Looking for data on Civil War veteran Cyrus Kipple
who served with the 87th Pennsylvania Volunteer
Infantry. The unit mustered in York in September 1861.
I am writing a history of the regiment and am seeking
firsthand accounts by the veterans. I am also building
a database of personal data on each soldier and need
your help in that huge task.
