Grauel Francis Grauel who enlisted at the age of 17, he contracted fever and was hospitalized, later working in the hospital where he brought comfort and cheer to the wounded, sick, and lonley. An inscription in the back of his bible he carried during the civil war: This hero is dead. He rests tonight under the flag he rendered stainless, under the quiet stars, the tall pines, the weeping willows, the tearful hemlocks and the embracing vines. Careless alike of sunshine or storm, in the windowless palace of the free. Earth may run red with other wars, but he is at rest in the midst of battle, in the rear of conflict, he found the serenity of death. We have one sentiment for the Soldiers, living and dead-Cheers for the living, and tears for the dead. Francis Grauel's Civil War unit Co H 128th Regiment, Indiana Infantry.
