I am trying to determine why he was buried in the location he is, very isolated. I am looking for more informatin on him, as I am writing an article for a military magazine. I have found very little info on him, and would appreciate any you could give me. Below is all the information I currently have: Enlisted on 4/18/1861 at Harrisonburg, VA as a Private. On 4/18/1861 he mustered into "B" Co.
