I have
an addition to your Civil War Veterans:
William
O. Boyd joined on Aug 18, 1864 in
Rochester, MN
He was
in company H 11th Minn Vol Infantry. He was discharged
Jun
26, 1865 at Gallatin, TN. He was living in Rochester, MN at the
time
of enlistment working as a mason. After the war he moved to Iowa
and
lived there until his death on Aug 15, 1920. His parents were James
&
Elizabeth (Walker) Boyd. He married Ella Henry Doxey. He was
born
in Ireland on Sept. 18, 1836, but when he filled out his papers he
said
he was born Dec 18. 1839. I have his pension file from the
National
Archives. Norann Lustfield
