The Maine Adjutant General's report of 1864, p. 717, states that Almon Grover, then 23 years old, was enlisted from Bridgton as a private into Company F of the 30th Maine Infantry on December 29, 1863, and that he was discharged due to a disability on June 13, 1865.
Information in the National Archives file of "Headstones Provided for Deceased Union Civil War Veterans" (Publication M1845) establishes that an unnamed party about 1880 requested the production of a headstone for the the soldier to be delivered to Portland's Evergreen Cemetery, but the photo shown here is not that memorial. The other names on the headstone shown here are those of his sister, Helen, who died in 1913, and his brother, Alpheus, who died as a prisoner of war in Texas on June 18, 1864.
