Frederick Huber, Sergeant, mustered August 2, 1861, for 3 years. Died from wounds May 31, 1862.
The following is takeh fron the 23rd., Regimental History.
Fred. Huber, First Sergeant Company F, was killed at Fair Oaks, and was buried where he fell. A few weeks after the fight his father, Dr. Huber, of Gettysburg, came down to take his remains home. Volunteers went out and disinterred the body, carrying it to Savage Station, where it was shipped North and buried in Evergreen Cemetery at Gettysburg where a tombstone was placed over his grave. During the battle of Gettysburg, General Hunt, in charge of the artillery, in stationing the batteries in the Cemetery ordered the tombstones to be laid down. As a young sapling grew in front of Huber's resting place, his tombstone was left standing and it was the only tombstone that was damaged during the artillery duel. The family, when they brought his bodv to Gettysburg, never thought a battle would wage all round that then quiet section, but such is War!

Aaron W. Ebright, A Premonition Of Death
Lieutenant Colonel Aaron W. Ebright, 126, Ohio Infantry,, Age 39. Enlisted September 27, 1862, for 3 years. Pomoter from Major February 16, 1861; wounded May 12, 1864, in battle of Spottsylvania, Virginia. Killed September 19, 1864, in battle of Opequan, Virginia.
Colonel Ebright had a premonition of his death. A few moments before 12 m. he sought me, and coolly told me he would be killed before the battle ended. He insisted upon telling me that he wanted his remains and effects sent to his home in Lancaster, Ohio, and I was asked to write his wife as to some property in the West which he feared she did not know about. He was impatient when I tried to remove the thought of imminent death from his mind. A few moments later the time for another advance came and the interview with Colonel Ebright closed.
In less than ten minutes, while he was riding near me, he fell dead from his horse, pierced in the breast by a rifle-ball. His apprehension of death was not prompted by fear. He had been through the slaughters of the Wilderness and Cold Harbor, had fought his regiment in the dead-angle of Spottsylvania, and led it at Monocacy. It is needless to say I complied with his request.

Charles J. Channer, 7th Iowa Infantry.
Charles J. Channer, Co. B., seventh Iowa, Infantry, Age 20. Residence Chickasaw, nativity Canada. Enlisted January 3, 1862. Mustered February 18, 1862. Promoted Seventh Corporal APRIL 15, 1862. Killed in the battle of Corinth, October 4, 1862. Buried in Union Nantional Cemetery, Corinth, Mississippi, SECTION 501, GRAVE 3.
The following is given by Captain H. I. Smith, from his book on the history of the Seventh Infantry.
I was orderly sergeant of Co. "B" and present with the company; in the battle on the first day the color guards were all killed or wound ed, making it necessary to make new details for the next day; the Adjutant called for a sergeant from company "B." It was my duty as the orderly sergeant to make the selection; I had no sergeant for duty and as it was corporal Channers next turn for duty, I detailed him. He seemed to have a premonition that if he went he would be Killed and so stated, saying if it was his turn for detail he would go if I said so. I convinced him it was his turn and he reluctantly went, saying he knew he would be killed. He was killed before noon bravely defending the flag. He was a noble specimen of a robust, intelligent, volunteer soldier and I have always felt condemned for doing my duty in sending him in the face of his conviction.

Charles Hathaway, 24th., New York, Artillery.
Charles Hathaway, Perry, enlisted August 29, 1862. Mustered in at Buffalo, August 30th, 1862. Was taken prisoner at Plymouth, and died at Andersonville Hospital, of chronic diarrhoea, June 12th. The number of his grave is 1,891.
Charley was one of those who, at the time of the last accession to the Battery, had made up their minds to enter the army ; and whether they went with the Battery or with some other organization, was of secondary con sideration.
He made a good soldier. lie had entered the ranks with the right spirit. He was a pacifier at our outbursts of impatience and resentment at supposed wrongs.
He was fond of the good things of this world, and none appreciated the gifts from home more than he ; but he was always ready to share with his fellows.
He saw but little of the sufferings at Andersonville, as he was the seventh man that died there. He had suffered from miasmatic fever at Plymouth, and was in no condition to undergo such a change of climate, and want of proper food.
He was serene, willing and prepared to die ; and gave us the few loving words to his parents and his friends, with the calmness of one who felt assured of a heavenly home.

| Push to enlarge. |
(A boy soldier.)
Henry Lineback, of Company C, was among the youngest if not the very youngest soldier in the Thirteenth Tennessee Cavalry. He was in his fifteenth year when he enlisted and small to his age. When taken to the mustering officer he stood on a small box that made him look as tall as the other boys the mustering officer not perceiving the deception, mustered him in. This was June 3, 1864, and from that day until the Regiment was mustered out of service Henry never flinched from any duty. He drilled, stood guard and did all other duties, carrying his carbine and sabre and was always aamong the first on the firing line and the last to leave it.
He was in every skirmish and battle in whicli the Regiment was engaged, and went through the Stoneman raid into Virginia in the winter of 1864.
He was also on the long raid through Virginia, North and South Carolina and Georgia in the spring of 1865, when the command was in pursuit of President Davis. In the fight at Witheville, Va., it fell to his lot to hold horses while the rest of the company fought, being a fourth man, but he exchanged places with a comrade and fought on the firing line.
Henry Lineback belongs to a fighting family, having had two brothers and three uncles in the Federal army.
He was born in Johnson county, Tennessee. After the war he engaged in the mercantile business at Crab Orchard, Tenn., after spending two years in the West. He lived in Mitchell county, N. C, twelve years and represented that county in the legislature of the State. He came back to Crab Orchard, Tenn., and from there to Lineback, Carter county, Tenn., his present home. He married Miss Lottie Wilson, of Carter county. They have ten children living and one dead. "Henry," as he is known to everybody, has been "on the move" since boyhood and is a successful business man and has an elegant home and large farm situated on Elk Creek near the beautiful Watauga river, where he entertains his friends and comrades in royal style with the best the land affords.
