Excerpt: Like so many soldiers, his name is incorrectly entered in his enlistment documents. Timothy "Conner" is described in his enlistment papers as 22 years old, 5'9" tall, with light hair, blue eyes, and a fair complexion. He reported his residence as Chicago and his occupation as a laborer. ... During fighting at the first battle of Deep Bottom, Virginia on July 28, 1864, Private O'Connor captured the regimental colors of the 18th North Carolina Infantry. He was subsequently awarded the Medal of Honor in General Orders dated January 5, 1865. His citation reads "for extraordinary heroism on 28 July 1864, while serving with Company E, 1st U.S. Cavalry, in action at Malvern, Virginia, for capture of flag of the 18th North Carolina Infantry (Confederate States of America)."
