"The sixth oldest son was William Henry Matthews. Probably lying about his age (saying he was 18 when he was really only 15), he enlisted on Aug.14, 1862 as a private in Co A 148th NY Volunteers. This means that William and his brother George were both serving in the same company. He died of typhoid on March 18, 1864 at the Yorktown hospital and was buried in Yorktown. The two brothers who served in the same company were the only brothers to die during the war. William Henry Matthews was born Dec. 10, 1847, making him apparently only 16 at the time of his death."
