University  of  Pennsylvania  Men  who  served  in  the  Civil  War 

1861-1865. 


II 
Department  of  Medicine. 

In  previous  issues  of  the  Register  was  given  a  list  of  the  Col- 
lege matriculates  who  took  part  in  the  Civil  War,  on  either  the 
Northern  or  the  Southern  side,  so  far  as  information  was  obtainable. 
One  omission  has  been  called  to  my  attention,  that  of  the  name  of 
Joseph  Beale,  Jr.,  a  graduate  of  the  Class  of  '32  College  and  of  the 
Class  of  '36  Medical,  who  was  Surgeon  General  of  the  U.  S.  Navy. 
His  name  will  appear  with  those  of  his  medical  class.  No  doubt 
there  are  other  omissions  and  errors,  and  I  repeat  the  request, 
originally  made  in  the  first  issue,  that  these  should  be  pointed  out 
to  me. 

I  now  present  the  list  of  matriculates  of  the  Medical  School 
who  served  in  the  War.  It  has  been  compiled  under  serious 
difficulties  and  is  probably  more  defective  than  the  College  list. 
I  have  been  unsuccessful  in  enlisting  the  interest  of  the  Medical 
Alumni  Society  in  any  way,  and  have  thus  lost  a  valuable  source 
of  assistance. 

A  letter  of  application  to  the  Secretary  of  War  at  Washing- 
ton for  information  from  the  records  of  the  Department  was 
returned  to  me  with  the  endorsement  of  the  Adjutant  General 
that  "a  strict  rule  prohibits  the  furnishing  of  information  from  the 
official  records  for  such  purposes."  On  the  other  hand,  a  similar 
letter  to  the  Secretary  of  the  Navy  brought  a  prompt  and  courteous 
reply  from  the  acting  Secretary,  Hon.  Beekman  Winthrop,  offer- 
ing every  assistance  within  his  power,  for  which  I  am  glad  to  make 
here  my  grateful  acknowledgments. 

The  first  instalment  of  the  list,  such  as  I  have  been  able  to 
make  it  up  to  this  time,  is  now  presented  and  further  instalments 
will  appear  in  subsequent  issues  of  the  Register  until  it  is  com- 
pleted. I  would  earnestly  ask  all  those  under  whose  eyes  it  may 
come  to  scrutinize  it  closely  for  errors  and  omissions,  and  to  write 
me  at  once  of  any  which  they  may  discover.  It  is  a  large  list  of 
names  and  involves  much  labor  to  obtain  the  data  for  notes  of 
service.     It  is  inevitable  that  there  will  be  a  great  many  names 


296  Pennsylvania   Men   in  Civil   War 

omitted  from  this  initial  publication  which  ought  to  be  here  and 
I  hope  that  these  may  be  supplied  to  me  by  those  who  note  their 
absence.

citizens  of  Philadelphia  at  the  foot  of  Washington  Avenue,  on  the  Delaware  River, 
in  April,  1861,  and  continued  until  the  close  of  the  war.  Here  came  the  great  stream

soldiers  had  their  wounds  dressed,  and  1 5,000  refugees  and  freedmen  were  also 
cared  for.  In  these  labors  the  women  of  Philadelphia  bore  a  large  share.  At 
all  hours  of  the  night,  when  a  little  signal  gun  was  fired  these  self-sacrificing  women 
would  repair  to  their  post  of  duty.

He  served  as  a  surg.  in  the  Russian  army  at  Sevastopol,  and  was  highly 
commended  for  his  skill  by  the  famous  Russian  surgeon  Pirogoff.  Surg.,  44th 
Va.  Regt.,  C.  S.  Army,  1861-63.  He  was  successively  regimental  surg.,  senior 
surg.  of  brigade,  and  acting  surg.  of  division,  and  during  the  last  year  of  the  war 
president  of  an  examining  board  in  South  Carolina  for  the  examination  of  con- 
scripts and  disabled  soldiers.  At  the  battle  of  Chancellorsville  he  had  the  wounded 
Gen.  "Stonewall"  Jackson  placed  in  an  ambulance,  and  sent  to  the  rear.  After 
the  battle  of  Gettysburg,  he  had  charge  of  the  wounded  of  Jackson's  old  Corps, 
who  could  not  be  removed,  and  on  the  retreat  of  the  Confederate  army  the  Federals 
took  possession  of  their  camp  of  wounded,  but  allowed  him  to  remain  in  charge 
and  liberally  furnished  supplies  for  the  wounded.  About  a  month  after  the  battle 
Dr.  Whitehead  with  other  Confederate  surgeons  was  sent  to  Baltimore,  and  instead 
of  being  exchanged,  as  expected,  was  retained  as  a  prisoner  of  war,  and  shut  up  in 
an  inclosure  adjoining  Fort  McHenry.  In  the  meantime  a  pretty  cousin  whose 
home  was  in  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  to  whom  he  was  engaged  and  afterward  married, 
had,  on  account  of  her  ill  health,  gained  permission  from  U.  S.  Secretary  of  War 
Stanton  to  cross  the  lines  into  Virginia.  On  learning  this.  Dr.  Whitehead  plotted 
to  free  himself  from  the  uninteresting  life  of  a  prison  barrack.  One  dark  night 
he  made  his  escape  in  citizen's  dress  and  in  a  few  days  reached  Canada.  He  took 
passage  from  Halifax  to  St.  George's,  Bermuda,  where  the  Confederate  quarter- 
master placed  him  on  a  swift  blockade-runner  to  Wilmington,  N.  C,  which  he 
reached  in  safety  after  an  exciting  trip.

