He is listed as Ingval Thorsen in the register. Ingvald was mustered out with his unit and returned to Kenyon where he married and raised a family.

Company F
Robert Beith
- Private
Robert is my Great-Great-Great-Grandfather. He was born in Scotland in 1825. Served for three years in the 10th Minnesota Infantry, company F.

I have a tintype with the images of 5 men in Union uniforms, including Robert Beith. I am in search of the families of the other 4 men! My assumption is that the other men are in company F but I am far from sure. Maybe they were in the 10th Minnesota Infantry as well, but not company F. Contact me for more details - I have scanned the tintype and will certainly share. Hope to be able to share with descendants of the other 4 soldiers/compare images of the men.
