My gggrandfather was in the 40th Illinois regiment. He was in the battle of Shiloh, 6/7th of April, and on to Corinth, Mississippi. There several of the men from North and South got sick from contaminated water. He died June 24, in the Regimental Hospital in Lafayette, Tennessee, of Typhoid Fever. I have not been able to find out where he is buried. Do you think they would have sent him home. I have contacted the Historical Society in Lafayette, and they knew of no place there he would have been buried. His Army records do not say. If he is buried in the cemetery where his family is buried, he doesn't have a marker. Any help would be appreciated. Neva in Illinois
