Antietam Valley Record on Jan 5, 1894
Maj. Stearns of the Battlefield Board and Chaplain Stevens of the 14th Conn. Regt., visited Antietam battlefield last week, and purchased of R.D. Fisher who now owns the Mumma farm near the Dunkard church, a tract of ground 20 feet square for a site on which to erect a monument some time next summer to mark the extreme advance of that regiment where it was engaged in the 17th of September, 1862.

Sharpsburg's scribe, O.T. Reilly, wrote thousands of short news items in the local Sharpsburg papers between 1887 and 1942. These are some of my favorite examples.
