| NOTES: |
The last name is spelled Hansen in the cemetery and by
many of the children. It was spelled Hanson on many of the
war records. According to Lillian Burton, he had a brother who was a gendarme (a member of the French police force) in France. The last name may have been HANS in France. (Many last names were changed when people immigrated to the U.S., either because of simple misspellings, or to anglicize the name, or even to leave the past behind.) Margarite remembers her father telling her of how when he went to school at St. Nicholas, he had spit on the floor and was reprimanded physically by the nuns and how Grandpa August went across the road and took the nuns to task. 6 7 |

| CIVIL WAR: |
He enlisted Sep. 1, 1861 at Effingham, Ill. for 3 years.
He mustered in at Camp Butler near Springfield, Ill. on
Dec. 30, 1861 in the 5th Regiment Illinois Cavalry, Company L. He supplied his own horse and the
government of Illinois provided the equipment worth $35.
A letter from Irene Bauernfeind in 1957 after getting information from her father, Jake Hansan, says that "His horse was shot from under him and later, when given another, it became frightened, nearly trampling him to death. Sometime during the war he had fingers on both hands cut off."
On March 2, 1863 he went AWOL to the town of Helena, Ark.
and returned on March 4. He was tried and found guilty
on Dec. 14, 1863. He was fined two weeks pay.
His commanding officer was Lt. William W. Berry and tried
by Major A. H. Seley. In August 1863 he was recommended
for the Invalid Corps because of Diarrhea and intermittent
fever. They were at Big Black River, Miss. He appears on
the company muster out roll at
Vicksburg, Miss. on
Dec. 29, 1864. He had been transferred to the Invalid Corps
on Feb. 15, 1864 where he was on duty in the prison barracks.
He went on leave from March 5, to May 5, 1864 to Sheboygan,
Wis. He was discharged with one fourth disability for the loss
of three fingers on Nov. 7, 1864 at Rock Island Barracks, Ill.
He was described as having blue eyes, dark complexion,
auburn hair, and 5 feet 8 inches tall. His age varies from 25
to 36. There is a plaque at Vicksburg with his name on it.
