K Co. 2nd Heavy Artillery Regiment Pen...Elijah Hawk<br />K Co. 2nd Heavy Artillery Regiment Pennsylvania <br />(112th Volunteers). <br /><br />Birth: 1835<br />Death: Jan. 17, 1881 <br /><br /> Elijah Hawk served in the Union Army during Civil War. He enlisted on 31 January 1861 at Uniontown in Fayette County, Pennsylvania and served with K Co. 2nd Heavy Artillery Regiment PA (112th Volunteers). <br /><br />The 2nd participated in the Wilderness campaign, fighting at Spottsylvania and Cold Harbor and shared in the charge at Petersburg, Virginia. He mustered in as a Private at Philadelphia on February 8, 1862. <br /><br />In military service records, Elijah's last name is found spelled as Hawk and Hawke and his first name as Elijah and Elisha. The spelling is uncertain because Elijah Hawk was unable to write his own name. He fixed his mark to his US Army reenlistment papers when he mustered in on 4 February 1864. On the muster roll at the time of his second enlistment, he was described as 23 years old having dark eyes and black hair, having a dark complexion, and 5 feet 11 inches tall. <br /><br />Elijah was granted a furlough of at least 30 days in his state before expiration of his original term of service. During this time he and Susannah Hiles, a neighbor from "back home" in Dunbar, were married on 21 March 1864 in Uniontown, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. Their first child, James William Hawk, was born nine months later on 5 January 1865 while Elijah's outfit joined in the last charges upon the enemy. The last months of his service were spent preserving peace and order in the southern part of Virginia. He mustered out at City Point, Virginia on 29 January 1866 and was discharged at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on February 16, 1866, returning home shortly after his son's first birthday. <br /><br />In her application for widow's benefits, Elijah's wife Susannah said that he became incapacitated due to rheumatism that he contracted during his military service and eventually died from the disease. On a Proof of Disability Affidavit, his brother in law, Henry Heiles (sic: Hiles) stated that "…Elijah Hawk had a severe spell of typhoid fever..." while serving in the military during the Civil War. <br /><br />Elijah worked as a farmer and a laborer in the hills of Dunbar in Fayette County, Pennsylvania after the war. Elijah and his wife Susannah had at least eight children before he died at the age of 45. <br /><br />He is buried in the hills of Dunbar in an until recently abandoned* cemetery, the John's/Liston Cemetery, now in the Pennsylvania State Gameland 51. Elijah's is one of the few graves with a marker. The cemetery was called Green River Cemetery [perhaps for Greenbriar, a old, local name for that area of the Dunbar hills] in the government card file for his headstone contract.<br /> <br /><br />*The John's/Liston Cemetery, abandoned and completely overgrown, was restored by the efforts of 15-year-old Jarrod Whoric, of Dunbar, for an Eagle Scout project.BeanyCecilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15714933870531638448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2991330905163170166.post-86260441513571665482011-04-08T09:51:13.955-07:002011-04-08T09:51:13.955-07:00Jerome VanBilliard
