Mustered Aug. 6, 1862, Clinton, Iowa
Died of disease Nov. 16, 1862, Springfield, MO
"The Eighteenth Iowa was ordered to Springfield, MO, where a large quantity of supplies for the army had been accumulated. The regiment arrived at Springfield, Nov. 14, 1862. While its loss in conflict with the enemy, up to this time, had been light, the men had suffered greatly from exposure and from the hardships to which they had been subjected on the long march in pursuit of the enemy, and the return to Springfield. They were passing through the common experience of all soldiers, in their first year of service. Many were stricken with disease, the prevailing malady being measles, which spread through the regiment and claimed many victims. The entire casualties now numbered ninety, and yet the regiment had been in active service less than three months."
