Records of early Memorial Day commemorations in the files of The Office of The Historian of The Town of Pelham include references to Pelham residents who served their country during the Civil War. Today's Blog posting provides the list and, for each, adds information about the serviceman's unit where it can be determined. Please note that no effort yet has been made to determine the accuracy of this information (including the spelling of the names below as they appeared in various records including old Memorial Day programs).
William Dorrance Beach
Samuel D. Bertine
William Dally - Company D, 133rd Infantry Regiment New York
Patrick J. Gleason
James C. Hazen
William P. Hibler
John T. Logan
David Lyon
Samuel E. Lyon
William Mercer
Peter McLaughlin
William H. Valentine - Company D, 5th Veteran Infantry Regiment New York
Charles A. Walker
Over the next few months I will be working to confirm this information and to learn more about these Pelham residents said to have died during service to their country during the Civil War.
