Good Morning List members, I received the pension file of my relative Joseph H. Call who enlisted in Champaign County, IL in May of 1864 with the 135th Company A. He died of peritonitis while "in the line of duty" at a hospital in St. Louis, MO on August 25, 1864. I was wondering if any one could help me determine where he is buried? I don't think he is in the family plot at Mt. Hope Cemetery in Urbana. Also, how common was it for soldiers to die of diseases, rather than killed in action? Thanks in advance for any info., Robbie (Call) Bronder Reno, Nevada jbronder@prodigy.net

I would try Jefferson Barracks. Robbie Bronder wrote: > Good Morning List members, > > I received the pension file of my relative Joseph H.
