Henry Wingerter - Private
|
Henry enlisted in 1861 and fought in all the battles of the 83rd Indiana Infantry up until 4 June 1863 when he died of wounds received during the Vicksburg Campaign. His burial site is unknown. I hope it is in the Vicksburg National Cemetery. He left a wife and four or five children behind when he went off to serve his country. His wife Margaret applied for a pension in late 1863. Henry was a brother to my great great great grandfather John Wingerter. They emigrated to the US from Deutschland in the 1850's.

Enlisted August 15, 1862. Participated in Vicksburg Campaign and subsequently with Sherman on his 'March to the Sea'. According to his 'diary/journal', JB Nowlin and his Unit participated in the Battles of Resaca, Dallas, New Hope Church, Kennessaw Mtn (site of Col. Benjamin Spooner's injury that resulted in amputation of arm) and Jonesboro during the Atlanta Campaign. He did keep a rather detailed report of the miles marched each day and reported on weather conditions at the time. Last engagement was at Bentonville, NC before being mustered out on June 2, 1865.
