Dear Wife- Will write a few lines to inform you that I am in
good Health, and hope these few lines may find you all in good health too.
I do not like letting you alone, but it the best I can do.
I will be back in 1 year's time to you.

The above is written exactly as the letter (original) which is encased in a

up the History of Cambria County, PA. I could only find the second volume
and the third. The 2nd volume deals with the Civil War. It gives the

George Wysel lived to an advanced age.
Joseph Wysel, son of George Wysel, was born in Maryland, and was a child when the family moved to Pennsylvania. He owned a large tract of land in Mineral Point, and moved to Wabash, Indiana County [this is a mistake printed in book] where he ended his days. He was a Democrat and a member of the Lutheran Church.

He was interred at National Park July 28, 1865. [as printed in book]. He married December 19, 1855, Elizabeth, daughter of Joseph Funk and they were the parents of three children: 1. William, of whom later. 2. Henrietta, born in 1858, wife of Ezra Oaks, had eight children. 3. Jennie, born in 1860, wife of Joseph Wicks, Junior, had ten children.
William Wysel, son of Moses and Elizabeth [Funk] Wysel was educated at the Soldiers' Orphans schools at Cassville and Jacksonville, Pennsylvania. He also pursued a course in mining from the Scranton school of correspondence. He was employed as a clerk until 1896 and in 1901 engaged in mercantile business, intrusting the management of the store to his son, while he himself worked at the trade of carpenter. For sixteen years he served as clerk of the borough council, and for the same length of time was school director. Fore three years he held the office of treasure of the borough school fund, and at present is assessor of first ward. He is a Republican and a member of the Methodist Episcopal church.
Mr. Wysel married, in 1876, Anna, daughter of Aaron Berkebile and they are the parents of the following children: Ella, born 1876; Alva B., 1878; Joseph, 1880; Henry, 1881; John W., 1884; Edith, 1886; Charles H., 1888; Laura, 1891; and Iva, 1896.

The Drafted Militia
The much talked of, reasonably dreaded, Draft of Militia was made throughout the State on Thursday, some two hundred being drawn in this county alone. No undue excitement was manifested, but on the contrary, everything was conducted with dignity and decorum. Commissioner Harr was present and superintended the delicate operation. Constable O’Neill acted as assistant and blindfolded, drew the required number of names from the wheel. They are as follows:
Croyle Twp.:
Moses Weisel
Of the above number a due proportion, of course, will be represented in the army by “substitutes.” The prices paid for such ranged from $200 to $300. They leave for Harrisburg today.
