~Notes:
Cotant, Gordan - "This is 2nd
Lieutenant Gordon Conant, b.
1828/29 and d. 10/23/1873. He has a government-issued
tombstone in Pleasant Grove cemetery, with no dates on it. He served in Co. K 28th Wis. Infantry.
Gordon Conant's wife and children went back east after his
death." .... from Jay Wright,
April 2011
Vernby, Jacob - "This is my
Great-Great Grandfather, Jacob Verhei. He served
in Co. C, 3rd Iowa Inf. The various military records show his
name as Verhie, Verhir, and Verhei. They all are consistent
as to his movement from the 3rd, to 3rd Veterans, to the
consolidated 2nd & & 3rd Regt. created after Atlanta.
Some documents also state he is buried in Pleasant Grove
Cemetery. My Great-Grandfather was also named Jacob. He came
west." .......from Bruce Verhei, May 2008. See also: http://iagenweb.org/civilwar/regiment/infantry/03rd/co-pz.htm
