Additional Details
The information, below, is provided by descendant of Philip Gutheil, David A. Head.
There is a discrepancy between Phillip's headstone, which lists his birthyear as 1830, and his military records which list 1833 as his birthyear.
He died on April (May?) 12, 1907 in Buffalo, New York () at the home of one of his daughters, Mary (Mame) Huxley.
He was discharged (from the military) on August 11, 1863 at Vicksburg, Mississippi. We have a partial copy of his original Discharge Certificate.
His name was spelled GOODILE
, which was common at the time when clerks spelled a name the way it sounded. We have obtained his military records from the National Archives (which) give his name as GOODILE
and GOODHILE
.
The records also indicate that he was drafted, rather than being a volunteer.
He entered the Army from either Holmes or Wayne County, Ohio.
We do not know when or how he emigrated to the United States. He indicated to family that he was born in Prussia, which was soon to become a part of Germany.
The town name Ram Krair (Germany) is listed on his military records. We have not been able to verify a town, or region of that name.
