 During the Civil War, Daniel Paul served as a Private in the 130th Pennsylvania Infantry, Company H.  After the Civil War, he moved to Michigan, but kept in touch with his Lykens Valley friends and relatives via correspondence to the editor of the Lykens newspaper.

One result of that correspondence from the year 1903 is reported below:
