16 September 2007 - a notice received...

Gravestone Dedication Ceremony to honor Cpl. Theodore W Moffett, Co. D 26th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry.

Cpl. Moffett, a Philadelphia native, was a painter, coach-maker, and mechanic who enlisted, at the age of 35, in May 1861, and was severely wounded at the battle of Gettysburg in July 1863. Returning home after the War, his crippled left arm was virtually useless due to his wounds. In spite of his injuries, he raised a family and became a proud member of the GAR. He died on Feb. 4, 1899 and was buried in Hillside Cemetery in an unmarked grave, where he lay, forgotten by all, for over 100 years.

Through the efforts of his great, great granddaughter, Anita Corcoran of Delran, NJ, a Civil War Veteran's gravestone was obtained from the VA. A ceremony to dedicate the stone will take place at 11 AM on Sat. Sept. 22nd at Hillside Cemetery, Roslyn, PA.

The ceremony will be led by Civil War re-enactors from the 26th and 28th PVI and members of the Anna M. Ross Camp #1 Sons of Union Veterans of Philadelphia and Baker-Fisher Camp #101 Sons of Union Veterans of Hatboro.

The ceremony will include a benediction, laying of a wreath on the grave, the playing of taps, and a live-fire by uniformed Civil War re-enactors.

21 August 2005 - back from a great time in Moffat for the 2005 AGM with both the US and UK groups participating. More information will follow, but I wanted to post this note from David Kennedy Moffat that I received when I enquired as to his well being after an incident with a pony drawn buggy at the Border Gathering in Dumfries on Sunday 12 August...

Glad you both got home safely and that you enjoyed yourselves and found the Gathering worthwhile, I think a lot will have come out of it in the medium to long term. The Symposium was way better than my wildest expectations, simply epic. A lot of the success of the gathering came from the atmosphere and that came from all the people attending it.

Thanks for your concern, could you tell everyone that I'm fine but was stunned and pretty sore on Sunday and had a stiff neck and jaw on Monday morning. The swelling and stiffnesss has gone though it is still a little tender round the wound. As you may know it was the pneumatic tyre that split apart just before the jump and flailed onto my neck and jaw just in front of my ear, somehow the inside of my lip got split as well. I've had worse and reckon I got off lightly considering what could have happened.

Women drivers eh !? Actually she did extremely well to keep things together and avoid a disaster.

Cheers

Dave

So it wasn't as first thought the pony that stepped on David.
