Vincent Ingle served with the Union Army, Company D, 97th Illinois Infantry. He enlisted 12 August 1862 in Prairie City. His term was to be for three years. He was immediately sent to Vicksburg, MS where he caught the measles and died from the disease. For a short while he was interred in Vicksburg, but soon the Army removed all the soldiers' bodies and made their final resting place Young's Point in Madison Parish, Louisiana, just over the border from Vicksburg. Mary filed a widow's pension and it was granted. She never remarried, and continued to raise her family in Prairie City, Cumberland, IL. She died 11 Oct 1906 and was buried in Jewett Cemetery in Cumberland County, IL. I am Vincent and Mary's great-great-great-granddaughter.
( SUVCW Note: The information regarding moving Vincent from Vicksburg to Youngs Point would not be likely since Vicksburg is the National Cemetery and all bodies were moved there, so it is more like the reverse of this is true and he is buried at Vicksburg. He is one of many unknowns at Vicksburg National Cemetery)
Information regarding Vicksburg National Cemetery:
Established in 1866 by an act of Congress, Vicksburg National Cemetery has the largest number of Civil War interments of any national cemetery in the country. More than 17,000 troops are buried in Vicksburg National Cemetery, the largest Union cemetery in the nation. Of these burials, the identity of almost 13,000 soldiers and sailors are unknown. The cemetery also protects the final resting place of a significant number of United States Colored Troops that served with distinction in the Civil War. In addition to the Civil War soldiers, veterans of the Mexican War, the Spanish-American War, World Wars I and II, and the Korean conflict are buried here. The cemetery has been closed to new reservations since 1963.
So, his remains were probably removed to Vicksburg National Cemetery, and are part of the 13,000 remains moved there unidentified.
