"Enlisted in Company D, Twenty-second Michigan Infantry, March 28, 1865, at Pontiac, for 1 year, age 21. Mustered March 28, 1865. Joined regiment at Chattanooga, Tennessee, April 12, 1865. Transferred to Company D, Twenty-ninth Michigan Infantry, June 29, 1865. Mustered out at Murfreesboro, Tennessee, September 6, 1865. Died June 29, 1898. Buried at Mt. Clemens, Michigan. Enlistment Rank: Private. Pension: Pension Request filed by veteran 3/28/1892, Application 1102007.
Widow (Madiline) filed request 7/18/1898, Application 679787.
Both requests filed from Michigan.
Researchers Note: This veteran was buried as an indigent soldier according to the Indigent Soldier Burial Report, Volume A.
Researchers Note: The two government issued headstones for this veteran are in separate sections of this cemetery. From the "Record of Service of Michigan Volunteers in the Civil War 1861-1865", as outlined above, this veteran served in both the 22nd and the 29th Michigan Infantry; however, it is unusual for two headstones for the same veteran to be issued by the government. No question exists that these headstones are for the same veteran; however, the reason for the issuance of two headstones and the placement of same in separate cemetery sections is unknown. Possibly the answer to this question is the fact that there were three requests for military headstones (two for the 22nd Michigan and one for the 29th Michigan) and the government issued one for each unit."
