Notes - Jasper enlisted on September 5, 1863, as a private in Company H, 11th Iowa Infantry Regiment. He was severely wounded on August 12, 1864, in Atlanta, Georgia, and was medically discharged on June 27, 1865. During his service, in February 1864, the regiment joined in the Meridian raid. Nearly all of the men having reenlisted as veterans, they were given furlough home in the early spring. On the return the regiment joined Sherman's army at Acworth, Georgia. It fought at Kennesaw mountain, took part in the operations at Nickajack Creek, and from there to Atlanta was constantly engaged in skirmishing. At Atlanta it was heavily engaged in July and it fought at Jonesboro and Lovejoy's Station, losing during the campaign 218 killed and wounded, one half of its available strength.
