1864-65 HISTORY: N/A Pension 355.362:
Mar 1895: Gen Affidavit by Francis E Barron 30 Mar 1895, 52 yrs old of Compton,LA, CA. "Albert J Smith in same Co & Reg, occupied same cabin during winter 1864-1865 near Winchester to White House landing. In spring of 1865 I remember AJ had very hard cold (Christmas it affected his throat & lungs, causing a cough) & before it was over we started march to White House. 2 Mar rained very hard, wetting our blankets thru & running under our bed. Cold, frost not out of ground. Did not get clothes or blankets dry 3-4 days. Took more cold, causing "catarrh". Not over it when landed at White House 26 Mar 1865: detailed as regular pioneers, built cabins for officers before building own. Still in little tents at Christmas 1864.
Apr 1895: Geo E Baldwin, Napa CA-knew Albert J Smith. He very ill from severe cold contracted while at Camp Russell near Winchester VA Dec 1864. I was Sgt in his CO. Not to have any camp fires. We all quite ill from exposure. He very sick & had lung trouble from that time. Rec'd marching orders Feb 1865. All who had poor horses or were sick to be sent to Harpers Ferry, the rest to Richmond. Many of us ill, but we determined not to be left behind. Albert J was one of them. Traveled thru rain & mud to White House landing. Had a bed quilt tied under rubber poncho,around head & throat. No doubt his early death soon after the war was due to cold & exposure we went thru those days.
Mar 1894: Edward D Bruner: Knew him well. At time of enlistment sound & robust man. After exposure during winter 1863 & 1864 really sick. He was a good soldier & always performed his duty when able. We came from CA tog & he in good health.
