Biography

before the war

Thomas F Walter was born in Christiana, New Castle County, Delaware, about 8 June 1842. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

When he enlisted, he was 5 feet 9 inches tall, and had a light complexion, blue eyes, dark hair, and was a farmer or morocco dresser. [1] [8] [9]

His enlistment was credited to the 13th ward of Philadelphia. [8]

His brother Alfred Walter also fought in the Civil War. Alfred Walter was mustered into service in company E of the 109th Pennsylvania Infantry on 14 March 1862, was promoted to corporal on 1 June 1864, and was discharged on 10 April 1865. [10] [11]

Before enlisting in the 91st, Thomas was a student of medicine and surgery, and a cadet in a military school. [12]

during the war

He enlisted on 2 August 1861, within a month after he had been discharged from 3-months' service. [8]

He enlisted for three years, on 20 August 1861, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, [1] [2] [13] and was mustered in as a sergeant in compmany A of the 91st Pennsylvania Infantry, on 30 September 1861, at Philadelphia. [2] He was enlisted by Captain Starr. [1] [14]

He was promoted to 2nd sergeant on 16 June 1862, by special regimental order number 133. [8]

On the November/December 1862 muster roll, he was absent, as a paroled prisoner at Camp Parole, Annapolis, [8] having been captured when he attempted to retrieve the regimental wagon, which had been abandoned. He had returned to the regiment on 22 February 1863. [15]

He was promoted to 1st sergeant on 1 January 1863, effective 10 December 1862, to replace sergeant John G Brass, who had been promoted. [8] [16]

He is listed on the Pennsylvania Memorial at Gettysburg, as a sergeant in company A. He was wounded on 3 July 1863, at Gettysburg PA, when a cannonball struck his right foot and jammed the bones of the front part over each other. [2] [17] After being admitted to the 2nd division 5th corps Field Hospital, [2] and treated on the field for about 40 hours, [12] he was transferred on 9 July 1863, [2] initially to Camden Station Hospital in Baltimore, where his mother worked. [12] He helped the surgeons with the linens, but wasn't placed on the hospital rolls. [12] The Provost Marshall gave him a pass to the hospital at Wilmington DE, and the Provost Marshall there gave him another to go to Philadelphia, because the hospitals were filled with more seriously wounded people. [12]

He was again admitted to the regimental hospital on 4 September 1863, with diarrhoea, and returned to duty on 9 September. [2] [8]

He intended not to reenlist, but changed his mind when he was told that his reenlistment "was necessary to secure the reenlistment of the regiment as a veteran organization". [12]

He was discharged at Bealton VA, on 25 December 1863, and was then due $6.70 for clothing not drawn in kind. He reenlisted on 25 December 1863, as first sergeant of company A, and mustered in on 26 December 1863. He was present on the muster roll for Mar/Apr 1864, but was absent without leave 3 Mar to 17 Mar 1864. [8] He later claimed to have been commanding company A "through nearly all of the Wilderness campaign, the most terrible and exhausting a great army every went through." [12]

On 18 June 1864, his right shoulder and spine were injured by a rifle ball, at Petersburg. [2] He stayed at the front at first, because the wound didn't seem serious--he was present on the muster rolls up to 21 Oct 1864. [12] On 10 October 1864, the Governor of Pennsylvania signed a commission for Walter. [8] He was sent to City Point, and then to Washington and to Baltimore, for treatment, when he "began to suffer from nervous trouble and lassitude". [12]

On 4 November 1864, he received a furlough from 5 November to 25 November 1864, from the surgeon in charge of the hospital, and was then to return to the General Hospital at Camden St Baltimore, Maryland. [8] He apparently returned on the 28th. [8]

He believed that the treatment had not helped him, and told Lieutenant-Colonel Sellers that he was incapable of performing his duties. [12] Sellers replied that he could only be excused from duty by the surgeon. [18] According to JHR Storey, who served in the 109th Pennsylvania, Sellers admitted many decades later that he had "got even with" Walter and others of "Gregory's pets", who were "Christian Association fellows". [12]

He received a commission as first lieutenant on 14 December 1864, appointed to replace lieutenant John G Brass, who mustered out when his term expired. The commission was dated 15 October 1864. [8] He was discharged as sergeant by special order #347, headquarters 5th Army Corp, 27 December 1864, and was promoted to first lieutenant as of 10 October 1864; mustered in on 30 December, to date 14 December 1864.

On 31 December 1864, the adjutant ordered him to go on picket duty; when he refused, he was arrested. [19] [20]

On 4 January 1865, he was charged with disobedience of orders. [19]. (See Courts martial in the 91st Pennsylvania for information about other courts martial.)

