John Kibler 

John Kibler of Co. D., 115th Penna. Vols., who was killed at the late battle near 
Fredericksburg, was a son of Mr. Jacob Kibler of Chest township, this county. and 
was aged about 21 years. He was an estimable young man and much beloved by 
all who knew him.  A letter from one of his messmates speaks of him as having 
been brave as a lion and says that he "fell at his post."  He was shot through the 
head, death ensuing instantaneously.  Peace to his ashes!
