Hamilton Bauman
  Hamilton volunteered for the Union Army in August 13, 1862 in Peoria Illinois. He was part of Captain King’s Co. 103 Regiment Illinois Infantry; listed as 20 years old. (M539 roll 5)
  As all soldiers must he reported for muster each time it was called and recorded by Company Clerks, Reynolds and H.J. Brown.
  During the battle of Missionary Ridge Nov 25, 1863 Hamilton was wounded in the thigh and went back to Canton Illinois on furlough until March of 1864 when he was present for muster call again. He was promoted to Corporal after his injury on return to service July 1, 1664.
  Young Bauman’s Civil war records show he was killed in action near Atlanta Georgia Aug 23, 1864, while fighting on the line.
  It is not known where he was buried; or with such a large battle if he was buried. Years later his father applied for pension from Hamilton Civil War Service.
  At the time of his death A. B. Smith Captain Co. K 103 Illinois Infantry signed his personal property inventory papers and it shows no effects were left. This was done at East Point Georgia Sept 23, 1864. Papers sent on to Adjutant General’s Office Washington DC.
  Hamilton Bauman was born in Fulton County Illinois about 1842; Son of Samuel Bauman from Pennsylvania and Hanna Frakes Bauman born in Ohio. He is listed in the 1850 census living in Buckheart with his parents and siblings Eli, Mary, John, Harriet, Oliver, and Margery.
  Hamilton is living in Liverpool in 1860 census and is listed as being 18 years old. My Grandfather James Jennings is also living with the Bauman’s in this census as his parents had died of illness a couple of years earlier. Hamilton was his cousin.
  Surely his death was like so many other young men who went off to war and never returned. Many households must have mourned for their lost sons. History only repeats itself.
