Delos is described here as being 38 at this time and having a condition described as “Chronic Hepatic Disease.” This diagnosis was made at Douglas Hospital, Washington D.C.
Chronic pains in right ?? region is described here. The pains are to have been with him for the last 16 years. His discharge date is listed here as October 8 1864.
Delos is said, along the left side of the paper, to have been transferred from Douglas Hospital, Washington D.C. to New York on June 13th 1864. His age is described as 39 here. His wife is mentioned here, her name spelled as Evlin (Evelaine Wait?)
This page is interesting in that it is a standard “Casualty Sheet” form. It must have been used to list discharges as well as deaths. The Malott’s were lucky that the former was true.
A note from August 13th 1883. Must have been written by a clerk or auditor tracking down information on civil war records. Written 19 years later than Delos’ discharge.
Muster Card for the 126th Ohio Regiment
This “Muster Card” was used to file information on soldiers. It states that Delos (Spelled Delus) was a part of the 126th regiment, that he was from Brown County Ohio, Age 28 (An error) and that he was a Farmer. He was drafted for 3 years on May 14th 1864 from Hillsboro Ohio. Delos had blue eyes and Brown hair, was dark complected and was five feet 8 inches tall. He was paid 93 cents “travelling pay” at the time of drafting.
A follow up note tracking down paperwork
A note to a Mr. Scott. Looks like the paperwork did not get to the right people so this follow up note was written requesting his records.
Was there another Malott in the 126th Regiment?
On a side note…. this card describes a 17 year old from Tioga (Tiogo ?) Falls Ohio. His initials appear to be D.L. Malott. He was admitted to G.H. Patterson Park Hospital in Baltimore Maryland on June 24th 1864 for an “Injury to the back.”. Could there have been another Malott in the same Ohio regiment? Or is this some mix up in paperwork and names?
