William Henry Harrison Moore

William Henry Harrison Moore was born in 1841 in Michigan.

William stood 5’5” with blue eyes, dark hair and a dark complexion and was a 21-year-old laborer possibly living in Ionia County when he enlisted in Company E on March 29, 1862, at Saranac, Ionia County for 3 years, and was mustered on April 12, 1862. He was reported absent sick or wounded in a general hospital from August through January of 1863. In fact, William was discharged for “spinal irritation” at West’s building hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, on January 22, 1863.

William eventually returned to Michigan and apparently died in Detroit. He was reportedly buried in Elmwood cemetery in Detroit.

No pension seems to be available.
