterwards picked up by Sherman's army.
The disease for which the operation was performed was the result of one of his wounds. Comrade Rudy was an expert filer, and mill man. He was followed to his grave by a large concourse of people. On the left of the pulpit, in the church, sat, a small group of comrades, a remnant of that Grand Army, with which comrade Rudy marched into many a bloody battle. The coffin was draped with the stars and stripes that our comrade loved so well. The funeral was conducted by the writer (one of the boys in blue), the text was Psalm 90-12.
