- [S927] Obituary.
Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, June 1, 1905
Died May 13, 1905, John G. Distler. He was born August 26, 1841, near Lewisville, Monroe county, Ohio, and at the time of his death had reached 63 years, 8 months and 18 days.
He was united in marriage April 1st 1866 to Catharine Young of Monroe county, Ohio. To this union were given seven children all of whom are living and all were present to unite their strength in a common sorrow for the loss of a kind father and devoted husband. Amid a bed of flowers he was laid to rest in the Lewisville cemetery Monday afternoon. He was buried by the I.O.O.F., G.A.R., and Sons of Veterans of Lewisville assisted by the and G.A.R of Stafford and Woodsfield.
Religious services were conducted by Rev. Hafele of Woodsfield.
He enlisted Nov.26, 1861, as a private in Co.?s G. and D. 7th Regiment W.Va., Infantry and was promoted to Corporal July 2, 1862, and afterward promoted to Lieutenant. He was discharged July 28, 1865. He was engaged in all the battles of his regiment and was wounded at Spottsylvania in the leg, Gettysburg in head and at Antitem in the hand.
Mr. Distler had a surprising accurate memory; he was very good in the remembrance of all the noted battles that were fought during the rebellion and on up to the date of his death he still kept those noted days green in his mind by having the stars and stripes floating in the air from a pole he had erected for that purpose at his home.
So ends the life of Comrade Distler.

Lieut John George Distler
Birth: Aug. 26, 1841
Death: May 13, 1905
Lieutenant John George Distler was in Companies G & D, Union Regimental Forces of 7th West Virginia Volunteer Infantry, in the Civil War. The 7th West Virgina was made up largely of Ohio Volunteers who fought in the 2nd Army Corps. Many were from the Monroe County Ohio region.
Over the course of the war the 7th West Virginia fought as part of the highly regarded Second Corps of the Army of the Potomac and saw action in every major engagement of the Eastern Theatre, including Antietam (where Kimball's Brigade battled the Confederates at Bloody Lane, resulting in the regiment's highest casualties of the war), Fredericksburg (where Kimball's Brigade led the Union assault on the stone wall at the foot of Marye's Heights), Chancellorsville (where the countercharge by a portion of Kimball's former brigade, now Carroll's, in which the 7th West Virginia took part, helped delay the Confederate advance on the Chancellor House crossroads) and Gettysburg (where the countercharge of Carroll's Brigade on the second day helped save the Union guns on East Cemetery Hill). The regiment was in the thick of the fighting in each of these battles and acquitted itself with distinction.
