Our Great Grandfather Julius enlisted as a Private in the Civil War, 106th NY Regiment Infantry (St. Lawrence Co. Regiment) on August 11, 1862 in St. Lawrence Co., NY. He was in Captain Jesse Cogswell's Company "G". The 106th NY Regiment participated in the battles of:
Fairmont
Martinsburg, W. VA - 6/14/1863
Wapping Heights VA
Wilderness VA - 5/5-7/1864
Spottsylvania Courthouse VA 5/8-18/1864
Cold Harbor, VA - 6/1-12/1864
Petersburg, VA - 6/17-27/1864
Monocacy, MD - 7/9-1864
Opequan, VA - 9/19/1864
Fisher's Hill, VA - 9/22/1864
Cedar Creek, VA - 10/19/1864
Julius's military records in the National Archives, Washington, D.C., document he became ill with Typhoid fever in 1864 and was confined to Douglas Hospital, Washington, D.C. In June,1864 he was given a 90 day leave to return to his farm in upstate NY to recuperate. While he was at home, his wife Amelia became pregnant and then died in childbirth.
(Please note the letter quoted below, written by our Great Grandmother Lillie Hodges to the military pension board, documenting details of Julius's first wife Amelia's death.)
By the time Julius was able to return to Washington D.C. it was June, 1865--one entire year later. (The last major battle of the Civil War had been fought one month earlier in May,1865.) He was charged with Desertion, but he had brought with him papers from a NY doctor documenting his continued illness from Typhoid. Julius was then rehospitalized by the military in Washington, D.C. In August, 1865 this charge was reduced to AWOL and in September,1865 all charges against Julius were dropped.
In later years he received a $15 per month military pension.
Julius also injured his hand in the late 1880's, while he was working as a machinist. (This may have been why his wife Lillie had to write the letter for him to the the military pension board.)
