My Great Uncle Price Worthing, youngest child and son of Richard Seth Worthing served in the Civil War as a musician. Since reading Cindy Freed's post on Life of a Company Musician or Bugler in the Civil War it gave me a better understanding of Price's service. I put Cindy's story here for all to read. Great read.

Price loved his country so much he enlisted in the War with his Uncle Thomas Worthing. Thomas died at Andersonville from scurvy which is really such a shame. Basically starvation and no Vitamin C.
How is Price Worthing related to Adolphus Ames? Price's sister-in-law,Nancy Ames Worthing was the granddaughter of Adolphus Ames. Nancy Ames Worthing wife of Charles Worthing. Charles Worthing is Price's brother.
