Henry A. Yonge

Henry Augustus Yonge, a member of the St. Louis Camp, No 731, U.C.V. died on
September 27, 1917, at San Francisco, Cal, aged seventy-two years. He was
born at Geneva, Ala. and enlisted in the Confederate army on March 22, 1862,
serving in Company A, 37th Alabama Infantry, under Colonel Dowdell; was in
active service until surrendered at Jonesboro, N.C., in April 1865. He
served as second sergeant until 1864, when he was elected second lieutenant
of Company A and was in Command of the company at the close of the war, due
to the absence of Captain Greene, who was acting colonel of the regiment.
Comrade Yonge was wounded in the battle of Missionary Ridge.

After the war he practiced law and made his home in St. Louis for many
years, when his health failed, and he moved to California. He was a good
soldier and a devoted husband and father.
