Lund joined the WI 15th Infantry, Company I. The men of the company called themselves the “Scandinavian Mountaineers” but were also known as the “Waupaca Company” because so many of them were living in that Wisconsin county when they enlisted. The army listed him as living in Stockholm, Pepin County, WI, age 27, and unmarried. He enlisted for three years on December 5, 1861, at Stockholm, and mustered at Madison, WI, on December 20, 1861, as a Private (Menig). Lund was promoted to Corporal (Korporal) on June 26, 1863. In November 1863, he was sick in Chattanooga, TN. He was then sick in Knoxville, TN, in January 1864, and sick in Bridgeport, AL, in May 1864. Lund was wounded in his head at Kenesaw Mountain, GA, on June 21, 1864. He was then sick in Chattanooga and mustered out with Company I at Chattanooga on February 10, 1865.
After the war, Lund returned to Stockholm, WI. He married Louisa in 1871, the same year she immigrated to the U.S. from Sweden. Together, they had at least five children, including Anna Lovisa (1871-1946), Hulda Maria (1873-1950), Levi (1876-1962), Felix (1879-1952), and Hilda C. (1881-1962). Lund was a farmer and died on August 10, 1905.
