Civil War Soldier
Corporal Company H 28th Pennsylvania Infantry
Enrolled June 14, 1861, at Pittsburg. Veteran, having re-enlisted Dec 24, 1863.
Killed in action at the battle of Peach Tree Creek, Ga., July 20, 1864.
...July 17, marched at 3 p.m., crossing the Chattahoochee River on pontoons about 9 p.m. and halted at near midnight, and on the 19th we marched forward again, crossing Peach Tree Creek about 6 p.m. Worked briskly during the night on our breastworks, which were used well in the stirring battle of the 20th. On this eventful day we occupied a hill or ridge about a mile in front of the main line and were engaged in strengthening our position, when, at about 3 p.m. the enemy appeared in heavy force in our front and a sanguinary battle immediately began, resulting in a temporary advantage to the enemy in his having achieved a position on our flank, from which we suffered considerable loss. But this lasted only for a brief space of time, our troops advancing and gallantly driving them back with terrible slaughter in their ranks. It is with regret that we have to record the fall of a gallant officer and accomplished gentleman, Lieut. Isaiah B. Robison, Company A, and Capt. F. B. M. BonsaI, severely, and Second Lieut. F. McFall, slightly, wounded. Our loss in the regiment was 3 commissioned officers and 15 enlisted men killed, wounded, and missing.
