The 25th Regiment was formed in Worcester. There were quite a few of Worcester's Irish in the regiment, especially in Company E., under Capt. Thomas O'Neil.
In the 19th century Richard O'Flynn created a list of all Union soldiers buried in St. John's Cemetery, I will retrieve my copy (it is on loan to fellow researchers) and see if Falvey is there. Was he listed in the Worc. directory in 1866, if so he may have made it home from the war, but not necessarily. The directories tend to be a year out dated. There is other info mixed in with my papers (some also out on loan) that will give us more on this person. john
