Notes

Known as Albert Shultz or C. Albert Shultz he was a Civil War veteran with the 2nd Michigan Infantry, spent about 10 months as a Prisoner of War in Petersburg, Virginia and died shortly after being discharged from the service and returning home. This information is based on the following evidence:
Going to the website <http://www.suvcwdb.org/home/search.php?action=search> , (which is the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War which is the successor organization to the GAR Civil War veterans organization) and searching for Albert Shultz; I come up with an Albert Shultz, born 1840, Company F, 2nd Michigan Infantry, enlisted or reenlisted on 31 Dec 1863, promoted to Corporeal on 25 May 1864, Prisoner of War 30 Jul 1864 in Petersburg, Virginia, returned 18 May 1865 and discharged 28 July 1865. There is also an abbreviation DisFD which has to do with a disability discharge.

An on-line listing of the Watrousville Cemetery at <http://www.interment.net/data/us/mi/tuscola/watrous/index.htm>
shows:
Schultz, C A, Co A F 2nd MI Inf
Schultz, Hannah, d. 10 Dec 1865, 50y 1m 5d
Schultz, J K, d. 21 Aug 1853, 41y 11m 21d

From the probate files we know that the child known as Albert Shultz (also known as C. Albert Shultz or Charles Albert Shultz) died before 1866. As he was alive in the 1860 census, that gives us a 6 year window for his date of death.
His enlistment records shows that in Dec 1863 he was 20 years 10 months old, (although census records showed him to be 4-5 years older) a resident of Watrousville and born in Columbia County, Pennsylvania. He signed his name Albert Shults.

An online listing of Michigan Civil War Rosters (<http://www.michiganinthewar.org/infantry/2compf.htm>) lists Albert Shultz age 21 of Genesee County, Michigan in Company F, 2nd Michigan Infantry.

The ancestry.com civil war database lists Albert Shultz of Genesee County enlisted in Company F, 2nd Michigan Infantry on 24 May 1861 at Fort Wayne, Michigan. He was 21. He received a disability discharge on 28 Jul 1865.

His war Department record reads:

“Captured at Petersburg, Va July 30, 1864, paroled at James River, Va Feb 22, 1865, reported at Camp Parole, Md., date not given, sent to Camp Chase, Ohio, Feb 26, 1865, reported there March 4, 1865 and sent to Columbus, Ohio, April 25, 1865. He rejoined Co. May 25, 1865. Was admitted to Carver General Hospital Washington D.C. June 22, 1865, from regimental hospital with Chronic Pneumonia and was transferred July 11, 1865. Entered Stanton General Hospital Washington D.C. July 17, 1865 with congestion of the lungs, was discharged from service at this hospital July 28, 1865, on Surgeons Certificate of disability.”

Army of the United States Certificate of Disability for Discharge states that Albert Shultz was incapable of performing the duties of a soldier because of: “Phthisis Pulmonalis acquired since enlistment by exposure while a prisoner at Danville, Virginia from July 1864 to February 1865-Disability total. Signed July 28, 1865 at Stanton General Hospital Washington, D.C.

On 28 May 1866 his name is mentioned in the “estate of C.A. Shultz” in Tuscola County Probate records, so he died sometime before that.

This brings up some questions. Did he stay hospitalized after discharge or was he simply sent home? Did he die at home? I would think that likely he died of Chronic Pneumonia brought on by the conditions at the POW camp. So although he did not die as a prisoner of war, he most likely died as a result of being a prisoner of war.
