• Notes

  During the Civil War Albert W. Mateer served as a private soldier in Company H 130th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry from 9 August 1862 until 17 November 1865. When he enlisted at Harrisburg he was described as 5 feet 6 inches tall with light complexion, light hair and gray eyes. He was wounded in the left arm at the Battle of Antietam and then transferred to the Veterans Reserve Corps. On 27 March 1874 Albert W. Mateer and wife Elizabeth of Swatain Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania for $600, sold to Mathias Eschelman of Lower Allen Township, a house and lot in White Hill, East Pennsboro Township, on the road to Gettysburg, the property bought on 1 April 1872 from James and Lydia Davis. In 1876 Albert moved to Putnam County, Illinois, and thence to Union Township, Adams County, Iowa in 1883; about 1907 he moved again to Cromwell, Union County, Iowa. The 1880 census lists this family in Crispie Township, Bureau County, Illinois. ---------- Reference: McTeer - Mateer Families of Cumberland County Pennsylvania, Frances Davis McTeer, 1975, p 78, 108-109.
