Top. The enemy was in a wooded area across an oat field, when their shells
started bombarding the 63rd. Alexander was killed by a shell, the only one of

regiment that was intended for service for the state of PA, but the PA quota
was full, and the regiment became instead the 2nd West Virginia Infantry. They
were mustered into service at Wheeling on 24 June 1861. The regiment took part
in battles on the summits of the Allegheny Mountains in Virginia, and were at
the second Bull Run. The men were eventually mounted and the regiment was re-
designated the 2nd West Virginia Cavalry. William was promoted to Sergeant and
mustered out with the regiment on 30 June 1864. He married his wife Catherine
after the war. They lived in Etna and raised at least 4 children while William
worked in a rolling mill. He died in Etna at 625 Butler Street at age 80 of
