edit: From the NYS Adj.-Gen.'s report on the 56th NYSV: "DEYO, HENRY — Age, 43 years. Enlisted at Crawford, to serve one year, and mustered in as private, Co. E , August 29, 1864; mustered out, July 5, 1865, at Charleston, S. C." His pension application mentions service in the U. S. Navy as a Landsman aboard the USS North Carolina, USS Ohio and USS United States. The gravestone also seems to read that he was a veteran of the Mexican-American War.

"HENRY DEYO 17 FEB 1905
The funeral of Henry Deyo took place in Scotchtown, last Tuesday, where he has lived many years, although he is well known among us, having lived in Circleville and worked at his trade for some years. He was born on "Brimston Hill" in a house (now torn down) owned by the late H. Denton Mills, where his father lived many years, When quite young, he went to live with Mr. Mills and there found a home until, he went to learn the shoemaker's trade. After learning his trade he went on a sea voyage and was gone three years, returning to his old home and friends. Later he worked some years for the late N.J. Mills. He never lived many miles from his birthplace, so he is well known as a good, moral man. He married Ellen, a sister of W. T. Galloway, who survives him with two children. He served a time in the Civil War, and was memeber of the G.A.R., who attended the funeral. He was 84 years old."
