I have information on the 95t, along with muster roll for
Company A, on my website at:

http://pa-roots.com/PACW/paregiments.htm

According to the history of the regiment, it was in the
war until the end (April of 1865).

The best (in fact, the only) reference for the History of
the PA Volunteers is a 5-volume work written by Samuel
P. Bates. Organized numerically by regiment/unit number,
Bates prepared a history of the unit (including the counties
where the unit was recruited), a description of its service
(battles, skirmishes, winter camps, etc), casualties, and,
most important for genealogists, rosters for each company
in the unit. The 32nd regiment is probably in Volume 1 or 2.

The info listed for each soldier is brief: date of muster into
service, promotions, if any, wounds, if any, and date of muster
out of service. If the individual was killed in action or died
from wounds or illness, there may be burial information also.

If you live in PA, your local library may have the Bates volumes. If
not (or if you live outside the state) your local library should be
able to arrange an inter-library loan for you. There will be no charge
for
arranging the loan, but you may be restricted to using the volume(s) in
the library.

If Bates doesn't answer all your questions, I'd suggest trying to find
out if a history of the regiment was written. After the war, the
regiments held reunions periodically (usually every 10 years). And,
about 40 years after the war most embarked on writing up the history of
their regiment.
