Horace was my great-great grandfather on my mother's side. He joined the unit upon it's formation in 1861. In 1864, he became ill and was sent to a Federal hospital in Indiana, where his wife helped nurse him back to health. After the war, he returned to Juneau Co., Wisconsin. He remarried and moved to Indiana after his wife died of cancer. Horace continued to have bouts of the illness he had contracted during the war.
