This is a picture of my GGGranduncle, Edward E. Decker, who served in
Company A, 15th Michigan Infantry. He was born on 9 January 1841 in Kent
County, PA and was the son of John H. Decker and Anna M. Wagner. On 12
February 1862, along with his nephew, Daniel E. Decker, they enlisted in Burr
Oak. They both served with their unit at Shiloh. Edward was discharged due to
illness on 11 August 1862 at Cornith, MS. Daniel was discharged on 18 August
1862 due to "deafness incurred at Pittsburg Landing on April 6, 1862." Also
have another GGGranduncle, Edwin I. Start, who also served at Shiloh with Co.A,
15th MI.
