CONGRESS, 1st Session WILLIAM H NEEDHAM June 15, 1876 – Committed to a Committee of the Whole House and ordered to be printed. Mr Hurlbut, from the Committee on Military Affairs, submitted the following REPORT (To accompany bill H. R. 2093) The
Committee on Military Affairs, to whom was referred the
bill (H. R. 2093) for the relief of William H Needham, late second
lieutenant Twenty-second Iowa Infantry Volunteers, beg leave to report: That they have examined the same and find from the records and other evidence that Lieutenant Needham was commissioned and entered upon duty as second lieutenant of Company D, Twenty-second Iowa Volunteer Infantry, on the 5th day of June, 1863, having been then discharged to receive promotion, and served as such officer to the 11th of November, 1863, before he was mustered. That such failure to muster was no his fault. The committee, therefore, recommend the passage of the bill. |
