Another veteran of the Civil War,
in the person of Charles W, Smith:
has gone over to the Silent Majority.
His death, which came at an early
hour on Wednesday morning, was not
unexpected. For several months past health has been precarious, In fact since the trip to Gettysburg in
July last. His life for several times hung in the balance

On this farm he lived and worked until the breaking out of the

Veteran Smith was attached to A,known throughout the regiment as the
Sklllers. This company was officered as follows: Captain, A. A. Crookston;lieutenant, George W. Smith; second lieutenant, Richard Montgomery Gilleo, a veteran of the Mexican War.
Oct. 6, 1862, the order was issued changing the name and number of the
135th to that, of the Sixth N. Y. Heavy Artillery, and one that soon became historic,
Comrade Smith was known through the out his services as a brave, faithful and willing soldier, ready at all times to answer the call of duty, The regiment took part during its term of service in the battles of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Salient, Harris House, North Anna River, Topotonomy Cold Harbor, Assault on Petersburgh, Cedar Creek, and the campaign In the valley. Returning to
Bermuda Hundred In December, 1864,and winding up by the capture of Petersburg and Richmond, Comrade Smith, dangerously wounded at Harris House May 19, 1864. he was sent later to the hospital In Washington, D. C„ was honorably discharged there from Dec 19, 1864, on account of disability A confinement of seven months In the hospital left him an almost complete nervous wreck. His courage and pluck never deserted him He suffered greatly at, times from the
effects of his wounds, and during the greater part of his life suffered from severe neuralgic attacks
He married Miss McCoy, of Annsville
Mr. Smith was mustered Into Abraham
Voshurg Post No.95 GAR of this village
On June 30,1900 he accompanied that organization
to Gettysburg, Pa., and took part In the reunion of the blue and the Grey on the that battleground of fifty years ago.
The great heat nearly prostrated him on that occasion and he never
fully recovered from the effects of that
otherwise pleasant trip

In 1867 he began receiving a Civil War pension of $18.00/month for gunshot wound of the left shoulder and jaw.
