Josselyn (January 14, 1842 - April 4, 1905) was a First Lieutenant who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions during the American Civil War at the Battle of Missionary Ridge. Simeon T. Josselyn was born on January 14, 1842 in Buffalo, New York. He enlisted in the Union Army on April 21, 1861 in Amboy, Illinois.[1] He was awarded the medal "for extraordinary heroism on 25 November 1863, while serving with Company C, 13th Illinois Infantry, in action at Missionary Ridge, Tennessee. While commanding his company, deployed as skirmishers, First Lieutenant Josselyn came upon a large body of the enemy, taking a number of them prisoner. Lieutenant Josselyn himself shot their Color Bearer, seized the colors and brought them back to his regiment."[2] The flag that Josselyn took was from the 18th Alabama infantry, and eventually was forwarded to Daniel Butterfield, then to the War Department, and finally to the State of Alabama.[3] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.mohm.org/simeon-josselyn.html|title=Simeon Josselyn|website=Charles H.
