Killed in the battle of Fredericksburg, December 13th, 1862, George Q. Junkin, in
the 26th year of his age. George was the youngest son of Benjamin and Ann M. Junkin,
of Emlenton, Venango, Pa. He had grown up under religious influences, and in his
twenty-first year united with the Presbyterian church of Emlenton, which he remained
a consistent member till the time of his death. Having spent a year or two in the
West, he returned a few months before open hostilities commenced. When the flag of
his country was assailed, he felt it his duty to stand in its defence; accordingly,
he enlisted in Co. D, 1st Reg't. Pa. Rifles, (Bucktails) under Captain, now Colonel,
Stone. He entered the service in May, 1861. He was in the battle of Drainsville, in
the long battle near Richmond, (where he was taken prisoner and retained ten weeks)
in one or two skirmishes, and in the battle of Fredericksburg, where he fell while
making a charge upon the enemy…  He was the youngest of a family of nine children,
eight of whom are still living...
