Died of smallpox at Arsenal Island, St Louis MO

Reburied in Jefferson Barracks in 1876

"In 1876, 470 unknown Union remains were transferred from Arsenal Island in Illinois, the U.S. Army's contagious disease hospital located on an island in the Mississippi River, known during the war as "Smallpox Island." Flooding washed away the cemetery's wooden markers, making identification of the remains impossible when they were reinterred." National Park Service, www.nps.gov
