St. Louis Globe-Democrat (St. Louis, MO)
September 7, 1879
Information Wanted.
To the citizens of the United States: GEN-
TLEMEN—Will some of you be so kind as to tell
me what was the name of the colored regiment,
if so it was called one, stationed at or on Presi-
dent Island, about five miles below Memphis,
Tenn? I had a brother who enlisted in it, I
suppose in 1861, also served as a soldier until
his death, which ooccurred in the latter part of
of 1863 or early in 1864. His name is Gabriel
Wood, colored, and I desire to find out, if pos-
sible, the name of the regiment and company
he belonged to. Please answer through the
GLOBE-DEMOCRAT, or by addressing Miles P.
Wood, at 1342 N. Jefferson avenue, St. Louis,
Mo.
