Manitowoc Herald News, January 15, 1921 P. 1 ""LAST OF GALLANT MEN OF NINTH IN CIVIL WAR, GONE One of the last survivors of the old Ninth Wisconsin regiment in the Civil war, which was organized here, passed today with the death of Richard Bergman, 85 year old pioneer to whom death came at the home of his granddaughter, Mrs. August Ohm, 1935 South Ninth street. Of the men who made up the Ninth, which was one of the fighting regiments of the days of 61-65, Mr. Bergman is believed to be the last residing here. Fred Heinemann, of Appleton, was enlisted with the company and is one of two, if not the only survivor of the regiment. Mr. Bergmanns death was due to a stroke of paralysis. He was born in Schwartzburg, Germany, July 10, 1835 and came to this country in 1857. In 1960 at the outbreak of the war Mr. Bergman enlisted with Co. H of the Ninth regiment, Wisconsin infantry, and then re-enlisted in 1863, serving throughout the war. Returning here after the close of the war, he has made his home in the city practically all of the time since. Of late years, Mr. Bergmann has made his home with his granddaughter, Mrs. Ohm. His wife died sixty years ago and all members of the immediate family preceded him in death, John Bergelin, 80, a son-in-law survives, with Mrs. Ohm, granddaughter, and three great grandchildren. The funeral will be held Monday at the home at 1:30 and at the Gorman Lutheran church at 2 oclock, Rev. Machmiller officiating."
