Private Diary of R.P. Leinbach, 1865
Sat., Feb. 11: Took Mother to Edith Rothrock. Coz J. Fishel had been
shot as deserter near her house and was there.
Thurs, Mar 9: The Battalion came to town
Sat., Mar. 18: Our community was shocked on hearing that David Huff and
4 other men had been shot by order of Capt. Wilson. I was sorely
distressed for poor David Huff and his deeply afflicted family, as I believed
him to have been innocent of the charge of instigating the expedition for the
release of J. Huff, a deserter. To what are we coming? I cannot learn the
crimes of the others. "Vengeance is mine, I will repay," saith the Lord.
