When I enlisted, I was sound in body and limb and was quite large and strong for a boy of 15 years of age. George Clark, Elroy, Roy Button, Elkhorn, WI----. That is the end of that deposition that I have.

In another depositon dated July 12, 1904 Dwight Utter dates the following: " Ever since the years of my dischare I have resided in Juneau Co., WI near Mauston and Elroy postoffices, on farms, but from the fall of 1865 until Jan 1, 1, 1866, I stayed at Elkhorn, Wi at the house ofmy grandfather, David Utter.
