Joseph Edwards
[Hoptak Collection] 



From the Miners' Journal, July 9, 1864:
Joseph Edwards, 1st Lieutenant of Company I, 48th Reg., P.V.V. who was wounded in three places before Petersburg on the 17th of June, died in hospital in Washington on the 2nd of July instant, and was buried at Schuylkill Haven on Wednesday last. His was age was 37 years, 7 months and 7 days, and he leaves a wife and five children to mourn their loss. He served in the 48th Regiment from the time it first entered the service, and was in ten engagements. The remains were attended to the grave by the members of the Middleport Lodge, No. 474, I.O.of O.F. of which he was a highly respected member; by the Pottsville Cornet Band; General James Nagle, and other military gentlemen. Rev. Messrs. Klein, Kuntz, and Swindells conducted the religious services at the grave.

            Lieut. Edwards was one of the most patriotic men in this County. Before his death he said that he was willing to die in so noble a cause as the one in which he fell. He knew that the rebels who were the cause of his death would suffer in the future for their crimes. 


From the Miners' Journal, July 23, 1864:

Obituary
            At a meeting of Middleport Lodge, No. 474, I.O.O.F., held July 8th, 1864, at Middleport, Pa., the following preamble and resolutions were adopted.
            Whereas, Our later Brother, Joseph Edwards, was among those who went forth to defend our Government against the traitors who sought to destroy it; and
            Whereas, He fought bravely and passed through many engagements unharmed, and for his noble was promoted to the rank of 1st Lieutenant, But God, for some wise design, permitted him to be cut down during a severe engagement with the enemy in front of Petersburg, Va., and after lingering in pain and suffering a period of a few weeks, death put an end to his sufferings. Therefore,
            Resolved, That while we bow in humble submission to the will of God, knowing that whatsoever He doeth is well done, we cannot do otherwise than deeply mourn the loss of our beloved Brother.
            Resolved, That in the death of P.G. Joseph Edwards this Lodge has lost a valuable member of the fraternity, a true Brother, and our country a brave and valuable defender.
            Resolved, That we truly sympathize with the widow and family of the deceased in this, their irreparable loss.
            Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the widow and family of the deceased, and also to the Miners Journal, for publication.

Jim Willauer said...

Jeremiah Willouer - the correct alternative spelling is the original German Willauer was according to his record : Wounded in the "left side and back" on June 3 1864. He was taken to Carver General Hospital, Judiciary Square, Washington DC. He died June 22, 1864 - cause of death was listed as "Pyemia". When he died he possessed $1.34 in specie, a watch, wallet, a pair of trousers and a blanket. They were sent to his wife Elizabeth in Donaldson, Schuylkill County, Pa. His name is misspelled on his headstone, but then having the last name misspelled is 300 year old family tradition.
