Does anyone know anything at all about a William H. Ives, b. 8/10/1844, d. 8/10/1899. He enlisted as a private in the 18th Iowa Infantry 6/11/1862 and was discharged 2/19/1863. I know nothing more about him. All of the above information comes from his gravestone, in the Masonic Cemetery, Center Township, Cedar County, Iowa. The reason he interests me is probably obvious to all the regulars here. The reason he baffles me is that I have already checked NARA Civil War service records for Iowa, and found NOBODY named Ives.
