Company A

Private

My great-great grandfather was John C. Miller, born in Prussia about 1832 (original name probably Müller or Meuller), immigrated about 1857, settled in St. Joseph, MO. Served as a private in the 13th/25th Missouri Volunteer Infantry, then later was an 'articifer' in the 1st Missouri Engineers. He was wounded at Shiloh, and died in 1887 in St. Joseph, partially from the debilitating effects of having contracted malaria during the war. His widow applied for and received a widow's pension until her death in 1916.

Company G

2nd Lieutenant

Any available information about Stephan Brown would be appreciated. The 25th had a close call early in the morning of the first day at Shiloh, but Stephen apparently was not captured. Born in NY in 1828 and died in Bath, Mason County, IL, 1917. His tombstone states that he was in Co. A of the 25th MO, but other records state it was Co. G. My real interest is based on the fact that his brother-in-law, my great great grandfather, Pvt. Henry Beadle (Co. C, 12th Iowa) was captured at Shiloh and died a prisoner at Macon, GA.

Company H

Private

John was in the Battle of Shiloh, Tenn. The 25th Missouri was part of General Prentiss' 6th Division, Army of the Tennesee. Colonel Peabody was Commanding the 25th and died in battle there, Company 'H' was part of the Reconnoitering party sent out on patrol @ 0200 in the early morning to look for Confederate Troops and they found more than that as they were ambushed by Confederates. The uproar and shooting of muskets alerted all the Federal forces who may have been caught in their tents asleep. John developed a 'drop foot' and was discharged and he later enlisted in the 12th Missouri Cavalry and served out the war, being Discharged 9 April 1866.
