Kauffman - 25th PA ?

[Kyle Kalasnik]

Found this on find a grave.

It says he served from 1864-1865.

But the 25th PA was mustered out in Summer of 1861.

Any ideas, opinions, thoughts. Thank you in advance.

Respectfully,
Kyle Kalasnik

Many soldiers whose enlistment expired then reenlisted in another regiment but continued to identify with their first enlistment which was close to their hearts.

Thank you. I figured maybe something to that effect.

His obituary on that FindAGrave page says, "Mr. Kauffman served two enlistments during the Civil war, having been a member of both the 110th and the 207th Pennsylvania volunteers. He passed through some of the hardest battles of the war, having been at Gettysburg, Petersburg and Bull Run."

The 110th was at Gettysburg but the 207th was not. I don't see service records for a John Kauffman in either regiment.

Hmmmm very interesting, thanks so much.

There was a John Kauffman in Company C of the 205th PA who is listed in the History of Pennsylvania Volunteers as having died in 1922 and being buried at Greenwood, Altoona, PA. Maybe they missed the zero?

His dates of service line up with the formation and mustering out of the 205th. Thank you very much.

Now THAT's an interesting theory!

I can't think of anything other then that. Unless the guy told some tales about his service
