I often include obit links when doing my research, for sometimes people have family members listed within, and have gotten answers. One thing I've found; you never know where your next flash of info will appear!

While this one won't give you any info on the 145th , it is an interesting article about a man who was. It is known as the Easter Massacre in Washington State.

For further information, please see my research suggestions on my forum:

Two of the BEST sources are the Army Corps of Engineers, Office of History, and NARA in Maryland.

I hope this got you off to a good start. Let me know what transpires, and if I can offer more assistance.

Warmly,
Marion
