Berlin NH Vetarans

I decided to make it my mission (apparently I don't have enough to do?) to research the Civil War Vetaran's from Berlin, NH.

Poof Tardiff, our local historian provided the following....

In 1861, Berlin had a population of 440 people, some of whom were employed during certain seasons. Berin had a hard time to meet its quota, but finally came through. In the United States muster rolls this town was credited with nineteen three year men, thirteen one year men and three nine month men. Of these, six never returned home. They were Charles Volney Green, a member of the 13th Maine who died in New Orleans in 1864 after contracting disease in the Red River campaign, Francis D. Green enlisted in the "Fighting Fifth" New Hampshire and was killed at Fredricksburgh, Virginia in 1862, Scribner Cates of the same regiment was killed at Sailor's Creek, Samuel Andrews of the same outfit was wounded at Antietem and killed at Cold Harbor, Ethan Andrews and Nelson Green of the 13th Maine died of disease, the latter being at Ship Island.
