    Bowredden Amzi Miller had red hair, blue eyes, a light complexion and stood about 5' 6" tall when he joined the Union Army on January 2nd, 1864 to serve in the Civil War at the rank of Private. He was mustered in to the Illinois 28th Infantry Battalion, Company D, on 15 February 1864 in Natchez, Mississippi. He claimed on this date to be 22 years of age (which would make his birth year approximately 1842). Not long after enlisting, in May 1864, the entire company was given furlough, and his sister Polly remembered that Bowredden came back to visit the family in Illinois. The entire company reported back to Camp Butler Illinois on May 29th, and returned to Natchez Mississippi on the 8th of July.

    Bowredden's company reconnoitered to Homachita River, Mississippi in October 1864 under the command of Colonel Osborn, Second United States Colored Cavalry. The Unit then spent much of the final months of the war stationed in and around Louisiana, with several treacherous travels by ship, before participating in the fourteen day siege of Spanish Fort, Alabama.

    When his company was mustered out in Texas in July 1865, Bowredden re-enlisted for 3 years as a Private in Battery "M", 1st United States Artillery. Though he was returned to the original company in September, the War Department intervened and reassigned him to Battery "M" at Brownsville, Texas, on December 1, 1865.

    On December 28th, Battery "M" embarked on the Steamer "Tampico" for New York City, arriving on January 15th, 1866. Bowredden's company was stationed at Fort Hamilton, New York when he deserted from service on May 21st, 1866.

    Sometime after this, Bowredden lived with a woman named "Sarah" in Missouri. After the couple separated, Sarah apparently removed to the neighborhood of Schuyler County, Illinois, where Bowredden's mother lived. This person called herself "Sarah Miller," and asserted that she was Bowredden's wife, before moving on again after a couple of years. Bowredden later admitted to his mother that he had lived with Sarah for a time, but claimed he had not married her. It is not known if Sarah claimed any children from this relationship.

    When he married Pashie (Patience) Rieger (Klopfer) on the 4th of July 1873 in Sullivan County, Missouri, Bowredden stated that he had never been married before. The marriage license also reported a fictitious name: Benjamin A. Primrose.

    Pashie apparently learned of the correct surname by 1880, because when she and son (James) Patrick were enumerated without Bowredden on the 1880 census as boarders in small town in Vernon County, Missouri not far east of Fort Scott, Kansas, she gave the surname Miller.

    Pashie and Bowredden's children Patrick and Ollie were born in Missouri. Beulah was born in Arkansas, and many years later red-haired George August was born in Trinidad, Las Animas, Colorado. The 1900 census reports that Pashie had given birth to 7 children, but only 4 were then living. Ten years later, 8 childbirths were reported, but with only 4 living children, so apparently the 8th child also died young.

    Bowredden visited his sister Polly in southeast Iowa for four days sometime around 1896, and probably also visited his mother in Illinois at the same time, but did not bring Pashie or any of their children with him. Pashie and Polly maintained a written correspondence from time to time.

    While living in Trinidad, Colorado, Bowredden was publicly known as "Benjamin A. Miller," with that name appearing in city directories and on the 1900 census. Bowredden passed away on the 27th of May, 1901, and was buried in Trinidad. Pashie requested benefits on account of Bowredden's service in the Civil War. A headstone was placed, but the initial request for widow's benefits was denied due to Bowredden's post-war desertion.

    Benefits were apparently authorized at some point, however, because at her death, Pashie had been receiving a monthly widow's allowance.
