Lewis J. Ingalls (June 18, 1837-December 31, 1913) was a recipient of the Medal of Honor. He was awarded the Medal of Honor when "A railroad train guarded by about 60 men on flat cars having been sidetracked by a misplaced switch into an ambuscade of guerrillas who were rapidly shooting down the unprotected guards, this soldier, under a severe fire in which he was wounded, ran to another switch and, opening it, enabled the train and the surviving guards to escape."
