General Notes: Husband - Albert Copley

---

He was a soldier in the Civil War; a member of the 78th Pennsylvania Volunteer In-fantry, he was wounded by an exploded shell at the battle of Stone River, Tennessee, and cap-tured. He and his fellow prisoners were put on board a train and carried southward nearly to the border of Florida. There they were turned back, to be taken to Richmond, be-cause some Union forces had in the mean-time come near to that part of the Gulf States. Although Albert Copley was not mortally wounded, 1,200 miles of continuous traveling was more than he was able to bear. When the returning train got as far as Knoxville, Tennessee, he was taken off and put into a hos-pital. There he wrote his father a short let-ter, giving the above facts, and spoke hope-fully of his recovery. But very soon after-ward came another letter, from some one else, informing his father of his death, but giving no particulars. The father wrote to his cap-tain and to General Negley, then in command of the division, but though both sent kind replies they could give no information concern-ing him after his capture, and he sleeps in an unknown grave.
