Biographical Bytes from Bala #037
John Trout Greble was a Philadelphian descended from colonial pioneers on both sides of his family. He graduated with honors from Central High School and to the shock of many, this delicate young man chose a career in the military. After he graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1854, he spent time in Florida during the Seminole displacement of Trail of Tears, before he taught ethics at West Point and married the chaplain’s daughter. His first taste of war was as leader of artillery at the Battle of Big Bethel in Southern Virginia in June 1861 where he was killed in action – the first West Point graduate to fall in the American Civil War. Lt Greble is interred in the Merion Section of Laurel Hill West.
