Michael Bresett, 89 year-old Civil war veteran, died at 12:30 Monday at the home of his son, James Bresett, of 171 Rowley street. Mr. Bresett had been in poor health for over a year.
Mr. Bresett was born in DeKalb, December 12, 1842, a son of Joseph and Emma Martin Bresett. On August 11, 1862, he enlisted as a private in Company C of the 106th regiment of the New York Infantry Volunteers, under the command of Captain Peter Robertson. He took an active part in the war, being engaged in the battle of Missionary Ridge, Little and Big Bull Run and the Battle of the Wilderness. In this latter engagement he fought for seven days, and on the last day he was wounded in the hip. He was honorably discharged on September 24, 1864, from the Campbell hospital. A short while afterward he attempted to re-enlist but his injury made him ineligible for further service. Mr. Bresett leaves only one surviving member of this post, Gus Cooper of Morristown.
Mr. Bresett is survived by a son, James, at whose home he died, and a daughter, Mrs. John Barnart, of Pierpont. There are also 25 grandchildren and 38 great-grandchildren
