Nathaniel B. Petts was my great-grandfather and served in Company C and receiving a medical discharge in late 1962. He re-enlisted twice more during the war. About 1870 he moved from his home in Watseka, Illinois to Windsor, Henry County Missouri. Then to rural Benton County, Missouri and then to Warsaw, Missouri and died there in 1917 of a heart attack. Part of his family continued to live in Warsaw, including my self, my brother, James and my sister, Ann. See 'Private Smith's Journal' The Lakeside Press, 1963 for a detailed account of this Company during the war.
