    My 2nd great grandfather was William McClellan Gilbert who was a private in Company E, 89th Infantry from Jay County, Indiana. Prior to this he was a farmer and served a full 3 years in the Civil War for the Union Army before being disbanded in August 1965 in Mobile, Alabama. He died in 1911 in Nebraska. I am interested in any pictures of this Company.

    1. Your great-grandfather may have known Hallet Bryan. I also wish I had some photos from this company. I only have the history that I learned from on-line. Thanks for writing!

    Probably so. Considering the amount of men who died from disease and gunshot wounds, it was astounding my great grandfather survived and lived to 74. Apparently the infantry walked from Indianapolis to Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana to fight and back. 20 miles a day. Please contact me if you run across any pictures and I’ll do the same. Thanks.

    1. Will do, and please remember me if you find any photos.

    After researching my family I am beginning my wife’s side of the family. John Armantrout (proper spelling) was her great-great-grandfather. He married Hannah (no maiden name yet) Armantrout. I have a photo of the two of them from 6 July 1919, and one of his headstone at Grave Hill Cemetery, west of Bryant, Indiana. We also have a large clock he supposedly carried home in a gunny sack from his time in the south, a gift for his soon-to-be bride. The date of the clock would work, but it was manufactured in Boston at a time it would have had to have made it through blockades of the south. I will send any further information I find.

    1. Thank you. Interesting information.

    Hello
    I am related to Henry L. Landers and I was wondering if you had any information more on him or pictures?
    He was single when he enlisted then he married Mary V Armantrout in 1858 .During the Civil War he enlisted at the age of 26, on August 15, 1862 at Portland, Indiana in Company E, 89th Ind. He was wounded at Mumfordville, Ky., and was taken prisoner in the same battle. Thirty days later he was paroled and joined his command in Indianapolis where was detailed several times as a train guard.

    His grandfather also, named Henry, had served in the Revolutionary War.

    Like to know anything you might have ? Thank you

    1. No, I am sorry, but I do not have any additional information on Henry.

    I recently found some old reunion ribbons one was Sep. 15 & 16 1914 29th annual reunion of the eighty-ninth Indiana Volunteer Infantry Russiaville, Indiana which leads me to believe that I may have had a great-great
    relative that was in this unit. The last name would be Miller, first name unknown. any help would be appreciated
    Great Grandfather was Earnest E Miller born around 1889 Married to Bessie Miller
    Also found a ribbon for 13th Indiana infantry Camp Sullivan July 4 1961 1911
    and another Vincit Amor Patriae W.R,V.S.&S Association eight annual reunion Martinsville, Indiana Thurs Aug 25 1910 I know My Greatgrandfather Earnest was born in Martinsville, Indiana around 1889
    any hints or help would be appreciated

    1. That sounds like a very interesting find! I would look through the roster of the 89th Indiana Volunteer Infantry. This is a link: https://archive.org/details/reportindiana06dougrich, although that volume may be for Company E only. Miller is a very common name and not knowing his first name makes the research more difficult. I would also look on Ancestry.com, search under Military, for Miller (surname), lived in “Indiana” & military as “Indiana,” and under Keyword use 89th Indiana. That brings up a number of Millers who served in the 89th. You might recognize one of those names. I was going to suggest looking at the 1890 Veterans Census Schedule, but most (if not all) of Indiana’s did not survive. The Fold 3 website has a lot of military records, too. They may have been members of the GAR but local GAR records may be difficult to locate. I hope this gives you some ideas. Good luck with your research!
