Iver Andersen was born at Evangerhougen, Voss, Hordaland, Norway and left Voss parish for America May 6, 1856. He joined the WI 15th Infantry, Company E. The men of the company called themselves "Odin's Rifles."
The army listed Anderson as living in Preston, Jackson County, WI, age 30, a farmer, and unmarried. He had blue eyes, sandy hair, fair complexion, and stood 5’7”. He enlisted for three years on November 7, 1861, at Preston, and mustered on December 8, 1861, at Madison, WI, as a Private (Menig). He was wounded at Stones River near Murfreesboro, TN, on December 30, 1862, and sent to hospital at Nashville, TN. He was moved to a hospital at New Albany, IN. He was sick at Chattanooga, TN, on November 28, 1863. On May 27, 1864, he was killed by a gunshot in a battle near Allatoona, GA. His brother, Peter Anderson, also joined Company E (Find-A-Grave record #25016644). The Battle of Alatoona occurred on 5 Oct 1864, so more research is required into the circumstances of his death on 27 May 1864.
