John C. Ritchey was my great-great-great grandfather. He was killed in action at Atchafalaya, LA on Sept. 29, 1863 at the age of 45. He was a farmer in Washington TWP, IA. Any other information on him would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Lt. William Brooks was wounded while recovering the Colors from the Battlefield at Prairie Grove. Would love to have a photo of him. He was also in the 1st Iowa Regiment Infantry which fought at Wilson's Creek and also the 56th USCT where as Col. Brooks he was killed in the Battle at Wallace's Ferry or Big Creek in Arkansas.

Thomas was my Great-Great grandfather's oldest brother. I ordered his Civil War records, but only purchased the 'partial'. I discovered he died of disease in southern Missouri. If anyone has a photo of this company, I would love to have a copy.

My great-great grandfather J. Peter Stineman mustered into the army as a Private and mustered out at discharge as a Sergeant. I have a medal given to him at a Reunion in the 1880''s. If anyone has a photo of company the Iowa 19th Infantry Co. G please email me as I''d love to have a copy. thanks

My great-great grandfather J. Peter Stineman of Grandview IA mustered into the army in Keokuk IA as a Private and mustered out in Mobile AL as a Sergeant. I have a medal given to him at a Reunion in the 1880''s. I also have a group photo of the 188? GAR reunion. I also have most of the names of the other veterans in the photo. I had to re-enter this info since I lost my old password and couldn't edit the info.
