I found some more information on Harry Isett; this is from the Blair County Historical Society: I checked in Floyd Hoenstine's book "Soldiers of Blair County" and in our index card records (taken from obituaries). Harry Isett is not mentioned in either but Henry Isett is mentioned. Harry could be a nickname for Henry. According to Hoenstine: Henry J. Isett was born in 1840 and died in 1917. He is buried in the Presbyterian Cemetery in Williamsburg, PA. He served as a Private in Palmers Infantry. According ot our index records, this information is from the Altoona Mirror (Weds. Jan. 2, 1918). Henry J. Isett died on Nov. 20, 1917 in Blair Co. He was a Civil War veteran having served as a Private in William J. Palmer's Independent Regiment (The Anderson Troop), Penna. Vol. There is no mention of surviving family. According to the record book for the Presbyterian Cemetery in Williamsburg, J. Henry Isett (1840-1917) is buried in Section A Row 6.
