  Notes	At the time of his enlistment in the Civil War George Ragens (who may have also been known as Philip Altemus), was living in Chambersburg and worked as a chimney sweep. George Enlisted on 22 Apr 1863 with Company I of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry. On the 18 Jul he was wounded at Fort Wagner. but he was still able to muster out with the rest of his Regiment on 20 Aug 1865 at Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. By the time he had settled in Harrisburg, George Ragens, was known as George Barnes. In 1879 or 1880, George married Margaret Elizabeth Sanders. By 10 Jun 1880 George and Margaret were living at 1075 Eleven and One Half Street in Harrisburg with their daughter Maggie Barnes. Later that same year, on 11 Sep 1880 he filed for an invalid pension. Margaret died before George, in 1916, and I have not found his death certificate, or an obituary. George is part of the African American Civil War Memorial, Plaque Number E-155. His name is displayed as George Ragens.
