91st PA: Edward Ogden

Edward Ogden

Before the war

He was born in 1829/33, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, probably to John and Mary Ogden. [sources: date: 5 (32 in 1862), 7 (17 (?) in 1850), 8 (34 at death in 1863), 9 (34 at death), 11 (30 in 1862; 32 in 1862), 13 (34 in 1863). place: 7, 8, 13. parents: 7, 11, 13]

In 1850, he was living in ward 4, Spring Garden, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was living with John and Mary Ogden (presumably his parents), and with Eliza and John Ogden (presumably his siblings). He was a cabinetmaker. [source: 7]

On 5 June 1856, his father, John Ogden, died, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, of pulmonary disease. [source: 11]

Edward supported his mother from about 1852 until he enlisted. He earned about $9 per week as a varnisher, and gave it to her for her rent and other expenses. [source: 11]

In 1860, he was a varnisher, living at 1214 Vine Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. [source: 10]

When he enlisted, he was a cabinetmaker. [source: 11]

Description

When he enlisted, he was 5 feet 8 inches tall, had a dark complexion, hazel eyes, and black hair. [source: 11]

During the war

He enlisted and was mustered into service, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 9 January 1862. He was mustered in as a private, in company D. [sources: 1, 5, 11 (dates vary from 8 Jan 61 to 9 Jan 62), 15]

Ogden became ill after two days and nights of guard duty, during which he was drenched by rain. On 25 September 1862, he was admitted to hospital in Alexandria, Virginia. He stayed there until he was discharged. [source: 11]

He was discharged at Washington, DC, on surgeon's certificate of disability on 22, 21, or 27 November 1862. He was a private, in company D. He had been unfit for duty forty days in the previous two months. He was discharged because of phthisis pulmonalis, which he had contracted since entering the service, and in the line of duty. [sources: 1 (27 Nov), 4 (21 Nov), 5 (21 Nov), 11, 15]

After the war

He applied unsuccessfully for a pension on 2 January 1863, under the act of 14 July 1862. (It appears to have been rejected because of his death; in any event, it was rejected on 11 June 1865, after his death.) [sources: 3, 6, 11]

On 6 March 1863, a physician, Wilson Jewell, examined him as part of his pension application. He concluded:

Ogden was taken sick in Sept. last with fever, cough, extreme prostration + bleeding from the lungs. he was sent to hospital in Alexandria, and not improving was discharged in November. Since which time, he has been confined to his chambers. His disease is Pulmonary consumption, brought on by exposure in camp life. According to his own + his mothers [sic] statement, he was a healthy man before he entered the army. I have carefully examined into the history of this man + believe his statement. I consider him entitled to full disability. It is proper to state that eleven years since his father died from Pulmonary disease, his mother is healthy.

and later reported:

My examination today at his house finds him unable to leave his bed. He has large cavities in both lungs, night sweats, cough, copious expectoration of purulent matter + great debility. He cannot live the winter through. He is deserving of full rate of disability.

[source: 11]

On 29 December 1863, he died, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, of phthisis. He was single. He was a varnisher. He died at, or was buried from 1505 Carlton Street, ward 15, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. On 31 December 1863, he was buried in Odd Fellows Cemetery. He was apparently reburied later in Philadelphia National Cemetery. [sources: 2 (Philadelphia Nat'l Cem), 8 (Odd Fellow Cem), 9 (29 Dec), 11 (29 Sep), 13 (Odd Fellows), 14 (Philadelphia Nat'l Cem)]

On 3 November 1865, William H Chandler certified that Ogden 'served as a faithful and obedient soldier', and was always well before he contracted pulmonary consumption in September 1862. [source: 11]

His mother, Mary Ogden, applied successfully for a pension on 17 November 1865. He address was 1905 Carleton Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her application was accepted on 15 October 1866. She received $8 per month, retroactive to 22 November 1862. [sources: 3, 6, 11]

On 4 June 1879, Mary Ogden was paid $8, for her pension. This was the last payment she received. On 30 September 1882, she was dropped because she hadn't claimed her pension. [source: 11]

She is presumably the Mary Ann Ogden who died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 30 July 1879, of phthisis. If so, she was buried on 1 August 1879, in Odd Fellows' Cemetery. [source: 12]
