David was under age when he enlisted and was assigned the rank of Musician which was often the case with underage men. Musicians often served as stretcher bearers, or assisted in hospitals and buried the dead.
David was part of the the small detachment of about 30 men assigned to defend the Union supply center at Murfreesboro, TN. They put up a valiant fight but were finally overcome upon the 3rd attack of Confederate troops. The majority of the 3rd regiment wanted to go to the aid of their comrades; instead their commander, Col Lester, decided to surrender the reigment. This caused great shame among the men. Lester was eventually dismissed from the service.
The 3rd Minnesota suffered terrible sickness while stationed in a swampy area at Pine Bluff, Arkansas. There were 279 men that died from disease; David among them. He entered the Post Hospital at Pine Bluff on 14 Oct 1864 and died from chronic diarrrhea, perhaps from dysentery or "swamp fever", on 20 Oct 1864 at the age of 20.
Six men of this family served in Minnesota units during the Civil War - PVT (Jean) George Panchot, Co F, 2nd Minn Cav (father/step-father to the following men), PVT Charles P. Jeannin, Co G & I, 5th Minn Inf, PVT George F Panchot, Co H 1st Minn Inf (killed in action, Antietam, MD), CORP Peter J Panchot, Co F 3rd Minn Inf, PVT David Panchot, Co F 3rd Minn Inf (died of disease, Little Rock, AR), PVT Augustus F Panchot, Co C Hatch's Independent Minn Cav.
Most soldiers who died were buried in battlefield graves. On April 9, 1868 Little Rock was designated a national cemetery with the stated purpose to concentrate remains of Union dead who had been buried throughout Arkansas. In 1868 1,482 remains were removed from area battlefield graves and were reinterred here. -- Little Rock National Cemetery.
Cemetery staff can find no record of David being buried here. He could possibly be buried as an unknown soldier. Until such time as David's burial location is determined, David Panchot's memorial will remain attached to the Little Rock National Cemetery.
