On June 28, 1860 the U.S. Census listed Jerome, age 22, living in Perry County near Landisburg with George M. Bryner, age 28, and both working as blacksmiths.
Jerome enlisted on 19 September 1861 as a Private in Company H, 47th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. He received a disability discharge on 11 July 1864.
After being discharged from the Army, Jerome operated a photography studio in New Bloomfield. We don't have a picture of Jerome, but we do have several of his photographs, taken between 1865 and 1872.

The son of Jacob & Lydia Briner or Bryner, he is listed in the 1860 census as a blacksmith living with and/or working for blacksmith George M. Bryner in Spring Township, Perry County, Pennsylvania. He stood 5' 11" tall and had light hair and blue eyes.
A Civil War veteran, he enlisted in Elliottsburg, Perry County, August 21, 1861, and mustered into federal service at Harrisburg September 19 as a private with Co. H, 47th Pennsylvania Infantry. At the battle of Pocotaligo Bridge October 22, 1862, he was shot through the lower left leg, the bullet exiting and lodging in his right leg. He was admitted to the hospital at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, that same day, and returned to duty December 5, 1862, destined to die with the bullet still lodged in his right leg. Later admitted to Barracks U.S. Hospital, New Orleans, Louisiana, for treatment of "chronic diarrhea," he there discharged the service by surgeon's certificate July 11, 1864, for being "emaciated & debilitated."
The dysentery (as the so called "chronic diarrhea" actually was) never left him, and he died at his sister's home in Duncannon, Perry County, weighing a meager 113 lbs., a full 85 lbs. less than his enlistment weight.
Jerome enlisted on 19 September 1861 as a Private in Company H, 47th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. He received a disability discharge on 11 July 1864.
After being discharged from the Army, Jerome operated a photography studio in New Bloomfield. We don't have a picture of Jerome, but we do have several of his photographs, taken between 1865 and 1872.
