    MISCELLANEOUS

    WILLIAM G. MORRIS, private; age, 40; mustered in, August 7, 1861. On June 8, 1862, William Gibson Morris was charged with desertion from Luray, Va. and was found at his home in Cameron. He was imprisoned at Wheeling and was then taken to Washington City where he was found guilty in a general court martial trial. A notation in his Service Record, dated May 2, 1889: "...found guilty and sentenced to be dismissed from the service of the United States, and to forfeit all pay and allowances due him from the government; and that one half of his head shaved (the left side) and that he be drummed out of camp with head uncovered, to the tune of the Rogue's March, in the presence of the brigade to which he belongs." The notation goes on to say that since "he was convicted of desertion by a general court martial, the charge of desertion no longer stands against him. The record of the fact that he was absent from June 8 to Aug. 16, 1862 cannot however be expunged." - He received a medical discharge Feb. 20, 1863. The notation also indicates that this man served in a Pa. regiment. Indeed, at his stated age of 43, he enrolled Feb. 1, 1864 at New Brighton, Pa, and mustered in a week later. He was discharged May 11, 1865. He was born in Washington, Pa.]
