Comments:
While the Civil War raged for the first three years, Thomas remained at home in Ossian. But this older brother's death during the 19 september, 1863 battle at Chickamauga spurred him to enlist. Still rather young and not physically strong, he overcame strong reluctance of his family to yet risk another of their sons for the Union and was enlisted by Captain Sewell at Zaneville on May 1st, 1864. He mustered in with Company D, 137th Indiana Volunteer Infantry for 100-days service on May 26th at Indianapolis by Lieutenant Ewers. He was described as nineteen years old with black eyes and black hair, dark complexion and standing five feet, seven inches. Tragically, his family's fears were soon realized. His delicate health caught up with him. The rigors of military life in the field and the ravages of the Southern climate felled him and he died a few days before the expiration of his term of service on August 17th, 1864 at Tullahoma, Tennessee. He was originally buried in the Normandy community until after the war when the U.S. Government conducted a project to gather the remains of as many of her soldiers as could be found. His remains were disinterred and moved to the newly established National Cemetery on the Stones River (Murfreesboro) battlefield in Tennessee. 137th Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry: Organized at Indianapolis, Ind., and mustered in May 26, 1864. Ordered to Tennessee and assigned to duty as Railroad Guard in Tennessee and Alabama, Dept. of the Cumberland, till September, 1864. Mustered out September 21, 1864. Lost during service 17 by disease. {Source: A Compendium of the War of the Rebellion by Frederick H. Dyer. Copyright, 1908.}
