Place of death Nichols, Tiogo Co., N.Y. exact place is unknown. I have been unable to verify his service record, but according to GAYS TIOGO CO., N Y GAZETTE page 280 he enlisted several times during the war. Would like to have his service number as well as his final place of rest. His birth, his parents, & his nationality would be nice, but I'm not greedy. Yes, I guess I am when it comes to my research.
