Allentown Democrat, October 1, 1862

James Clader Killed

James Clader, son of Valentine Clader, of this place, a member of the 46th regiment, was killed in the battle at Sharpsburg. His remains will be brought home.

Oct 1, 1862

The Allentown Democrat did not get it quite right. Valentine Clader was James' grandfather, not his father. James was the son of Ephraim and Catharine Clader of Allentown, Pennsylvania.
