William W. Cowley

William W. [sic] Cowley was the Fourth Commissary Sergeant and was promoted from Sergeant of Company C. The writer of this did not serve with the Regiment then, and cannot state further concerning Sergeant Cowley's history.


HENRY T. FELGAR, LUCIUS BOUDINOT, CORNELIUS INGLEFIELD and ALEXANDER Mc, 15tGILVERY were Hospital Stewards.

They must have been good ones, or Surgeon Gibbon would not have tolerated them for a moment. It is regretted that nothing of their history can be given beyond the fact that Felgar was from E Company, and died in Service. Boudinot was from Company B, and was discharged for disability. Inglefield was from Company K, and was mustered out March 27, 1865, and McGilvery was from Company G, and stayed until the end.
