Original Civil War Officer's Maroon Sash Verbally Id'd To Col. Williams, 9th PA
This has a verbal identification to Colonel Edward Williams, 9th PA. Author/historian Randy Hacenburg acquired this piece from a Williams family estate sale. Edward Charles Williams was born in Philadelphia in 1820.

He served as a Captain during the Mexican war. He enlisted on 4/19/1861 into the US volunteers General staff. On 11/21/1861, he was commissioned as Colonel of the 9th Pennsylvania Cavalry. He died in 1900 and is buried in Port Trevorton, Pennsylvania.

I was not given any other provenance other than this verbal history. I still found it to be interesting however. This sash measures approximately 125" long and 3 1/2" wide with a couple of small snags as shown and a slight plum color through out.
