W. Eby of Carlisle, was a member of Co. A. When the alarm of war sounded he was ready to do and die for his country. Although most too young, he importioned his friends to let him share the lot of a soldier—Sergt Eby was one of the noble young men who left Carlisle on the 6th of June, 1861, as a member of the Carlisle Fencibles(?), commanded by Capt. R. M. Henderson. With that Company he participated in the memorable Seven Days Battles in front of Richmond and afterward in the battles of Bull Run, South Mountain, Antietam and Fredericksburg, behaving in every engagement with a steady coolness and courage, which won the warmest commendation of his commanding officers. In camp and on the battlefield he was like a true & faithful soldier. He was promoted from the ranks to a Sergeants position and nobly did he deserve it. Sergt Eby had passed through battle after battle, and soon the time of his enlistment would be ended when he could return home to enjoy rest after his long and perilous service. But in the battles in the Wilderness he along with almost the entire 7th Regiment were taken prisoner and marched south ward to endure the heathen barbarity of southern traitors and slavedrivers after months of hopes and fears news last reached the patriotic father that his brave son had fallen a victim to the hellish cruelty practiced in Southern prisons upon our noble sons and brothers. It was a hard stroke to lose a brave boy and an affectionate son—to linger and die by the slow torture of starvation in a southern prison but like a true Christian and patriot the father meekly bowed to the will of the Ruler of the Universe and exclaimed, “he died for his country–the will of the Lord be done.”
