BAR

     David B. Fluharty, a recruit, age 21, mustered in April 8, 1864. He served with another David Fluharty and after seeing the latter's pension file, it seems possible that a few pages of their records may have been blended together. However, it appears that both men were wounded and both were honorably discharged. David B. gave a declaration in support of the other David Fluharty's Pension application.
