Henry Howard -- out of the frame

Here is a cleaned up version of Henry Howard. He was a button Maker. Lee received the following from a Civil War historian, who had information on Massachusetts Volunteers. It appears Henry may have died from his wounds, before 1875.

Hi Mr. Webb,

I have two regimental history books on the tenth. I did find a Henry N. Howard.

Pg. 408 Company D. Howard,Henry N. b. Grafton; 20, Single; button maker, Northampton; June 14, '61; wd. July 1, '62, Malvern Hill; dis. No date, disa.; died before 1875.

"Ours." Annals Of 10th Regiments,Massachusetts Volunteers In The Rebellion. By Capt. Joseph Newell (1875).

Pg. 468. Henry N. Howard, button maker, was born at Grafton, N.Y.; enlisted May 31, 1861; age,twenty; wounded at Malvern; discharged for disability ; died.
