Gacoigne's obituary was in the Daily Huronite, Huron, Beadle, South Dakota, 25 Feb 1910, page 1, column 6 "STEPHEN GASCOIGNE - Aged Man Passed Away this Morning After Months of Suffering." He is buried in Riverside Cemetery (Huron).

The Gascoigne family came to Cavour Township in 1883 and son Phillip S. later lived in Broadland.

Civil War Burials

kimberlygdugay — 2009-10-14 16:06:20Z

My Great-Great-Great Grandfather was part of the 4th WI volunteers and I have been trying to find his burial location. He died Oct 1864 of disease in Baton Rouge General Hospital. I have ordered his pension papers and searched various online databases to see if I could find his burial location. I have not had ANY luck. Does anyone have any ideas?

His name was William "Wilhelm" Toelle
Some information I have found shows William "Wilhelm" Tell and John W Toelle

Any insight would be much appreciated!

Hello,
did you find an indication whether your gg-grandfather Benedict Gosser could be related with that person to be found in the Wisconsin Roster as Benedict or Benjamin Gassier?
The reason is, I am looking for the life of a Benedict Geser and therefore I am doing research on the above mentioned possibility also.

I have a whole letter written about the Gale's. Down to the daughter of Capt. Charles Gale. I have Capt. Charles Gale and his wife's picture when they went to Paris, France on their honeymoon in 1839. Their daughter was the last Gale in that line. They then used it as a given name and I am the last one to have it as my first name. Ellen Gale was my great-great grandmother. She married John Harvey Fesler. That was my maiden name. Gail Fesler. I am doing a Fesler family tree and you can contact me anytime.

janderson18129 — 2008-08-19 23:31:41Z

The Book "The Sultana Tragedy" By Jerry O. Potter (Pelican Publishing 1992) has a fairly good (albeit incomplete) list of the crew, civilian passengers and military passengers starting on page 197 and ending on 260. No "John Curry" is listed, but a "M. Currey" (Private, Company I of the Kentucky 4th Cavalry) is listed as a survivor. My G3 Grandfather and two more removed relatives were survivors of the Cahaba Alabama camp and the Sultana incident.
Hope this helps you,

I haven't read anything about switching from Cav to Inf- though I know guys switched companies for whatever reason. Perhaps there was something personal going on and its been lost by now.
I've seen widows applying for pensions years after the CW, though 30+ yrs is a might bit strange. I don't think the need for money is any different than what it was 80+ yrs ago; at that point in her life, she probably wasn't holding f/t work and with no Social Security and etc handy, it probably made sense to apply for it.
Not sure if this helps or if anyone else will have an idea...

Dr. Abram Preston (A. W. Preston), Co. S, 6th Inf. Wisconsin

Gene_Junky — 2007-01-20 16:57:50Z

I am preparing a report about select graves from a cemetery in Rumney, Grafton Co., New Hampshire. Among the graves being reported is the resting place of Dr. A. W. Preston, aka Abram Preston.
Having extracted the information about Dr. Abram Preston, Co S., 6th Inf, Wisconsin from American Civil War Soldiers (www.ancestry.com) I find conflicting information about the date his service began.
The record reports that he was "promoted to Full Surgeon on 13 Jun 1861," and that he "enlisted as a [sic] Assistant Surgeon on 15 October 1861."
I hope to resolve this discrepancy before finalizing my report.
Any assistance is appreciated. --GeneJ
Separately, Dr. Preston's brother, Clinton F. Preston served Co. A., 12th Inf. New Hampshire. He was wounded at Chancellorsville, VA 03 May 1863. According to the limited information I have reviewed about the 6th Wisconsin, it looks as though A. W.'s WI regiment was in the same battle/date, at Chancellorsville. Am I correct?
As an aside, Dr. Preston's first cousin, Corporal John A. Preston (Co. H., 14th Inf., New Hampshire) died of disease at Washington D. C., in 1864.

Have any of you ever gotten military service records copied from the NARA?

I did a search on their website and found the only one close to the person's name I'm searching for from the same state and am trying to verify that it is the correct person. Do you know if they put their correct ages down or just made sure they were above 21 or 18? Also it has that he's from a different city in WI, but could this just be where they signed up at?

I was raised across the street from a cemetery dating from the late eighteenth century.
Linus Bascom was buried in Russell, Massachusetts; a fine spot on the edge of the woods. I recall his tombstone read "died from wounds received in battle"
How he ended up there I'll likely never know.
I would love to see that letter!

My GGG-grandfather Philip Rhodes fought for the 2nd wisconsin cav. company A and also fought for the 11th wisonsin Inf. Company C. The records I have found online show that he only fought for about 5 months in the year 1865. How common was it to go from cav. to inf.? Do you think maybe he served longer in the cav. and then only served 5 months in the inf.?

He died around 1888 and his widow married two times both husbands died before she did. After the last husband dies she THEN , in 1920 files for a widows pension for her first husband . I do not understand why someone would wait that long to file? Any suggestions?

I know I should just send off for the pension file. i am wondering how differant a regular pension file would be from a widows pension file?

Any thoughts?

Thank you John for your reply and your thoughts on this matter.

I now understand why she filed for a widows pension in 1930.There was a declaration of widows pension passed in 1930 that upped payment to $40 a month if you were over 70. in1930 she was 73 years old. I think she must have initialy filed in 1913 when a widows pension could be given REGAURDLESS of other means of income.
She was married a total of 3 times-each husband preceded in death. That is why she could not file for a widows pension before 1913.
Here is the link that provides a breakdwon in pension acts.

tenth U S Infantry - regulars - 1860 training for company H - where?

poliahu11 — 2008-02-15 13:43:52Z

I am trying to locate Frederic Perles, enlisted as Parlos, in the 1860 Federal Census. He enlised in the 10th U S Infantry in April of 1860 at Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Where would he have been sent for training prior to being sent to New Mexico, and how long was the training period at that time? He was a bugler.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Do you know of any way I could track down pictures of the 48th, Company G? I've tried the Library of Congress and the Wisconsin Historical Society. I'm also searching for pics of 1st Cavalry Co. D.
