CIVIL WAR VETERAN
Co B 9th Mich Cav.
His Civil War records lists him as Henry W. Hainer.
Enlisted in company B, Ninth Michigan Cavalry, Nov 12, 1863 at Tecumseh, Mich, for 3 years, age 25. Mustered Nov. 29, 1863. Joined regiment at Mossy Creek, Tenn., Jan 1, 1864.
Regiment history: The regiment was splendidly equipped before leaving the state and armed with the Spencer rifle, which was a superior weapon at that date. The rifle was a magazine gun, capable of being fired seven times without reloading and for this reason the regiment was frequently called upon for special duty in hazardous situations and was often on the skirmish line. The Ninth was furnished with fine mounts when it left the state and the personnel of the different companies was excellent.
The Ninth joined General Sherman's army on the Atlanta Campaign, and before the fall of Atlanta. At Waynesboro, Ga., the Ninth made a brilliant charge upon the forces of General Wheeler, driving the enemy in confusion and capturing 100 prisoners.
In a skirmish with the confederate General Johnson's forces just before the news of General Lee's surrender and the order came to "cease firing" it is asserted that the Ninth fired the last hostile shot of the war east of the Mississippi. The regiment was at Chapel Hill, N. C., when General Johnson surrendered to General Sherman.
The regiment was mustered out of service at Concord,N.C., July 21, 1865, and started at once for Michigan, and arrived at Jackson, July 30, where it was paid and disbanded.
Henry mustered out at Lexington, N.C., July 21, 1865. He did survive the war.
Information taken from the Michigan Volunteers of the Civil War 1861-1865.
