Justin Dimick was born August 13, 1800 in Connecticut.  He graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1819 and saw action during the Mexican War. When the Civil War began he was the Lieutenant Colonel of the 2nd United States Artillery. Deemed too old for field service, he was appointed commander of the Fort Warren Military Prison, located in Boston Harbor, Massachusetts. He was subsequently promoted to Colonel of the 1st United States Artillery before his retirement. On March 13, 1865 he was brevetted Brigadier General, US Regular Army for "long, gallant and faithful services to his country.” His son, Lieutenant Justin E. Dimick, was killed in action at the Battle of Chancellorsville.  [ad]
