Jacob Koogle
Medal of Honor
Capt Co G
7 MD INF
December 5, 1841 - March 16, 1915
I was able to find a front page obituary for Jacob Koogle. He served with Seventh Maryland Infantry Regiment, Company G during the Civil War. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for capturing the Confederate flag at the Battle of Five Forks, Dinwiddie County, Virginia on 1 April 1865 (last major battle of the Petersburg Campaign). After the Civil War he organized a local militia group, worked with his church (then Myersville Lutheran Church) and was in banking.
Here is the obituary:
Thank you for your service Jacob Koogle
