Did you get his military service record from the National Archives? If a dependent applied for one, his pension file would also probably list the hospital where he died. -----Original Message----- From: Gerard J.

I know that he was evacuated to a hospital in Washington, D.C. where he died on 13 May 1864. Does anyone know where I could obtain information on the Hospital, Death Certificate, etc.? Any record would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Gerard J. Nolan Lottsburg, Va. 22511 USA
