Infantry was a regiment that served in the Union Army. The regiment was

The company muster roll for July/Aug 1862 states that Hiram Rollins was

Note (6) Death record states that her date of death was Jan 20 1916. But her
obituary, in the Thursday, Jan 20 1916 issue of the West Union Record, states
that she died "last Monday morning at 2:15 o'clock," which would put her death
date at Jan 17 1916. Her obituary in the Jan 20 1916 issue of the Doddridge
County Republican also specifies that she died "at her home at 2:15 Monday
morning, Jan. 17, 1916." Her headstone also has the Jan 17 1916 death date.
The death record entry is believed to be a clerical error, probably based on the
filing date.
