By HAZEL BAIER
The red brick house "with its
gleaming shutters and white steps
leading down to the narrow street
does not differ greatly from its
neighbors. Nor is it very different
from those stately structures found
in the older sections of Baltimore
nor Philadelphia. Yet as one lifts
the knocker of this door, perhaps not
once, but several times a tinj
white haired lady opens the door,
and the housd becomes unique
"Prim" is the word that immediately
enters the mind when the visitor
sees Mrs. Amanda Homan, 90, oJ
Gettysburg, Pa.
Sitting in her quiet home sur
rounded by the heavy dark furniture
of the Civil War period it is easy to
vision the hours of the beginning of
the terrific Gettysburg struggles of
July 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. This Inde
pendent lady with the sparkling eyes
tells its story. She was a girl of
17 a dressmaker at the Bluebaugh
hotel during the Civil War.
"We had heara Uie cannon snots
early that morning, Wednesday, at
Seminary Ridge. We baked bread in
the forenoon. ( After the fighting be
came more steady about 10 o'clock,
Mrs. Bluebaugh said 'We'd better fix
something for supper. No tellin' if
we'll have time later'. After noon
there was a lull, then the severe
fighting began nearer the town about
two o'clock. We rushed to the cel
lar for protection. We hovered there
wondering how long it would last.
Crash of bullets became so terrible
about four o'clock that Mr. Blue
baugh went upstairs. He was met
by an officer who demanded 'Where
is the proprietor?' . . . 'You'll have
to get out as quick as you can. This
building can be set afire any time.
Sharpshooters have taken possession.'
"Yes, yes,' said the fiery young
girl again becomes, a lady of 90,
well, we were ordered out of the
hotel."
The group Mr. and Mrs. Blue
baugh, a farmer who had come into
town, and Amanda were slipped
out of the house. They only
glimpsed sharpshooters firing out of
windows. The officer led them down
an alley. Bullets whizzed over their
heads. Finally they reached, the out
skirts of the town and were left to
go through a cornfield the present
site of the National Cemetery to
the Baltimore Pike. They half ran
until they were some distance from
the town.
As they went along the road they
passed one man sitting on a porch
looking down at the stub that a few
hours before had held his hand.
Blood ran from it. An- old blanket,
his only medical supply, lay beside
him. Many such sights met them as
they went down the road. At the end
of five miles they came to the home
of friends. There,' the next morning,
little Laura Bluebaugh was born.
By Sunday reports came that fight
ing had ceased. The hotel-keeper de
cided to return to the town. He left
with tne understanding that If he
did not come back to the farm by the
following morning Amanda would
know it was safe for her to come into
town. Jacob Bluebaugh did not re
turn. Monday the "slip of a girl"
walked the five miles up the Pike to
town.
"I would never come up that Balti
more Pike to-day," she exclaims,
"the road was full of wounded men
and I met long wagons hauling hun
dreds of dead Avrapped only in rugs
or bed clothing."
It was necessary to dispose of the
bodies quickly. As coffins were
scarce the men were wrapped in
blankets or rugs and dropped into
hurriedly made graves. Many were
taken up later.
The town's favorite amusement
spot, the ten-pin alley, turned its ac
tivities to making rough boxes for
bodies that had to be shipped.
The Bluebaughs found their hotel
in quite a demolished condition.
Soldiers had been killed in the living
room. One shell entered the wall on
the second floor, " leaving a pile of
mortar about four feet In diameter
and three feet high, passed through
a door on the opposite side, hit the
parlor stove stored on the landing
and broke it into pieces. The parti
tion between two of the downstairs
rooms had been shot away.
Then Amanda heard of the death
of her friend, Jennie Wade. "I re
member having talked to her on the
first morning of the battles. I step
ped out to get a glass of water. She
was standing across the street at the
home of her sister, Mrs. McClellan.
I called 'Jen, are you moving?' then
she was killed Friday morning! Ter
rible, terrible!" She pauses a little
In remembrance of this young girl,
then goes on "But wonderful, won
derful, the people that lived here,
and only Jen killed."
Stories drifted ' in from the town
of neighbors who hid men of both
armies behind barrels, in woodsheds,
or in cellars, because "they couldn't
bear to see them good lookin young
men killed."
From one house up the street came
the story of the carpenter's wife
who pushed a southern officer off her
doorstep and into the street. Scream
ing, "Your sharpshooters'll not shoot
any union boys from this house," she
bolted the door with pieces of lumber.
On Tuesday Amanda went out to
the fields. At the spot of the hard
est fighting, now marked by the high
water monument, bodies still lay
four and six deep.
In Gettysburg to-day one can see
bullet marks of the famous battles
on the board fences and on the older
houses. But very few are those who
remember the battle so vividly as this
little lady on main street.
Movin' on.
