tached service at Fort Grant, Arizona Territory, and present for duty on roll for
May and June 1886.
15 Dec. 1899 - Unknown to the Pension Bureau Joseph Cammel died on this date at
his home on Tijeras Rd., Albuquerque, New Mexico. Cause of death was can-
cer of the stomach.
Note: This information was on a letter written by Solomon Boller, dated 29 Dec.
1899 to the Pension Bureau
14 March 1900 - The Pension Department writes to the Army restating the dates
and places where Cammel was injured and treated and they request that the
Army forward this letter to the Surgeon who was in charge of the troops at San
Carlos in the summer of 1887 to Feb. 1888 asking if he has any knowledge of
the existence of the alleged injury. Also claimant stated he had been treated by
a surgeon-Davis.
20 March 1900 - The War Department replies to the Pension Department that the
two Surgeons who were on duty at San Carlos, Arizona Territory, are now out
of service. Surgeon Davis' last known address is Prescott, Arizona, and Sur-
geon Anderson's address is Santa Barbara, Calif. Also there are two Surgeons
who are still in the service who were at Fort Apache, Arizona Territory, in
1886-1887. These Surgeons, Evert and Weirick, are stationed at widely sepa-
rated posts. It is suggested that separate letters be written to them.
29 Aug. 1900 - The Pension Department sends two letters to the Army requesting
that they forward them to Surgeon Evert and Weirick asking them of the exist-
ence of the sprained wrist injury to Joseph Cammel.
4 Sept. 1900 - The War Department sent a letter to Surgeon Evert who had retired,
at his home address of 2603 Santa Clara Ave., Alameda, Calif. The Surgeon re-
plies that after researching his memory and notes that he had on Fort Apache,
he does not recall treating Pvt. Cammel.
26 Nov. 1900 - The War Department received a reply from Surgeon Weirick who
was stationed at Fort Gibbon, Alaska. He stated he has no personal recollec-
tion of this case. Full information should be obtainable from the Post Hospital
Records at Fort Apache, Arizona.
The story on Cammel ends at this point as there is no other documentation and
because of his death, no other action was taken.
Joseph Cammel served his country well, and we place his name on the Honor Roll
of the Buffalo Soldiers.80
