Notes for Charles Casper
Enlisted 14 Aug 1862
Company A, 109th Illinois Infantry, USA
Organized at Camp Anna 11 Sep 1862
20 Oct 1862 ordered to Cairo and the Army of the Tennessee under Maj Gen US Grant
At Lake Providence, Louisiana, on 23 Apr 1863, after 237 desertions, the 109th was disbanded with the officers sacked and the enlisted men assigned to the 11th Illinois with Charles Casper in Company H.
The 11th Illinois had been organized at Cairo 1 Aug 1861. It was mustered out 10 Jul 1865 and discharged at Camp Butler 18 Jul 1865.
471 fatalities
7 officers and 179 enlisted men KIA or mortally wounded
1 officer and 284 enlisted men died of disease
The 11th Illinois was at Fort Donelson, Shiloh, and Vicksburg.
I assume Charles Casper died of disease or wounds from the Vicksburg action.
