JEDEDIAH WILLY HIGGINS 
Company I New York Volunteers ( 173 ) Infantry.. 
-An excerpt from the link above-
In 1863 on Dec 17th Willie enrolled for the Civil War under the pseudonym of John Hartford. He gave his age as 22, when it was in fact 18. He was enrolled in company I New York Volunteers ( 173 ) Infantry. 

He gave a false name because he was under age and knew if his father had tracked him down he would prevent him from going to the war. He kept the initials J H  From March until August 1864 he was in St. Louis General Hospital at New Orleans probably due to the atrocious conditions that the troops had to put up with.

The Washington Post, (Washington, D.C.) June 11 1914
-G.A.R. FINDS RIP VAN WINKLE-
-Veteran who did not know there was a Grand Army-
A new member was admitted last night to Kit Carson Post # 2,Dept of the Potomac G.A.R., who, though a veteran of the civil war, did not know until a week ago that such an organization as the Grand Army was in existence. He is Jedidiah W. Higgins, who immediately after the close of the great struggle, went to New Zealand, as has for ever since worked for the cause of the Salvation Army there. Coming to this country on a 6 months visit wondered if all his comrades of '61 were dead. Inquires elicited the fact that the ones still alive were probably at the meetings of the G.A.R.
"What is the G.A.R." asked Mr. Higgins
A great body of veterans being explained to him, he made an application to become a member of Kit Carson post.
Mr. Higgins fought in the 173rd Regiment Volunteer New York Infantry.

THE IRON HEARTED REGIMENT 
115th Regiment, New York Infantry
Lawrence Higgins was born in Waterford, Saratoga Co., and enlisted from the same town. He was a cooper by trade, and 18 years of age. While the regiment was encamped on the fair ground at Chicago, Ill., he was taken with the typhoid fever and lay in one of those miserable horse-stalls, until all hopes of his recovery were vain. Four of his comrades then carried him to a hospital in Camp Douglas, already so crowded that it was difficult to find room to lay down the new sufferer. He was past human aid and soon died. His body was enclosed in a neat mahogany coffin and forwarded to his parents in Waterford.
