William Lyman volunteered for the Union Army during the CW. My grandfather IAS wrote on a picture of William: "William Lyman Smothers Co G 45th Regt. OVI died from disease at Camp Chase near Lexington KY Jan 25 1863 Enlisted 1862 age 16y."
Martin was only eighteen and brother William not yet sixteen when they enlisted in the 45th Ohio Regiment. They trained in a camp in Kentucky where William contracted measles and was still sick when the Regiment went on the march. He was pronounced physically fit by the doctors but was so weak that Martin carried his gun and rifle on the march. William died on this march, I believe of pneumonia and was buried at Lexington, Kentucky.
My grandmother Elizabeth Birdsill in her "My Book of Memories" added, "Martin had always been strong, 'Husky they called him. William was delicate. What tragedies happen! And the boy face, under the soldier cap looking at me, is like our Willie and like Aunt Orrell."
