Edward D. Hastings
Edward applied for his pension from Harris Co., TX. He enlisted in Co. K on June
26,1862 at Escondido. His enlistment officer was Capt. John Donelson. His
military record shows that on the muster roll for Feb. 28,1863 that he was
detailed to service in the hospital at Columbus, Texas as an attendant.
His records show that on June, 1864 he was still at the hospital, but was under
treatment for inflammation of the eye. He must have been released shortly
after that, because in July 6, 1865 his records indicate that he was paroled as
a prisoner of war. On the muster roll of Oct. 31, 1862 the Cavalry valued
his horse at $ 40.00 and his equipment at $ 40.00. He was paid $24.40 by
the Cavalry for use of his horse.
