Edward H. Twining was promoted from private to Captain of Company K in September, 1862, and served until October, 1864, when he resigned to accept commission as Captain A. D. C. on the Staff of Major General J. J. Reynolds. While in the ranks, Twining was noted for his soldierly bearing and strict observance of all duties and formalities required of a soldier. He was a man of superior education, having graduated at Wabash College in 1852, and was afterward a professor in the Sheffield Scientific School at Yale.

In 1866 he was appointed to a professorship in Washington and Jefferson College, Pa., and later was connected with the Universities of Minnesota and Missouri. In 1882 he entered the service of the Government as Engineer under the Mississippi River Commission, which position he still holds. It goes with out saying that Capt. Twining reflected great honor on our regiment, both during and since the war. His ad dress is 2739 Locust street, St. Louis, Mo.
