Louis enlisted in the U. S. Army in Philadephia on 17 Feb 1853 and was discharged on 17 Feb 1858 at Fort Buchanan in New Mexico. At the time of enlistment, he was said to be 5 ft 8 1/4 in tall, with hazel eyes, brown hair, and a dark complexion. (U.S., Army, Register of Enlistments, 1798-1914)
He enlisted in the California Volunteer Infantry in San Francisco, California on 14 Jan 1865. He was placed in Company F of the 8th California Infantry. He mustered out at Fort Point in San Francisco on 24 Oct 1865. At the time of his enlistment, he was 35 years old, 5'9" tall, with ruddy complexion, hazel eyes, brown hair, and his occupation was brewer. (Register of California Men in the War of the Rebellion 1861 to 1867, U.S., Civil War Soldier Records and Profiles, 1861-1865)
He was a boarder at the home of John and Mary Matthes in Foots Creek in 1880. He was employed in gold mining. (1880 United States Federal Census)
On 20 Mar 1889, he filed from the state of Oregon to receive his Civil War service pension as an invalid. (U.S., Civil War Pension Index: General Index to Pension Files, 1861-1934)
In 1890, he was living in Rock Point, Jackson County, Oregon. He states he lost his right eye in firing during his Civil War service. (1890 Veterans Schedules of the U.S. Federal Census)
On 4 Aug 1894, the Statesman Journal (Salem, Oregon, page 3) includes him in a list of pension grantees and states he was residing in Rock Point, Jackson County.
On 4 May 1895, the San Francisco Call (San Francisco, California, page 1) includes him in a list of people whose pensions have increased and residing in Rockpoint, Jackson County, Oregon.
I am unable to locate Louis in the 1900 census. I believe he likely died sometime between 1895 and 1900 in Jackson County, Oregon.
