Looking for info on Civil War veteran Lewis V. Holter who served with Company D of the 87th Pennsylvania Infantry, a regiment mustered in York in 1861. Holter actually joined the regiment on two different occasions, the second time after having been discharged for health reasons. His second discharge was also for reasons of health. Holter had emotional problems on which I have many details. Many could be embarrassing, so if you're a descendant, you might want to read them off line.

Holter, Lewis V. Pvt; mustered (1x) Sep 19, 1861; discharged Aug 5, 1864, on a surgeon's certificate; mustered (2x) Aug 5, 1864; discharged May 12, 1865, on a surgeon's certificate; born Feb 14, 1840, in Baltimore, Maryland; died May 2, 1920, in Baltimore, Maryland; a cedar cooper and laborer living in Shrewsbury, York County at war's outbreak; 5' 5", dark hair, hazel eyes; married Mary Birmingham September 1872; children: Louis M., Jeannette, George, Joseph, Ambrose, John, Robert, Howard, and Agnes
