engaged in farming in this county and was 27 years old when he decided to 
fight for the preservation of this country, Aug. 13, 1862; he entered the 
ranks at New Albany, Ind., as a private in Co. C., 81st Ind. V.I., 14th A.C., 
and in due time was promoted to Corp. and Sergt. He was never wounded but was

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.
