Dear Hal, Your list of Civil War servicemen from the Hilltowns does not include many names from Rensselaerville, including my great grandfather Charles Mulford Niles who wrote a letter to his father, Judge John Niles in Rensselaerville, describing his emotions when he stood guard at Lincoln's casket. I have the original letter as well as his uniform and sword and a photo of him wearing the uniform and holding the sword. You are incorrect in saying there are no Civil War monuments in the hilltowns. In the middle of the Rensselaerville village cemetery is a monument erected to the memory of the Rensselaerville township men who died in the Civil War. The monument is inscribed with all their names (there are 29 of them), their ages and the regiments to which each belonged.
