Dennis L. Byrn
The subject of this record was born in Harrison Co., Ind., April 10, 1826. The 
maiden name of his wife, to whom he was married June 4, 1854, in Harrison Co., 
Ind., was Martha J.  Fite who was born in Jeffersonville, Ind., Jan. 25, 1836. 
Her father, John Fite and her mother, Eliza (Starr) Fite have both passed 
away. Two children were born to this marriage: Norman and Arthur, the latter 
being deceased. Our subject was following his trade as a blacksmith at the 
time of his enlistment which occurred Sept. 23, 1864, at Jeffersonville, Ind., 
when 38 years old. He cast his lot as a soldier with Co. I, 42d Ind. V.I.  He 
was put on detached service most of his enlistment until stricken with chronic 
diarrhea when he was treated in Co. Qtrs. He was honorably discharged June 18, 
1865, at Louisville, Ky., and died at Byrneville, Indiana, Sept. 2, 1865, from 
chronic diarrhea contracted in service and from which he never recovered. His 
wife had three brothers in the volunteer service: Samuel in 66th Ind. V.I. was 
captured and released on parole, John in Co. C, 81st Ind. V.I., and Capt. 
Andrew in 66th Ind. V.I.  She had two uncles who served through the war, David 
and Daniel Starr. Daniel Starr also served in the Mexican war. Our subject’s 
widow has a pension and her address is New Albany, Indiana.

Additional Comments:
I came across the photocopied pages in a file at the public
library in New Albany. I have never been able to locate an
original copy of the book.
