"Hazel Smith Bradeen" According to Ancestry.com: Residence: Columbia, Maine Occupation: Service Record: Enlisted as a Private on 10 October 1862 at the age of 21 Enlisted in Company D, 22nd Infantry Regiment Maine on 10 October 1862. Hospitalized on 24 July 1863 at New Orleans, LA (Sick) The 22nd Maine Infantry Regiment was mustered into the Union Army on October 18, 1862. They were mustered out on August 14, 1863. The length of service was nine months. The 22nd saw action in two battles of the Civil War. The first was at Franklin, LA on April 15, 1863 and the 2nd at Port Hudson, LA (Baton Rouge) from May 27 to July 9, 1863. If, as his gravestone indicates, he died 19 Jul, 1863 then it was probably at Port Hudson that he was captured and subsequently interned at Libby Prison in Richmond, VA. A total of 9 men were killed and 160 died of disease (like Venleson).
