David Hayes McMicken lived a quiet life as a farmer in rural Lycoming County, Pa., until the Civil War began. He answered President Abraham Lincoln's call to defend the country, and joined the 34th Pennsylvania Infantry. This was in June 1861. A year later during the Peninsula Campaign, he became a casualty at the Battle of Gaines' Mill.
