    According to Mat(t)hias milestones : the genealogy & biograhical history of Daniel Mathias, senior (a soldier of the Revolution) of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania & Stark County, Ohio By Dorothy Weiser Seale, Albert

    served almost 3 1/2 years in the Union Army of the U.S.
    during the Civil War. According to his War papers obtained
    from National Archives in Washington, D.C., his first
    enlistment was on 4 November 1861 at McComb, Hancock County, Ohio as a Private in Co. K, 65th Ohio Volunteer
    Infantry commanded by Cap. Joshua Prebble. During the
    course of the War he fought under Generals U.S. Grant and
    W.T. Sherman. During 1862-1863 he fought in the battles of
    Shiloh, Perryville, Stone River, Chickamauga, Chattanooga, and
    Missionary Ridge. After these campaigns, with two years of
    service behind him, he mustered out and was discharged 31 December 1863 so that he might re-enlist as a Veteran
    Volunteer. On 1 January 1864 at Blains Cross Roads, Tenn.,
    he rejoined with the rank of Corporal and on 19 February 1864
    at Chattanooga, Tenn. He once again mustered into the service
    of Co. K, 65th Regiment, Ohio Veterans Volunteer Infantry (OVVI) commanded by Liet. William A. Bell. In May, 1864 he fought at Rocky Face Ridge and Resaca, Georgia. On 14 May 1864 he was severly wounded in action in his right arm in the Battle of Resaca. This campaign began on 11 May 1864 when Gen. Sherman's troops were marching west of Rocky Face
    Ridge toward Snake Creek Gap and Resaca. Sherman attacked
    the Confederate troops (led by Gen. Joseph E. Johnston) at Resaca, and on May 15 gained possession of that town. Corp. Matthias was mentioned for conspicious bravery in the face of
    the enermy on 11 May 1864. His war papers state: "On 14 May 1864 he was shot throught the elbow joint of the right arm..."
    (pp.132-133)


    After the war, Albert practiced as a physician in Gilboa, Putnam County, Ohio and in McComb, Hancock County, Ohio. His death was due to arteriosclerosis.

    The Lewis Publishing Company's A Centennial Biographical History of Hancock County Ohio (1903) states on page 517 that

    "One of the best known citizens of Hancock county is Dr. Albert C. Matthias, of McComb, who has attained distinction in professional circles, and is a prominent representative of several fraternal organizations. Forceful indiviudality and keen insight, combined with practical common sense, are the strong traits in his character which have served to win for him a high place in various circles."
    In the 1910 Hancock County, Ohio Census, Albert and Eleanor reside in McComb."

    That same source states that Albert was discharged from the army in February 1865 and then graduated in medicine from the Western Reserve University in 1869. In 1897 Albert relocated from Gilboa to Hancock County where he had, by 1903, "...gained recognition as a practitioner whose skill is above the average and whose ability is constantly augmented by reading and investigation. Membership in leading medical societies, wherein there is an interchange of thought and experience, has also led to the advancement of Dr. Matthias in his chosen calling." Albert belonged to the Northwestern Ohio Medical Association, the Ohio State Medical society, and was the president of the Putnam County Medical Society for three years while a resident of Gilboa.

    According to Lewis Publishing Company's A Centennial Biographical History of Hancock County Ohio (1903) page 519:

    "In political circles Dr. Matthias is quite prominent. He served for twenty-four years as a councilman in Gilboa and is now a member of the city council of McComb. For two years and seven months he was mayor of Gilboa and for six years was president of the board of education there. In 1899 he was elected justice of the peace by bo

    Albert married Eleanor Parsons Harris on 12 Apr 1866 in Leipsic, Putnam, Ohio, United States.

    Notes:

    Name Prefix: Rev.
    Rev. Jacob Lischy's Private Pastoral Records for Lischy's Reformed Church in York County, Pennsylvania, 1773 -1901 record the baptism of Henry Stambach who was born 14 September 1785 (this date is within 3 days of the birthdate calculated according to Rev. Henry Stambaugh's cemetery marker). His parents are identified as Philip and Margaret Stambach; the probablity that this is Henry, son of Philip and Barbara, but with some recording error, appears great. The baptismal sponsors were Jacob and Anna Hauser.

    There is an entry for Henry Stambaugh in Manallen Twp., 1810 Adams County, Pennsylvania Census witht he following family:

    1 male 16 - 25
    3 males under 10
    1 female 16-25
    1 female under 10


    There is an entry for Henry Stombaugh in the 1820 Columbiana County, Ohio Census for Centre Twp. with the following family:

    1 male 26 - 45
    2 males 10 - 16
    5 males under 10
    1 female 26 - 45
    1 female 10 - 16
    2 females under 10
    1 person engaged in agriculture


    Reference is made to Henry in the Columbiana County Cemetery Inscriptions, Volume 14, as submitted by Carol Willsey Bell. The record originally appeared in the Ohio Patriot published in New Lisbon by William D. Lepper Saturday, 12 September 1829:


    DIED Sunday morning last at the residence of John Watson in
    this town, the Rev. John Waggner late of Rockbridge Co., VA,
    at the advanced age of 75 years. The deceased had left home on foot, a distrance of several hundred miles, in search of two of
    his sons, of whom no tidings were had until whitin a few days
    of his demise and too late for information to reach them of his
    situation. It may be a gratification to his relations and friends
    to learn, though he died among strangers, that every care & attention was paid to him by Mr. Watson & family and the
    family of Martin Helman, that humanity cound suggest. His remains were interred on Monday in the German Cemetery at which the Rev. Henry Stambaugh officiated in a feeling and impressive manner.


    In the 1850 Portage County, Ohio Census, Henry and his second wife, Hannah, reside in Randolph Township where Henry is a cooper. His Real Estate value is $1,600.00.

    In the 1860 Portage County, Ohi Census, Henry and Hannah continue to reside in Randolph Twp. Henry's Real Estate value is $600.00 and his Personal Estate value is $2,000.00.

    In the biographical sketch of A.W. Stambaugh in History of Stark County with an outline sketch of Ohio edited by William Henry Perrin, his grandfather is identified as Rev. Henry Stambaugh. This source does not mention Henry and Catharina's children Jacob or Hannah but does mention a son "Josiah", a daughter, "Emma", and a second daughter bearing the name "Catharine" that are not mentioned in any other document or resource that I have yet found.

    That same source explains that Henry married Catharine "...and with his family of children emigrated to Ohio, crossing the river at Pittsburg in a ferryboat. He came to New Lisbon, Ohio, where he rented land twelve years, but finally made his way to the county [Stark], and settled first in Nimishillen Tp., when it was all a wilderness; remaining here seven years, when, he removed to Canton and remained seven years, and finally located in Portage Co., where he died in 1866. He was a minister of the Albright faith, as were also John and Jacob, his brothers, but later in life joined the United Brethren Church. (page 968)."

    According to that same county history, Henry's "...ancestor was Philip, a native of Alsace on the Rhine. He and several brothers came to York Co., Pa., and settled there previous to the war of the Revolution. The children of Philip were --- Jacob, Henry, John, Catharine, Mary and Elizabeth. Philip was remarkably fond of hunting and the chase, and upon his arrival in Pennsylvania, purchased several hundred acres of land at South Mountain, in Adams Co., Pa. (967)."
