A find a grave member reported being unable to locate this grave:
"Per review by a National Park Ranger at the Vistor's Center, they have no record of this person being buried at the cemetery nor any record showing that he might have died on the battlefield & was buried in an unmarked grave. They do have 5 CSA burial trenches on the battlefield but the office has no records for these."
