Greetings Everyone, My first Civil War Veteran is: 1. Johann Philipp BAUMGART(EN) 2. b. 12 Mar 1846 3. The Kingdom of Hesse, Germany 4. Wife: Karoline Friederike GORING 5. DOD: 03 Aug 1933 6. Place: Bassett, Chickasaw Co IA (at home) 7. Buried: Mount Carroll Cemetery, rural Bassett, Chickasaw Co IA 8. Connection to Chickasaw Co: Lived north of Bassett since ~1902 (Farmer); buried in Chickasaw County IA 9. Branch of Service and Unit Served With: US Army, Co K, 30th Regiment, Illinois Volunteer Infantry; Inducted 11 Oct 1864 at Chicago, IL; discharged 17 Jul 1865 at Louisville, KY. 10. Supplementary Information: This was my GGGrand Uncle. He and my GGGrand Aunt Karoline married in Bremen Twp, Cook Co IL on 9 May 1869 and eventually had a total of 11 children, 6 sons and 5 daughters. With all those children..... one would think I'd have a huge number of cousins, just from this one family! Well, of those 11 children, only 2 of the daughters married and had children. The others either never married or died young. They migrated from Cook Co IL to Floyd Co IA ~1872 and lived there until ~1902 when they moved over to Chickasaw County. -Jannette
