The Wolcott Post Memorial Plaque was viewed by Fred Turk on 6 July, 2001 at the Milwaukee County Historical Society Civil War exhibit. These names were picked off of it. The plaque took up a good portion of a wall. A couple of 26th names may have been missed because chairs were set in front of the plaque.
Also viewed at the exhibit was a painting of Camp Sigel done in 1861 by an American Indian artist. The horse-drawn streetcar tracks were not in place at that time. The irregular shape of the camp is shown. There were a lot of tents.

This information was obtained either from the original register book at the Woods National Cemetery or off the Cemetery Records On-line website by searching on “26th Wis” and similar terms. If a name was found in the book he may not be buried at Woods. Many bodies were shipped elsewhere from the Woods Soldiers Home after death. There are many discrepancies in the names between the 1865 roster and cemetery records- for example, Gottlieb Kraft is listed as Kraft Gottlieb and Lorenz Lacker is listed as Lorenz Lacker on the website. If a block number is listed then he is buried at Woods at that location. If not, he may not be buried there but he probably died and/or lived at Woods Home.
