“Trying to enlist as a
soldier in Cival (sic) War. He was
only sixteen years of age. He had
two brothers and a brother in law in the service. Like most boys was very anxious to go. He was young so none of the recruiting
officers would accept him.
He decided to run away from home thinking if he could find his brothers or
brother in law they might be able to get him in. On and on he went. One night
in camp at Madison Wisconsin, he was taken sick. High fever, delirious at times… pleaded for water to
drink. The doctor would not allow
him to have any. After two days of
suffering he managed to get out of bed and crawled from one bunk to another
–drank all the water he could find in the canteens. Crawled back to bed.
Next morning he was broken out with a rash. Doctor ordered him taken to the hospital tent. His sickness proved to be measles. He always claimed drinking the water
saved him. They kept him in the
hospital for several days. In the
meantime a young man gave him a cap and canteen.
When he was released from the hospital he started out as a drummer boy. He also carried water to the sick and
wounded soldiers. And did what he
could for the dieing (sic). At
Gettysburg he found his brother in law, at Seminary Ridge his eldest brother,
Dan.
In March 1864 [actually March 1865] he enlisted in Company Twenty Second
Wisconsin Infantry. Was honorably
discharged in June 1865.”
