As Veteran's Day approaches, I would like to recall the service of my Great, Great, Grand Uncle George William Huth. His record as a Civil War veteran is quite interesting. He entered the service on December 2, 1861, as a private of Company A, Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry, and was detailed to Pottsville as a member of the recruiting service from April 3 to 27th, 1862 as an acting sergeant. He was promoted to Artificer of October 27, 1863. During the war he served with the First Brigade, Second Division, Eighth Corps of the Middle Department, from February 3 to July 8, 1863, being transferred then to the Second Brigade, Second Division, Cavalry Corp of the Army of the Potomac, remaining in that brigade till February 17, 1865, when he was transferred to the Third Division of the Cavalry and Military of the Mississippi Army, remaining with that division till July 8, 1865. During the war, Mr. Huth was twice captured, the first time on June 15, 1863, at Winchester, Va., and he was imprisoned on Belle Isle and at Castle Thunder, in Richmond. He was again captured at St. Mary's Church, Va., and imprisoned in Richmond, Danville, Andersonville, Charleston, Savannah, and Florence Hill Prisons till March 1, 1865. He was injured in a fall from his horse on February 14, 1864, his head being injured in the fall. Mr. Huth was discharged from the service on June 1st, 1866. He later was employed as a miner in Schuylkill County. He died on January 12, 1929 at the age of 90, survived by nine grandchildren, seven great grandchildren and several brothers and sisters including, Mrs. Elizabeth Hillanbrand.
