. The town of Wayland in the civil war of 1861-1865, as represented in the army and navy of the American union .. . his ardentsympathies were aroused in behalf of his country;and in July, 1861, he enrolled his name as a pri-vate in the Thirteenth Infantry Regiment, Com-pany H. He is described as having a light complexion, with blue eyesand dark-brown hair, five feet six inches and a half tall. Mr. Corliss was united by marriage with Ellen O. Whitneyof Wayland, July 17, 1853. He left home with enthusiastic hopes of usefulness, and awilling heart to share the fearful experiences of war. But anunlooked-for fate awaited him. He had been with his regimentbut about five weeks, when he experienced a very severe attackof hemorrhage of the lungs. He pleaded to remain with hiscomrades against the wiser decision of his surgeon, by whoseorder he was compelled to remain while they marched on. He was subsequently removed to his home, where his vitalenergies slowly wasted till they finally yielded in peaceful death,Nov. 29, 1863. His widow has since been married to Mr. Albert T. Lyon ofWayland. Ferdinand ERDINAND GORMAN was a native of Baden,in Germany. He was born Oct. 19, 1830. Heemigrated to this country about twelve years pre-vious to the war, ten of which had been spent inWayland in the occupation of shoemaking. With a wife (Elizabeth Shleicher, to whom hewas married June 3, 1845) and three children de-pending on him for support, Mr. Gorman, with hisGerman spirit of love to the Faderland transferred to hisadopted country, felt it to be his duty to aid in maintaining itsintegrity by enlisting as a private for three years in the Thirty-eighth Infantry Regiment, Gompany I. He is described as being five feet seven inches tall, of darkcomplexion, black hair, and gray eyes. Not much of interest is remembered of the camp at Readville,of the trip to Baltimore, nor of the months sojourn there. As a simple matter-of-fact man, Mr. Gorman had an eye onlyfor his duty as a soldier
