	Mustered March 12th 1864. Participated in the Battle of the Wilderness and all following engagements of the Army of the Patomac, including Cold Harbor. Although commissioned a lieutenant, Edwin had command of his company during all of that time. Edwin was mortally wounded and taken prisoner, most likely just northeast of Fletcher's Redoubt, to a field hospital. He died June 7th. 9 years later his father, Dr. Luther Rogers, received a letter from a man who's son was a southern surgeon. The surgeon had treated Edwin in the field hospital and noticed a fraternity pin on his uniform. The surgeon was a member of the same fraternity (DKE) and did everything he could to care for his fraternity brother. With the letter was included a lock of Edwin's hair and the fraternity pin. Edwin's grave is at the Cold Harbor cemetery, Cold Harbor, Hanover County, Virginia, USA, plot 812. There is also a memorial inscription for Edwin on the back of his mother's grave stone on the Patten Cemetery, Patten Maine.
