==Life==
Hiram and his brother Henry were two of eleven children of [[Joseph Wood]] and his wife [[Anna Thorne]].<ref name="Town and City Registers"/><ref name="Carnival"/><ref name="Bernehistory"/><ref name="1850Census"/><ref name="1855Census"/> Hiram's father had various occupations including shoemaker, Methodist Preacher and farmer, but in general the family was quite poor and they moved frequently.<ref name="USCensus">US Censuses</ref> Hiram was born in Berne in about 1840, while his brother Henry was born in 1846 in Rensselaerville. By 1850 their family was living in Broome, Schoharie county, NY.<ref name="Town and City Registers"/><ref name="1850Census"/> In 1855 the frame house that they lived in Berne, Albany county, NY was only valued at $75.<ref name="1855Census"/> Hiram's family continued to live in Berne at least up until his brother Henry's enlistment in the Civil War in February of 1864.<ref name="Carnival"/>

==Military Service==
Hiram enlisted on 2 Aug 1862 in Westerlo.<ref name="Carnival"/> He served in Company K of the 7th Heavy Artillery Regiment, which until the spring of 1864 had a relatively comfortable assignment of protecting the nation's capital Washington, DC. In the spring of 1864 they were sent into battle where within the next few weeks they saw some of the heaviest fighting of the entire war. Hiram and his younger brother Henry apparently fought together as they were both captured on 16 Jun 1864 at Petersburg, Virginia. They then were both sent to Andersonville prison.<ref name="CWPOW">Civil War Prisoners of War Records, www.ancestry.com</ref> From there the story gets a bit confusing, but Andersonville prison records show that Hiram was part of a prisoner exchange on April 1, 1865.<ref name="Andersonville"/> Hiram then definitely died as a result of his physical health from conditions at Andersonville prison, but the day of that death is in question.

==Death==
Hiram B. Wood died on April 19, 1865 in Jacksonville, Florida<ref name="Civil War Pension Records"> Civil War Pension Records @ Fold3.com</ref> while a prisoner of war.<ref name="Carnival"/> Note: Data in Robert Keating's book on Hiram Wood is conflicting as he also says that Hiram died July 5, 1865 and was "the last man in the Regiment to die as a direct casulty of the Civil War."<ref name="Carnival"/>

*Page 292
"The death of Private Hiram Wood was unusual. The records show that he was captured on June 23 near Petersburg, but they fail to indicate where he was held. It is almost certain that he was interned first at Andersonville, and then probably transferred to other camps in the South during the early months of 1865. There is also no information on when or where he was released, nor any explanation of why he was kept so long. But he is reported to have died from disease aboard the transport Western Metropolis on July 5, 1865, earning the distinction of becomeing the last man in the Regiment to die as a direct casulaty of the Civil War."
