21st Wisconsin Volunteer InfantryCompany I
was raised in Neenah by Simeon B. Nelson of Menasha and Abner B. Smith of Neenah in August of 1862. A store owned by William Seatoft (destroyed by fire in 1877) was used as a recruiting office. The election of officers took place in a store operated by W. P. Peckham, which a short time before had been vacated by Mills & Williams.Unlike the other companies, Company I elected no second lieutenant. It was the plan of Gov. Lewis to take second lieutenants from the old companies then in the field and place them in the new companies. Edmund Delaney was commissioned as second lieutenant of Company I, but resigned the next spring. While the company was recruited, the men boarded at the Vermont House kept by L. Stowe. They left Neenah for Camp Bragg on September 1, 1862.

Lionel married Elenor. (Elenor was born in 1824 in VT and died in 1880-1900 in Wisconsin.)
