Hi 47thPennVols, a superbly detailed piece of work. Looks about ready to GAN to me. However, it needs cites for "Three years later, Skellie’s security was altered dramatically when his father died, and was laid to rest at the Mina Cemetery." In Formative years; and for "Following funeral services, she was laid to rest at the same cemetery in Mina where her sister had been buried nearly 30 years earlier." in Post-war life.

Gog the Mild Thank you so much for the suggested edits and your kind words. I've tweaked the wording of the lead, and have added the citations you recommended. Would appreciate your re-review for B-Class. Kind Regards. 47thPennVols (talk) 16:40, 27 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
Cumulatively, your articles are bringing to life for me a corner of history I didn't know existed. Gog the Mild (talk) 18:30, 27 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
You just made my day (and month, and probably the year, too). Thank you so much. 47thPennVols (talk) 18:50, 27 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
You are most welcome. The way that you do 'full' biographies means that the reader not only learns of the battlefield events, and the operational circumstances which gave rise to them, but something of normal life in the north east United States in the second half of the 19th century. Having read several of your ACW biographies I am starting, I thing, to get a real feel for the time and place. Thank you. Gog the Mild (talk) 23:40, 27 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
