I am not confident what his name is, because I often find distinguishing an 'l' from a 't' hard.
He was born in Germany (5, 6), in Prussia (12, 13). He was born on 4 March 1835 (11; 5 (28 in 1863), 6 (28 in 1863), 12 (35 in 1870), 13 (45 in 1880)).
He may be the Frederick Stolta who filed a declaration of intent on 22 February 1858, and was naturalized on 3 October 1860, in the district courts of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania (10).
When he enlisted, he was a laborer (5, 6).
When he enlisted, he was 5 feet 4 inches tall, and had a fair complexion, grey eyes, and light hair (5, 6).
He was drafted (1, 5, 6). He enlisted and was mustered into service on 10 July 1863 in the 62nd Pennsylvania Infantry (1, 5, 6). He was enlisted for three years (5, 6). His service was credited to the 22nd or 23rd congressional district (5 [22], 6 [23]). He served in company M (15).
He was transferred on 20 July 1864 from company M of the 62nd Pennsylvania to the 91st (1). On 21 July 1864, he, and the other members of companies L and M, were assigned to company G (2). On 22 July 1864, they were transferred to company K, following brigade orders to assign them to the smallest company (3). He was then present, as a private (3). He was a private in company K (1, 3, 15, 16-17).
On 28 June 1865, he began a furlough, which expired on 13 July 1865 (4, 9).
He was absent, on furlough, when the regiment mustered out (1). He was a private, in company K (16-17).
In 1870, he was living in East Birmingham, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania (12). He was living with his wife Caroline, children August, Mina, and Frederick, and a domestic (12). He kept a tavern, and owned $5,000 in real estate and $1,500 [?] in personal property (12).
In 1880, he was living at 31 Grant Street, Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania (13). He was living with his wife Carolin, and children Gusta, Minnie, Fredrick, Emma, and Ada (13). He kept a saloon (13).
In 1890, he was living on Smith Street, ward 23, Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania (14).
On 31 October 1892, he applied successfully from Pennsylvania for a pension (7, 8).
He died on 7 January 1895 (8, 11). He was buried in First Saint Pauls Evangelical Lutheran Cemetery, Mount Oliver, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania (11).
On 4 February 1895, his widow, Barbara Stolte, applied unsuccessfully from Pennsylvania for a pension (7, 8).

There is another Frederick (Fred, Friedrich) Stolte married to Caroline in the US--in the 1880 census, they are at microfilm series T9, film 328, page 318C--he was born in Germany (ca 1838), living in Maxfield, Bremer County, Iowa, and living with Carolina, and his children Mina, Sophia, Mary, John, Lena, and Fred. The fact that the children don't match indicates that these are two different Frederick Stolte's; also Find a Grave has him dying on 14 May 1892 (and Caroline on 5 October 1918), and buried in the Saint Matthew's Cemetery, Readlyn, Bremer County, Iowa.
