  The Late Charles H. Head.
  Charles H. Head, who died in this city Monday, enlisted to the credit of Worcester, July 12, 1861, and was mustered into the services as a member of Co. D, 15th regiment of Massachusetts Volunteers.
  He was with his company and regiment at Balls Bluff, October 21, 1861.
  While many of his comrades were captured and taken to rebel prison, he succeeded in swimming the Potomac river.
  At the battle o Antietam, Md., Sep. 17, 1862, he was wounded, and the regimental roll reports him "missing since Sept. 17, 1862."
  The facts were that in the confusion of the engagement and subsequent events, he was sent north, and transferred from hospital to hospital until he was able to go out on a sick leave or furlough.
  Head then visited friends, where he was cared for, but was physically unable to report in person to the hospital; in this condition he remained until the close of the war.
  He never recovered from his disability, and in a few years he applied to the pension bureau for an invalid pension.
  One of the first obstacles in his pathway was a report that he was a deserter, had never been discharged, and consequently not entitled to pension.
  He then set about to clear up his record.
  With the aid of friends in this city, affidavits covering the whole period, showing conclusively that he was not a deserter, or even absent without leave, were obtained.
  With these and the influence of friends in congress, and after years of patient waiting, an order was issued by the secretary of war granting him an "honorable discharge," which he subsequently received, also a pension.
  During the past two years he has been a constant sufferer and unable to be about the home but little, and for a long time has required the almost constant aid of an attendant.
  He was 44 years and 4 months old....He was a member of the 15th Regiment Association. Although not a member of the Grand Army, he has been kindly remembered by Post 10 of this city.
  He leaves a wife and theee children, who have the best wishes of all in this hour of their trial.
• He was buried in Apr 1885 at Hope Cemetery, Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts, Sec. 44/45.
• On 7 May 1885 Mary J. Prior received a pension to surviving family member in Massachusetts based on Charles's service; received certificate number 278740.
• Mary, his wife, outlived Charles and died on 1 Feb 1897 at Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts, of spinal meningitis at age 39.
• On 10 Jun 1903 Charles and Mary's son, Charles Sylvanus Head married Cora Belle Seaver at Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts, in a first marriage for both.
