Notes from Geo. W. Arbogast, continued. See, Goin' Up Gandy, A History of the
Dry Fork Region of Randolph and Tucker Counties West Virginia, by Don Teter, p.
98 and, History of Pendleton County West Virginia, by Morton, p. 405, 422
regarding a George Arbogast and Mathias Helmick being indicted for the ambush
shooting of Capt. Absalom H. Nelson on Horse Camp Road about a mile from Harmon
during the Civil War. Both Arbogast and Helmick had been members of Nelson's
C. Co., 62nd Virginia Regiment, CSA. They were never brought to trial.
Arbogast had been in a Pendleton County Militia unit at the beginning of the
war. Capt. Nelson lived in Pendleton Co. Since there were several George
Arbogasts in Pendleton and Randolph Counties, it is not certain that this
person was involved in the episode. Also see, History of Pendleton County West
Virginia, by Morton, a 1974 reprint of the 1910 publication, p. 402, a George
Arbogast is listed as being in a Company of Home Guards organized by Union
forces, April 30, 1965 to May 31, 1865.
