      Comrade Peter Countryman who was born the 5th day of August A.D. 1834 in County of Onondaga, State of New York.
      I first entered the service November 16th 1861 at Springfield, ILL . as a Private in Battery I, Second ILL , Light Artillery Volunteers and my rank at the close of the war was a Private. I was first discharged Dec. 31st 1863 at Chattanoo, T . by enlisting as a veteran.
