These are notes for the men of Company A, 27th Iowa.   I use various sources.  I start with the Pension Records Index to see if I can determine the spouse's name.  Then I check Family Trees on Ancestry.com and Census records .  If I can determine what county/state he was in, I check the USGENWEB site for that particular county. I also use a variety of Gravestone websites including Find A Grave and Iowa Gravestones Photo Project .  One of the last things I do is a Google search of the internet.

Note: I have no personal knowledge of any of the soldiers and nothing has been verified.  I have relied solely on information that I found on line, so errors can be expected (but are not intentional)..

Henry Hill came to Iowa in 1876, bought land in Bath township, improved and settled upon it, and which is still his home. In 1855 he was married, in Wisconsin, to Juliana Decker, of Erie Co., N. Y., who died ten months after her marriage, and in 1857 he married her sister, Abigail Decker, who has borne him two children—Frank W. and Cora J.  Mr. Hill was born Feb. 9, 1835, in Lycoming Co., Penn., and is the son of Daniel and Margaret (Shoner) Hill, who started from Pennsylvania to Wisconsin in a one-horse conveyance. The father died on the way, in Ohio, when Henry was seven years of age. The family went on and joined his brother and two sisters in Wisconsin, where Henry lived till he was married. He bought land and settled in Green Co., Wis., in 1859, sold out, removed to Allamakee Co., Iowa, and bought land and settled in Jefferson township. In August, 1862, he enlisted in the 27th Iowa Infantry, company A, and went to Minnesota to fight the Indians. In the fall he went south. He served with his regiment until the war closed and was mustered out, Aug. 8, 1865.

Henry Hill, 3 Corp. IA 27 Inf A, born Jan 1, 1846, died  Oct. 30, 1927 in Cerro Gordo County, Iowa.  Source: Iowa Civil War Soldier burial Records. (Note: the date of birth is not my typo, but it appears to be incorrect.  The information in the biography above agrees with the the Roster and other census information.  1846 is just way off.)

Find a Grave has this information: Corp. Henry Hill, Co. A, 27th Ia. Inf., no dates, buried in Elmwood Saint Joseph Cemetery, Mason City, Cerro Gordo County, Iowa.

(I had initially found information on Henry Hill in Powershiek County (from two different sources).  I am now convinced that information is incorrect. The 1915 Iowa State Census proves that Henry Hill buried in Cerro Gordo is the one that was in the 27th Iowa.  (the other Henry Hill died in 1914, before the 1915 census -- I believe they confused Henry Hill in the 24th Iowa with Henry Hill in the 27th)
