  • Notes 
    • Christopher stated on his Civil War - Invalid Pension Application, that for 35 years prior to his enlistment in the Army he had resided in Russell, St. Lawrence Co., New York, and that he had resided there since his discharge.
      He went on to state that he had farmed, chopped wood, and cleared land prior to enlisting in the Union Army.
      Regarding his service in the Army he stated "I was taken with a violent cold while at Fort Independence, (Mass.) which was followed by a severe cough, which brought on a pain in my left side. I was sent to Richmond, Va. in the later part of May, 1865. A short time after my arrival there I was taken with chronic diarrhea. I was treated in the regiment for a while and then sent to the hospital"...
      The result of this last illness led to Christopher's discharge.
      Christopher suffered with the side pain and other ailments for years after his discharge. However he stated that he found some relief by spending time in the wilderness, living on wild game and fish.
