He was killed while in the Union army, but his stone is very hard to make out. G.A.R. post #46, De Soto is named in his honor. He died in 1864? (killed in battle) His stone reads, A soldier for the Union. Killed by or in 1861? engagement? the rest is gone. There is a date that looks like June or July. Anyone have the information about what this stone once said? Desoto Joe/The Record Man
