NOTE 1: September 22, 1862 - May 24, 1865/Civil War, Company K, 37th Iowa Volunteer Infantry
NOTE 2: "The Graybeard
regiment was the idea of an enterprising farmer from Muscatine,
Iowa, named George W. Kincaid. Its ranks would be filled with
men over the age of 45--men who were ordinarily rejected from
service in other volunteer regiments. Their mission would be to
perform mundane, behind-the-lines tasks such as guarding
prisoners, protecting railroad lines, garrisoning supply depots
and escorting combat troops to the front." “The
Graybeards”
