    Notes 
    • WETMORE, Elam B. - Private, Co. K & B, 85th NY Infantry. Son of Dix Wetmore, 107th NY. He was 19 when he enlisted 26 Aug `61. He enlisted in Co K but soon transferred to Co B. He was captured at Fair Oaks, VA and was paroled after 100 days. Captured again 20 April `64 at Plymouth, NC. He was shot on Oct 6, 1864, near Florence while trying to escape from the train transporting them to Florence. He and Private Ira Deyo, also of the 85th NY had vowed to escape together. Deyo made it away, but Wetmore was spotted and shot. Later, Deyo was recaptured. Eleven years later, Deyo returned to Florence to attempt to find his friend's body. He located a black woman who surprisingly remembered exactly where the body had been buried in an unmarked grave next to the railroad. Deyo had him reinterred in the National Cemetery on 12 March 1875. Grave # 2965.
