I believe that war destroys lives and Charley was lucky to survive the battles, but the aftermath of the war is what took a toll on him which caused him to die . Later it is noted that in the Battle of Gettysburg only forty-seven men were left standing of the original thousand soldiers in Minnesota's First Volunteers. Charley was not one of them. He was hit severely, and got patched up as best they could. He fought at later actions, but his wounds did not heal properly, nor his mental terror. The war finished and he tried to hold jobs, but he couldn't. He went running for county clerk based on his war record. He was elected, but before he could serve, his wounds and the stress took him and he died in December 1868 at the age of twenty-three years
