Was Killed at the battle of Gettysburg
One of his brothers (Alonzo or James) travelled to Gettysburg to retrieve the body. Placed on train to return home for proper burial, but body had not been embalmed, so odor required that it be removed from train and buried along tracks... relatives went back to recover corpse but could not locate it
