About Pvt. (USA) Seth William Harpell
Co. C, 74TH New York Infantry
Born November 1818 --- Died July 02, 1863 at age 44
Pvt. Harpell began his life in Nova Scotia and relocated to America at the age of seven. He married a lady named Martha and had eight children, all but the eldest under the age of 21 when he was killed at Gettysburg. During that fateful battle, Jeanette was 21, John was 19, George was 18, David was 16, Thomas was 14, Ann was 12, Sarah was 9, and Arabelle was 1. It’s highly likely that if the three eldest boys didn’t join the war effort, it was certainly on their minds. Pvt. Harpell was later buried at Gettysburg National Cemetery.
