Was Civil War Veteran
Andrew A. Egge, who passed away Friday, was an old soldier of the Civil War, we are told. He fought during the entire four years under General Grant and was held in Libby prison six months.
When released he was nothing but skin and bones and his feet were swollen to twice the normal size from exposure.
