Barber initially in the 14th VT Infantry and later in the 1st Batty Heavy Artillery and 1st and 2nd Batty Light Artillery. Lots of electronic records for Barber to include copy of his diary from 1865 service. Appears from records he was assigned to USA General Hospital, Frederick, MD from June 29, 1863 to muster out of the 14th in August; likely involved in caring for the Gettysburg wounded.  The 14th Vt took part in the repulse of Pickett's Division at Gettysburg.
