During the Civil War Albert W. Mateer served as a private soldier in Company H

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

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
