- Summary
- Upon the death of Lancaster's General John Reynolds at the Battle of Gettysburg, a gold ring on a chain was found around his neck. It was inscribed "Dear Kate." The Reynolds family had not known that Reynoldshad planned to marry Catherine Mary Hewitt, "Kate". They did not even know of her until she visited Reynolds sister's home in Philadelphia to view his body. Ms Hewitt and General Reynolds had planned that if he did not survive the war, she would enter a convent. She followed through with the plan and entered a convent in Emittsburg,Pa. She left the service to the church 5 years later. The writer of this article could not determine what then happened to Kate.

In their own words: Dreaming on the Conestoga. [in The Gettysburg Magazine]

- Notes
- In: The Gettysburg Magazine, no.37 (June 2007)
- "In recent years, new first person accounts of the Civil War frequently emerge. Usually they are in the form of either long-stored letters or diaries. The following account has a different origin. In 1912, Benjamin F. W. Urban published a book of sonnets and poetry titled "Dreaming on the Conestoga". Buried as the last chapter is the story of his experience as a soldier in the 1st Pennsylvania Reserves (30th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry) at the battle of Gettysburg. The value of the account, as in most veteran reminiscences, is in the events he observed directly, here told by an articulate observer. As in all such accounts, things not seen directly can be taken, at best, only as an informed source."
