I found this newspaper article while looking through the Kansas American, McPherson, Kansas, dated Thurs., August 12, 1903: Capt. W. L. Fouts. Among the many old soldiers of this county there are scarely any that can show a better military record than Capt. W. L. Fouts, of this place. Enlisted May 24th, 1861, mustered out June 18, 1866 over five years continious service. He has a sash that he wore during the war which has three bullets holes in it. He has a trunk full of papers showing the standing of every man who served in his company. He also has every written order and command received by him from superior officers during the war. The following is the Military record of Capt. Fouts, taken from the records: W.L. Fouts, Capt. Co. K. 25 Reg. Ohio Veteran Vol. Inf enlisted in Co. H Vol. Inf.
