Corporal, Company D, 8th Ohio Infantry
He was killed by artillery fire between the armies the day before the Battle of Antietam.
When buried in 1867, he was mistakenly given a headstone listing him as a Connecticut soldier.
The headstone was corrected to "OHIO" in 2024 but he's still buried in the Connecticut section.
