Henry C. McArthur

First Lieutenant Henry C. McArthur, of Company H. was made Acting Quarter-Master on February 1, 1864, near Vicksburg, Mississippi. While in that position he did his duty well and with the energy which characterized him in military or civil life.

He was an efficient and brave young officer, and was severely wounded on July 21, 1864, near Atlanta. But he returned to the command soon afterward, and was on the staff of the Brigade Commander until the end. He resides and is a prominent merchant in Lincoln, Nebraska.
