Enlisted as a Private on 12 January 1865.
Drafted into Company H, 35th Infantry Regiment Indiana on 12 Jan 1865.
Deserted from Company H, 35th Infantry Regiment Indiana on 16 Jun 1865.

This Charles Frederick Miller volunteered and served as a Private in H Company of the 59th Infantry, Indiana Volunteers. He mustered on 30 April, 1862, and was discharged 17 months later. HE DID NOT DESERT. On 29 Feb 1890 he was awarded an Invalid Pension, for both he and, subsequently, his widow. There were multiple Frederick Miller's from Indiana, and there is also a Prussian Charles Frederick Miller who was a conscript in the Confederate Army who was taken prisoner and signed an Oath. None of them are this man, and they should not be confused with my 5th Great Grandfather. His pension record in on Roll 104 of the National Archives. Please correct this memorial. I appreciate your efforts for findagrave, but if you had read the headstone, you would have been able to see that he served in the 59th Infantry. Deserters did not get headstones paid for by the government.
