Of the whole unmber, twenty-seven (original members) served their three years' term of enlistment, and were mustered out at its expiration: twenty-six were mus- tered out with the regiment, forty were discharged for disability arising from disease, and two from wounds; seventy were discharged at the close of the war as paroled prisoners and convalescents in hospital, dismounted men and. cavalry men whose term of service expired prior to Oct. 1, 1865: five were discharged by order, and two to receive promotion in other regiments; ten were transferred to the veteran reserve corps, five to the navy, and two to the non-commissioned staff; five were killed in action, four died from wounds, fourteen died of disease, eight died in rebel prisons, and one died from injuries; four are unaccounted for. Thirty-one served three years or more, twenty-seven served two years and less than three, one hundred and twenty-four served one year and less than two, thirty-eight served less than one year, and five, M.
