Notes

Phillip B. Muehlbauer served in the Union Army from November 2, 1862 until his discharge in New Orleans on November 2, 1865. He was in Company F of the 1st Regiment of the U.S. Cavalry, attached to the Army of the Potomac, and thus they engaged in the same battles, including the Battle of Gettysburg and the Rapidan Campaign.
In 1864, Company F was placed under the command of Phil Sheridan, and engaged in the Shenandoah Valley Campaign, including Sheridan's Raid and Appomattox Station, and they were present at the surrender of General Lee at the Appomattox Courthouse on April 9, 1865.
Phillip suffered a sabre wound at Mechanicsville,Va., and later applied to the Department of the Interior for a war pension for this and for rheumatism as a result of his service in 1893. The case continued for 13 years until 1906, when he was awarded 3/5pension benefits.* Two years after winning his case Phillip died at age 68.
