After the cavalry engagement here on June 29, 1863, Westminster’s citizens cared for dozens of wounded from both sides. Shattered and broken cannons, gun carriages, and caissons lined Court Street to Main Street after the Battle of Gettysburg, awaiting repair in Northern foundries and arsenals. The Union Meeting House atop a mound in Westminster Cemetery became a makeshift hospital, where military and civilian physicians, assisted by townspeople, treated the wounded; the building was razed in 1891, and an iron urn marks the site. The dead from the cavalry engagement were interred in the cemetery on July 1, but families and friends of the 1st Delaware cavalrymen later removed their remains to Delaware. The two dead Confederate officers, Lt. Pierre Gibson, Co. D, 4th Virginia Cavalry, and Lt. John W. Murray, Co. E, were reburied in the churchyard of the Ascension Episcopal Church, and Gibson’s remains were removed to Culpeper, Virginia, in 1867. Col. Paul J. Revere, 20th Massachusetts Infantry, grandson of his famous Revolutionary War namesake, fell wounded at Gettysburg on July 2, was brought to the City Hotel at Main and Court Streets to await family members, and died there on July 4 before they arrived.
