“Since we have got near Alexandria there have been many men returned who were sick in the

This “Lt. Mcenich” can be identified as Harvey McAninch, Co. G, 105th Penn. Inf., who enlisted

as a Lt. 2nd Class on 25 Oct. 1861, was promoted to full Lt. 1st Class on 1 Aug 1862, and then

discharged because of wounds on 6 Oct. 1862 [“Second Lieutenants ... Harvey McAninch, E. H.

McAninch ...”, History of Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, Kate M. Scott, 1888, Syracuse, pg. 161].

 

Could this also be (Milton) Harvey McAninch, born 1839-1840, son of Elijah and Jean M. (Crowe)

McAninch (Elijah died 1 Aug. 1840) [McAninch, Orphans' Court Records, Jefferson County, Penn.],

and also served later: McAninch, Milton H., 1st Lt., Co. B, 211th Reg. Pa. Vol. [Scott, 1888, p.170]?

1900, Alabama – “McAninch, Albert / Boarder / M W / [born] Sept. 1872 / [age] 27 / S [single]

[occ] Electrician / b.Pennsylvania / f.b.Pennsylvania / m.b.Pennsylvania”; 1900 Census, Alabama,

Jefferson County, E.D.131, Ensley City [metro Birmingham], 9 June 1900 ; T623 Roll 22 p.316 ln.31

 

1901, Johnstown, Cambria County, Pennsylvania -- Albert McAninch was a boarder at the home of

his future wife, Eva Masters, and her widowed mother, Anna Masters, at 118 Walnut Street. In 1902,

just the women live at this address [Johnstown, Pennsylvania, city directory entries].

 

Eva Masters was born in Braddock Borough, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, in the early 1880’s

[1882, if the Brush Creek Church Cemetery record is correct]. Albert and Eva were married later,

circa 1906, although we do not know exactly when or where they were married.
