Brunjes, Diedrich: Widow is listed in 1890 vets census, but apparently did not apply for a pension.
Brunkhorst, Diedrich: Not thought to be the Diedrich Brunkhorst then 66, but possibly his son Henry--24--
Hanover--Benton Co--no pension data--fate unknown--using father's name to distinguish from other Henry?
Brunkhorst, John Henry: Widow's pension 1864 "Henry.".
Budde, William:  Listed on rosters as "Kurde" and this shown as an "alias" on pension application.
Cook, Abel H W: "Elected Capt of Co A but did not command same."  Organizer of the regiment and
     the original commander, but Henry Imhauser was appointed commander after the Cole Camp battle.
     An 1863 letter reported that Cook was killed later in Henry County, near Leesville,
     and the pension application filed by his widow states he was "shot by rebels in Henry County, 7 November 1861."
     Her application was rejected because "he was not in U.S. service at time of death, having been discharged on 
     13 September 1861."  The widow received payment of $361.33 on 1 May 1865 for his June-Sept service.

Dueber, Gustav: "Disability disch 7-21-61."  No certificate listed for 1912 pension application;
     did not serve the minimum 90 days required.
Ebeling, Henry and John: Rosters list only Henry, but John's pension lists HG service and cites Henry
     as an "alias" so probably only John served. However, Henry and widow died before most pensions were
     filed, and Henry and John are listed in different HG Companies, so both may have served.
Eckhoff, Peter: Not on rosters; applied for pension 1892 and widow Sophia again 1904, both denied.
Ehlers, Claus: Not on rosters but listed in 1890 veterans census, no pension application found.
Ehlers, John: "Disability disch 7-20-61" - Pension apparently denied; did not serve minimum 90 days.
