Henry A. Yonge

Henry Augustus Yonge, a member of the St. Louis Camp, No 731, U.C.V. died on September 27, 1917, 
at San Francisco, Cal, aged seventy-two years.  He was born at Geneva, Ala. and enlisted 
in the Confederate army on March 22, 1862, serving in Company A, 37th Alabama Infantry, 
under Colonel Dowdell; was in active service until surrendered at Jonesboro, N.C., in 
April 1865.  He served as second sergeant until 1864, when he was elected second lieutenant 
of Company A and was in Command of the company at the close of the war, due to the absence of  
Captain Greene, who was acting colonel of the regiment. Comrade Yonge was wounded in the 
battle of Missionary Ridge.

After the war he practiced law and made his home in St. Louis for many years, when his 
health failed, and he moved to California.  He was a good soldier and a devoted husband 
and father.
