TAPS

Fading light dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky,
    Gleaming bright.
From afar drawing nigh,    
    Falls the night.

Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, From the hills,
    From the sky.
All is well, safely rest,
    God is nigh.

Then good night, Peaceful night,
Till the light of the dawn
    Shineth bright,
God is near, do not fear,
  Friend, good night.

BORN:  1844 at Chester, PA

Entered Service in the US Army from Chester, PA

Earned The Medal of Honor During the Civil War For heroism on May 18, 1864 at Bermuda Hundred, VA

DIED:  November 19, 1897 at the age of 53

The battle at Bermuda Hundred, Virginia, on May 18, 1864, proved to be a long and deadly struggle. As the battle continued, Union soldiers on the front line of battle began running low on ammunition and, but for re-supply, would have been forced to pull back. Sergeant James Engle volunteered to carry ammunition to the regiment, carrying his heavy burden under a heavy fire to first traverse the field of battle to reach the front lines, and then remained there under the guns of the enemy to distribute ammunition up and down the lines.