On the muster rolls for November/December 1864 and January/February 1865, he was present in arrest, as a first lieutenant. [8]

In an affidavit in his pension file, he notes that he was unable to perform his duties as an officer, and was 'placed in a very unfortunate position by reason of the inability of the surgeons of my regiment to understand the nature of my case'. He received advice from a 'very prominent medical firm in New York', which helped. [12]

But on the March/April 1865 muster roll, he was listed as cashiered by sentence of general court martial, Order No 14 Hd. Qrs. Army of the Potomac 16 Apr 1865. [8]

The General Court Martial was appointed on 7 January 1865, by General Order, headquarters 1st division 5th army corps (Maj Genl Griffen). It then consisted of Brevet Brigadier General H G Sickel (198 PA Vol), Brevet Col Chas P Herring (118 PA Vol), Maj E C Davison (188 NY Vol), Capt A H Barber (185 NY Vol), Capt A H Barber (185 NY Vol), Capt E D Hill (189 NY Vol), Capt John S Donnel (91 PA Vol), Capt I H Seeholtz (188 PA Vol), 1st Lt Edwin Bailey (198 PA Vol), 1st Lt E F Mott (188 NY Vol), and 2nd Lt George Janney (198 P [?] V). On 8 Jan Hill and Mott were relieved and 1st Lt Wm R Bliss (188 NYV) was added (by special order 5, headquarters 1st division 5th army corps). [19]

Walter was tried on 12 January 1865. He accepted the court. He was charged with disobeying orders, by Lieutenant Colonel Eli G Sellars, in particular, "that said Thomas F Walter 1" Lt. Co "A" 91" Pa. V. Vols. having been duly detailed to go on picket by the Adjutant, on the 31" day of December 1864 and having been told by Col. E. G. Sellers Comdg. the Regt. that he could not be excused unless by Surgeon's certificate did positively refuse to obey the order. All this at the Camp of the 91" Regt. Pa. Vet. Vols. on or about the 31" day of December 1864.". Walter pled guilty. He offered only one witness, Brevet Brigadier General Edgar M Gregory, who swore that his character 'as a gentleman and a soldier [was] good'. (Gregory volunteered to testify.) [19] [12]

Walter did not address the court. He later claimed that he did not understand the importance of making a statement to the court. [18] The court then found him guilty, and sentenced him to be cashiered. Griffin approved the findings and sentence on 28 February, and Meade on 21 March. [19]

The company A descriptive roll claims he was cashiered by Order 14, HQ Army of the Potomac, 16 April 1865. [1] According to one secondary source, he was discharged on 6 April 1865. [9][13] However, the regiment reported on 29 April 1865 that he had been cashiered. [21]

By the time his court martial verdict was approved, he was better. General Gregory wanted to have him restored to duty by General Griffin. Walter declined because he "felt so outraged and indignant", and because the war was almost over. [12]

after the war

He lived in Philadelphia after the war. [2]

He worked as an upholsterer (at least through 1880). [2]

He married Anna (or Hannah) Springer, probably in the 1860's. [22] [23] They had four children:

Nina S. Walter (1866-1933)
Frank B. Walter (ca 1867-1933)
Elbert V. Walter (1870-1911)
Bella Walter (1875-1947)

On 13 November 1868, the Assistant Adjutant-General of the US Army wrote to the Governor of Pennsylvania, stating that the US government would not object to his offering Walter a commission in the army. He also wrote Walter, claiming that "[t]he effect of this action is to remove the stigma resting upon you by reason of dismissal and is equivalent practically to an honorable discharge". Walter reasonably understood this as meaning that his dishonorable discharge had been revoked, and that he had (retroactively) been honorably discharged. Unfortunately, no one had authority to revoke the conviction or to make Walter eligible for a pension, and his conviction was still valid. [12]

In 1870, he was living in the 20th ward of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was living with his wife, Hannah, and children Frank and Nina, along with Jabez Jenkins (perhaps a boarder?). [22]

In 1876, he applied for membership in post 8 of the Grand Army of the Republic. Colonel Sellers was then officer of the day. His application was approved unusually quickly, without waiting for a committee to be appointed. [12]

Post 8 made him their chaplain at the next election. [12]

In 1880, he was living in Philadelphia. He was an upholsterer. He was living with his wife, Hannah E Walter, and their four children, Frank, Nina, Elbert, and Bella. [4]

Starting about 1881, his shoulder and spine wounds left him largely disabled. [18]

He applied for a pension three times, on 19 December 1873, 27 May 1894, and 4 March 1907. [24] [25] In 1873, he stated that he had been honorably discharged on 16 April 1865. In 1894, he left blank the space to record his honorable discharge. In 1907, he presented himself as having been honorably discharged at Bealton on 25 December 1863, and also having served after that. [2]

Each of his applications was rejected. One problem was the absence of clear evidence that his wounds had disabled him. In particular, four examinations (in February 1874, August 1891, February 1893, and October 1899) found no scars on his right foot or shoulder. The third examination did find excessive nervousness, for which they rated him eligible for $6 per month for neurasthenia. [2]

In 1890, he was living at 28 or 38 North 16th Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was an upholsterer. [13] [26]

