He will be remembered here (Coldwater, Michigan) as a hack driver... (H)e went west about a year ago in hopes that the change would be beneficial". Compiler's comment: not beneficial enough, I figure. The compiler suspects that this is he: Twelfth Michigan Infantry page 507-511 Brower, George W. Company E. Enlisted at Marshall, March 21, 1865. Mustered out June 1, 1865. History of Calhoun County, Michigan; a narrative account of its historical progress, its people, and its principal interests, by Hon. Washington Gardner. Gardner, Washington, ed. 1845-1928, 2 v. (1354 p.) front., illus., pl., ports. 27cm. Chicago, New York, The Lewis publishing company, 1913. If someone has info on this person by accident, I can link him a long way back --16th Century and across the Atlantic by way of New York City, western New York State, and Michigan.
