I have an addition to your Civil War Veterans:
William O. Boyd joined on Aug 18, 1864 in  Rochester, MN. He was in company H  11th Minn Vol Infantry. He was discharged Jun 26, 1865 at Gallatin, TN.  He was living in Rochester, MN at the time of enlistment working as a mason. After the war he moved to Iowa and lived there until his death on Aug 15, 1920. His parents were James & Elizabeth (Walker) Boyd. He married Ella Henry Doxey. He was born in Ireland on Sept. 18, 1836, but when he  filled out his papers he said he was born Dec 18. 1839. I have his pension file from the National Archives.  Norann Lustfield
