During the Civil War:
"Mustered in, 30 September 1862, First Lieutenant, Battery B(Indpendent); Captain 3 April 1865. Mustered out with Battery, (PennaVolunteers Vol. V. p 905). "
"While a Lieutenant he had command of the guard over Lincoln's bodywhen it lay in state in the Capitol, and until he delivered it to thetrain in command of General Grant. He was relieved at the train byGeneral Grant and received his personal thanks.
While in charge of the body, he said, each morning at five o'clock incame a little man. 'Everything all right, Lieutenant?' he would ask.It was General Grant.
At seven o'clock each morning, Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of Statecame in, likewise to see if all was right.
'For three days' Captain Nevin said, 'Grant carried the government onhis shoulders. Everything was confusion, and Grant appeared to be theone man who kept his head.'
On the night Lincoln was shot, Lieutenant Nevin and General Bell werepassing along Pennsylvania Avenue, when two horsemen dashed by. It wasWilkes Booth and the boy who helped him to escape. When Nevin returnedto his tent, he was summoned, with all the officers of the command, toheadquarters. It had been reported that Lincoln, Grant, Seward, andall the members of the Cabinet had been assassinated. Nevin wasordered to guard the road leading from Washington to Alexandria andallow no one to leave the city.
Captain Nevin received a personal letter from Mrs. Lincoln thankinghim for his services in guarding the President's body. (This letterwith those from President Grant were stolen from Captain Nevin by theEditor of the Boston Herald. Edwin C. Nevin). It has been said that hewas instrumental, probably more than anyone else, in inducing GeneralGrant to write his memoirs. (Phila. Bulletin. 28 March 1908)."
