Michael Smith Civil War Discharge
[click to view larger image]
This is for my great-grandfather, Michael Smith - his birth name was Schmidt/Schmitt depending on your source. Outside of service records, he used Smith after coming over from Alsace-Lorraine area of France in 1845.
This even has a physical description: 5 foot 8 inches, light complected, grey eyes, brown hair. Born in Colmer, France. 3 Oct 1864, served three year term. Discharged at Davenport, Iowa.
Thanks to cousin Will Grapes for sharing this image! ;-)
