O'Dell (1844 - 1926) Is buried in Sitka National Cemetery in Alaska along with his wife Matilda (Crum) O'Dell (1851 - 1938). Pvt O'Dell joined CO G., 78TH ILL INF along with his brother Thomas G. in Adams Co. enlisted in 1862 and mustered out in 1865. Risdon's father (James) and his mother (Ann) were from North Carolina and had moved to Indiana where Risdon was born. It shows that Risdon and Matilda lived in Forrest, Livingston Co., Ill in the 1880 census. In the 1910 Census, it shows they lived in Skagway Alaska. If there are any living descendents to Risdon M O'Dell or if anyone knows of any information about Risdon and Matilda, please contact me. Thank you.
