Mathias Selak - Civil War band leader

Looking for data on Civil War veteran Mathias Selak
who served as a civilian band leader with the 87th
Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. The unit mustered
in York in September 1861, but Selak did not join
the unit until July 1864. I am writing a history of
the regiment and am seeking firsthand accounts by
the veterans. I am also building a database of
personal data on each soldier and need your help in
that huge task.

I know little about Mathias Selak:

Selak, Mathias, Civilian; joined July 1864;
left the regiment Oct 1864; born @1828/29;
a restauranteur from York
