"In the stillness of night, when the stars mildly shine,
My heart fondly holds, a communion with Thine;
For I feel thou art near, and where'er I may be,
That the Spirit of Love keeps watch over me."

--From the 1852 song Thou Art Gone From My Gaze
Words and music by George Linley

Below are links to a slowly expanding collection of brief biographies of men who served between 1862 and 1865 in the 80th Indiana during the American Civil War.  Each profile focuses on that man's military service in the 80th.  When available, a photograph and/or basic genealogical information is included.  Additional profiles will be created by the 80th Webmaster as time, interest, and information permits.

If you have military service or pension records, pre- or post-war genealogical data, and/or a photograph of a man who served in the 80th, and you would like to have a profile of him posted on the 80th website, then please contact Scott Meeker at s.c.meeker@80thindiana.net or 7307 Vista Court, Middleton, WI 53562.  All persons who provide information and/or a photo (with written permission to use it on this website) will be credited by name on the list of Modern 80th Volunteers as well as on the profile itself.  

Please help keep the memory of these brave men and their deeds alive.
