James Anthony Costar - Private |
|
Born in New York City on 26 February 1823, James enlisted in Company E in New York City on 5 April 1864 at age 41, the father of six children. 'Muster and Descriptive Roll of a Detachment of U.S. Vols. forwarded' dated 10 April 1864 shows him on Hart Island, NY. Return of April 1864 has James near Morton's Ford, VA 'right from depot'. On 21 April 1864 he was transferred to Company F.
In his first battle James was wounded by a minie ball on 6 May 1864 at the Battle of The Wilderness. He was admitted to Finlay General Hospital, Washington, DC from 'Field Hospital' (possibly the Carpenter Farm near Chancellorsville) on 26 May 1864. The diagnosis reads 'G.S. [gun shot] Destruction of right eye and laceration of neighboring parts'. Insofar as most wounds to the head and trunk were deemed fatal, James might have been 'triaged' and placed to one side, explaining the extended period of time between his wounding and evacuation.
He received a disability discharge received on 16 June 1865 on half disability pay. As a result of his wound James could no longer do his job as a cooper and filed for an increased pension. He died on 2 March 1906 and is buried in The Evergreens Cemetery, Brooklyn, NY.
