Alpheus was a much older brother of Andrew Jackson Dann, and enlisted for one year in the Union Army, in 1864. The Spaulding letters make anecdotal mention that he enlisted ahead of a draft notice, therby collecting a "bounty" of almost one thousand dollars. A typewritten page of history from Dianne Spencer states that he left Union six weeks after the birth of his daughter Mary Evangeline and travelled north to join Company F of the 12th NY cavalry. The soldiers were loaded into open box cars for the trip south. The history passed down through the family is that he caught cold on the long trip and was returned north. He died of pneumonia in a military hospital in Elmira NY.
