This enchanting account of Emerguildo and the Nagle family can be read in entirety at https://48thpennsylvania.blogspot.com/2016/11/discovering-emerguildo-marquiz-mexican.html
"He served as a private in the 6th Pennsylvania, for along with his service files for the 6th were those for when he served as a bugler in the 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry. Also in his service records was a letter written by James Nagle. The letter was dated December 22, 1862, and by then Nagle was a a Brigadier General".
"I have the honor to make application to have Emerguildo Marquis, Bugler in Captain White's Company 3rd PA Cavalry, detailed as bugler and orderly. "He is a Mexican Boy that I brought along from Mexico". (at the close of the Mexican War)

Suggested edit: Born in Mexico, Emerguildo Marquis served as bugler in the 3rd Pennsylvania Calvalry during the Mexican-American Civil War. Brigadier General James Nagle him during the War.
A number of the wives of the Soldiers went to Philadelphia to meet their husbands. When they met them, they saw three persons who were not Soldiers, but little Mexican boys about 9 or 10 years of age. They were very small, dark skin, no shoes ... They learned to love the Soldiers, and when they broke Camp the little boys followed them (stole their way, so to speak). When they were discovered the Army was miles out of the City of Mexico. They would not go back. They were little orphans, and the Officers took charge of them and landed them at home in Pottsville. Captain [James] Nagle, Lieut. Simon Nagle, and Lieut. Frank B. Kaercher, each took a little Mexican boy to their homes. The one Captain Nagle cared for was, by name, Emergildo Marquis, known as 'Marium.' He was treated as one of the family. He was sent to school, sent to learn a trade, Jeweler. He was away from home to work, but never forgot the family; he came home very often over the week ends. He lived to be about 45, grew up with the family. He loved Father & Mother Nagle, and the Children all loved him. He died at the Nagle home.
Marquis' headstone was illegible and badly worn, so we requested a veteran headstone from the VA and recently replaced it. A special thanks to Tom Shay, the staff at the United Presbyterian Church, and everyone else involved with helping to honor this Mexican-American Civil War veteran.
