The Colonels of Spring Grove - William K. Bosley

Bosley was born on January 1st, 1825, in Baltimore, Maryland.  He would pass away on December 1st, 1866 in Cincinnati.  He was a wall paper merchant and a postal clerk in his civilian career.  Bosley was the colonel of the 6th Ohio Infantry Regiment (three months), and then colonel of the 6th Ohio Infantry (three years), the latter at Camp Dennison.  He was discharged for disability on August 19th, 1862 due to a chronic lung disease.  Bosley led the 6th at Cheat Mountain.

Bosley is buried in Section 23, Lot 72, in an unmarked grave, a perfect opportunity for a group such as the Sons of Union Veterans to have a marker installed.
