Military Service: Co. E 12th Regt. Pa Cav.
Joseph Greager served in the 12th Pennsylvania Cavalry from 20 March 1864 through 20 July 1865. He enrolled and was mustered into service at Harrisburg on 20 March 1864 and was discharged at the end of service on 20 July 1865. At the time of his enrollment, he said he was 18 years old, but his stone says he was born in 1849, which would have made him only 15. Two widows applied for his pension, the first, Clara Greager, applied on 21 December 1889 (she received a widow's pension), and the second, Emma C. Greager, who applied on 17 January 1907 (she was denied). One of the pension application files can be found with the records of Daniel Toy who served in the 101st Pennsylvania Infantry, Company A.
