COMPANY  A  OFFICERS  at  CRIPPLE  CREEK

Browne, Alfred J. M.   34  (<1827> - 1873)  Born in OH;  Mustered in on 5 Jun 61 as Capt of Co A;  Resigned 1 Mar 63 after Capt Baldwin was promoted to Maj over Capt Browne;  Browne returned to his life in CIncinnati, where he was a Merchant from a well-to-do family;  Apparently, Browne tried to exact some sort of satisfaction (in print?  through the courts?  both?) and he was arrested at the behest of a Capt Stanhope on a charge of "presenting false claims against the US for money";  It is unclear what the disposition was in the case of US vs. Browne;  At the time of his death of Consumption in Cincinnati in 1873, Browne was involved in another lawsuit in which he and his siblings were the plaintiffs in a case concerning their late father, Samuel Browne, and his estate;  The former Captain Browne died before the inheritance case was decided (again, I do not know the disposition of this case) 

 

Martin, Henry B.  27   (1833 - 1913)  Born in IN and lived most of his life in Putnam Co, IN, where he was an Attorney; Mustered in on 6 Jun 61 as 2 Lt (he had originally been enrolled as Sgt and already promoted by the time the Company was mustered in);  Slightly wounded on 13 Jul 61, which sent him to a hospital in Gallipolis for a weeks;  Promoted to 1 Lt on 25 Feb 62;  Given a Detached Duty as Commander of the 3rd Battery, Co G, of the Pioneer Corps from 26 Nov 62 until Mar 63;  During this time with the Pioneer Corps, he was suffering from an Inguinal Hernia which caused him to seek medical help, but when the Army Surgeon couldn't help him, he was given a Leave of Absence for 10 days to see a doctor in Louisville--this doctor advised that he take a longer leave in which to procure a mechanical device (a truss?) to aid in his recovery, and Lt Martin completed all the necessary paperwork to extend his leave (or so he thought);  A Disciplinary Board was convened for the infraction of overstaying his leave, but by then all the proper paperwork was found to have been submitted properly and the charges were dropped;  Promoted to Capt on 12 Apr 63 (after Capt Alfred Browne resigned);  He would be wounded at Chickamauga on 19 Sep 63 when a minieball entered his left arm above the wrist and exited below th elbow, fracturing the ulna and damaging the radial nerve--nevertheless, he was back on duty by Dec 63;  He was put in command of a Convalescent Barracks in Louisville for a couple of months in early 64;  He took a short Leave of Absence in April 64 in order to apply for a position in the Veterans' Relief Corps--consequently, when he mustered out of the 2 KY on 19 Jun 64, he was mustered in as Captain of a company of VRC troops; After the War, he lived for a short time in San Benadino, CA, but he died and was buried in Putnam Co, IN
