Need help for a friend.....

[diddyriddick]

A friend is trying to find help with a couple of ancestors, and I'm hoping someone can pull a rabbit out of a hat....M.E?

Abraham Reiff Godshall - born about 1841 in Bucks County, PA, enlisted August 22, 1862, "mustered out" April 26, 1863 and died April 29, 1863

His brother also died in the Civil War but there's no record of being "mustered out": Jacob Reiff Godshall born Jan 2, 1846, died April 2, 1864 - don't know when he enlisted but his unit was 106th Regiment, Pennsylvania Infantry Company C.

Thanks in advance for any info.
