Frank Shubert was awarded the Medal of Honor for displaying, on April 2, 1865, "distinguished gallantry in action at Petersburg VA when he captured two confederate markers." He enlisted in August 1861 as a private in Company E of the 43rd Regiment New York State Volunteers, and was rapidly promoted to Sergeant, receving a Lieutenant's commission shortly after the action at Petersburg. He served through the duration of the war and participated in virtually every major action. He was seriously wounded in the arm at a previous engagement. Frank Shubert immigrated from Germany to Canajoharie, New York in 1851 and after some time farming became a partner in a shoemaking store. He returned to shoemaking after the war.
Private Ellis F. Moyer, Company E, immigrated to the United States from Wurttenburg (Germany) about 1854. He lived near Gloversville, New York and is buried there near the Civil War Memorial at the Prospect Hill Cemetery.
