CHAPTER XXVI
COMPANY H, ONE HUNDRED AND THIRD REGIMENT P.V.
Recruiting – To the Field – Services – Roll
This company was recruited principally in the western part of Clarion county, by Captain James F. Mackey. It was mustered into the United States service at Kittanning February 22, 1862. Captain Mackey rose to be major, but was never mustered, and First Lieutenant George W. King was commissioned captain, but not mustered. Bearing an active and honorable part in the various engagements in which the regiment participated, Company H suffered various losses.
Not being able to present a completely correct roll of the company, it is copied just as Bates gives it.
At the time of its capture at Plymouth the company mustered about fifty men, of whom twelve or fourteen died in prison, or immediately after being released. The company was mustered out June 25, 1865.
