Among those who were disabled or died of disease:
- Eli Deitz was a 23 year old native of Berne and a Private in Company D when he was stricken at Upton’s Hill VA and discharged for his disability on November 21, 1861. There is no record of his death but it is presumed that because he was never again counted in a census, it was shortly after his discharge. He left behind his mother.
- William C. Conkling from Rensselaerville was a 24 year old and a Lieutenant in Company G when he died of disease at Washington, DC on November 28, 1861. He left behind his widow and his parents.
