Andover Casualties

Below is a description of Andover casualties during the Civil War extracted from “The Record of Andover During the Rebellion” by Samuel Raymond (Andover, MA: Warren F. Draper 1875)

Samuel Raymond tabulated One Hundred Forty Nine (149) Andover casualties (killed, captured, wounded and disabled) as the result of the Civil War. It is quite important, however, to note that Mr. Raymond compiled these numbers only ten (10) years after the war without the benefit of the research tools we have at our disposal today. Accordingly, it is quite likely that Mr. Raymond’s missed a significant number of Andover casualties. Despite this, the numbers compiled by Mr. Raymond are staggering for a town that had less than 4,800 people as Andover had during the Civil War.

In 1875, Samuel Raymond identified Sixty (60) men who died as the result of the Civil War. According to his book:

  • Thirteen (13) men were killed in action, Seven (7) having died on the battlefield at Harris Farm (Spotsylvania) on May 19, 1864
  • Fourteen (14) men died as the result of wounds suffered in battle, Seven (7) having died as the result of wounds suffered at Harris Farm (Spotsylvania) on May 19, 1864
  • Seven (7) men died while prisoners of the Confederacy or as the direct result of imprisonment, One (1) having died in prison after being captured at Harris Farm (Spotsylvania) on May 19, 1864
  • Twenty-Six (26) men died as the result of sickness, disease or accident during the war.

Raymond accounts for Seven (7) men who were Confederate Prisoners but survived the war.

He also accounts for Fifty Six (56) men who were wounded in battle, but survived the war, just under half of whom (24) were wounded at Harris Farm (Spotsylvania) on May 19, 1864 (note that two (2) of the men Raymond identifies as having been wounded spent part of the war as prisoners and are accounted for as above).

Samuel Raymond also accounted for Twenty Eight (28) other men who were recorded as having been discharged from the military as the result of “disability.”

Below are the names of the men identified by Samuel Raymond with brief descriptions of each soldier taken from “The Record of Andover During the Rebellion.” Although Mr. Raymond undoubtedly was unable to account for Andover men who served in other regiments or for other states, the descriptions of these men and their injuries should give us pause. Included in this group of men are Seven (7) men who lost a limb. There are numerous men who survive the war only to die shortly thereafter from injuries and diseases contracted during the war. And there is no accounting for the psychological damage the war did to so many of these men given that issues such as post traumatic stress disorder were not fully understood and given that the subject of suicide was not discussed (for example, see the description for Joseph Bell – “Found dead in the woods near Lawrence, Sept. 22, 1865”).

According to Joan Patrakis, author of “Andover in the Civil War,” her research has revealed that a total of Ninety-three (93) Andover men died as the result of the Civil War. Ms. Patrakis’ totals, compiled after years of research and benefited by modern research tools are as follows:

  • Twenty (20) Andover men were killed in action (Seven (7) of whom died at Spotsylvania)
  • Fifteen (15) Andover men were mortally wounded (Eight (8) of whom died at Spotsylvania)
  • Fifty Eight (58) Andover men died as the result of sickness, disease or accident (Two (2) of whom died after being taken prisoner at Spotsylvania)
  • Twenty Nine (29) Andover men were injured at Spotsylvania (not including those mortally wounded).

To put these numbers in perspective, one might extrapolate how many Andover men might be casualties if the Civil War were to be re-fought today.

  • One Hundred Thirty Eight (138) Andover citizens killed in action (Forty Eight (48) dying on one day)
  • One Hundred Four (104) Andover citizens mortally wounded (Fifty Five (55) suffering their wounds on the same day)
  • Four Hundred One (401) Andover citizens who died as the result of sickness, disease or accident
  • Two Hundred One (201) Andover citizens who were injured on one day (not including those mortally wounded).

It is extremely difficult for a person today to understand just how much Andover and its citizens were devastated by the Civil War. Numbers do not put into proper perspective the anguish and the void left in the wake of so much death, dismemberment, and psychological trauma.

Numbers cannot describe the darkness that descended on so many families, loved ones and friends when they learned that someone close to them had died or was wounded beyond repair.

The brother of James Merrill, who is listed below, did try to put it into perspective three decades after the war:

“You do not forger those days, those awful days. I was but a lad not yet in my teens, and I do not forget them. Here in the home of my childhood, surely you will permit me to let a bit of personal history recall you to the scene that was enacted in so many a [ ] home in those cruel days.

 I remember when the sun was darkened and all the light of day went out. It was just at set of sun, when a neighbor stopped at the door with a message in his hand and these words upon his lips: “From your brother’s colonel.” And everyone was afraid to read the message. From it, I recall these words alone: “He was a brave soldier, and we bury him tomorrow with military honors.”

 Then, for the first time in my life, I heard a strong man weep and sob aloud in the bitterness of grief. Then, in a few moments, the door opened and the bluff, plain spoken neighbor entered. How the atmosphere of sorrow tones down his high-pitched voice and softens his rugged features. I had never heard Captain Chandler speak except when it did not seem that he could be heard from a quarter to half a mile.

 That evening his voice was tender as that of a mother crooning to her babe, and the great tears rolled over his cheeks from eyes not used to weeping.”

A scene such as this was repeated in Andover Ninety-Three (93) times. Sons lost. Husbands lost. Fathers lost. Brothers lost. As you read the descriptions of such men by Samuel Raymond, think of those like the family of James Merrill – the loved ones left behind without their own Roll of Honor as well as the men who returned from the war forever changed:
