Caleb served in the Civil War, I don't have much if his history recorded, but I do know he was mustered out in Texas.
He entered the army September 23, 1861, was a member of 34th Indiana Infantry and served four years and six months. He was fortunate to receive only one slight wound. His regiment fought the last battle of the Civil War.
I never knew my Grandfather, he passed away seven years before I was born.
He married Lucy Bradford, my Grandmother, and they had five children, one of which, Ralph Dean Dooley, was my Father, and served in the First World War.
Ralph Dean Dooley, my Father, enlisted April 12, 1917, in the 150th Field Artillery, Rainbow Division. He arrived in France November 1, 1917, and saw active service from February 11, 1918, until the end of the war. He took part in the battles of Champagne, Chateau-Thierry, Mt. Faucon, Arragon, and St. Mihil.
