Looking for further info or connection with following great grandfather, RAYMOND PABST: MILLER, FREDERICK (alias) RAYMOND PABST served: A 4 US Art. and F 6 PA. Cav. Application made 1893 Apr 17 by widow Christina Pabst Hager #574898 No Cert. # listed He enlisted as a private 9 Oct 1861. Company F, 6th Cavalry Reg. PA. He was a POW June 1863 Beverly Ford, VA. (paroled) Deserted Company F, 6th Cav. PA 27 June 1863. Could anyone tell me ANYTHING about this. Why the alias? Is there information regarding his POW experience available? Would his deserting make his widow ineligible for a pension. I have the forms to send to NARA. Should I send for both military and pension? Any help would be so very much appreciated. Many thanks Sarah
