I had eight family members serving for NC in the War. One known member fought at Gettysburg, although it is possible most were there. Of note is my great-great grandfather Augustus Cristopj “Gus” Vogler who was a private in the NC 57th Infantry Co. D from Winston-Salem NC. He fought and was captured on July 2 probably at Culp’s Hill or Cemetary Hill. He may have been wounded but survived the wound and was interred at Point Lookout MD POW facility until his death in early March 1865 a few short weeks before the end of hostilities.

I thought I recognized the Vogler name. Seem to recall a chain of funeral homes in W-S with that name when I lived there 1981-1995.