In 1891, he explained his disability in detail: he had lost his vigor, was subject to weakness, and had problems with the nerves in his legs, apparently caused by a chronic inflammation of the spine. His memory had worsened, and he was no longer able to climb ladders, raise his hands, and tilt his head backwards to see above him. [2] One physician claimed that he had "chronic myelitis, especially of the anterior columns, such as would be induced by an injury similar to that received by him at Petersburg". [2]

In 1891, his post office address was 38 N 16th St., Philadelphia. [2]

In July 1891, he wrote to the Pension Office, asking for a copy of the proceedings of his court martial. They replied on 16 July 1891. [27]

In 1892, Baker Post, number 8, Grand Army of the Republic, unanimously elected Walter their commander. [12] He was also the only man whom they ever voted the rank of "Major General". [28] In 1892, Baker Post number 8 experienced "some apathy and discouragement" because of "the Frazier episode" and several courts martial against prominent members. Walter claimed, however, that they had the largest turnout ever that Memorial Day. The post also took part in ceremonies in Washington, in September, and had a fair in November. [29]

But in December, three past commanders, including Eli Sellers, withrew from Baker Post, because of a controversial election (involving Frasier). Walter claimed that they were 'angry because they cannot have everything their own way'. [30]

His application for a pension on 10 July 1894 under the act of 27 June 1890 (which did not require physical disability resulting from service) was rejected because he was not honorably discharged. [18]

In May 1895, William Twombly wrote the Pension Office about him, asking something about his remuster. They replied on 18 May 1895. [27]

On 13 June 1895, he wrote the Pension Office, applying for a Medal of Honor. They replied on 13 June 1895. [27]

In September 1896, the War Department Auditor wrote the Pension Office about him, asking for a re-examination of his date of enrolment. They replied on 9 September 1896. [27]

By 4 October 1896, he was divorced. [31]

In 1899, the Commissioner of Pensions wrote the Records office, asking about his status as a volunteer granted an honorable discharge. They replied on 10 March 1899. [27]

In February 1900, a physician reported that he wasn't able to sleep well, because he couldn't sleep on his right side (because of his hip), on his left side (because of his lung), or on his back (because of pain from his spine). He also had continual pain in his wounded foot, and often limped because of it. He had been dropping tools for about 6-8 years, was occasionally unable to speak clearly, and had had bowel problems since the end of the war. [18]

In March 1900, the General E D Baker Post (number 8) of the Grand Army of the Republic passed a resolution supporting his application for a pension. [18]

In May 1900, the House Committee on Invalid Pensions recommended that the House pass a bill granting Walter a pension of $17 per month. The bill as introduced would have given him a pension of $50 per month; the committee recommended replacing the proposed wording and reducing the pension to $17 per month. [18]

In 1900, he was a lodger living at 909 Carlisle Street. He was still an upholsterer. He was divorced. [5] His ex-wife, Anna Walter, was living at 1912 Fairmount Avenue, with her children Elbert (who was a draper) and Darrah Belle (who had been married for four years). Anna had had four children, all of whom were still living. [32]

The House bill granting him a pension was reintroduced. In February 1902, the House Committee on Invalid Pensions again recommended approving it (at a rate of $17 per month). [33]

In March 1902, the Senate Committee on Pensions also recommended approving it. [34] Unfortunately for Walter, after the House and Senate passed the bill, President Roosevelt vetoed it because Walter had been cashiered for disobeying an order. Roosevelt claimed that to give Walter a pension "would be to condone an inexcusable offense by a commissioned officer, to detract from the high estimate in which the pension roll ought ever to be held, and to do an injustice to soldiers now on that roll". [35] [28]

Post 8 of the GAR unanimously "endorsed" the March 1900 resolution at another meeting in December 1905. [12]

In 1906, he claimed that he had never had whisky, despised alcohol, and had never been addicted to tobacco. [12]

Walter tried for a pension once more. This time, Senator Boies Penroe introduced a bill revoking his conviction. In May 1906, the Senate Committee on Military Affairs recommended approving a revised version of the bill. [12]

In February 1907, the House Committee on Military Affairs recommend approval. [36] The House informed the Senate on 1 March 1907 that they had passed the bill, and on 2 March 1907, the signed bill was presented to the President. [37] As far as is known, he did not sign it.

In 1907, Walters' post-office address was 1629 Columbia Ave. [2]

In 1910, he was living in the Pennsylvania Soldiers and Sailors Home, Erie, Erie County, Pennsylvania. The census lists him as married, once, with four children, all living. [38]

On 2 May 1911, his son Elbert V Walter died. [23]

On 10 March 1912, Thomas Walter died, in the Soldier's & Sailor's Home, Erie, Erie County, Pennsylvania. He died of general paresis, which he had had for three years. He was buried in the Pennsylvania Soldiers and Sailors Home Cemetery, in Erie, Pennsylvania. [6] [3] [7]
