Memory
by Noreen Shirey for Thomas Brinkley, Army, Honored by Seceder Presbyterian Cemetery

He was my 3rd Great Grandfather who was in his 60’s when he signed up for the Civil War after the battle of Gettysburg. Story was that recruitment came back to Clarion PA needing men. They men were told that Lee would be back and they expected him to come for Fort Pitt and he won he would be in Clarion County in no time, They urged men to join so they could fight outside of their backyard.
