28th New York Infantry Regiment

Niagara Rifles; Scott Life Guard

Hamilton T Holden

Hamilton Holden enlisted as Private in Company C in May 1861 and served through to June 1863, when the regiment was mustered out. He was captured at the Battle of Winchester, Va on May 25, 1862. He was paroled on June 9, 1862 and rejoined the regiment. Based on his gravestone, he reenlisted with the 91st NY, however, this is not documented anywhere else.

Mr. Holden is buried at Cold Springs Cemetery, Lockport, Niagara County, NY. There do not appear to be any other people buried with him.

The stone reads:

HAMILTON T HOLDEN Co. C 28th NY Co. K 91st NY Vol Born Jan 1 1842 Died Dec 19 1895

He is buried very close to two other men who served with the 28th NY along by the railroad tracks which run along the northern edge of the old section of the cemetery.
