Company Origins |
Recruited in Allegheny County, but included a sizable number from Washington County. Company mustered in on 22 July 1861. Company K was filled from two sources. Eighth Ward Guards was a home guard unit that was the first company to join the 62d Pennsylvania, responding to Colonel Black's call on the 4th of July. The Eighth Ward Guards was large enough that not all of its number could fit into one company -- only 100 soldiers were allowed in a company in the Union Army. Most of the home guard unit became Company F, but the remaining members were assigned to Company K. The rest of Company K came from a unit called the Tower Zouaves that was recruited by Captain Alvin S. King in the city of Monongahela (Washington County). It was was originally going to serve in a loyal Virginia regiment. But after being sent to Wheeling, perhaps because it was only 35 in number, it was ordered to report to Pittsburg and merge into Company K. Alvin S. King accepted a demotion as First Lieutenant to the consolidated company.
As a side note: the Monongahela City Council voted to appropriate $25 to assist defraying expenses of the Zouaves as it prepared to leave for Virginia, but only if it mustered 40 or more volunteers. Since it fell short of that number, the money was withheld.
The Centennial identifies the following individuals as members of "The Battalion from Monongahela City": Alvin King (1st Lt.), James A. McGrew (Sgt), Moses Arthurs, John Boyd, John B. Baker, Thomas Canfield, Elijah Crall, Joseph W. Flenneken, Joshua Fox, Charles Gibbs, William Gibbs, Meshech Haywood, James Maloy, Robert Milby, Theodore McCain, Jefferson McClean, Thomas McElroy, William Stoops, Thomas Orr Scott, Carr Truxall, Lewis Workman, Cyrus Workman. [Note: this source incorrectly identifies Company K as Company D, so I don't know how trustworthy it is on the names of individuals.].
The Veteran Reserve Corps, originally called the Invalid Corps, was the military body to which soldiers were transferred when they were not healthy enough to be sent back to their original unit, but not sick or disabled enough to be sent home.

Alexander W. McDonald |
Captain |
Wounded during Peninsular Campaign as indicated by his being listed on the register of Sick and Wounded Prisoners of War from Pennsylvania Delivered on Parole at City Point, Va., July 19, 1862, signed by Jas. D. Cullen, Chief Surgeon of General Longstreet's Corps, C. S. A. Remarks indicated his wound was "Thigh." Resigned 16 December 1862. Civil War Veterans' Card File, 1861-1866: Age at Enrollment: 32; Occupation: Gentleman; Residence: Allegheny County; Hair: Brown; Eyes: Blue; Complexion: Fair; Height: 5'8" Remarks: Resigned 12-16-62 While in winter quarters near Falls Church, Virginia, drilling and waiting to see action, McDonald must have received notice of the death of his daughter Alice. On 17 November 1861, he penned a poem that serves as a fine epithet for not just his daughter but many of the volunteers serving with Captain McDonald who did not survive the end of the war. "Lines suggested by the death of my daughter Alice." Died 26 February 1869. Buried in Saint Mary's Roman Catholic Cemetery, Lawrenceville, Pa. Thanks to Kelly Hansen, of London, Ontario, the current owner of the poem for his persmission to post a copy on this site. Thanks also to Brent Wiancko for notifying me of his existence and other students at Huron University College, London, Ontario, for transcribing it. The original is found in the college's archives. |
