Surnames: BIRD Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0VB.2ACI/7033 Message Board Post: My great-granduncle, Charles BIRD, died 11 December 1864 in Salisbury Prison. He was in Co. C, 2nd PA Heavy Artillery. I have a newspaper clipping from his hometown paper where a friend of his says he was with him when he died. Is there any place where I can obtain an official record of his death and find where he was buried? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have copies of the prison roster from Rock Island Civil War Prison that shows that my husbands great great great uncle (Reese Salts) died there of Scarlett Fever. Very difficult to read!! Goodluck...
