Soldiers around House

[BrianHistory150]

What soldiers were stationed/shot from behind the McClellan's house (where Jennie Wade was killed)? I know there's a soldier's initials on the bldg from the 75th Pennsylvania Volunteers. What other soldiers may have heard Jennie's mother or Georgia's screams after Jennie was shot/killed?

From the report of Captain Emil Koenig commanding 58th New York Infantry:

At 6 o'clock in the morning, we were ordered to the right of the road leading to Gettysburg. We were posted behind a stone fence to the left of Captain Wiedrich's battery. Lieutenant Schwartz, with one company, was sent to take possession of the next houses of the town to the left of the road. The enemy's sharpshooters kept up a brisk fire at these houses, and killed a girl who was living in one of them. Our men escaped uninjured, although they had possession of the house until the end of the battle, and the house was completely pierced by bomb-shells and rifle-balls. The fire of these sharpshooters was very annoying to us, as we could not show our heads above the fence without being fired at; however, they did us no damage.
