71 At the Battle of Gettysburg, Jul 2 through Jul 4, 1863, the regiment was commanded by Major John B. Kohler. It brought 406 men to the field. On arriving on the field on the afternoon of July 2 it occupied the low hill north of Little Round Top.

The next day the regiment advanced a short distance. It suffered little from the artillery barrage that preceeded Pickett's Charge, losing most of its 11 men wounded during the battle to sharpshooters.

There are two monuments dedicated to the 98th Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment at the Gettysburg Battlefield. The following is from the Sykes Avenue monument: "Leading the march from Manchester Md. Arrived here July 2d about 5 p.m. Immediately charged to the Wheatfield and woods to the left. About dark re-joined the brigade north of the road where other monument stands."

The following is from the Wheatfield Road monument: "The regiment was the advance of the Sixth Corps in its march from Manchester, Md. to the battlefield and occupied this position from the evening of July 2d until the close of battle."

Jul 4 was spent removing the wounded and burying the dead. The next day the regiment started the pursuit of the retreating Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia.

72 At the time of the controversy between the Massachusetts Bay Colony authorities and the leaders of the Baptist movement, William Witter was one of those whose adherence to the Baptist tenets brought him into disagreement with the former. He was haled to Court more than once because of his opposition to infant baptism. He also gave offense because of his entertainment of the Baptist leaders, Obadiah Holmes, John Crandall and .John Clarke, the first-named being an ancestor of Abraham Lincoln. In the narrative of their journey to Rhode Island, because of the persecution of the Massachusetts government, John Clarke wrote: "It came to pass that we three ... came into the Mathatusetts Bay about the 16 day of the 5th Moneth 51; and upon the-19th of the same, ... we' came into a Town ... called Lin, where we lodged at a Blind-man's house, neer two miles out of the Town, by name William Witter .... " From this we see that William Witter, in his old age, had become blind. Witter, William (I2713)
