According to the Illinois State Archives, he enlisted in Company A of the 125 Illinois Infantry (Col. Harmon's regiment). At the time, he was described as 5'9" with light hair and gray eyes. He joined on July 25, 1862 in Danville and is listed as being discharged on February 3, 1863 in Gallatin, Tenn. for a disability.
Because his stone pre-dates the founding of Springhill Cemetery, it is likely that Pvt. Douglas was originally interred at the Old Williams Graveyard, near the present-day Danville Public Library, and was reinterred at Springhill when that closed.
