Cols., William D. Lewis, Jr., James Crowther, Isaac Rodgers, Frank B. Stewart; Lieut.-Cols., James Crowther, David M. Jones, Isaac Rodgers, William D. Lewis, Isaac T. Hamilton, John B. Fite, Frank B. Stewart, John L. Ellis; Majs., John C. Johnson, David M. Jones, Isaac Rodgers, Isaac T. Hamilton, Frank B. Stewart, John L. Ellis, Samuel McCune. The 110th was recruited in Blair, Huntingdon, Bedford, Center, Philadelphia and Clearfield counties, rendezvoused at Huntingdon and was organized early in Dec, 1861, at Camp Curtin, Harrisburg, where it was mustered into the U. S. service for three years and left on Jan. 2, 1862, to join the troops in Maryland under Gen. Lander. At Cumberland it was assigned to Tyler's brigade, Lander's division, Banks' corps (later the 2nd), and guarded the Baltimore & Ohio bridge over the South Branch of the Potomac until Feb. 6. The remainder of February was spent at Paw Paw and on March 8 the regiment moved to Winchester, where Banks was attacked by Stonewall Jackson's force on the 23d, and a desperate struggle ensued in which the 110th met with severe loss and won mention in special orders for its heroism. During April the regiment was stationed at Winchester on guard duty and moved about the first of May to Fredericksburg, where it was assigned to the brigade under Col. Carroll, which became a part of Ricketts' division, McDowell's corps of the Army of Northern Virginia. It met Jackson again at Port Republic in June, but was obliged to retire in the face of overwhelming numbers. It next moved to Cloud's mills ; thence to Warrenton ; was in reserve at Cedar mountain until the close of the battle, when it supported the artillery; was closely engaged at Thoroughfare gap and the second battle of Bull Run. The 110th was stationed at Washington during the battle of Antietam, but was active at Fredericksburg in December, sustaining heavy loss. Winter quarters were established at Stoneman's switch and on Dec. 31, 1862, the regiment was consolidated into six companies, owing to reduction in its numbers. It participated in the "Mud March" and afterward remained in camp until the Chancellorsville campaign. On May 3 the 110th was closely engaged and lost one-half its members in the action. It returned to camp until the Gettysburg campaign, in which it participated with De Trobriand's brigade, Birney's division, 3d corps. Its most arduous service in this battle was on the afternoon of July 2, when, fighting beside the 5th Mich., the two regiments held their position against the enemy's onslaught. It moved southward with the army ; was active at Kelly's ford, Nov. 7, and in the Mine Run campaign ; went into winter quarters at Brandy Station, where in Jan., 1864, almost the entire regiment reenlisted, receiving veteran furlough and returning in time for the Wilderness campaign, when the regiment was assigned to the 2nd corps. In the campaign which followed it fought at the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, the Po river, the North Anna, Totopotomy, Shady Grove Church, Cold Harbor and the Chickahominy. It took part in the first assaults on Petersburg and the action at the Weldon railroad, and on June 23 it received the members of the 115th Pa. In the operations about Petersburg it was active at Deep Bottom, Hatcher's run, in the raid on the Richmond & Danville railroad, and during the winter made its headquarters at Fort Hell. On March 25, 1865, the regiment assisted in repelling the attack on Fort Stedman and after the fall of Petersburg it was engaged at Sailor's creek. When the news of Lee's surrender was received the regiment started for Washington, where it was mustered out on June 28, 1865. Roster:
