A305 Pape, Erich (1821-1881).
Papers, 1862-1908. 6 items
Erich Pape was born in Germany in 1821 and came to the United States in 1844, settling in Bollinger County,
Mo. He served as sergeant of Company B, Fremont Rangers, from August to December 1861. He then enlisted in
Company A, 12th M.S.M. Cavalry, which was later consolidated and became Company K, 3rd M.S.M. Cavalry. He
rose to the rank of lieutenant. After the war he returned to Bollinger County, where he died April 23, 1881.
Collection contains quartermaster’s account book of Lieutenant Erich Pape, Company K, 3rd M.S.M. Cavalry
(new), which includes accounts of military equipment and clothing for members of Company K; diary entries for
Company K for the month of June (year not provided); and brief entries regarding the operations of the 12th M.S.M.
Cavalry in southeast Missouri in September 1862. Collection also includes notebook containing rosters of Captain John R. Cochran’s Company C., E.M.M., Bollinger County; roster of Captain Cochran’s company, Missouri
Volunteer Militia, Bollinger County (1865); roster of Company K, 5th M.S.M. Cavalry (new); and affidavits for
invalid pension claims. Also includes certified copy of discharge certificate of Erich Pape, dated July 19, 1875; and pension certificate of his wife, dated March 6, 1890

Could Pape have been the funnel through 12th and then 3rd MSM for supplies to Cochran? Not sure why he would have rosters.
