NOTES: From Martial Deeds of Pennsylvania by Samuel P. Bates, Philadelphia, T.H. Davis & Co., 1876: FREDERICK 0. ALLEMAN was born August 1st, 1829, in Dauphin County. He received a liberal education and graduated at the Pennsylvania Medical College in the spring of 1853. At the opening of the Rebellion he served as a private in the Fifteenth regiment, and at the close of its term was appointed Assistant Surgeon of the Eighth Reserve. He was active through the entire Peninsula campaign. "On one occasion," says a correspondent, "while caring for the suffering, two shells burst by his side, instantly killing three of his wounded, and tearing to pieces the body of one whose leg he was amputating. He had three horses shot under him, and for four consecutive days and nights got neither food nor sleep, being constantly engaged with the knife and in dressing wounds." At the close of the campaign he resigned, but was immediately reappointed Assistant Surgeon in the Ninth Reserve. He remained with this until after the battle of Fredericksburg, when he was detailed to duty in the Western Army. He had charge of hospitals at Louisville, Nashville, Chattanooga, Lookout Mountain, and Atlanta. From this point he marched with Sherman to the Sea. He was stationed there as Surgeon-in-chief of Roper Hospital*, and was afterwards placed in charge of all the hospitals in the city. Here he remained until after the close of the war, leaving in August, 1865, and was soon after mustered out of service, having been in almost constant duty from the beginning to the end of the Rebellion. He married in 1853 Miss Mary B. Ogelsby, of Harrisburg.

• Roper Hospital, Charleston, SC. This elegant building survived the Civil War intact. Very modern for its day, it contained a library, a large amphitheater for clinical lectures, and living quarters for physicians. It was finally destroyed in a powerful earthquake that ravaged Charleston in 1886.

After the Civil War Frederick returned to Pennsylvania to practice medicine. According to The Homeopathic Sun, Vol.1, p. 157, 1868, F.O. Alleman is listed as a physician practicing in Saxton, Bedford Co., PA. The 1870 Census shows him living in Saxton with his wife Mary and seven children age infant to 16. According to The Hahnemannian Monthly, Vol. 6, p.94, at the Fifth Annual Meeting of the Homeopathic Medical Society of Pennsylvania held at Wayne Hall, Erie, PA, June 3rd and 4th 1870 he was approved for membership in that organization. The Transactions on the World’s Homeopathic Convention, 1880, p. 674 lists Dr. F. O. Alleman of Saxton as the one representative of homoeopathic medicine in Bedford Co., PA.

Sometime after that 1880 convention Frederick moved to Charleston, SC, where he had served during the war. He shows up in Charleston City Directories and the South Carolina State Gazetteer and Business Directory as a druggist and physician as early as 1882. His place of business is given as N.E. Corner Spring and Coming Sts., and elsewhere as 226 Coming St. This is consistent with the Roster of all regimental surgeons and Assistant Surgeons in the late war by N.A. Straight, Washington, D.C., for use of the United States Pension Office. It lists each soldier’s last know address. Frederick’s address is given as Charleston, SC. The 1883 Sholes’ City Directory of the City of Charleston also lists Alleman, C. Oglesby, student, bds Coming, ne corner Spring. That is probably his son Clarence.
