First Michigan Infantry
page 491-494

There was not any one company complete from Calhoun in the New First, but there were recruits from the county in several companies. Hiram S. Warner, of Marshall, who served in the three-months regiment as second lieutenant of Company I, entered the three-year regiment as first lieutenant of Company I, and Oliver C. Comstock, of Marshall, was made second lieutenant of Company E. He was a brave and gallant officer; made first lieutenant November 18, 1861; captain, May 26, 1862; killed in action at Gaines Mill, June 27, 1862. Colonel Horace S. Roberts who commanded the regiment in the battle spoke of Comstock as a "brave and promising officer." Lieutenant Warner was made captain on the 10th of December, 1861; resigned in January, 1862, and in July of the same year reentered the service as first lieutenant and adjutant of the 20th Infantry. The First took part in the peninsula campaign under McClellan: was in the second battle of Bull Run in Fitzjohn Porter's command; it fought at Antietam, Fredricksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg and in the surrender at Appomatox. The regiment was mustered out at Louisville, Kentucky, July 9, 1865, and on the 12th, was paid off at Jackson, Michigan. The total enrollment in the regiment, including the three-months and the three-years service, was 1,884. Of these there were killed in action, 130; died of wounds, 39; died in Confederate prisons, 9; died of disease, 76; discharged for disability (wounds and disease), 303.
