Follow Up on Charles Albert Nichols, 16th Michigan

From Nichols family on Genweb.

Was in Co. I, 16th Michigan in the Army of the Potomac which was heavily engaged during Grant's 1864 Overland Campaign.  At one time Nichols was on the front lines for seven straight days and his uniform was riddle with bullet holes, but he only received a shoulder wound which required hospitalization in Washington, D.C..

He participated in the Grand Review in D.C., at the war's conclusion.

In later years he organized the GAR post in Leroy, Osceola County, Michigan and was very involved in its activities, participating in many Memorial Days.
