At the age of 19, Haverhill, NH native Charles F. Noyes enlisted as a private in May 1861 and was mustered into Co. G, 2nd New Hampshire Infantry the following month. Under the leadership of Gilman Marston, the 2nd NH fought from First Bull Run through the occupation of Richmond approximately four years later.

He survived his wounds and remained with the 2nd NH through June 6, 1864, when he was discharged at Portsmouth Grove, RI. He spent his remaining years in New Hampshire, passing away in Whitefield in 1915.
