CONTAINING LIFE SKETCHES OF LEADING CITIZENS OF
BEDFORD AND SOMERSET COUNTIES PENNSYLVANIA
Henry Diehl grew to manhood on the parental homestead. Although he attended
the district school in his younger days, his mental training has been in a large
measure self-directed, as the schools of fifty years ago afforded but scant
educational privileges compared with the schools of the present day. In
February, 1864, he enlisted in Company D, Fifty-fifth Pennsylvania Volunteer
Infantry, under General Butler, whose regiment was incorporated as a part of the
Twenty-fourth Army Corps, First Brigade and Third Division. With his comrades
he participated in the battles at Cold Harbor, Drury's Bluff, the Wilderness,
the siege of Petersburg, and various other engagements. The Third Division, to which his regiment belonged, was
the first to surround General Lee at Appomattox, where he surrendered. On being
mustered out of service at the close of the war, Mr. Diehl returned home, and
has since devoted himself to the management of his farm. He has two hundred
acres of land in his own homestead property, on which he has made valuable
improvements; and he is recognized as one of the skilful and progressive farmers
of the township. He also owns one-third interest in the old homestead.
Politically, he supports the principles of the Republican party. Fraternally,
he is a member of Watson Post, G.A.R. of Bedford, Pa., and of Rainsburg Lodge,
I. O. O. F., in which he has passed all the chairs, and is now Past Master.
On December 20, 1866, Mr. Diehl married Susanna Weisel, daughter of the late
John Weisel, of Bedford township, Pa. They are the parents of six children,
namely: Mary E., wife of John T. Shaffer, of Colerain township; David W. W., of
Colerain; Laura L., wife of Henry Grand Diehl, also of Colerain township; Joseph
G.; Carrie A.; and Reuben F. Mr. and Mrs. Diehl are both member of the Reformed
church.

Henry Diehl is a prominent farmer and stock-raiser of Colerain township, in Bedford County, Pa., and a member
of one of the earliest settled families of this county. He was born May 17, 1842, in Colerain, which was
likewise the place of birth of his father, the late Joseph H. Diehl. His paternal grandfather, John Diehl,
according to the genealogic table of the Diehl family, issued in 1891, was born in Loudoun County, Virginia, in
1771, and came to Friend's Cove, Bedford County, Pa., a lad of thirteen, in 1784. John Diehl's father was
Samuel Diehl, who married a Miss Ritchey. Mr Henry Diehl is therefore a descendant in the fourth generation
from Samuel Diehl, the line being Samuel1, John2, Joseph H.3, and Henry4.
Joseph H. Diehl was brought up on a farm, and, following in the footsteps of his ancestors, made farming his
life work. He reclaimed a large part of his land from the wilderness, and in its care and cultivation took
great pleasure and pride from his early manhood until his death in March, 1895. He married Elizabeth Harclerode
of Colerain township. Six of their children survive, as follows: William M., of Monroe, Pa.; Henry, the special
subject of this sketch; Susanna, residing at Altoona, Pa., the widow of the late John Holterbaum; Mary E.,
widow of Henry Koontz, late of Colerain; Reuben, likewise of Colerain; and Sarah E., wife of Isaac Dibert, of
Colerain township.
Henry Diehl grew to manhood on the parental homestead. Although he attended the district school in his younger
days, his mental training has been in a large measure self-directed, as the schools of fifty years ago afforded
but scant educational priveleges compared with schools of the present day. In February, 1864, he enlisted in
Company D, Fifty-fifth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, under General Butler, whose regiment was incorporated
as a part of the Twenty-fourth Army Corps, First Brigade and Third Division. With his comrades he participated