b.  on  his  father's  Tar  River  plantation,  Granville  Co.,  N.  C,  May  7,  1833. 
d.  Durham,  Durham  Co.,  N.  C,  Feb.  6,  1895. 
Soon  after  returning  home  from  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  the  question 
of  secession  became  the  paramount  political  issue.  While  believing  that  the  State 
had  the  legal  right  to  secede,  he  deemed  such  action  unwise  and  inexpedient,  so 
espoused  the  Union  cause  and  became  locally  prominent  as  a  "Union  man."  He 
raised  a  large  U.  S.  flag  on  his  lawn,  which  was  not  lowered  until  North  Carolina 
withdrew  from  the  Union.  It  was  then  tenderly  folded  away  until  Gen.  Joseph 
E.  Johnston  surrendered,  when  it  was  again  unfurled  with  the  hope  that  North  and

South  would  soon  be  re-united.  That  flag  is  still  cherished  as  a  precious  family 
heirloom.  Although  a  "Union  man"  before  secession,  yet  when  war  was  declared, 
he  was  one  of  the  first  citizens  of  Granville  County  to  enlist  in  a  volunteer  company 
which  was  raised  by  his  friend  and  neighbor,  Dr.  Eugene  Grissom  (class  1858), 
and  later  became  surg.,  30th  N.  C.  Regt.,  C.  S.  Army,  attached  to  the  Army  of 
Northern  Va.  He  was  with  "Stonewall"  Jackson's  army  in  its  famous  campaigns, 
serving  as  field  surg.  in  many  important  battles,  but  a  few  weeks  before  his  great 
commander's  death,  after  a  severe  illness,  he  was  assigned  to  special  service  under 
Col.  Peter  Mallett,  in  the  conscript  department,  with  headquarters  at  Raleigh, 
N.  C.  He  also  held  several  important  hospital  positions  in  Richmond,  Va.,  and 
Wilmington,  N.  C.  For  one  of  his  age  and  experience  he  received  unusual  recog- 
nition, and  was  several  times  promoted.  On  one  occasion,  while  ministering  to 
the  sick  and  wounded  under  peculiarly  difilcult  circumstances,  "Stonewall" 
Jackson,  who  happened  to  be  passing,  stopped  and  spoke  words  of  personal  commen- 
dation, an  honor  which  Dr.  Smith  never  referred  to  except  in  his  own  family  circle. 
He  served  from  the  beginning  of  the  war  until  its  close,  and  returned  home  with  his 
health  undermined  from  hardship  endured  in  the  field.

Private,  and  bugler  the  latter  part  of  his  service,  13th  Ohio  Inf.,  June  4, 
1861;  honorably  discharged  July  16,  1864.  Re-enlisted  in  6th  U.  S.  Vet.  Int.,

was  present  at  the  battles  of  Shiloh,  Corinth,  Perryville,  Murfreesboro,  Chick- 
amauga.  Missionary  Ridge,  Resaca,  and  Atlanta.  He  was  severely  wounded 
in  the  head  and  side  at  the  battle  of  Stone's  River,  near  Murfreesboro,  Dec. 
31  1862,  and  left  on  the  field  for  dead,  where  he  lay  for  hours  until  befriend- 
ed' by  a  Confederate  soldier,  who  was  hunting  for  a  wounded  comrade,  and 
taken  to  a  large  dry  goods  store  in  Murfreesboro,  which  had  been  converted 
into  a  hospital,  and  placed  on  the  bare  floor  with  300  other  severely  wounded 
men.  Here  the  wounded  remained  until  those  who  were  strong  enough  were 
sent  by  train  to  a  Southern  prison.  While  assembled  in  a  room  in  the  town 
jail,  too  small  for  any  one  to  sit  down,  awaiting  their  transfer  South,  Doctor 
Clark  and  a  comrade,  in  their  desperation  to  get  out  of  the  unwholesome  air, 
found  on  moving  a  large  stone  box  from  against  one  of  the  walls  of  the  room, 
a  hole  in  the  wall,  through  which  they  crept  and  in  wandering  about  came  to 
an  empty  cell,  where  they  closed  the  door  and  slept  on  the  stone  floor  until 
morning,  when  they  discovered  that  the  Confederates  had  evacuated  the  town 
and  taken  with  them  the  other  prisoners.  The  two  escaped  prisoners  learned 
later  that  a  roll  call  of  the  prisoners  made  before  their  departure  revealed 
the  absence  of  the  two  men  and  an  ineffectual  search  was  made  for  them. 
Clark  and  his  comrade  eventually  reached  the  Union  lines  in  safety.

UNIVERSITY  OF  PENNSYLVANIA  MEN  WHO 
SERVED  IN  THE  CIVIL  WAR,  1861-1865 


II. 

Department  of  Medicine 


The  present  instalment  of  war  records  of  our  medical  graduates  which 
were  received  too  late  for  insertion  in  their  proper  classes,  probably  is  the 
last.  The  graduates  of  our  Law  School  who  served  in  the  Civil  War  will 
follow  in  subsequent  issues  of  The  Register. 

After  pursuing  every  avenue  of  research  open  to  him,  the  Editor  fears 
that  there  are  many  graduates  of  the  Medical  School  of  the  University  who 
served  in  the  Civil  War  and  whose  names  are  not  included  in  the  list,  espe- 
cially from  the  South.  Both  the  Army  and  the  Navy  Departments  at  Wash- 
ington have  been  of  most  valuable  assistance  and  have  furnished  much  in- 
formation from  the  Government  files;  but  for  the  graduates  who  served  in 
the  Southern  armies  the  available  sources  are  meagre.  It  is  earnestly  desired 
that  every  one  who  knows  of  a  name  that  should  be  included,  or  who  can 
correct  in  any  way  the  lists  already  published,  will  communicate  with  the 
Editor, 

EwiNG  Jordan,  M.D.,
