I'm on the Greene Co. mailing list and when your reply was gatewayed there, the e-mail address came through. According to the pension application, Augustus died the day after he was discharged. Witnesses stated that he was hospitalized for camp fever. His widow said cause of death was dropsy. I haven't been able to find out which hospital he was in. Application only stated that he died in hospital in Richmond. Check the 8th GA website http://home.earthlink.net/~larsrbl/8thGeorgiaInfantry.html. I submitted some information there on Augustus. You'll have to scroll down and click on the link for Co. K. I'll get in touch with you soon to sort out the family names. Thanks.
