Died Corinth Mississippi
age 23∼It is my belief that Samuel is actually buried in the Pilotburg/Pilot Grove Cemetery in Washington County, IA. I recently found an article on newspapers.com from Muscatine, IA that discusses Samuel's body passing through town on its way home to be buried. The stone that's in the cemetery appears to mark his actual burial and is NOT a cenotaph.
