Sergt. Chas. “"Charlie”" M. Law [Co. E, 148th PA] —Enlisted August 12, 1862; Corporal October 1, 1863; Sergeant September 24, 1864; wounded at Po River May 10, 1864; mustered out with company June 1, 1865.
Brother of Daniel C. Law and Joseph H. “Harry” Law. Joseph was a bugler in the regiment, and was the last man in the regiment killed in the Civil War, near Farmville, Virginia on April 7, 1865. He was buried in an unmarked grave.
During the Second Battle of Deep Bottom (August 14-20, 1864), Charles was “prostrated by sunstroke or something similar” after being engaged with his company in battle. His brothers carried him to the field hospital, Harry going back to the Regiment and Daniel staying with his brother who was unconscious. He finally succeeded in getting a surgeon to look at his brother, and was told, "If you can get some whiskey down his throat, that, if anything, will revive him." After administering treatment for several hours, Daniel was able to revive Charles. Harry, who had joined the Regiment, had taken the time to write home, telling his parents that Charlie was dead, but Daniel, not knowing what he had written, wrote later, giving them the real facts as they were known to him, which he mailed after getting Charlie to the hospital at City Point. Both letters were received by the parents in the same mail.
