Richard T. Lyan, Cd Iowa. says that
he can be put down strongly for the SER
vice pension, though he served a long
term. having enlisted in August. 1861, and
being discharged in November, 1865. Dur
ing his service he contented himself with
keeping track of Co. F, and getting good
chance to shoot. He was first in COM
mand after the Eighth Corporal. and so
did not have much responsibility, but when
it came to foraging and drawing rations
: he was there every time, obeying orders
most of the time. and grubbing stumps
: part of his enlistment. He was not so
small but he was easy to hit, and he got
it in the knee in Moscow, Tenn, and in
the whiskers at Shoal Creek.
