I am interested in getting in contact with anyone who has more information about the 14th Wisc. Aside from the pension records and what I can find on the net I do not have much more about this regiment.

According to the ROSTER OF WISCONSIN VOLUNTEERS, an Erik Nelson of Eaton was mustered into Company G, 14th Wisconsin Infantry, on 23 Sep 1861, and died on 24 Jul 1862 at Keokuk, Iowa. This soldier was just 23 when he died. There is no one by this name (or closely resembling it) in Eaton Twp. at the time of the 1860 census.

Suffered from rhumetism due to fording icy rivers and sleeping on frozen ground. Died 2/7/1933 in Port Washington, Ozaukee County, WI.

I would be interested if anyone might have a picture of him. I believe he was from Sheboygan, Wisconsin.

Don't know much except that he was promoted to Sgt. He was wounded during the Vicksburg campaign. He is related to my grandmother's family by marriage
