- Lot Description
Folk art carved bone, heart-shaped scarf ring, 1.25 x 1.5 in., with decorated and painted stars and banners reading W.J. Manary/ Prisoner Of War/ June 30 1862.
William J. Manary was born in Ireland but immigrated to the United States to work as a glass cutter. At age 21, he enlisted in the army as a private and mustered into the 1st Massachusetts on May 23, 1861. He fought at the Battle of Bull Run and the Siege of Yorktown before being wounded at the Battle of Williamsburg on May 5, 1862. He was listed as a POW on June 30, 1862 at Savage's Station and paroled. After his release, he returned to his regiment and fought at the Battles of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg before being discharged for disability on April 6, 1864. Soon after his discharge, he filed for his pension and married another Irish immigrant named Mary. He became a naturalized citizen on the United States in 1866 and continued to work as a glass cutter until at least 1880.
