My second great grandfather was Ernest L.F. Miller in the 1st Minnesota at Gettysburg...My other great grandfather was Ernest Hainlin company B, 9th Minnesota captured at Guntown and survived in Andersonville prison...we are still on watch
Ernest was also part of the 1st Minnesota, April 29, 1861, he enlisted in Company H, First Minnesota; served only one year; was mustered out in consequence of ill-health. In August, 1862, having regained his health, he enlisted in Company B, Ninth Minnesota; was sergeant of the company, and was captured at the battle of Guntown, Mississippi, in June, 1864. He was held at Andersonville and Savannah until November 25, 1864, during which time he was commissioned second lieutenant, but did not receive it on account of his imprisonment. On being released he was acting sergeant-major until mustered out in August, 1865. In 1870 he was admitted to the bar of Minnesota, and since that time he has practiced law; for four years he served as county attorney.
