final TRIBUTE
TO UNSUNG HERO
OF The CIVIL WAR
William Aeker, Whose Funeral Ser.
vices Were Conducted Thursday,
Was Trusted Scout with the
Army of the Potomac-Citation on
Army Discharge

Funeral services for William Acker,
Civil War veteran, who died with the
knowledge that he had done at least
his share for the Union in the great
conflict, were held yesterday at the
knowlton & Hewins funeral parlors in
this city. Many friends and relatives
were present to pay their last tribute
to an unsung hero of the war whose
deeds of bravery and gallantry are the
subject of a simple, soldierly note on
the back of his army discharge papers.
William Acl1er enlisted in the army
with the 14Sth Regiment of Pennsyl-
vania Volunteers on the ninth of Sep
TENDER in 1852, a regiment which was
assigned to duty with the Army of the
Potomac, the flower of the Union
forces. A soldier of daring and mi
tiative, AclSer was selected for scout
duty and made many trips out In
front of the Union lines, returning
with valuable information regarding
the position and formations of Confed-
crate forces. His work kept him busy
between Charlottesville and Cold
Harbor. in which section were fought
SOME of the bloodiest battles of the
war.
While scouting in front of the
Union lines during the war he was ac-
cidentally shot in the arm by one of
his own men, sustaining a severe
wound. This. however, did not prevent
him from rendering further service to
his country. and he served as a pri-
vate in the volunteers until January
6, 1865. The following is the letter of
praise and commentator inscribed on
the back of his discharge papers by his
superior officer:
WIN. Acl1er has been in all the en-
gagements of the Army of the Poto-
mac from Charlottesville to Cold
Harbor, where he was accidentally
shot in the arm by one of our own
men, while scouting in front of our
lines. His gallantry and bravery Is
known by all the officers and men of
the command to which he belongs and
his efficiency as a scout while an en-
gagement is progressing is notorious,
having been sent to undertake the
most dangerous and arduous duties
required of a soldier He has never
failed to win the praise of the officers
appointed over him. And I take pleas
ure in recommending him to the favor
of all in authority.
THOMAS c. BRAINIRD.
asst. Surg. U. s. A. in Charge.
"Private, Lieut.. Qunius F. Grains
Col 14Sth Regiment of Pennsylvania
Volunteers"
His son, Harry Acller Of Medfield,
Mass, and three sons-in-law, Wallace
seekins, Joseph Lemieux and Emile
DUMAS, were bearers at the funeral.
A profusion of beautiful flowers bore
mute testimony to his popularity in
private life, the most of the donors
hot f1n e.
were paying last respects to a hero,
whose modesty and unassuming atti-
tude would not allow him to reveal the
incidents which had made him one of
the most valuable soldiers in the
Union army.
