Biographical History

Hugh Gaston was born 10 February 1830 to James and Margaret Gaston, three miles south of Newark, Indiana. He married Catharine Steel and they had nine children. He was a farmer and resident of Solsberry, in Greene County, Indiana. In August 1862 Gaston enlisted in the 97th Indiana Infantry as a corporal. He was mustered into Company A on 20 August in Terre Haute. They left the state in late September. Gaston's regiment was attached to Sherman's army and participated in military engagements until the end of the war when he was mustered out on 9 June 1865 in Washington D.C. Gaston returned to farming after the war, and died 8 November 1913 in Newark at his daughter Lillie's home.
