Killed in action June 17, 1877, during the White Bird Canyon battle of the Nez Percé War.
=
How Fort Lapwai soldiers came to rest in the Fort Walla Walla cemetery. (A long process that saw the soldiers' bodies buried four times.)
The first burial was in shallow battlefield graves, scraped out with bayonets nine days after the battle.
The second, in deeper battlefield graves, dug about four months later.
The third, was in the Fort Lapwai cemetery after the remains were moved from White Bird in 1880.
The fourth, was in the Fort Walla Walla cemetery, after the army closed Fort Lapwai.
This final re-interment took place in the winter of 1890. A 15-foot high shaft of Vermont Marble now marks the single grave.
