Civil War: Company I and Company D (New), 3rd California Infantry
Willard Kittredge accepted his commission at Mokelumne Hill, California, October 2 and was mustered in as first lieutenant, Company I, 3rd California Infantry, October 3, 1861. He was promoted captain of his company at Fort Bridger, Wyoming Territory, July 27 and mustered in as such August 22, 1864. Captain Kittredge was transferred to Company D, by consolidation of the regiment and was mustered out December 5, 1866, his services no longer required. During his service his surname was often spelled Kittridge (sic) which may explain the spelling of his surname on his Government headstone.
Captain William W. Kittredge
His Burial Yesterday by the Grand Army. The remains of Captain Willard Kittredge were laid to rest yesterday afternoon in Evergreen Cemetery, under the auspices of Stanton Post, GAR. He deceased was an ex-soldier. He was born in West Eden, Hancock County, Maine, November 12, 1828, and came to California in 1851, and for ten years was engaged in mining and other industrial pursuits. In 1861 he enlisted in the army, and was Captain of Company I, Third California Infantry, stationed at Salt Lake. He participated in the Indian wars of Utah and won military honors in the fierce Battle of Bear Valley. He was afterward made Provost Marshall of Salt Lake City, which office he held with fidelity for two years, and resigned in 1866. He lived in East Los Angeles for a while, and afterwards in San Fernando. He attended the Grand Army jubilee in San Francisco, where he became ill, and died last Friday [August 27] in Oakland at the residence of R. L. Eames at 554 Thirty-fifth street. His remains were brought to Los Angeles yesterday afternoon, and interred, as above mentioned. He was a brother-in-law of Julius Lyons, of this city, and must not be confused with another man of the same name and title, Capt. W. T. Kittredge, of Boyle Heights, who is alive and well at the present writing.
