Notes:

Grist-Mills. - The first grist-mill in the valley occupied the site of the mill now owned by J. K. Meyer,
Centre Mills. It was a small log building having but two pairs of home-made millstones, one pair of which was used for chop and the other for flour. The bolt-reel was turned by hand. It was built and owned by a Mr. Kreamer, states Mr. John Hoy (who is now eighty-seven years of age, and gave a number of facts mentioned in this sketch). When this mill was built cannot be ascertained definitely, but it was prior to 1798, for in that year Col. Henry Meyer did some repairing in it, as is seen by entries in his old account-book. In the same year Mr. Meyer made some repairs at John Motz's mill, Penn's Valley.
The old mill was purchased by Tobias Pickle when he came into the valley, and it was replaced by the present stone mill. It was built in 1802 or 1803, according to recollection of Henry Meyer, whose father. Col. Meyer, made the millwright work. The story that it took seventy-five barrels of whiskey to build his mill is probably an exaggeration. The mill now owned by Daniel Walker was built in 1819. It occupies the site of one built about the year 1802, which was burned down. Mr. Daniel Dubbs, of York County, built it in the first place, and it was subsequently owned by his son Oswald.
The first mill on the site of William Meyer's present mill was built by Christopher Royer in 1819. In the year following (1820) Abraham Reber erected a gristmill near Madisonburg, on the farm now owned by Reuben Grimm. It was burned down not long after, and a distillery along with it, which had been in operation as early as the year 1803. Philip Wolfart erected a grist-mill on his farm (later Snook's) in 1824. It was not kept in repair for want of custom. At Gramly's Gap used to be a small flouring-mill, which was subsequently changed into a fulling-mill. At Madisonburg there is at present a small grist-mill in operation. Wolf's mill was erected in 1834 by Anthony Wolf. It is a fine stone mill, and in good repair. An oil-mill used to be at the same place.
Before there were any grist-mills in Brush valley the early settlers took their grain to Kishacoquillas valley to have it ground. They went by way of Penn's Creek Springs, at the west end of the valley. The Ertles, - Valentine, Daniel, and Philip, - who were among the first settlers about the present neighborhood of Madisonburg, cut a path across the mountains into Penn's valley, and took their grain on horse-back to the valley above stated. Their route through the Seven Mountains and the pike from Stover's across, it is said, followed nearly the same general direction. Later Mr. Hubler erected a small mill some distance below Aaronsburg, and the grain of Brush Valley was then taken there to be ground until the 1 small mill at Centre Mills was put in operation.

Company C in particular was recruited in the area surrounding the Agricultural College of Pennsylvania (today known as Pennsylvania State University) and included many of the college's students.[1] The regiment was filled out with a company each from Clarion, Jefferson, and Indiana Counties.[2] Once companies were raised, the regiment was organized at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and mustered in for a three-year enlistment on September 8, 1862, under the command of Colonel James Addams Beaver."
