Note from the 111th., regimental history.

 

In the gallant advance made by the One Hundred and Eleventh Pennsylvania Volunteers to the very teeth of the fort, from which grape and canister were being hurled upon our advancing columns, Captain Charles Woeltge, while leading his company, and with his hands almost on the enemy's guns, was shot dead. Never did the service lose a better or a braver officer, or one more devoted to the cause that will ever consecrate his memory. All who knew him will testify to the faithful man ner in which he discharged every duty that devolved upon him in the camp, and to the intrepid gallantry that marked his conduct in the field. In the memorable assault on Lookout Mountain, and in the deadly midnight conflict at Wauhatchie, that relieved our Chattanooga army from grave peril, he was conspicuous for coolness and courage, and on this last day, when he gave his life for his country, he was in advance of the line of battle and encouraging his men to follow.

Hyde, a prominent and wealthy citizen of Ridgway, Elk County. He was a good soldier, and his death was lamented by many friends. He was only twenty years of age.
