This one for Julius Werhan was in error. He was in 16th US Infantry, not Iowa 16th.

I have researched the Iowa data base and was given my Great Grandfathers film no as M541 roll 15. He served 100 days in 1964 in the Union Army. There was a mis spelling of his last name as Lakey

He enlisted on 6 Jan 1862 in Davenport, Iowa and was wounded at the Battle of Shiloh on 6 Apr 1862. He was discharged on 11 Jul 1862 at Corinth, Mississippi.

Age 21. Residence Davenport, nativity Germany. Enlisted Sept. 25, 1861. Mustered Nov. 2, 1861. Wounded slightly April 6, 1862, Shiloh, Tenn. Discharged June 19, 1862, Louisville, Ky.
