Henry Dow Wood was born Jan 2, 1836 in Franklin, PA and died Oct. 12, 1864 near Atlanta, GA. He was the son of Beder Wood Sr. (1805-1882) and Sarah Fletcher (1812-1880). His siblings included Beder J., George Pitt, Abner, Adelaide Wood Hawkins Ide, Sarah Wood Davis Hawn, Hannah Wood Wing and David Wilmot.

We visited the Neosho Historical Society a few years back and heard a reference to someone who had visited the cemetery in Neosho, WI where brothers Henry Dow and Abner Wood are buried. The people were possibly from MN or MI and had Henry Dow Wood’s Civil War Journal. We would love to connect with these people if possible to share information about the family.

Both Henry Dow and Abner were killed during the Civil War. They both enlisted in the WI 3rd Infantry, Co. A. Henry later re-enlisted as a Veteran in the IL 34th.

Thank you!!
