07/17/2007-  Descendant of Thomas J. Marlin, Co. K & Color Bearer, Marty Randall recently took a trip to Tarkio, Mo where "Uncle Thomas" settled in 1889 & spent the rest of his life with "a reputation as a skillfull physician". He is buried at the Tarkio Home Cemetery in Tarkio, Missouri.
From Marty Randall:
"The American flag placed at his grave had also been at the base of the 155th's monument for a month prior to our taking it with us.  We felt it was important to have a flag placed at his grave in Missouri from his regiment's monument in Gettysburg."
 
Also, fantastic news from Russ Eplett a descendant of Leberton & Charles Bunton of. Co. D.

"Hello Christopher,

Some time back I sent you a photo of my Great Great Grandfather Leberton Bunton's gravestone which you posted on the website for the 155th. The stone that I photographed at that time had become worn down by 100 years of weather so that it was no longer easily legible. I have since had the original stone replaced with one that matches his wife's marker and I have attached a picture of the new stone with this note. I also attached a picture of his brother Charles' stone. Both were in the 155th and both are buried in the South Fork, PA Cemetery. A picture of Charles in Zouave uniform appears in the text of "Under the Maltese cross".

 Regards,

Russ Eplett
 
Many Thanks to Marty & Russ.
 
The photos can be seen on the news page and in the "gravesites" section on the photos page.

Greetings,
On May 4th, 2007 Co. B of the 155th Reg. PV was invited to take in the retirement ceremony of Lt. Col. Gary Hetrick of the Asymmetric Warfare Group out of Ft. Meade, MD. LTC Hetrick is also a proud descendant of the 155th PA, having 3 ancestors that served with them, August, George & Peter Hetrick of Co. K.
The Ceremony was held at the Pennsylvania Monument on the Gettysburg Battlefield and was well attended by LTC Hetrick's Family, Colleagues, & Friends. Acting as the color guard Co. B stood out amongst those dressed in modern Military Attire. After the ceremony the Lt. Col.'s family was received by those in attendance at the plaque for the 155th at the PA Monument, with Co. B behind them.
Color Guard:
Chris Aronhalt
James Aronhalt
Shaun Grenan
Ben Hersh
 
A reception was held at the American Legion Post in Gettysburg, to which we were grasiously invited and treated to a wonderful meal.
 
Special thanks to:
Lt. Col. Gary Hetrick (Ret.) & Family
Maj. James Crane, US Army
James Aronhalt
Shaun Grenan & The 114th PA for letting us use their flag

From Chris Aronhalt:
Greetings,
Sad news, while on a battlefield hike with the 114th PA, we stopped at the 155th PA Monument. I checked to see if it was still in one piece when I noticed part of the rifle, the part repaired less than 2 years ago was missing. I looked around the area to see if it had fallen off recently, and found nothing. I have reported it to the the Park rangers, and sent an email to Vic Gavin. This everything I know right now.
 
Regards,
Chris Aronhalt .."''"-->

There seems to be something wrong with the "Add Comment" part on the
photos section. Until this gets fixed i've disabled that option. I have
all posted comments that came up distorted saved on my computer. Please contact me with any questions.

I've updated all the photos of 155th Pa grave sites that have been sitting in my inbox to the photos page on the website. Sorry it took so long but now that I have DSL again as opposed to dial up, it's alot easier.

Greetings,

As of March 2007 I will no longer have 155thpa.com, I still have 155thpvi.com and the base web address at 155thpa.tripod.com. So you may want to update any links or bookmarks.

Thanks,

Chris Aronhalt

Welcome to the 155th's myspace page. This page will be one more way for the name of the 155th to get out there and be here for any one looking for it. The Homepage at 155thpvi.com will still be around, as well as the yahoo group.

This page will also act as a primary recruiting station for the Company B reenactors.

Thanks,

Chris Aronhalt
