Pa 148th Regiment Vol Infantry

Winter weather will begin earlier on Friday than most apps show. While the storm may not appear to start quickly, these times indicate when freezing rain (for most of us), sleet, or snow will begin. If you need to pick up groceries, earlier in the day is certainly better!

Temperatures are already crashing, and ice will begin to accrue as soon as precipitation begins. Also with ice, light freezing rain can often accrue faster than heavy rain. So be very careful if you must go out tomorrow!

My brother passed away 2weeks ago.He was out deer hunting and didn't return home. They did a search for him and found him deceased about 200 yards from his home.
We both shared an interest in Battle of Gettysburg. I show you a picture of General Meade. He was born on my brother's birthday and died on my birthday.What are the odds of that happening?

VETERANS of the 148th will be honored at Union Cemetery.

I took a walk through Union Cemetery in Bellefonte yesterday.

Stopped by Robert Forster grave today. He was Capt of Co. C 148TH and was killed at Gettysburg. I think his grave needs some cleaning up and I'll try to get that done. Here is his story.

Here is picture of Peter Frantz's pension going to his mother. March 12 1880. On the bottom the date of his death. Sept 3 1864.

Here is some information about Daniel Webster Woodring.

This year I will be participating in Wreaths Across America. I will be at the Union Cemetery in Bellefonte on December 13 and I will be placing a wreath on Civil War Veteran Daniel Webster Woodring. Daniel was in 148th Co. H. Peter and Jacob Frantz were cousins. To put in context, my 3rd great grandmother, was Daniel Woodring's Aunt. Daniel was wounded at Chancellorsville and had to have his arm amputated and was discharged on a medical disability.

In 1870 census, he was the Sheriff of Centre County.

Also, that weekend Bellefonte will be celebrating their annual Victorian Christmas festivities. Please come if u can make it. Ride the train, drink hot chocolate and take a in the site of beautiful wreaths at Union Cemetery which will honor all our veterans buried there.
