[CIVIL WAR]. Leather sword knot identified to John O. Morley, Company C, 6th New York Cavalry, DOW at Middletown Heights following Antietam.

18 in. ln. dark leather sword knot stamped, “M. LUTZ / US ORD. DEPT. / SUBINSPECTOR” and "US" (tassels intact and pliable, some cracking throughout). Additional stamp identifies the sword knot to "MORLEY 6 NY."

Research indicates that the sword knot almost certainly belonged to John O. Morley, who enlisted as a private, serving with Company C, 6th New York Cavalry. Between July and August 1862, Morley was promoted to corporal, but was wounded at Middletown Heights, MD, 9/17/1862, and died from those wounds at Frederick, MD, on 9/28/1862. Morley is buried at Antietam National Cemetery, grave site #158.
