I found out that both George Nixon and Richard Enderlin were in the same Company B of the 73rd Ohio.
For his extraordinary courage, Richard Enderlin was promoted to sergeant the next day. He continued his duties as musician until seriously wounded himself in the spring of 1864. He finished the war in the Veteran Reserve Corps.
Then on September 11, 1897, he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Enderlin went on to live a long life and died February 11, 1930 and is buried at Grandview Cemetery in Chillicothe, Ohio, his hometown. Chillicothe had a memorial to Enderlin outside of Yoctangee Park.
