Civil War Veteran
1st Sergeant, Co. E, 107th Pennsylvania Infantry
∼
He enlisted in Lancaster December 9, 1861, mustered into federal service at Harrisburg January 28, 1862, as a private with Co. E, 107th Pennsylvania Infantry, and promoted to corporal January 26, 1863. He re-enlisted as a Veteran Volunteer February 29, 1864, at Mitchell's Station, Virginia, promoted to sergeant January 23, 1865, to 1st sergeant May 1, 1865, and honorably discharged with his company July 13, 1865. He was among those rare Civil War soldiers who reported to the surgeon for being constipated. The final card in his compiled military service records claims he was charged $2.70 for "transportation and cost of arrest," but offers no specifics. He signed his re-enlistment papers "Dinkle", and his service records spell his surname that way
The 1880 census claims he was German-born, but military, pension, and other censuses all say Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. In 1860, he was a shoemaker living in Manor Township, Lancaster County, and stood 5' 8" tall with dark hair and blue eyes.
He married Katherine R. lnu. May 2, 1864, and fathered George C. (b. @1876). He later lived in Homestead, Allegheny County, where he was a member of Griffin Post No. 207, G.A.R.
