He was assigned to Company E, 5th Regiment Cavalry, Mo State Militia (2nd organization) commanded by Captain Charles B. Maus. On the Muster Roll Cards for this Unit; On the 2nd card is written $115.00 is Werner''s pay due for his horse and equipment from Oct. 31 to Feb. 29, 1864. On card # 3 is written $90.00 is Werner''s pay for used risk of horse and equipment for 33 days. He lost one haversack by neglect at a cost of 67 cents.

A pension application was filed on April 21, 1875, Application # 203206, Certificate #782323.

C. form 3-464, dtd Septmeber 24, 1896). He was honorably discharge in April, 1865 at Rolla, MO. A large part of his pension records are sworn testimonies of Werner''s and others-relating to a stabbing incident in February, 1865 by a Frederick Wieland. The injuries received from this incident are the reason for Werner''s pension claim, (it appears that Werner never qualified for a pensio, as there was never any indication of an amount received, or a form # 3-1081 from the U.S. Pension Agency in Topeka, Kansas stating that his pension was dropped due to his death.)
An obituary appeared in the Jefferson City Daily Tribune on May 22, 1894 states that Wendell (shold be Werner) Kieselbach died Sunday Afternoon from chronic throat troubles. He had been in bad health for a long time and his death was anticipated.
