It guarded the railroad during the winter, and in spring of 1863 operated against guerillas in West Virginia as a member of the Third Brigade, Second Division, Eighth Army Corps. In June the Regiment returned to the vicinity of Martinsburg and was severely pressed by the advance of Lee's army in the Battle of Martinsburg, a component of the Second Battle of Winchester. The 126th escaped to Harper's Ferry and afterwards moved to Washington (City). On July 9, 1863, the Regiment was assigned to the Third Brigade, Third Division, Third Army Corps, commanded by General French. From this point to the end of the war, the history of the 126th is identified with that of the Army of the Potomac.

On the 16th of September, the Regiment returned to Virginia.

She was converted at the age of 18 and united with the Methodist Church.

Funeral services were held in the home at 10:30 am Sunday, Jan 27, by Reb. GW Mitchell, and she was laid to rest by the side of her husband in the Franklin Cemetery.

Her two daughters, Mrs. Sayre and Mrs. Nyburg, from Kansas, cared for her in her last illness, and with their families attended the funeral on Sunday. The sympathy of the whole community goes out to them in their double bereavment.
