Private, Co. G, 36th Massachusetts Infantry
(3rd Brig., 1st Div, 9th Corps, Army of the Potomac)
(3rd Brig., 1st Div., 9th Corps, Army of the Tennessee)
The son of Hosea and Mary Eliza (Chard) Aldrich.
Standing 5 ft. 6-1/2 in. tall, with a light complexion, gray eyes, and light colored hair, Hezekiah was a 25-year-old Farmer from Charlton, MA, when he enlisted on August 2, 1862 and was mustered as a Private in Co. G of the 36th Massachusetts Infantry on August 27th.
His regiment, which was assigned to Burnside’s Ninth Corps in the Army of the Potomac, fought at Fredericksburg, VA on Dec. 13, 1862 and was subsequently sent to Lexington, KY and attached to the Dept. of Ohio in late winter 1863. They participated in the Union pursuit of John Morgan’s guerillas and in June 1863 were moved to siege operations at Vicksburg, MS. From August 1863 they were attached to the Army of the Tennessee and were active during operations in Kentucky, including the siege of Knoxville and pursuit of James Longstreet’s army in Dec. 1863.
Hezekiah was "present" on all Company muster rolls through Aug. 28, 1863 when he was "left sick" at Nicholasville, KY and was subsequently admitted to the hospital at Crab Tree Orchard, KY on Sep. 10, 1863. Although it's not clear as to the date, he evidently became well enough to serve as a guard for a wagon train. That train came under attack near Clinch Mountain, TN which resulted in Hezekiah's capture on Dec. 14, 1863. Held as a prisoner, he was sent to Andersonville on Feb. 10, 1864.
Hezekiah was admitted to the Andersonville prison hospital on July 30, 1864 suffering from Chronic Diarrhea, but died that same day.
