I am having a difficult time transcribing this record. I am interested the soldiers who died in Cassville in the Second Column don below. 2 deaths. One looks like he served in an Artillery Battery. I want to say on names is Cantrell and the other Castleberry but its very difficult to make out. This is Cassville 1864

 

[57th Indiana Infantry]

Per your list: https://civilwartalk.com/threads/so...ille-georgia-hospitals-during-the-war.127590/

James Cushenbury Co. I, 6th Ky. Mtd. Rifles, died May 12, 1864

2nd name is more elusive.

 

[Stiles/Akin]

Awesome. I had such a hard time with these. I am finding a couple of new names btu still searching.

 

[57th Indiana Infantry]

On fold3, they show a A E Candell

Capt Howell's Co, Light Artillery AND Capt Hudson's Co, Light Artillery (Arsenal Battery)

I can't access the cards though.

 

[57th Indiana Infantry]

I believe it says Howell's Battery in the report?


CONFEDERATE GEORGIA TROOPS
Howell's Company, Georgia Light Artillery
OVERVIEW:
Martin's-Howell's Battery was organized in May, 1862, with 125 officers and men. The unit served on the Georgia coast, then moved to Mississippi where it was engaged at Jackson. Later it was assigned to J. Palmer's and R. Martin's Battalion of Artillery, and took an active part in the campaigns of the Army of Tennessee from Chickamauga to Bentonville. This company reported 7 casualties at Chickamauga, had 77 present in April, 1864, but only a handful surrendered in April, 1865. Its captains were Evan P. Howell and Robert Martin.

Some of the most legible writing was from A J China in the group. I have been using a free online program called Lunapic to turn the images to a negative.

I cant read the negative images at all. I used the original laying on the grey table top. -59% Brightness +15% contrast enlarged on my screen to 50% and it looks like this:

Then for some of the harder to read parts I had to enlarge to 100% which looks like this:

Its tough. I may have to return to the library and use some sort of light board if allowed to shine behind the paper

A thread with a mixture of the Howell's Texas Battery and Howell's Georgia Battery. Maybe any information in the thread about the Georgia Battery may be helpful? As for...A E Candell.

I'm glad to see that some of soldiers survived their hospital visit and lived long lives.
