ZENTMIRE, George (I0198)
 
603 Most likely there are at least 4 additional children - born prior to Harriet and David. Family possibly lived in Allegany Co., MD ca 1863 - 1870, then relocated to PA. Brother Harrison was in MD in 1870, VA in 1876 and PA by 1879. Since Harrison's son, James Jacob married and resided in Allegany Co., MD, I think it is a safe assumption that Alexander and William would also be in the same area of MD.

BATTLE OF CEDAR CREEK
BY RON SANTMYERS
OCTOBER 7, 2000

Just wanted to drop in and let you know that October 21, 22 the reenactment of the Battle of Cedar Creek will be held. This was the last major engagement in the Shenandoah Valley. It happened on October the 19th 1864.
General Jubal Early, with the 49th under his command attacked Phil Sheridan's Army. The information I am going to impart came from Capt. Samuel Buck's and Daniel Funkhouser's writings during and after the war. The Buck's were a family that lived near the Santmyers' before and after the War. You will find Santmyers living in Buckton on the Census Records. This area of Warren Co. was named after the family with the biggest farm in that area of the Fork

At the time of this battle, John B. and Issac (released from Fort Delaware Prison after being captured at Waterloo, Va. after his wounding at Gettysburg, Pa., in a prisoner exchange) and most likely Thomas, as the 17th was a part of Earley's Army. John H. Santmyers was with the 18th Va. Cav. under Earley's Command placed at Front Royal, Va., about eight miles away from the commencement of the battle.

On the 19th of October 1864 about 10,000 troops under Earley's command moved North from down the Valley to engage about 40.000 troops under the command of Phillip Sheridan. It was to be a surprise attack. At 4 AM the Confederate Troops moved along the West side of the Massanutten Mountain by a trail know to a member of Earley's Command. The trail was very narrow and the Army moved single file. At the base of the Massunutten, the Army assembled.
They were ordered to remove all of their equipment, other than their rifles and ammo bags as to make no sounds. At 5 AM they waded across the Shenandoah River and overran the Federal picketts at Strasburg, Va. Less than a mile later they hit Sheridan's Army as they were cooking breakfast. The Federal troops, feeling they were outnumbered, fled leaving much of the equipment in the field. Earley's Army chased the Federals to Middletown, About five miles away, where the Federals regrouped , after Sheridan's ride from Winchester, Va.

Ole Jube declared , "This enough glory for one day" and called for his forces to fall back with 1500 Federal prisoners. Both forces pulled back and never faced each other again. Early was
and the 49th was then called back into the Army of Northern Virginia and the 48th was back where it began, under Lee's command. They were there at Lee's Surrender.
Jube never called up the 18th Cav. , who were in the position to cut off Sheridan's advance from Winchester. Well it was well known, "Ole Jube" did not like the Cavalry.

Captain Buck's diary stated that his mother and sister had gone to the battle scene the next day to see if he was among the dead. I am sure the Santmyers women were there also.

I live about about 10 mile from the battle, they lived less than five miles. Each year I can hear the cannon fire from the reenactment (it scares my dog every year). So I know all of the families here knew the battle was on and worried about all their husbands and sons in the field.

639 O'TOOLE JOHN P.
Of North Fayette Twp., passed away peacefully on Friday, February 10, 2012. Born July 25, 1942 to the late Martin and Mary (Ring) O'Toole. Preceded in death by his brothers, Martin and Ray O'Toole and sister-in-law, Jane O'Toole. John leaves behind his beloved wife of 47 years, Patricia (Rowley) O'Toole; his children, Sean O'Toole and wife Karen, Brendan O'Toole and wife Kristina, and Kelly Stevenson and husband Rob; also survived by a sister, Molly Morris and a brother, Joe O'Toole and wife Mary, and many devoted nieces and nephews. John found his greatest joys in his grandchildren, whose love and playfulness helped and encouraged him to survive many health difficulties over the past several years. "Pap" was so proud of his 11 grandchildren, and was often over heard talking about Keenan, Makenzi, Aiden, and Declan O'Toole, Jacqueline O'Toole, Jerry and Sydney Spath, and Abbey, Riley, Jacob, and Grant Stevenson. John served in the U.S. Army as an MP in Germany. Upon returning home, he had a diverse and successful career in the sale of specialty steel products and equipment, and later, in the inland marine industry. Most recently, he developed and operated Self-Storage of North Fayette with his brother, Joe. John will always be remembered for his selflessness and giving heart; he made it his mission in life to help all he knew. His witty and outgoing personality will forever be in our hearts. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made in John's memory to PALS (Providing Love, Assistance and Support), 400 N. Branch Rd., Oakdale, PA 15071, which is a North Fayette Twp. community outreach program he supported. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Feb. 13, 2012
