  Notes for Lieut. Frederick Augustus Bemis:
[Tower:V1:113-4] FREDERICK AUGUSTUS BEMIS, was born in Spencer, December 20, 1834, and enlisted August 23, 1861 as first sergeant in company C, twenty-first regiment, Massachusetts volunteers, February 28, 1862, he was promoted to second lieutenant, and July 28, 1862 to first-lieutenant. Four days later he was killed at the battle of Chantilly, Virginia. His first fight was at Roanoke Island, North Carolina, February 8, 1862. Subsequently he took part in the battles of Newbern, March 14, 1862, Camden Court House, April 19, 1862, second Bull Run, August 28, 29, 30, 1862 and Chantilly, September 1, 1862. The body of Lieutenant Bemis lies in an unknown grave notwithstanding much fruitless search for it. His service covers a period of one year and eight days, every day of which he was on duty and did his full duty. At the time of his death, he was expecting, and doubtless would have received it, if he had lived, a higher commission in one of the new companies then recruiting in his native State. He was brave, capable, patriotic and ambitious. No braver man ever carried a musket or wore a sword. This sketch has been outlined at the request of the compiler of these narratives, Erastus Jones, by the deceased friend and companion, Capt. William T. Harlow.
