Account of Hamilton BOWLBY -
Volunteer Company: Musconetcong Guards
Company H, 8th Regt. NJ Volunteers
Fellow volunteer and company member Henry LUNGER noted that Hamilton BOWLBY "was a tent mate of mine in Co. H, 8th Regt. NJ Vols. and it was my duty as 2nd Sergeant to take the sick to the Regimental Hospital. About election time in Nov 1861 the Regiment was ordered to Bryantown, MD to guard the Election, when we returned to camp I found him suffering with Neuralgia and took him to the Regimental Hospital for treatment. During the month of Jun 1862 I also took him to the Regimental Hospital for treatment for Chronic Diarrhea and in Jul he was relieved from duty for several days".
