Co D
4th IOWA CAV
This gentleman's name is George W Sheets. He was born in 1813 in Virginia to Andrew and Catherine Sensebough Sheets. He married Elizabeth Sellars in Marion County, Indiana on 20 Dec 1832. He moved to Story County, Iowa sometime between 1850 and 1860. I dont have a death date for him quite yet. He enlisted with Co D 4th Iowa Cavalry on 13 Jan 1864 and was mustered out of the Union Army with the entire regiment on 8 Aug 1865 in Atlanta, GA. Elizabeth and him had 3 sons and 4 daughters and all of them resided in Iowa as far as I can tell so far.

George was a veteran of the Civil War, serving in Co. D, 4th IA Cav. He was about 47 at the time of his enlistment, and said he was only 45 because soldiers over age 45 were detailed to guard prisoners and handle supplies. He contracted smallpox in boot camp and, although he recovered enough to go back into the line, was in poor health for the rest of his life. He applied for a pension, but died before the paperwork was completed. George is buried in Pleasant Hill cemetery in Henry Co., IA.
