Charles is buried in what appears to be a veterans section of the cemetery. He has a military marker "C A Kirk 2nd" His date of death comes from information supplied by his widow Georgianna Tuthill Benjamin when requesting his pension for having served in the Civil War. His wife is buried in Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Mountainville. There is no record of his burial in the cemetery records and there is no death record on file with state records at Albany.
