LOSS OF THE SULTANA - REMINISCENCES OF SURVIVORS
George BEMENT
I WAS born in Mason, Cass county, Mich., November 6, 1841, and enlisted in the service of the United States at Adamsville, Mich., August 3, 1862, in Company F, 25th Regiment Michigan Volunteers, and was captured at Cedar Bluffs, on the Coosa river, Ala. October 10th. I was confined first at Selma, and afterwards at Castle Morgan, Cahaba, Ala. As to my experience on board the "Sultana," about sll I can say is that I got very wet and quite cold. I reached shore somehow all right.
My present occupation is farming, and my post-office address is Adamsville, Mich.
