At Lowell,
Mass.on the twenty-fifth day of August, 1862, I entered the service,
as private, in Company E. 6th Mass. Regiment Infantry for nine months
and at the close of the war I held the rank of Corporal
By reason
of term of enlistment having expired, I was first discharged on
June 3rd, 1863 at Lowell, Mass.
I again
enlisted on July 8th, 1864 in 6th Mass. M. V. M. and my term of
enlistment having expired, I was finally discharged on October 27th,
1864 at Readville, Mass.
I took
part in the Battle of Deserted House, Blackwater, “Siege of
Suffolk” and Carsville.
I was never
wounded, confined in hospital, or taken prisoner.
Among my
most intimate comrades were Chauncy W. Fuller, Chas. H. Holten,
Frank H. Whitcomb, Henry Willard and Chas. Jefta.
Circumstances
connected with the “Deserted House”, I deem the important
feature of my army life. |
