Louis initially enlisted 20 Mar 1837 from Newsale, New York as a farmer born in 1814 Prussia. Last name was spelled Kittleuis. Note: There is no Newsale, NY. I suspect the scribe misunderstood and Louis' actual residence was New Salem, Albany County, New York.

Second enlistment at Fort Heilman, FL 20 Jan 1840. Last name spelled Kittlaus.

Third enlistment 26 Sep 1849 at Albuquerque, New Mexico. Last name spelled Kettluss.

Fourth enlistment 26 Jul 1854 at Fort Craig, New Mexico. Last name spell Kittlass.

According to the newspaper article, he was in the Army for 22 years. That would have placed his retirement/end of service around 1859.
