Honoring forgotten Civil War veteran Adam Goelz ...

Adam Goelz, a first cousin, 3-times removed, was a Hessian emigrant in 1852 at age 6, and a Civil War enlistee at 17 (with his father's permission) in Aug. 1862. On 1 July 1863 he was horribly wounded at Gettysburg, the first day of that famous battle: shot in the face and shoulder, and hospitalized in Philadelphia. He was returned home to Milwaukee, and died on 22 Aug. 1865. Holy Trinity Catholic Church shows his burial in the parish register, but their cemetery records were destroyed by fire in 1909! Adam's grave is lost to history, and to being recorded by veteran's groups. There might be a stone -  but I doubt it - and a painstaking cemetery walk is necessary, poking away at worn, half-buried markers. Another veteran of the 26th Volunteers, Hubert Mondlock Sr., was buried at Holy Trinity Cem. in 1870 and he is also not a recognized veteran since his grave doesn't exist! He's related to Adam by the marriage of his son Hubert Jr. to Adam's cousin Caroline Goelz.
