Thanks for sending the pic. I think it says "CO. F"

So, altogether it says:

Henry Rogers
Co. F.
44 Wis. Inf.

The shield behind it is indicative of the US. (i.e. the Union) -- same as we
used to use for US highways, and a billion police jurisdictions.

Here's a link to a discussion of such markers:

and this:

http://www.militaryhistoryinstone.org/history.php 

And here is further information on that:

http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/roster/searchresults.asp?lastName=rogers&fir
stName=henry 

And, even more important:

http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/roster/results.asp?image_id=2741 

Which is the roster of Co. F of the 44th:

Rogers, Henry. Residence, St. Lawrence, date Oct 15, '64, Corp.; M. O. June
8, '65.
