Welcome


Welcome to "Remembering the 142nd PVI". The purpose of this site is post pictures, information, and the final resting places of this regiment of the American Civil War. It seeks to tell a "bottom up" history, straight from the common soldiers themselves. If you have any information concerning the 142nd, please email me at bmonticue@gmail.com. Thank you and enjoy.

Company C Roster

Part of the purpose of this site is to remember EVERY member of the 142nd PVI. One of the most efficient ways is to list the roster of each company. This post will show the roster for Co. C 142nd PVI. This company was raised in Somerset, Somerset County, PA.

The cemeteries listed are based on information from the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War graves registration database, local historical and genealogical societies, personal visits to the cemeteries, and Pennsylvania's veteran burial index. They are accurate to the best of my knowledge. If you know the burial location for a 142nd veteran that is not listed here, please email me at bmonticue@gmail.com.

These rosters were compiled by Samuel P. Bates "according to act of Congress" of the State of Pennsylvania in 1869. Bates' History of Pennsylvania Volunteers, 1861-5 is a mountainous, five volume set that gives an overview of every infantry, cavalry, and artillery regiment that was raised in Pennsylvania, along with a complete regimental roster.

This roster is also found in Col. Horatio Warren's Two Reunions of the 142d Regiment, Pa. Vols.

Please click on a soldier's last name to view more about him. Links will be added as more soldiers' bios are gathered.

  1. Samuel A. Nicola, a kind and gentle...and strong man (pension information). He helped his neighbors clear their fields.

    Samuel A. Nicola married Margaret Firestone. They were married in her parents' home in Drakestown.

    They had four children: William, Elisha, Sabina, and Mary. I descend from Elisha.

    Elisha married Elphena Paugh. They had Winfield S. Nicola and Mary E.

    Winfield was my paternal grandfather. He married Effie Mae Savage and they had several children. My father was their son, Raymond Nicklow (spelling had changed).

    Samuel's neighbors/friends had written in the pension report that he was a stocky man and quite strong. He was able to clear fields by hand...he did this for his neighbors.

    During the Civil War, Samuel wore a kerchief across one eye because the pain in the eye was severe. He eventually lost vision in that eye.

    While in service, he also burned his foot badly. Pouringcoffee at night with his visual, some coffee found it's way into his boot, hospitalizing him. He walked with a limp for the rest of his life.

    Samuel's gravestone is in Ursina, PA. I'll share the story of finding the gravestone:

    We visited Ursina at the urging of Rhonda Loveless of Utah. She had done research and had information on the family. One LDS worker connected me to Rhonda. She shared her information with me and our family made a trip to Ursina, PA, to look for the grave.

    In Ursina, there exist 3 main cemeteries: Hogsback, the old church cemetery and the Ursina Cemetery. We searched all those and even a tiny Ream family cemetery that had been washed out once. Nothing.

    It was getting late and our four children were getting tired. We just felt we needed to search the one cemetery once more. We re-visited the Ursina Cemetery. After canvassing the grounds with still no success, we decided to return to the van and end our searching. On the way back to the van, a large grasshopper landed on my shoulder. As I brushed the grasshopper off and looked back beyond it, I noticed a rosebush that I had not noticed before.

    We went to the rosebush. My husband trimmed it nicely just to help make it look better. The trimming enabled us to see what was there...a headstone...and, yes, it was Samuel's! Some researchers have shared that when the time was right, a certain book would fall from a shelf and they would find the information they sought. Well, this was not a book, but a grasshopper will do.

    I am hoping to connect with others who have ancestors from this regiment/company/area.

    Florence
