Hegler’s Company, Roscoe Militia of the Minnesota Citizen Soldiers raised to
defend against the Sioux and mustered out 1 October 1862. He subsequently enlisted, at age 29, on
22 August 1864, in to Company D, 11th Regiment Minnesota Infantry along with
his brother-in-laws Loren and Harvey Webb. He mustered out 26 June 1865 at St. Paul, Minnesota. According to the History of Goodhue
County, 1909, page 211 - George Lantz, after escaping
the murderous rain of shot and shells on the battlefields of the Civil War,
perished in the following manner : In the winter of 1865-66 her went to
Mantorville, Dodge County, about twelve miles from his home, on horseback, and
returning in the evening a blizzard met him. While passing through a grove of timber he was warned of his
danger and told that it was practically impossible for him to reach home. He persevered, however, and was found
frozen to death the next morning within a few rods of his own home. He had reached a fence, and in
endeavoring to climb over he made a misstep and fell back, to rise no
more. The horse was found at a
neighbor’s barn. It is supposed
that he let the horse go, hoping that by walking he might induce sufficient
circulation to keep warmth and life in his body until he could reach his house.
