William Henry Dodd is the son of Charles Scott Dodd and Mary Templeton JONES Dodd.
Resident of Loaami. Date of Muster was 8/21/1862. Served in Co. I, 73rd Illinois Infantry. Died of combat wounds.
The Union dead were first buried in regimental plots, but these troops were moved to the short-lived Perryville National Cemetery. Finally, these soldiers were interred in Camp Nelson National Cemetery. Of the more than 1,000 Union soldiers initially buried at Perryville, only 300 of them had their identification intact by the time they got to Camp Nelson. By World War I, the U.S. Army adopted what we now call "dog tags" to help identify dead soldiers. Since these were not used in the Civil War, many of the troops killed at Perryville are unknown soldiers.
